Hallowin (Platipus): Slot Review and Free Play Demo

Hallowin (Platipus) Review

Platipus remain to be an ambitious slot studio, and we’re always happy to review their new releases, even if they aren’t always top-notch in every single regard. In this online slot review, we’ll take a look at the Hallowin slot that was launched just in time for the 2022 Halloween season. It takes place on a playing field with 5 reels, 3 rows and 50 paylines.

The atmosphere of Hallowin is pleasantly spooky, and it’s easy to like its audiovisual presentation. We especially have to highlight the gorgeous and detailed symbol designs, which work really well as a whole and which allow players to really dive into things. There are plenty of Halloween slots that look rather bland overall, but this one most certainly doesn’t belong to that category!

Hallowin Slot – Reels Screen

The mathematical model of Hallowin combines a medium volatility model with a reasonable 1,380x jackpot, and you can play for many different stakes between £0.50 and £50 per spin. That’s all fine and well, but we also have to add that the package comes with a disappointing theoretical RTP that clocks in at just 95%.

Hallowin Slot Features

There are as many as 10 pay symbols in Hallowin, and it’s possible to divide them evenly into 5 low-paying symbols and 5 high-paying symbols. For low-paying symbols, Hallowin has your classic card ranks from Tens to Aces, but it’s fair to say that their designs are better than what you’d perhaps expect. For high-paying symbols, meanwhile, there are spiders, bats, cats, monsters and ghosts.

Aside from pay symbols, there are also Mansion Wilds, Cauldron Scatters and Pumpkin symbols. Mansion Wilds can substitute for other symbols and even pay out on their own, and it’s also worth noting that they can sometimes cover entire reels. Cauldron Scatters and Pumpkin symbols, meanwhile, interact with the slot’s gameplay features.

Hallowin Slot – Free Spins Feature

If you manage to find 3 or more Cauldron Scatters in view, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with a set of 10 free spins. Landing another set of 3+ Cauldron Scatters during a free spin will then net you 5 extra free spins, and all Mansion Wilds that land during free spins automatically expand to cover an entire reel.

Landing 6+ Pumpkin symbols will trigger the Spooky Spins feature that will net you a set of 5 special Spooky Spins. These can net you extra Pumpkin symbols, which can net you cash prizes, additional Spooky Spins, and even various fixed jackpots.

Getting 15 Pumpkin symbols with prizes will net you the Jackpot Wheel feature, which can even net you the Grand Jackpot worth

Players can then also use the Feature Buy option and purchase the slot’s gameplay features directly. Buying the Spooky Spins feature will cost you 40x your bet, while buying the Free Spins feature will set you back by 50x your bet.

Review Summary

The bottom line is that Hallowin is a fancy Halloween slot that boasts not only great audiovisuals, but also a plethora of enjoyable gameplay features. It’s a bit of a shame, then, that its RTP is on the lower side of the spectrum, as it’d be an instant classic otherwise. It’s still a good game as it stands, but not one that we can recommend to players that are looking for slots with juicy math models.
