Matt Broughton turns the spotlight onto some of the shiniest games to be found online.
HALLOWEEN Microgaming
Following the signing of a licensing agreement announced in July,
Microgaming has developed an online slot based on the 1978 American independent slasher film. The movie was directed and scored by John Carpenter, co-written with producer Debra Hill, and starred Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis in her film debut. It centres on the character Michael Myers, who on Halloween night in 1963 at the age of six, murdered his sister. 15 years later, he returns to the fictional midwestern town of Haddonfield, Illinois, to continue his killing spree. Microgaming’s Halloween online slot is a 50-line game with the reel set representing Michael’s dark and derelict house. Much like the film, Michael persistently stalks the game; players may see him lurking in the window or
behind the clothesline. The game also features iconic sound bites from the movie, along with the chilling soundtrack. Feature rich, the slot introduces Wandering Reels, a group of three
reels that spin together. The Wandering Reels contain Jumbo Blocks, which are large 3x4 high symbols that span three reels. The Wandering Reels can stop in one of three positions at random in the base game, which determines the reels and lines played, adding significantly to the sense of anticipation of the game. The feature allows for big wins, especially when it sticks to the leftmost position on the reels.
Adding suspense to the game, the Trick or Treat Wheel Bonus is
triggered by three bonus symbols in the base game, and offers players the opportunity to multiply their stake with cash prizes, until they enter either the Boogeyman Bonus or Free Spins. The Boogeyman Bonus is a pick bonus that takes place inside Michael Myers’ house. With the bonus’ atmosphere representing the eerie nature of the film, players must escape Michael, as finding him ends the bonus round. Leaves reveal cash prizes which are combined with a multiplier that increases every time the player finds a cash prize, moving them closer to escaping the house. Players may find an immunity weapon, which can be used to prolong the bonus round if Michael is picked.
HAUNTED HOUSE Magnet Gaming
Players have been warned to brace themselves before entering the
scary world of Magnet Gaming’s Haunted House slot. The innovative slot provider’s title is an eerie three-reel slot featuring two progressive jackpots and four terrifying bonus games. With its spooky, cutting-edge sounds and graphics, it rewards the souls
who are brave enough to share the halls with the white ghost lady and her skeleton dog. Thomas Nielsen, Head of Game Licensing at Magnet Gaming, said: “It’s important for us to offer the newest and freshest slots on the market -
