Halloween symbols & features
If you were designing your own Halloween online slot, we bet that pumpkin symbols would be top of your list. From evil pumpkin bikers to stacked pumpkin wilds, this vegetable is the of Halloween slot symbols.
In second place are witches of many forms, from grizzled old hags to the younger, raunchier variety that are common in the fantasy genre.
If there’s a witch symbol in a Halloween online slot, there’ll be witch regalia, including brooms, cauldrons and potions. Here how’s the Halloween Fortune 2 slot approaches slot symbols…
Witches can be the hero or the villain, but there’s no doubt about the ghosts, skeletons and skulls, mummies, zombies, dismembered body parts and assorted ghouls.
Creepy creatures are also go-to for slots designers searching for sinister symbols. Bats and black cats are the obvious choice for Halloween slot symbols, as well as crows and ravens. If it’s black and breathes, it’s good to go!
Slots providers aren’t just there to create cool graphics and symbols, they need to apply the theme to the slot’s bonus features too. Pumpkin Smash has one of the best Halloween slots features, with its eponymous Pumpkin Smash bonus.
Smash the pumpkin to reveal between 2 and 20 prizes. The bigger the pumpkin, the more prizes you’ll win.
The original Halloween Fortune has a great Free Spins bonus which awards between 3 and 20 spins, followed by a potion picker mini game to choose a multiplier of up to 10x during Free Spins.
