Monster Hunt Slot Review

Do you remember an actor called Christopher Lee? He played Dracula, as well as Saruman in the Lord of the Rings, and appeared in Star Wars and the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun, to name a few things on his resume. 🧛🏻‍♂️

Lee spoke 5 languages fluently, was an expert swordsman, and apparently, he could trace his lineage back to the Roman Emperor Charlemagne. But the thing I appreciate the most about Lee is that he was a lifelong metalhead. 🤘

You read that right – Christopher Lee released a few metal albums; one as an octogenarian, and another on his 91st birthday. 🎂🥳

And Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi credited him with starting the heavy metal genre as Lee’s role in Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy inspired the band. 🎸

Now, it seems the legend of Christopher Lee lives on in Monster Hunt slot from BGAMING.

Gameplay

The Wild symbol in Monster Hunt slot looks distinctly like Christopher Lee but with a Western twist. I’m not sure if that was BGaming’s intention but if it was, it’s a genius move as it immediately sets the scene for this horror-themed game.

The location for the 5x3-reel, 25-payline grid is near an ominous-looking castle with gloomy fog obscuring the moon. The high-paying symbols are Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, a zombie thing with half its skull missing, and a goth babe.

The grid's square format might seem perfect for mobile play, and that’s true for landscape mode. Portrait mode is still playable, but not nearly as impressive as the reels don’t take up much of the screen real estate.

If we exhume the stats, we find a 94.65% RTP, a low to medium volatility rate, and a 1,299x max multiplier. The top prize is €162,375 and you can play the game with whichever currency you prefer.

Circling back to the symbols, let’s chat about how Wilds work. These replace all symbols other than Bonus Scatters and Coins. You need scatters for the Free Spins round, while Coins trigger the Horror Re-spins feature.

Features

FREE SPINS:

Landing 3 Bonus Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 gets you into this round. You’ll only see high-paying symbols and Coins on the reels and you’ll get 8 spins initially.

However, you can re-trigger spins by landing 3 more Scatters for 8 more spins and you can do this for an unlimited number of spins.

HORROR RE-SPINS:

Hitting 6 or more Coins triggers this round; either from the base game or Free Spins round. The action takes place on a new screen where only Coin symbols land and you’ll get 3 re-spins to start.

Coins can carry values of 1x to 8x, 10x, 14x, 16x, 18x, and 20x but you can also land a Coin with a value equal to all of the visible Coins on the grid. Landing additional Coins resets the spin counter.

But the best thing about this feature is that it’s where you can clinch a Jackpot.

• Mini Jackpot: This comes about when you fill a horizontal row with Coin symbols. The Jackpot is worth 20x your bet

• Major Jackpot: This comes about when you fill 2 horizontal rows with Coin symbols. The Jackpot is worth 100x your bet

• Mega Jackpot: This comes about when you fill 3 horizontal rows with Coin symbols. The Jackpot is worth 1,000x your bet

BUY BONUS:

You can hurry your ass over to the Free Spins round for 48x or Horror Re-spins for 40x. Wow, those are exceptionally low fees!

Performance

As we’d expect from BGaming, Monster Hunt slot performed flawlessly across all devices and browsers.

Maximum Win

We need to bear in mind that this game has a low to medium volatility rate so the fact that the top prize is €162,375 shouldn’t be upsetting. In fact, it’s actually on the generous side.

The max multiplier is 1,299x and you can place your bets from €0.10 to €125.

Conclusion

I’m a sucker for horror-themed games so BGaming’s latest was always going to interest me. And I have to say, I was impressed for reasons other than the funky design.

For starters, the top prize is pretty damn sweet given the volatility rate, but the best part of Monster Hunt slot is how affordable the Buy Bonus options are. Where else have you seen 8 Free Spins for 48x or a Hold&Spin round where you can win a Jackpot for 40x? Hell yeah! 🤘

And the final reason I like this game is the mobile experience, which means I can take it on the road with me. So, if you’re in the market for a spooky slot, then you should totally give Monster Hunt a try.
