Helloween

Helloween slot by Play’n GO is a branded release that celebrates the German power metal band with the same name while also marking the beginning of the spooky season.

Play’n GO proved times and times again that they know how to do a banging rock-themed slot with releases like Twisted Sister, Testament, Saxon, and many others. Helloween is no different.

Design

The superb visuals are inspired by the creative artwork featured on the Keeper of the Seven Keys (part I and II) album covers and mixed in with Halloween imagery. As you spin, you also get to enjoy the music off of these albums. On the 5-reel setup with ten paylines, we get six low-pays as card ranks and four high-pays that are two creepy hands with a key, four peculiar creatures, the Keeper of the keys, and a ring with a pumpkin on it. The jack o’lanterns are Wilds, and floating keys are Scatters.

Maths

Helloween is a mid volatility slot with an RTP of 96.20%. The maximum potential win is 5,000x your bet.

Features

This game comes packed with seven different Wilds that will appear at certain points of the game, matching the features.

Landing three Scatters will show the Keeper of the Seven Keys feature wheel, where it is possible to trigger one of seven free spins features. Each of the features awards 5 free spins, except for the Helloween Free Spins, which awards 7 spins.

I’m Alive: Wilds that land during this feature are held in place and expand up or down a place, on each spin, to fill the reel. After the reel fills and wins are paid out, the Wild will disappear.

Future World: Whenever the Future Wild lands, it expands to fill the entire reel.

Eagle Fly Free: One Wild is flown onto the reels on each spin, remaining on the reels and changing position on every spin.

Dr. Stein: A low-pay is randomly selected, and all instances of it that land turn Wild on each spin.

March of Time: Wilds that land stay on the reels and move one spot to the left on every spin. Once they have reached the 1st reel, they will disappear on the next spin.

I Want Out: Wilds that land grow in size to 2x2.

Helloween Free Spins: Starts off with 7 spins and offers the chance to retrigger the Keeper of the Seven Keys feature wheel by collecting 3 Scatters. When the Scatter collection meter is filled, it resets, and any further Scatters on the reels are added after the feature is triggered.

All bonus rounds have the Helloween Multiplier on top of the reels that can activate randomly after the free spins and award you with a total Win Multiplier of x2, x3, x5, or x10.
