About Halloween Jack slot

NetEnt has really made an effort to weave together a solid background story for Halloween Jack. Once upon a time, apparently, there was a girl who discovered a mysterious box. When she opened it, she became obsessed, and when she tried to get rid of the box, Evil appeared instead in all sorts of guises. This is the world you get to enter when you open Halloween Jack. The connection to Pandora and her box is clear, but it's nothing like NetEnt specifically mentioned.

If we mention Jack and NetEnt in the same sentence, what comes to mind then? Jack and the Beanstalk , obviously. Halloween Jack is basically the same game as the classic with Jack and the Beanstalk. If you like that game, the new version can also be an option, provided you have nerves for the scary theme that is. If instead you don't play Jack and the Beanstalk because of the (too) cheeky theme, Halloween Jack can be a perfect introduction to the cool features.

What does Halloween Jack look like? He's a pumpkin-faced Scarecrow and he probably looks a little creepy all the time. Fortunately (?) he only appears in the free spins round. The green demons that move around the screen are pretty terrifying too. A tip is not to pull the volume up so high. Right as it is, you will hear a howl from a demon at the highest volume.

You play Halloween Jack the same way as most other NetEnt games. You choose the coin value and bet level to then spin the reels. Three or more symbols of the same kind on one of the 20 paylines will pay out.

Stakes and winnings

It costs anywhere between 2 – 1000$ to play a spin on Halloween Jack. This makes the game suitable for most people. Auto spin and Quick Spin are of course included as options. However, if you want to get the most out of the gaming experience, we recommend that you play individual spins at a reasonable pace.

Jack and the Beanstalk is known to be one of NetEnt's most "risky” castles. Since Halloween Jack works the same way, this game is also a highly volatile slot. Basically, the game gives quite frequent winnings (over 33% in hit percentage), but it is not often the winnings become something to count on. I freespins - the round, however, you may be lucky enough to win several hundred thousand coins. 600,000 coins will be the reward for full screen wilds.

Halloween Jack The RTP is 96.28% . This is exactly the same figure that the ”original” can boast of. For a highly volatile slot, this is not a bad figure, but NetEnt can do better.

Symbols

With horror as a theme, there are of course a lot of symbols that have to do with the more evil. The possessed girl acts as the symbol that gives the best pay. A zombie horse, a bat, a Raven and a horseshoe are the other premium symbols. To these, NetEnt has added five playing card symbols with lower values.

The wild symbol is in the form of a glowing pumpkin, a so-called Jack o'lantern. The scatter symbol instead represents the magic box.

Game features

Most of the Halloween Jack$etches the $ ing freespins bonus. This is where you get the most action, the most nerve-wracking and the most clinking at the checkout. However, the base game is not chemically free of tension. Here you have the walking wilds feature to take advantage of.

The Walking Wilds

Walking Wilds is a feature introduced in Jack and the Beanstalk. Since its release in 2011, the feature has subsequently been copied by basically all developers. Wild Toro from ELK Studios is one of the most famous castles with such a feature. Thunderkicks Wild heist is another title with the feature.

The feature means that each wild "wanders" across the screen on the line it lands. Each step to the left is also accompanied by a free re-spin. Thus, you automatically get more winning chances every time a wild appears.

Halloween Jack freespins

Three scatters are the entry ticket to one of the potentially most lucrative bonus rounds of all categories. These three symbols give you 10 free spins.

The free rounds are firstly played with a multiplier of 3x on just about every win. However, that's not all. You also have the opportunity to get more valuable walking wilds by collecting lanterns. Just the names of these sharpened jokers can make anyone tremble!

• With three lanterns, the next joker will be two symbols high (stacked Hell Hound Wild)
• With three extra lanterns, the next joker will be three symbols high (Stacked Jack-o’-lantern Wild)
• With three additional lanterns, the next joker becomes an expanding wild (Expanding death Reaper Wild)

The greatest possible effect of the free spins round is achieved by reactivating the free spins. Three extra scatters give five additional spins that follow on the ten you already have in play.

Summary

For the graphics with all the animations as well as the sound we have to give the highest marks. The game is literally out of class. The entertainment value is also high , although the game can feel a bit boring if the slightly larger winnings refuse to come.

The game mechanics are proven and the fact that millions of players have played the predecessor with great pleasure is proof that it is clearly walkable. However, it's a bit of a shame that NetEnt hasn't added a single new special feature. Why make a clone, why not screw on at least some small parameter?
