Halloween Slots You Might Play 

Halloween is a time to let your inner ghoul out to play, when creepy and spooky things are usually met with a trick or a treat. But all things ghostly don’t need to be celebrated only on All Hallow’s Eve. Much like popular themes throughout the year, such as Christmas or Easter, many online gaming sites offer specific slots centred around holidays or festive seasons.

Pokerstars is no different. The site offers over 2,400 slots from 35 game developers, all ranging from small to very well-known in the industry. This means you will not be short of options when it comes to picking a preferred slot game. For now, though, let’s focus on the not-so-scary Halloween slots available to players.

Big Bass Halloween

The well-known Big Bass slot game by Pragmatic Play, along with Reel Kingdom, has been re-skinned for Halloween enthusiasts and they came out with Big Bass Halloween in October 2023.

In this slot, there’s not a friendly fisherman face to be found. Instead, think of a menacing guy with a pointy hook, crows standing over creepy-looking bait, and fish covered in blood. The colours are still vibrant, however, and they track the original Big Bass slot game.

The RTP is between 96.06 and 94/09%, depending on whether players bet between £0.10 and £240 a spin, or whether they buy the free spins feature (which is 100x the stake). Another option is the ante bet, where players can increase their wager by 50% for an opportunity to land scatters. Another feature of this slot is the Wilds, and the maximum win is 2,100 x the stake. Big Bass Halloween is a 3-row, 5-reel game with 10 pay lines and a medium-high volatility.

Big Bass Halloween 2

A little bit more refined and a slight upgrade to the first one, Big Bass Halloween 2 came out a year after the original. The mechanics of the game may be slightly more complex, and the setting this time around is a water reservoir that’s poisoned, where zombies abound. The friendly fisherman is replaced with a zombified psycho who wields a chainsaw.

The soundtrack is dramatic but manages to retain the humorous element Big Bass slots are known for, and the symbols are even more detailed, with stitchwork and mosquitoes with bloody eyes that were missing in the prequel.

The minimum and maximum bets remain the same Big Bass Halloween and there is still a bonus buy option; however, the ante bet is missing from this slot game. There are still Wilds and symbols like trucks and chainsaws that pay anywhere between 0.50 x and 200 x a player’s bet.

Big Bass Halloween 2 has the same layout as the previous version, but it is a high variance game and the maximum win is 5000x the stake- more than double of Big Bass Halloween. The RTP ranges are 96.71%, 95.75% and 94.60%, which is similar to its predecessor. Another new feature is three new grid modifiers that are represented by dynamite, hooks, and chainsaws, and they are triggered randomly.

Witches Cash Collect

Colourful potions and bewitching character symbols are what make this Playtech slot intriguing to look at. Three witches are the backdrop of the five-reels and 30-paylines slot, as well as potions, a skull lit up from within and a crow. There is also a dilapidated house, gravestones, and shadowy trees that lend some extra spook to the game, not to mention the black cat that acts as a Wild.

The maximum and minimum bets are £500 and £0.10, and Witches Cash Collect has an RTP of 95.67% and is considered a game of medium volatility. Apart from Wilds, there is a Free Spins bonus feature and four jackpots of increasing value that can be won, starting at 20x, 50x, 200x, and 500x a player’s stake.

Spooky Carnival

Red Tiger put its hat in the ring in 2023 as well, with a Halloween-themed slot that is more pleasant to look at rather than spooky. With blue overtones and a Jack-O-Lantern, as well as toffee apples and green cauldrons, the use of these primary colours evokes merriment more than murder. The backdrop is a misty fairground and the 3-row 5-reels grid is placed in a carnival wagon.

The Spooky Coin Collection feature allows players to turn a couple of symbols wild regularly, and this happens often during the bonus round. Players also get free spins over the 10 paylines that are triggered with Scatters. Spooky Carnival is a medium variance game, with minimum and maximum bets ranging from £0.1 to £60. The RTP is 95.68% but it can be customized according to the bet. The maximum win is 1,530 x the bet.

Reel Holidays

A lesser-known company called Jade Rabbit created a slot game for the spooky season called Reel Holidays, and it was released in November 2024. A Fester-looking Santa, a rabbit from Alice in Wonderland and a Jack-O-Lantern are the vibes in this 5-row 3-reel slot game with 20 paylines. The background is a magical forest with vibrant flowers and large mushrooms. As may be evident, this is not a one-themed slot.

There are Free spins (activated by Scatters), Mystery Symbols, and Random Wilds, which pay up to 50x the stake. There are also extra bunny and pumpkin Wilds, which, when triggered, turn reels into Wilds as well. Bets range from £0.20 to £100, and it has an RTP of 96.01%. This slot game does not have a bonus buy feature, and the maximum cash jackpot that can be won is £10,000.

Infective Wild

Wilds are the focus of this Pragmatic Play slot game, as a Jack-O-Lantern host introduces players to a foggy graveyard filled with menacing trees and a haunted house. Ghostly overtones play as the reels turn, filled with eerie-looking cauldrons, crows, and cats.

There are 5 rows and reels and 40 paylines, with the lowest bet being £0.4 and the highest £240. The pumpkin icon is the Wild and it will replace any other symbol except a Scatter. The Infective Wilds, active on reels 1, 2.3, and 4, transform any cat or raven symbol into a Wild.

If that infected Wild touches the same type of symbol, it then transforms that symbol as well, hence the name Infective Wild. Scatter symbols trigger Free Spins and there is a bonus buy, charged at 100x the stake; however, this feature may not be available in certain areas in the UK. This slot is considered high volatility, with a 5,000 maximum win and an RTP of 96.09%, although the range varies.
