Paranormal Activity Introduction
Like all pokies, the lower half of the paytable is populated with card symbols but then the symbols get interesting. Paramount Pictures co-produced the game so it retains all the hallmarks of the original with symbols related to the movie’s found footage feel with a camera, lights and a ghostly image. There is also an ouija board that trails fire, and the ancient circle within a triangle symbol seen in Paranormal Activity 3.
Expect the biggest payout for a full house of 5 of the bloody hand scatter symbols which deliver 750 coins. The reels form part of a TV screen that is occasionally interrupted by static and strange banging and knocking noises. The animations are well done and strangely shocking. Everything adds up to a genuinely creepy experience, which will be familiar to anyone who knows the films.
You can stake between 0.01 to 6 coins a spin, so this isn’t a game that will break the bank but it might just give you a sleepless night.
Paranormal features
The bonus symbols ramp up the fear factor. The wild is a dead-eyed and possessed little girl who combines with other symbols to produce winning combinations. But what sets iSoftbet's Paranormal Activity apart is the bonus symbol that lands on reels 1, 3 and 5 and triggers 1 of 3 free spins bonus games. Paranormal free spins: you’ll be rewarded with free spin after free spin until you finally hit 5 wins.
Each will be rewarded with a progressive multiplier for 1x to 5x. Possessed free spins: 10 free spins plus stacked wilds added to the reels on each free spin. Demon free spins: 15 free spins are on offer plus the wild Demon who has the power to change other symbols to wilds.
Finally, there’s one last feature that can hit at any time and make you jump out of your seat, and that’s the Paranormal Event feature which lands randomly and adds up to 5 wilds to your game reels.
