Halloween comes but once a year but thankfully, there are plenty of free pokies that let you enjoy this spooktacular event all year round. Trick or Treat, by Gameplay Interactive, is one of these, and with its scary surprises, ghastly graphics and brutal bonuses, this game is perfect for Halloween lovers or those looking for a pokie with a twist.
However, in order to make sure you’re taking home the treats, you'd best familiarise yourself with the rules of this game first.
Spine-chilling symbols
To really add to the overall theme of this game, all of the symbols you find on this pokie are ones you’d expect to find at Halloween. The witch hat, broom, crystal ball, stone cross and full moon are your lowest-paying standard symbols, and you’ll find them appearing readily on your reels. They’re worth finding and adding to your bucket of treats, though, as they can offer anything from 2 to 800 credits, which will really boost your winnings. The witch, spider, bell and potions are the higher paying symbols, with the witch and spider also rewarding you for just 2-of-a-kind. Don’t worry if you see five witches appearing on a winning payline, because they won’t turn you into a frog. Instead, they’ll provide you with a whopping 10,000 credits!Casting a spell
There are some great features in Trick or Treat, which makes this pokie more about treats than tricks. The game's wild icon is depicted by a skeleton and this will appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, expanding over the third reel each time it appears there. As this symbol can replace all of the aforementioned standard ones, it’ll help you to create even more winning combinations. The scatter symbol is a smiling pumpkin, but there’s nothing sinister about this. When you find three or more of these on your reels., in any order, it’ll trigger the Plumpy Pumpkin feature. Here, you’ll be asked to choose from several pumpkins, which will determine which bonus round you get, with freezing wilds, multipliers and free spins being available. Finally, when you get three or more bonus icons on a winning payline, you’ll be given access to the witch’s spell room, where you can cast a spell in three different areas to win some fantastic cash prizes.Choose your poison
To make sure you’re getting the right treats for you, Trick or Treat allows you to tailor your bet amount to your budget. So, you can choose how much you want to bet per line (there are 20 paylines in total), with 0.01 coins to 1.20 coins per line being available. This creates minimum bets of 0.20 coins and maximums of 24 coins. After each win, you’re given the chance to “double up”, where you’re taken to a door and have to choose between the door on the left or right side, to find out whether you’ve received a trick or a treat. The treat is you double your money, and the trick is that you’ve lost it all. When you win, you can take the money or have a go at doubling up again.
