Halloween Bonanza Slot Review

Halloween is celebrated rather passionately in the US of A, but the tradition of carving freaky faces into veggies apparently originated in the UK, Ireland, and Scotland.

Turnips were abused first, and they were called “punkies” or “Jack o’ Lanterns” after the ghostly lights that appeared regularly in the marshes and bogs.

When the Brits, Irish, and Scots came to America, they brought this tradition with them. However, they used pumpkins instead of turnips as they were easier to carve and were plentiful in October.

So there you have it. Never let it be said that you can’t get an education at the University of BitStarz.

This is Halloween Bonanza slot from BGAMING.

Gameplay

BGaming has brought together some cool graphics and a lighthearted soundtrack for a fun Halloween-themed game.

The symbols on the reels are made up of evil pumpkins (this is the Scatter, and it pays in any position during the base game), witches, ghosts, mummies, and even Frankenstein’s monster.

Halloween Bonanza slot works on a cluster pays system (or Refilling, as the studio calls it), which means that symbols involved in a win explode and are replaced by new symbols, and that means you could score additional wins.

This game is built on some solid math, despite its lighthearted looks. For starters, there's a 96% RTP, the max win is a respectable €204,000, and the volatility rate has been set to high.

As a final point, there are no limitations here so crypto and fiat players can give it horns in whichever currency they prefer.

Features

FREE SPINS:

You’ll need to land a couple of Scatters to trigger this round – 4 Scatters get you 10 spins, 5 Scatters award 20 spins, while 6 Scatters get you a whopping 30 spins. Land 3 additional Scatters after the fact and see your Free Spin count swell by an extra 5 spins.

You’ll most certainly also see a Multiplier symbol (this looks like a purple cauldron) during Free Spins. When it drops, it’ll take on a random multiplier value ranging from 2x to 100x.

So, what happens if you score a couple of multipliers in one go? Their values will be added together and applied to your win.

BUY BONUS:

If you’re anything like me, then this feature is the one you’ll head to first. It’ll cost you 100x your bet, and you’ll be fast-forwarded to the Free Spins round as a result. Do note though, that the Buy Bonus option won’t be available to you if you’ve selected the Chance x2 feature.

CHANCE X2:

This feature gives you an improved chance of landing Free Spins, and while there is a cost involved (at a quarter of your bet), it’s less than what you’ll be facing with the Buy Bonus.

Performance

Being the skeptic that I am means that I don’t take game studios at their word. After hundreds of rounds of testing, I can definitively say that you shouldn’t have any issues when playing Halloween Bonanza slot.
It worked a treat on all my devices, and it didn’t make a difference if I flipped between Safari and Chrome. If you’re still using Internet Explorer, then I have no words.

Maximum Win

I’m gonna say that the max win could’ve been a little better, considering we’ve got a highly volatile game here. But at just a snip over two hundred grand (€204,000), this max win is nothing to turn your nose up at.

The hard work is done by the 10,200x multiplier, and that means you only need to bet at €20 if you’re chasing that top prize. If you’re into more casual play, then start your betting at €0.20 or anything in between.

Conclusion

Halloween Bonanza slot offers an interesting combination of serious stats coupled with a carefree aesthetic. It looks fantastic in landscape mode on a phone, but portrait mode is no slouch either, so mobile play is definitely an option.

I reckon this game will appeal to casual players, newbies, or those who don’t feel like wading through, and remembering, a bunch of complicated features. Sometimes it’s nice to take it easy but at least you won’t need to compromise when it comes to the win potential.
