Halloween Wins 3

Halloween Wins 3 Review

Each new installment in Red Rake’s feature-rich Halloween series piles on at least one new monster. We have seen both Dracula and Frankenstein in the original Halloween Wins, with a classic-looking ghost added for good measure in last year’s follow-up Halloween Wins 2. In Halloween Wins 3, you also get to meet a mummy with a creepy smile, and the game takes you inside its secret tomb in the heart of the haunted mansion.

You start by selecting your preferred bet level, ranging from €0.20 to €35 per spin, which should satisfy most types of players. Halloween Wins 3 plays out on a 5x4 grid with 50 paylines, and you win by landing 3 to 5 matching symbols across at least one payline, starting from the leftmost reel. Dracula is the highest value symbol, followed by a black cat, a horse and carriage, and a ghost. These pay 20x to 6x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, while the royals award 6x to 3x for the same.

Halloween Wins 3 Slot - Reels Screen

If you played last year’s installment, you’ll probably recognize most of the features in Halloween Wins 3. The Dracula Respin triggers from a full-reel wild and delivers regular wilds on the respin. You’ll also benefit from regular expanding wilds and a random multiplier of up to x20 that can boost wild wins at random times. All these wilds have in common that they substitute for regular pay symbols to help complete wins. Wilds pay up to 20x your stake for 5 wilds on a payline.

In addition to all that, you once again have Frankenstein’s Triple Electric Wheel bonus to look forward to, as well as a hold & win-style Halloween Ghosts Mini Game and a Free Spins Bonus featuring a random win multiplier per spin. Halloween Wins 3 boasts an RTP of 95.4%, which hovers around the industry average, and the game’s max win is 4,081x your stake.

Halloween Wins 3 Features

Whether you’ve already sampled the Halloween Wins 3 free play demo or not, it can be a good idea to brush up on the game’s features. Not least since there are so many of them in this game, and we’ll do our best to give you a complete overview and clarity below.

Dracula Respin

Whenever you land the Dracula Wild fully in view, so it covers the middle reel, you trigger the Dracula Respin feature. This awards a single respin with the Dracula Wild frozen in place on the center reel, with the possibility of landing regular 1x1-sized Dracula Wilds on reels 1, 2, 4, and 5 during the respin. All the wilds substitute for regular pay symbols to help complete or improve wins.

Expanding Wilds & Random Multiplier Wilds

Expanding Wild symbols can appear on any reel, and these cover the full reels they land on. As wilds, they substitute for pay symbols to help complete or improve line wins. In addition, random wins that involve at least one wild symbol can be boosted by a random win multiplier of x2, x3, x4, x6, x8, x10, x12, or x20.

Triple Electric Wheel

The Triple Electric Wheel bonus triggers when you land 3 Frankenstein symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5, and the wheel boasts 3 rings with multipliers and pockets. Frankenstein spins the first ring, awarding a prize that ends the bonus. However, if the pocket is electric, the next ring is spun indefinitely until a prize is won. The prizes become more valuable for each ring, and you can also win mini, minor, and major jackpots from this feature.

The Halloween Ghosts Mini Game

When you land a Mummy symbol anywhere in view, it moves to the mummy panel, and this may trigger the Halloween Ghosts Mini Game. The pumpkin door will then open as you enter the mini game, which plays out on a 3x3 grid. You start with 1 pumpkin and 2 ghosts, with 3 respins in your counter. Only ghosts, pumpkins, mummy x symbols, blanks, and mini, major, or grand jackpot symbols will land during the bonus.

The mummy x symbols increase the bet multiplier of the positions they appear on by +1, before being removed. Ghosts that land are boosted by the position multiplier before being collected by the pumpkin collector symbol. The pumpkin collectors appear only on reel 2, collecting the values from symbols landing on reels 1 and 3. The respins counter resets to 3 for each ghost, coin, or pumpkin symbol you land, and the feature ends when you run out of respins.

Halloween Wins 3 Free Spins

Landing 3 bonus symbols on the same base game spin triggers the Free Spins bonus, awarding 10 free spins. Before each free spin, a random multiplier is announced, and it will be applied to any wins from that spin. You win +5 additional free spins each time you land 3 bonus symbols in view on the same free spin. If you win less than 10x your stake from the bonus round, you get +4 additional free spins after the final free spin. This continues until you’ve won at least 10x your stake.

Theme & Graphics

Halloween Wins 3 takes you into a gothic tomb with a mummy resting in its sarcophagus at the center of the chamber. The room is lit by a fireplace, jack-o'-lanterns, and candles, but you only catch a brief glimpse of this whole scene before the reels block most of it. There is an eerie silence until you hit the spin button, which triggers a spooky melody while the reels spin. On the reels, you’ll find well-known horror creatures like a classic ghost, Dracula, Frankenstein, and what looks like Thing (the hand from The Addams Family).

Pros and Cons of Halloween Wins 3

Our Verdict

Halloween Wins 3 squeezes so many well-known spooky elements into the same cramped, cobweb-draped chamber that it almost becomes involuntarily comical. Imagine being stuck in this tomb with not only ghosts haunting you, but also a cursed mummy, Count Dracula, and none other than the Frankenstein monster himself. To top it all off, you’ll also feel the fingertips of the Addams Family’s beloved Thing crawling all over you.

However, I do like the sense of progression you get with each new installment. In the first game, you started outside the haunted mansion, while the second game took you inside the grand foyer. In Halloween Wins 3, you’re taken into the innermost secret chamber, with each game unleashing new monsters. It makes you wonder what we’ll be up against next year, perhaps a werewolf or zombie, as there are still plenty to choose from.

Most of the features are carried over from Halloween Wins 2, so there isn’t all that much new to see in the Halloween Wins 3 slot in that regard. It’s a feature-rich game, though, so there is more than enough to sink your fangs into. You got the mummy hold & win bonus with jackpots and other special symbols, Frankenstein’s triple electric wheel, as well as the free spins round with a random multiplier per spin. And let’s not forget full-reel wild respins with extra wilds and wild wins with random multipliers.

I also like the replay feature, allowing you to relive your best moments via the button below the reels. I’m not sure if the silence between spins works as intended, though, as a game like this would’ve been better served with the spooky soundtrack constantly playing. The symbols are also a bit too static for my taste, so don’t expect any jack-in-the-box jump scares in this game. Overall, an okay follow-up in the series, boasting a max win of 4,081x your stake, the highest thus far.
