Dreadworks Slot Review
Halloween is almost upon us, summer is but a distant memory, and the cold, dreary and dark nights are beginning to set in. To usher in the spooky season, darkness and depression comes Print Studios‘ newest slot, Dreadworks.
Dreadworks takes us to Big Jack’s Toy Factory, a forsaken manufacturing hub that once served to light up the lives of children with the creation of toys. Time and perhaps even God have forgotten Big Jack’s Toy Factory, leaving it in a state of decay where joyous laughter is replaced by deafening silence.
Dreadworks feels like an alternate universe where Toy Story went malevolent, and it feels very similar thematically to their previous slot, Darkness.
Dreadworks is set to hit casinos just in time for Halloween. The question is, can you handle it?

Our Verdict
Dreadworks is another unforgettable experience, albeit a terrifying one. No one could possibly enter and come out unscathed – we’re not even sure we’re okay after reviewing it. All household children’s toys are now locked away behind chains, just in case.
Few dabble in horror, or shall we say true horror. Halloween slots aren’t uncommon, but they’re all so soft, and rarely anything resembling terrifying. Print Studios and Nolimit City are perhaps the only ones to truly meddle in the taboo world of paranormal activity, but we think Print Studios does it particularly well with very immersive visuals.
We see a lot of Darkness in Dreadworks, which certainly isn’t a bad thing. The Big Jack Feature certainly feels Darkness-inspired, and the return of Print Studios’ SuperSpinners makes it feel recognisable to players who have experienced Print Studios’ portfolio thus far.
Doom and Gloom has never looked so good, as does its frightening 20,000x potential.
