Introduction
Play N Go rarely get it wrong, and Helloween is another great example of what they can do. This Halloween/rock band themed pokie is full of stunning graphics and thrilling bonus features. The game is simple to play and has the trademark Play N Go feel.
Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack
Helloween has a Halloween and rock band theme, and boasts a fantastic rock soundtrack. The graphics are, as is often the case with this Swedish provider, out of this world. This is a slick, stunning pokie and screams high quality from the second you launch the game.
The soundtrack is great and really adds to the exhilarating feel of the game.
Helloween RTP and Variance
The RTP of Helloween is 94.2%. This is actually pretty low for a Play N Go pokie game, although they are one of the few providers that does have variable RTPs depending on which site you are playing their pokies on. This RTP might be a little too low for some players who are strict about how low they go, but in our experience, it's still perfectly possible to land decent wins so we would recommend giving it at least a few spins and seeing how you get on!
The game is medium volatility. We didn't find too many dead spins and were happy to land some sizeable wins, but every single session is unique so all you can do is try it yourself.
How to Play Helloween
This is a simple game to play, but there are some step-by-step instructions in case you need them.
1. Launch the game and wait for the intro screens to finish. There is useful info about the game on these screens, so it's worth paying attention if this is your first time playing!
2. Locate the total bet options at the bottom of the screen.
3. Click on the total bet amount you wish to play for.
4. Hit the spin button and you're off!
That's all there is to it. You will always be betting on all 10 paylines and there are no other game settings to change!
Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins
The smallest bet size is 10 coins, but this might vary across different sites and currencies. The biggest win available is 20 times your bet, and this comes when you land five wilds on a single payline. Of course, the maximum win from a single spin will be far higher than this because you can win on multiple lines - especially where wilds are involved!
Helloween Bonus Features
Play N go pokies often have excellent free spins rounds and Helloween is no exception. In fact, it doesn't just offer one free spins round - it has seven. These are all triggered in exactly the same way. You'll need to land three scatters on the reels in the base game to launch the bonus round. The scatter symbol is the special seven keys symbol and can only land on reels 1, 3 and 5.
When the three scatters have landed, you will be taken to the bonus screen. The seven keys turn into different symbols, each one representing one of the seven free spins features. These symbols will spin round until one is chosen at random. All of the below features award five free spins. The free spins features are as follows:
- I'm Alive: In this free spins feature, wilds are held in place and expand up or down one position with each spin.
- Future World: Wilds land and expand to fill the whole reel.
- Eagle Fly Free: One new wild is added to the reels with each free spin, then remains on the reels for the remainder of the bonus free spins, switching to a new position each spin.
- Dr Stein: One of the royal symbols is chosen at random to become a wild with each spin.
- March of Time: Every wild turns into a Walking Wild, which stays on the reels for the entire bonus round and moves to the left with each spin.
- I Want Out: All wilds that land on the reels expand to giant 2x2 symbols, filling four spots.
The final free spins feature is the Helloween Free Spins. This is the only feature that awards seven free spins initially. The Helloween Free Spins can be retriggeredby landing three scatters on the reels at any point during the bonus round.
Our Verdict on Helloween
8/10. We are big, big fans of Play N Go pokies generally, and this one doesn't disappoint. In fact, it would have been a solid 9/10 if only the RTP were that little bit higher. The free spins round is excellent, with great win potential, and the fact there are seven different free spins rounds keeps things exciting. Having said that, it can be disappointing when you get your least favourite of the free spins rounds!
