Trick or Spin Slots
It doesn’t take much to find a Halloween themed slot in the vast world of iGaming. Almost every developer – large and small alike – brings out a slot or two to celebrate the beginning of the festive season every year, without fail. So, it doesn’t come as a surprise that most developers nowadays find it rather difficult to cook up novel Halloween slots every year.
Booming Games, however, don’t seem to be plagued by the problem of the plenty, as they released Trick or Spin, a wonderfully novel Halloween slot in 2015. On the backdrop of formulaic, conventional and predictable Halloween slots developed by competitors like Count Spectacular, Trick or Spin comes as a breath of fresh air, albeit with its due share of scares.
So, get your holiday groove on point and spin these mockingly scary reels all you want. Let the spirit of trick-or-treating roll over, in a new age, in a new, fun and entertaining way!
Of (Mock) Horror and Scary Tales…
Halloween is all about letting your inner fears out and confronting them so that you can be done with them for good. Children undoubtedly have the most fun of it all, but it doesn’t mean that grown-ups need to just sit back and watch in adoration. It’s always a better idea to actually participate.
While we wouldn’t certainly expect you to go around the neighbourhood asking for tricks or treats, we would love to coax you into playing some naughty and sweet slots to celebrate the occasion.
That’s why, Trick or Spin is more likely to be the name that pops up here at Vegas Slots Online when the discussions revolve around Halloween slot. It knows how to tap into the indomitable spirit of mock horror that the festival stands for, and it makes the most of it by providing stunning backdrop visuals, amazingly designed (adorably) scary symbols and a funnily terrifying soundtrack.
Booming Games slots are usually known for their crisp design that is always to the point and clutter-free. This slot perfectly fits that profile, meaning that playing Trick or Spin is never going to be a harrowing experience. Also, like most BG slots, you have the option of using bitcoins for wagers.
Symbols of Puny Horror
It must be mentioned at the outset that as a sort of convention that has now become a tacit rule, developers keep the payouts of Halloween slots at the lower end of the spectrum, probably to ensure that the chief motivation behind playing the slots is entertainment, and not the money. Much the reason why, all Halloween free slot machines, including this one, feature demo gameplay.
Trick or Spin features 5 standard reels that boast of 3 spinning rows each. Accompanying these spinning monsters are 15 paylines that you can activate as per you wish and/or your instincts. Be sure though, this is the only way you can actually put some sort of skill quotient in the whole deal.
Regular symbols used in Trick or Spin are unmistakeably Halloween-esque, and they add a much-needed zing to the whole theme of horror and fear. However, they do not necessarily pay out well, and that well could dampen the spirits of those who want the best of both worlds – entertainment as well as profits!
Knocking Your Fears off
There is no better way of knocking your fears off than by confronting them. The special symbols of this slot perhaps try to convey this very message.
There is just one wild symbol here, and quite aptly, an ominous black cat with a deadpan face gets to adorn it with its presence. But things are not too groggy with this cat – it pays out a good deal of coins, up to 300 of them, for various combinations. Also, it has the usual wild powers of substituting for all regular symbols.
The scatter symbol used here is the very identity of Halloween – the ubiquitous Jack-o’-lantern. It triggers a bounty of free spins if and whenever it appears for at least three times, anywhere in view.
There is no bonus round to be had here, while the split-gamble feature of the slot is reported to be unavailable in Europe, but available in Asia.
Just the Trick
All the frill aside, Trick or Spin is a solid Halloween slot that can get you in the right mood for the festive season in no time. It is good to look at and easy to play.
The fact that it pays out mediocrely might go against its reputation, but just for being so faithful to the theme, we have to recommend it to our readers – at least for a spin or two!
