Wicked Reels Introduction
There are some spooky goings on in Wicked Reels, a free online pokies game available to play from popular game manufacturer, Mobilots. If you are a fan of Halloween and love a trick or two, then this pokie is a real treat guaranteed to entertain for hours. Halloween has evolved over the years, yet nobody really knows how it came about. It is celebrated on October 31st, the Eve of All Saints, which is a well-known catholic festival.
Theme
The word itself comes from hallowed evening, the night before. It is thought that witches, ghosts, goblins and ghouls are particularly active during this night and pumpkins were carved to ward off evil spirits. Wicked Reels encompasses everything about this spooky festival, but don’t be scared - most of the characters are cute rather than terrifying! The pokie is 3-dimensional with excellent graphics and sound.
The background has a crooked house on a hill surrounded by lightning struck trees with hanging bats. It is in the style of a traditional 5x3 reel with winnings from left to right over 30 pay lines. Mobilots have considered mobile players too and Wicked Reels looks and plays brilliantly on most devices, including mobiles and tablets.
On the reels you will stumble across the classic playing card symbols that are all themed on Halloween, with full moons playing backdrop to witches on broomsticks, flying bats and haunted houses. These pay out the least, but do occur regularly. The aim of the game is to match 3, 4 or 5 symbols from left to right, therefore the more you match the bigger the win.
Also crossing your path are the goblin, witch and pumpkin, which will pay out a maximum of $2500. Wicked Reels has a cascading reel, which means every time you match the symbols, these disappear and more drop down. As you complete each spin the multiplier goes from x1 to x5, meaning your winnings increase each time the symbols drop.
How to Play Wicked Reels
When first opening up the pokie, it isn’t immediately obvious how to set your coin size. Because the game is free you will be given a starting balance. To the right of this there is your bet amount. Simply click on the figure and you will go into the settings of the game, where you have to set how many lines you wish to bet on (recommended to do 30) and your coin size which can be $0.50, $1 and $2. Within the settings you can also choose whether you want to auto play the game or have the sound on or off. Click on the green spin button to start spinning.
Wild Symbol
The wild symbol replaces any of the symbols on the reel for a winning combination. It will not replace the free spins or wicked symbol though, and is somewhat elusive!
Wicked Symbol
A pink glowing fire symbol triggers the free spins game. 3 Wickeds will give you 5 free spins, while 5 Wickeds will award a whopping 20 free spins. These are hard to find and are awarded randomly.
