Spooky season is almost upon us, and with the leaves slowly starting to fall and the trees turning to crispy colours, we think an update is needed. Themed slots are incredibly popular here at Fruity Slots, and there is no better way to get in the spooky spirit than by playing Halloween slots!
While you can play these year-round, nothing is better than cosying up with a hot chocolate under a soft blanket with your favourite Halloween game in front of you for some reel action.
Without further ado, let’s introduce the best Halloween slots for you to play this autumn, with the inclusion of new and classic releases!
1: San Quentin 2: Death Row Slot by Nolimit City
Enjoy the thrill of the criminal world with San Quentin 2: Death Row. Nolimit City’s jailed us more than once with this video slot. You play as popular protagonist Kenneth as he experiences the trials and tribulations of prison (though nothing as difficult as Michael Scofield ever went through).
We previously rated this game 10/10 in our slot review because of its amazing premise, and the cinematic experience players have when playing. Combine a killer soundtrack with 200,000x max win and life behind bars, and you have the incomparable San Quentin 2.
While the game is not themed around Halloween, it’s a scary concept. Imagine a life in prison without parole, with enemies lurking everywhere. However, maybe this Halloween, if you give it a chance, you might make a nice life in jail, who knows?
2: Dreadworks By Print Studios
A creepy release by Print Studios, Dreadworks transports players to a chilling toy factory, Big Jack’s Toy Factory. Inside the forgotten abyss, there is a lonely trail of toys and a place where light once came to life through children’s toys. Now that laughter falls on deaf ears. Dreadworks was released last year, just before Halloween, but holds up a year later.
Dreadworks is a 5-reel 3-row video slot and has many great features. It is a highly volatile slot; the max win is 20,000x your bet. In this slot, you will find a mix of horror combined with potential big wins. Superspinners and Jack-In-The-Box wilds can change your whole game around, all while you’re trying to face a creepy toy factory.
Want a scare this Halloween? Try out the slot that puts the dread in works.
3: Esqueleto Explosivo 3 by Thunderkick
The singing skulls are back in Thunderkick’s third release of this popular game. Esqueleto Explosivo 3 does not have a particularly compelling story, but it has everything for you to get you into the Halloween spirit.
It is set during Día de los Muertos, The Day of the Dead, a holiday where people remember their lost loved ones. The slot is a 5×5 slot which features a Cluster Pays mechanic. You can win by landing matching symbols vertically or horizontally next to each other.
The appeal of this Day Of The Dead-themed slot is not only in its timing (with the Day Of The Dead starting the day after Halloween), but in its adorable six skull symbols. Your max win in this game is up to 150x your bet, with the maximum bet being £.€100 per spin.
A fan favourite for our users, Esqueleto Explosivo 3 will revive us this year, once it becomes acceptable to break out the pumpkins!
4: Mental 2 by Nolimit City
Nolimit City loves their horror releases, and Mental 2 is mentally terrifying. A disturbing sequel 2 to Mental, this 5-reel video slot drives viewers into madness with the reappearance of the asylum setting. To win in this game, you must match 3 or more of the same symbol types from left to right.
Now, the good news is that we rated it 9.6 out of 10. It has all the features you want when playing during Halloween – a sinister setting, great graphics, and crazy wins. What we know is you will be spooked, scared, and surprised when playing this slot. Maybe you’re spooked by the scariness of it all, or you’re spooked because you can win big with the Dead Patients symbol.
Yes, if 2 more of these symbols appear on the reels in a single spin, another patient symbol will appear, which will activate a multiplier between 5x and x9,999, leaving potential for a crazy game. It may be no American Horror Story: Asylum, but with terrifying symbols and big wins, this is a must-play this Halloween.
5: Razor Returns By Pushing Gaming
Razor Returns is a game where you need to watch out for apex predators. In this sequel by Push Gaming, the sharks are more powerful than ever. Push Gaming has given them more predator potential and more for the player. The paylines have dramatically increased to 40 in the sequel. To win, all you need to do is have 3 identical symbols connecting from left to right on the same payline.
What is great about Razor Returns is that the game’s graphics still provide some terror, although the game is not strictly Halloween-themed. You have lots of features that can increase your wins through the Mystery symbols. Furthermore, the paying symbols are shockingly scary, with Wild or Golden shark symbols, which can result in amazing prizes.
Other symbols in this game can dramatically change the direction of play, with instant prizes, multipliers, and even torpedo symbols to explode your game.
6: Grimm’s Bounty: Hansel & Gretel by PG Soft
An interesting twist on a dark fairytale, this slot by PG Soft sees brother and sister Hansel and Gretel trapped in the darkness as their village was cursed by the evil witch Muriel.
Although it is originally based on the fairytale by the Brothers Grimm, this video slot is perfect for a cozy Halloween. Combine puzzle-solving with a fairytale and potential wins, and you get Grimm’s Bounty.
This game will have you grimming and bearing it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its pros. You have a maximum win potential of 10,000x, and some other neat features that also boost your winning odds.
Whether you’re playing for the fairytale or for the wins, you won’t want to miss this twist on the classic Grimm fairytale this Halloween.
