Play Horror Castle for Free

Everyone has a little bit of an obsession with the macabre. No matter whether you just indulge the dark side by watching a horror movie at Halloween or if you have compiled a complete kit to survive a zombie apocalypse, the genre of horror can be as entertaining as it is terrifying.

Horror Castle taps into our innate fascination with all things spooky by presenting a set of 5 reels that are decorated with all sorts of gruesome characters and iconic symbols of the occult. There are creepy crawly spiders and bloodied meat cleavers, freaky skulls and dilapidated tombstones, gory eyeballs and claustrophobic coffins. The perfect set of props for a classic Hammer Horror movie!

Starring in this horrible slot machine are some equally iconic characters from the underworld. There is the grey and grisly Grim Reaper, the green and ghastly Frankenstein, the blue and bloodthirsty Dracula, and the pallid and impaled zombie.

All of the symbols shown on the reels of this slot machine have been rendered in cartoon-like 2D. Therefore, in reality, there isn't anything too scary about this slot machine given its somewhat novelty nature. Nevertheless, the game has all of the tropes of a good horror-themed slot, with a full moon and haunted house in the background, a dungeon wall for the frame, plenty of dripping blood, and a suspenseful backing track to put a chill down punters' spines.

Spinners of this slot machine might also get a spine-tingling feeling if they manage to line up some of the winning combinations that are presented in the game's paytable. We have recreated that very same table below for you to take a look at:

All of those multiplier values above will be applied to the bet on the individual winning line. So, with line bets that range from 0.01 to 1.00, players will be in with a chance to win a top line bet jackpot worth 2,000 credits. Helping spinners to reach that prize is a special wild black cat icon that will substitute for all symbols that pay their wins as a line bet multiplier.

When it comes to placing their bets, punters will have the option to alter the number of paylines that are active on the reels. So, if you just want some casual spins without a huge overall stake, then you can play with just 1 payline. If you'd rather just go all out for the maximum chance to win some big prizes, then you can spin the reels with a maximum of 25 paylines.

There is one symbol that won't pay its wins on the paylines, and that is the coffin scatter symbol. Instead, this creepy icon will pay total bet multipliers worth 10x, 25x and 100x whenever three, four or five appear on the reels, regardless of payline position. In fact, if players play with the maximum possible total bet of 25.00 credits, then they could win the game's ultimate jackpot prize of 2,500 credits. The good news doesn't end there, because three or more of these symbols on the reel means 12 free spins, during which all prizes are doubled in value.

In reality, this WorldMatch software slot machine might not give you any worrying nightmares due to its slightly novelty approach to the horror genre. However, that doesn't mean that the game isn't a thrill to spin, with its offering of 12 free games with doubled wins. So, if you are after some ghoulish gambling action this Halloween, this slot is well worth a punt.
