Book of Halloween Slot Review

How to play

Like its other games, the producer ensures that this slot’s gameplay is straightforward and simple even for beginners. For instance, there are various control functions like settings, gamble, and bet buttons around the reels to enable you to customize your spins to suit your gaming preferences. The settings button will allow you to access various other controls such as the turbo spins - speeds up reels, and the title’s info.

And before you roll the wheels, you’ll have to set a desirable stake using the “BET” function to the left of the grid. There are 17 stake levels in the video slot, and you can bet anywhere between €0.10 to €50.00, qualifying it as a low-medium limit slot. You start your gameplay by pressing the spin button and enhance them using the turbo. While at it, you’ll need to match at least two or three symbols across a valid win line to achieve a reward.

Symbols and payouts

As the name suggests, the Book of Halloween slot uses typical symbols related to the holiday. And, within the icons, there are both high and low rewarding ones. The glowing pumpkin is by far the highest paying of all symbols and should be your aim while playing. It guarantees payments of up to a maximum of 500x your stake when you achieve five on a payline. All the other high paying symbols - a zombie’s hand, tombstone, and cauldron pay anywhere between 75x to 200x your bet when you land five of a kind.

The lower paying icons include the standard playing card characters 10, J, Q, K, and A, and pay at least 10x to 15x your stake for five of a kind. However, all the symbols' payouts depend on the set stake per spin, and the higher your bet value, the greater your wins. As if that’s not all, there is also a wild book symbol that appears across all reels during both the main and free spins games. It replaces all other icons except the complimentary spins’ expanding symbol. Additionally, the wild triggers the main Book of Halloween bonus feature, which we look into deeper in the next segment of our review.

Best Book of Halloween bonus feature

The game’s main highlight is the Book of Halloween free spins round which goes live when at least three, four or five wilds appear on the reels. You’ll receive 10 bonus spins besides multipliers of 2x, 20x, and 200x the activating bet, respectively. An expanding symbol appears randomly at the start of the round to boost the wins during the comp spins game. After the round ends and all wins pay out, the chosen symbol expands vertically if there are enough expanding icons for a win. The sticky symbol rewards in any position across all lines.

Additionally, you can use the gamble feature and take chances to win more in case you’re feeling lucky. The function will spin the wheel to determine your luck, and you’ll increase your reward if you win but lose it all if you don’t. 

There’s also a “spin chance” feature that activates automatically when your playing balance is lower than the set playing price. However, the balance must still be more than zero. The chance gives you an added advantage to bet your remaining balance and hopefully win an extra spin at the present bet. You’ll receive a spin if the pointer stops on the green section, but lose the remaining credit if it lands on the red section.

RTP & Volatility

The theoretical Book of Halloween RTP is 96.23%, and it has high volatility. Nonetheless, the bet limits are pretty decent for the low rollers and players who aren’t much of risk-takers. As a strategy, we advise that you shelter under the lower bet ranges to reduce the risks of losing much more than you can pocket.
