Pumpkin Smash Slot Review

At first I was confused about seeing Day of the Dead decorated pumpkins as is seen on sugar skulls, thinking it was a blend of Halloween and Dia de los Muertos but, thanks to Google (I mean thorough research) I was pleasantly surprised to find out that pumpkins are also used in the South American traditional holiday. Who knew that slots would lead you to broadening your knowledge about cultures of the world. Keeping with South American traditions, the sugar pumpkin is used as a piñata in this slot but, in stead of candy exploding out of it after smashing it, there are free spins, coins and more.

Gameplay

Pumpkin Smash is a 5x3 reel, 20 payline video slot powered by Yggdrasilsoftware. Symbols include 4 lower paying Card Suits Diamonds, Clubs, Spades and Hearts and 4 higher paying symbols Blue Sugar Skulls, Green Sugar Skulls, Purple Sugar Skulls and Red Sugar Skulls. Special symbols include a regular Wild and 3 different Sugar Pumpkin Bonus Symbols that trigger a Pumpkin Smash Bonus Game/Free Spins Feature. More detail will be given in the features section.

The game controls at the bottom of the screen from left to right are: a Plus Icon that expands to the Information button with the Pay Table, Game Settings button, Game History button, Game Rules button and Sound button. Next is the Lines Window, adjustable Coin Value window, Cash Bet window, Max Bet button, Spin button, Autoplay button, Win window and Balance Window.

Features

Features in Pumpkin Smash include a regular Wild and 3 different Sugar Pumpkin Bonus Symbols that trigger a Pumpkin Smash Bonus Game/Free Spins Feature with various prizes awarded.

The Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols in forming potential winning combinations.

There are 3 Sugar Pumpkin Bonus Symbols: 1 without a sombrero, 1 with a purple sombrero and 1 with a pink sombrero. The only difference between them is the amount of goodies that comes out of them in ascending order as listed above. This plays a role in Pumpkin Smash Bonus Feature as will be explained below…

The Pumpkin Smash Bonus Feature applies to both the base game and Free Spins Feature (the Free Spins Feature is actually only triggered by the Bonus Feature, read on to reveal more). If you land between 2-5 of any of the 3 Sugar Pumpkin Bonus Symbols anywhere on the reels in the base game you will trigger the Bonus Feature. Here the corresponding amount of Sugar Pumpkins (to the number of Sugar Pumpkin Bonus Symbols landed) will then be smashed. Each of the pumpkins will award you with 2 to 20 prizes each comprising of the following:

Entry to the Free Spins Feature awarding 7-30 free spins (if you landed 3 or more Sugar Pumpkin Bonus Symbols)
Multipliers awarding 2x-7x to a single symbol and if you get 3 more Sugar Pumpkin Bonus Symbols, that symbol will have the selected multiplier, as well as being part of a win on a Free Spin.
Cash Coin Prize awarding 60-6000 coins as a cash prize.

In the Free Spins Feature, landing 1-5 Sugar Pumpkin Bonus Symbols will trigger the Pumpkin Smash Bonus Feature again allowing you to smash 1-5 pumpkins awarding 2-10 of the following prizes:

If you land 3 or more Sugar Pumpkin Bonus Symbols you are awarded with 1-16 free spins.
Multiplier awarding 2x-7x on 1 single symbol, excluding the Wild, when it’s part of a winning combination.
Cash Coin Prize awarding 80-14000 coins as a cash prize!

Unique Features

Unfortunately there are no Unique Features in this slot besides perhaps how the bonus and free spins features are intertwined.

Performance

Pumpkin Smash may seem a bit complicated when reading but, during play it all makes sense very quickly. This is definitely one of Yggdrasil’s more simplified games but there are enough features to not make you feel that you are missing out on anything. The interpretation of the theme is fantastic compared to other slots games out there with the same theme, with an awesome design and graphics to match.

But, even better, on the other hand, you get rewarded for it. Sign me up, because this is the kind of fiesta that I will be all over! Brilliant gameplay and great payout possibilities, makes this slot worth taking a smash at! Don’t be afraid of awakening the dead, get your pumpkin on and celebrate with them, like Michael Jackson did in Thriller.
