Helloween

Helloween slot from Play’n GO was released on 14th October 2020. The casino game has a delightfully spooky theme and is based on the power metal band from Germany that has the same name as the slot. The game itself has a rather standard 5 reel, 10 payline setup, but compliments this with a ton of different bonuses including free spins and a multiplier.

The game also has a number of other features including a wheel, roaming wilds, big wilds and so much more. Better still, you can get 10x your winnings in the bonus rounds as well as an overall maximum win of 5000x the initial stake. With an RTP of 96.2%, you’re looking at a whole lot more fun. Read our slot review for all the details.

Helloween slot Technical Features

As mentioned at the beginning of this Helloween slot review, the game has what is considered a rather simple layout. The game has 5 reels, 3 rows and just 10 fixed paylines. This might not seem like it provides you with very much leeway, but this simple gameplay does in fact offer a wealth of different features and possible wins that we will delve into.

Better still, this game has a pretty wide betting range too going from 10p through to £100 per spin. This allows players of all budgets to enjoy this game. The Helloween RTP is a pretty high 96.2% too. This means you can expect to get good payouts. Match this with the medium variance this games offers, and you’re looking at a potentially lucrative game.

Bonus features

Keeper of the Seven keys feature wheel

The Keeper of the Seven Keys bonus wheel feature is triggered when 7 of the key scatters land on the first, third and fifth reel in a spin. This will then trigger one of 6 different bonus features. Each of the features has a different set of rules including expanding wilds, free spins, sticky wilds and more. The scatter will always act as a wild during any of these features.

Free spins feature

If the bonus wheel feature wasn’t enough, there’s also a separate Free Spins feature too. This always kicks off with 7 free spins. If the scatter appears on the reels, these get collected as you continue to play. Collect three, and you then initial the Keeper of the Seven Keys feature so that you get all those extra features during your free spins too.

Theme and design

Helloween mixes the fun Halloween theme with the fact that this is also the name of a German rock band. As such, this game actually focus on the band in question. The reels are set on a medieval tower backdrop. On top of that, the Keeper of the Keys feature is actually named after one of the band’s albums. The symbols also match some band icons.

As you might expect, the soundtrack accompanying this game is actually from two of the German band’s albums. This helps to bring in a little more of the eerie ambiance into the game, as well as giving fans of the band something else to enjoy. With all the detailed symbols and fun sounds, this is a great way to occupy some time and win!

Metal bands slots

We like it when developers release slots that pay tribute to artists or music bands. Being fans of rock and metal, we couldn’t miss Helloween, just as we were very enthusiastic about the heavy metal band Demon slot and the famous American rock legend Alice Cooper featured in a slot which I highly recommend.

But we also generally like slots that draw their inspiration from famous bands, such as Play’n Go’s Saxon slot machine and Big Time Gaming’s Lil’ Devil, which is a song by The Cult.
