Being a fan of horror, I was very interested to try out Halloween Jack and I most certainly was not disappointed. NetEnt made a spin-off from some of their popular games and made one for horror lovers to celebrate the 31st of October. When you start the game you are immediately drawn into a backdrop of spookiness. Some of the traditional traits of Halloween are included in this slot, including jack-o-lanterns, skeletons, lightning and crows. NetEnt stuck to their entertainment roots with this slot which contains 5 reels and 20 paylines.
How Popular is Halloween Jack Slot in New Zealand?
As with most NetEnt developments, New Zealand is very familiar with Halloween Jack and is rather popular in the country, even though Halloween isn’t nearly as celebrated in New Zealand when compared to other countries. This game features excellent graphics, sound effects and bonuses that draw in several types of players.
My Experience with Halloween Jack Slot
I was very excited when I found out that there was a horror-themed slot from NetEnt and I didn’t hesitate to try it. Having a Halloween basis for a game definitely made it quite unique. Including some impressive graphical designs and spooky sound effects, made the experience of playing Halloween Jack a memorable one and one that I would go back to. It would be easy to recommend this slot to others.
Before I let my excitement get away from me, I decided to start out with small bets to get the feel for the game before moving on to larger wagers. The minimum bet is 0.20 which is higher than other games’ minimum bets. Thankfully there is a free-trial option for players to get used to the game before betting. The maximum bet is set at 100.00 which I found was quite appealing after I got used to the game and wanted to wager larger amounts.
Bonuses, Gameplay, Variance
Bonuses are another attractive feature of Halloween Jack. This slot is a high-variance that allows for potentially larger winnings. Wins are calculated at one and half times to fifty times your original bet for a single five of a kind range. Using randomly allocated wild and scatter symbols during the spins can up the potential win to a maximum jackpot of six thousand times the original bet. Free spins are awarded to players when three or more scatters appear anywhere on the reels. Free spins are regularly allocated so as the bonus rounds which give players greater opportunities of winning big.
Volatility: High.
Conclusion
Halloween Jack is not only a unique and entertaining experience but also has the allure of being a slot for potentially large payouts. Even though it is a spin-off of other games by NetEnt, it is a very successful one. It is not complicated or difficult to understand and has a spooky appeal to it. It is a slot that I would return to and recommend to others.
