Believe it or not, casino operators and developers are actually quite festive people. Whenever a major holiday rolls around, they launch promotions and games to get players in the holiday spirit.
This week, Halloween is upon us – and it seems to be a favourite holiday among gaming developers, as there is a lot of material for them to base great games on.
We’re almost certain that you’ve never heard of Resident Evil online slots. While it is a very popular video game and movie franchise, the Halloween-themed slots game has not received a great deal of attention, but it is a great online slots title for players who want to get spooked out.
The animated symbols feature monsters from the game, which jump off the screen whenever a winning combination is made. If you’re ever played the video game, you’ll know what kinds of nightmare-inducing monsters you will encounter.
The slots game also does a great job of incorporating elements of the game, using healing herbs as multipliers. Our only gripe is that the jackpot is just 2000 coins.
The Frightmare Series of Halloween-themed slots from Cryptologic also get a special mention. While they do not particular stand out in terms of design, they are some of the only Halloween-type games that are linked to a progressive jackpot network.
This means players have the chance to win generous cash prizes by playing one of four games in the series: Vampire Bats, Witches & Warlocks and Zone of the Zombies. Each game features a similar format with a different theme, and a progressive jackpot that pays out bi-weekly.
Microgaming has put a fantastic twist on Halloween-themed slots this year, as it has created an inventive new game called Alaxe in Zombieland. If that name sounds familiar, this is likely because it was based on the classic Lewis Caroll tale, Alice in Wonderland.
The design is the stuff of Tim Burton’s dreams, with creepy Cheshire Cats and a dark, graveyard setting. There are plenty of scatter bonuses available for players to take part in, and the jackpot prize is a generous $10 000, so we feel that it’s an all-around winner if you’re looking for a great online slots game.
While Microgaming has not created Immortal Romance specifically for Halloween, this online slots game makes a great one for the Halloween season. It is most closely aligned with the Twilight book and movie series, but if you can look past that, it is a great game.
It features a 243 ways to win format, so players do not need to wager on individual paylines. With a wide range of bonus features and presenting the chance to win a $50 000 prize, it is certainly worth playing.
