Spooky Spells Review

As Helloween approaches, more developers appear to complement their portfolios with seasonal slots, and Spooky Spells is a new Greentube's release just in time for October's fests. Deeply inspired by witches, the slot offers players to dive into a fantasy universe and enjoy loads of magical features. Let's take a peek behind the curtain and figure out what's what.

Spooky Spells - Slot Outlook

As alluded to earlier, the slot is based around witches and magic, thus don't expect it to boast any originality. Spooky Spells comes with a traditional Helloween theme. The reels are set in a backdrop of a mysterious house at dusk, surrounded by deterrent trees. The enigmatic witchy soundtrack adds a final touch to the scenery, capturing the essential cryptic vibes.

Playable on any device, players are offered to place wagers from 0.25$ to 50$ per spin. The actions take place across a 5x3 layout with the Allpay system, producing 243 ways to play.

The symbol collection includes classic icons found in many same-styled slots. The pay symbols start at the lower end with A-10 royals. They are followed by 5 premiums, including in ascending order skulls and candles, potion flasks, hourglasses, brooms, and a gorgeous witch, who's a top star here. Landing 5 instances of low-paying symbols on a line will award 2x of the bet, while premiums are worth from 3 to 8 times the stake.

Spooky Spells - Bonus Features

Spooky Spells features a lot of exciting extras, which work perfectly in pairs, resulting in fast-paced fun-filled gameplay.

Players will be offered to choose one of the three cauldrons to reveal a prize. Possible prizes may include multipliers of up to 10x of the bet, Mini, Minor, or Major Jackpots, paying 20x, 30x, and 50x the stake respectively, or the Free Spins feature.

Free Spins can also be triggered in a more traditional way by landing 3 spellbook Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5. No matter how you trigger the feature, you'll be awarded 10 spins. During the bonus game, a 2x multiplier comes into play to boost the potential. Thus, all wins scored during the free round will be multiplied by 2x.

The Hold and Spin feature, which is called Spooky Spells Jackpots, plays a central role in the gameplay. Whenever 6 or more bats appear anywhere on the grid, it becomes activated, and players then proceed to a new grid, where only bat symbols are available to land. All the triggering bonus symbols will be locked in place for the duration of the bonus, and players will be awarded 3 Respins to start.

Any new bat landing will also get sticky and reset the number of Respins back to 3.

Last but not least is a classic Gamble feature, allowing players to risk their winnings for a chance to double the income.

Spooky Spells - Slot Verdict

While the first impression was something like 'Oh, another slot about witches, okay', a couple of minutes of gameplay proved that Spooky Spells has all chances of becoming Greentube's hit slot. Let's lay everything out in order.

Spooky Spells comes with eye-catching and lovely visuals, however, it definitely lacks originality. We've seen hundreds of witches-inspired games over the years, and this one surely fails to stick out from the crowd.

Anyway, if that's not crucial for you, all the features will undoubtedly make it appeal to you. During our test stacked cauldrons and the Spooky Spells Jackpots appeared to show up pretty often, approximately once in every 20 spins. Oddly enough, cauldrons seem to be fairly lucrative and generous on jackpots, while wins on the Hold and Spin feature rarely deliver something bigger than 50 times the stake. Despite not the biggest wins, it certainly managed to deliver tons of fun.

All said and done, thanks to a moderate volatility level and nice hit rate, Spooky Spells appears to be a decent alternative to other seasonal slots. It won't appeal to brutal casino hounds, though, mainstream masses will love it for sure.
