Halloween Fortune II - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Enter a surprisingly beautiful world of Halloween magic where stunning witches could bring you good fortune and high volatility excitement. There is nothing to be afraid of in this 25-payline, five-reel slot from Playtech, apart from a fairly dire RTP compared with the original Halloween Fortune slot.

Halloween Fortune II theme and storyline

As the name suggests, the action is set around 31 October. This is not the usual Frankenstein-filled caper, as this game focuses more on witchcraft and the spells cast by magical cartoon ladies who just happen to look as seductive as the promise of wins might be to you. The reels are set in what looks like a mysterious forest. In addition to the attractive witches with not a wart in sight, the reels are filled with magical potions, pumpkin wilds, and menacing ravens that look like they are just waiting to peck out someone’s eyes.

Halloween Fortune II RTP and variance 

This choice of Playtech free play slots has an RTP of 94.99 per cent. This is way below the industry average, which sits at around 96 per cent, and is far below the 97.06 per cent offered by the first Halloween Fortune game. It is also a highly volatile slot, which may put off players who prefer lots of smaller wins to prolonged periods during which you just have to hope that the larger prizes arrive.

If this game isn’t for you and you fancy trying other slots from the same maker, why not start with Playtech's Panther Moon slot?

How to play Halloween Fortune II

Free play slots are not generally hard to navigate; however, if you want some help with this spooky game, here are our top tips to get you started:

1. The slot has a pretty standard Playtech toolbar, although it has been given a little added style to fit in with the theme of the game. The autospin button, for example, is in the shape of a cauldron, while the info tab that gives you quick access to the game’s paytable takes the shape of the all-important spellbook.
2. As with many Playtech slots, the 25 paylines in this game are fixed. This means you don’t have to worry about deciding how many lines you want to play. You will need to choose your stake and will find plus and minus tabs to enable you to do this quickly and easily.
3. The three-bar gives you access to a range of personalisation settings, along with other ways to view the paytable and change your bet. When setting your stake, always remember to keep your budget in mind and never bet more than you could comfortably afford to lose.

Halloween Fortune II bet sizes & paytable wins

The minimum stake in this game is 0.01 per line per spin. As the 25 paylines are fixed, this equates to a starting bet of 0.25 per spin. If you like to make more adrenaline-boosting bets, the maximum stake allowed is 0.40 per line, which means a top bet of 10.00 per spin. This is very low considering that many online slots - including other Playtech games - offer maximum bets in their hundreds. This may put you off if you are into higher-rolling action, although it is likely to be plenty for middle-of-the-road players and more risk-averse slots spinners.

Wins are paid out for combinations of two or more of some symbols and three or more of others. The pumpkin wild, which can substitute for other icons to create wins, offers the highest payout for combinations of symbols; for example, it will pay out 10 for two icons and 3,000 for a five of a kind.

The Halloween scatter symbol offers prizes for two or more, along with a multiplier and locked wilds. It will pay out 1 for 2 symbols and 100 for five-strong combinations. Other prizes for five of a kind are as follows:

• Skull and candle = 1,000
• Black cat = 600
• Raven = 400
• Red witch = 200
• Blue witch = 150
• Green witch = 100

There are also prizes for blue, green and purple potions, which range from 30 to 75 for five matching icons.

Halloween Fortune II review: our verdict

This is not a bad game. It has some pleasant graphics and a decent free spins feature with locked wilds and growing multipliers; however, it is unlikely to set your world on fire, especially with its super-low maximum bet and not much more impressive RTP.
