Haunted Hospital - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Haunted Hospital is played on a 3x3 grid with 27 paylines. It is a 2017 release by Wazdan within the horror genre and is packed with quality graphics for truly engrossing gameplay. It is creepy and freaky, and we love it! The slot also gives players back some control, as both the speed and volatility are adjustable. This means it is a game that can bend to suit all player types and preferences.

The reels are encased in stone, with an IV line of blood attached down the side dripping the red stuff on a road to nowhere. Beneath the reels is a very novel user interface. The buttons are shaped like pills, with the lines, coin value and cash bet to the left. The spin button is flanked by autoplay and max bet in the centre. To the right is the balance, win amount, speed and volatility. The game information is found on the narrow bar at the bottom.

The symbols include an open-mouthed long-haired woman (the mystery symbol), a grinning surgeon in green scrubs (wild symbol), a crazy scientist, a crazy surgeon with a saw, a wide-eyed janitor, a nightmare nurse, a wheelchair, an examination table, the haunted hospital building itself, a syringe, a butcher’s knife and a scalpel. There are also three lower-value jars containing a brain, hand and eyes.

The wild substitutes all symbols except the scatter and mystery symbols to help create winning combinations. The scatter is the man in a straight-jacket and face mask, like Hannibal Lecter.

After any win, you will have the option to gamble should you decide to risk your win in the hopes of doubling it.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

This slot falls squarely within the horror theme. This is a genre that tempts and tantalises as much as it scares players, drawing us in despite wanting to cover our eyes. Abandoned hospitals and crazy surgeons and mad scientists have long been factors in the haunted, creepy theme for books and films; now, they have made their way to the slot world.

A creepy old hospital sets the scene for this slot, with a blood-smeared examination table and broken windows in the background. Lights flicker and eerie shadows of gnarled clawed hands sneak around the reels. The 3D graphics are contemporary and impressive and more what you would expect from a console game than a casual slot.

Building up the horror is a range of eerie sound-effects, from bone-chilling ghostly sounds to slopping blood and spine-tingling screams. The combination of sleek animations, top-notch graphics and scary sounds make for highly atmospheric gameplay.

Haunted Hospital RTP & volatility

The RTP is very appealing at 96.49 per cent, just over the 96 per cent average we like to see. The volatility is adjustable, so players can choose low, medium or high depending on their preferences, giving them some control over their gameplay.

Bet sizes & paytable wins

The minimum bet is just 0.10 coins, which is great for the more casual players. The maximum is 100.00 coins, which should satisfy the higher rollers.

Symbols pay for combinations of three. The long-haired zombified woman pays 0.10x - 50.00x for three, while the grinning surgeon in scrubs pays 16x for three. The lowest paying are the jars of body parts, which are all worth 0.10x for three.

The maximum win is estimated at 50,000x, which is ample to seek your teeth into.

Haunted Hospital bonus features

There are two main features in this slot, with free spins and mystery symbols in addition to the aforementioned gamble element.

Overall review

Horror Hospital is a thrilling slot in more ways than one. We can’t help but ooze positivity over the theme and aesthetics, as the whole thing looks and sounds incredible. The atmosphere is dark and creepy and delicious, making this horror-fest a truly distinctive and intriguing slot.

The gameplay is straightforward and smooth on desktop. It received an update in 2019 and we have been able to play it on mobile, albeit with a much smaller set of reels with slightly fiddly buttons.

The nine spins granted in the free spins bonus is a good number to give players extra chances to win, and we like the suspense created with the mystery symbol as we wait to see what multiplier prize awaits. Likewise, the gamble element ups the ante for those wanting a little more risk.

For horror with a lighter, more comical touch, check out the Beetlejuice Megaways slot by Barcrest based on the family favourite 80s movie Beetlejuice. There are 248,832 ways to win, a 96 per cent RTP, medium to high volatility, free spins with increasing multipliers, and expanding reels.
