Haunted House Slot – Free Demo

Five lines, three reels and a bulb of Garlic

Playtech's Haunted House is a slot which appears modest at first. The test session ran 320 rounds at 1.00 each, starting from a balance of 1,000.00. But it carries an 1,800x max win. That figure is a multiple of the line bet, so with 0.20 on each of the 5 lines it comes to 360.00 on a 1.00 stake. There are no additional extras such as free spins or special symbols keeping players amused while chasing the big one, so let's have a look. Every pay comes from line wins, and wins on different lines are added together.

On 3 reels with 5 paylines, Haunted House is played. All 5 lines can be played, or fewer, down to a single line on its own.

The paytable is composed up of 6 standard pay symbols. Garlic is the only one that pays for fewer than 3 on a line, returning 5x the line bet for 1 and 25x for 2. Three of a kind of Candles, Chalices, Daggers, Coffins and Crucifixes are valued from 50x to 300x the line wager. In order, 3 Candles pay 50x, 3 Chalices 75x, 3 Daggers 100x, 3 Coffins 200x and 3 Crucifixes 300x the line bet. 3 Garlic are valued from 1,000 to 1,800 times the line wager. In the session, 3 Chalices paid 15.00 four times, in rounds 95, 137, 193 and 246.

Why line 5 outranks line 1 here

The max win is by far the chief attraction. No 3 Garlic combination landed in the 320 rounds played. But players receive no free spins, wilds, scatters or bonus game. In round 6, 3 Candles on line 4 paid 10.00 and lifted the balance to 1,004.00.

Garlic symbols are the key to the game's most profitable elements. A single Garlic on line 1 returned 1.00 in round 137, alongside 3 Chalices on line 5, for the session's biggest win of 16.00. 3 on a line return more the higher the line, up to 1,800x on line 5. The steps below that are 1,000x on line 1, 1,200x on line 2, 1,400x on line 3 and 1,600x on line 4.

Our Minty Verdict: Chalices carried my session, four of them at 15.00 a hit, while the Garlic line that pays 360 times a 1.00 stake on line 5 stayed away for all 320 rounds, and 86.2% came back.

A 956.00 close after a peak of 1,008.00

You'd have little idea such a plain tiny game was able of such a return if somebody didn't inform you about the Garlic reward contained here. Players drawn to the theme can also look at Halloween Fortune from Playtech, or at the Haunted House from WMG, a different game with the same title.

Another point is the monotonous character of Haunted House, and it does become tedious after a period. Across the session, 320.00 was wagered and 276.00 won back, a return of 86.2% that closed the balance at 956.00. Still, the game can pay off. The balance peaked at 1,008.00 along the way. Wins of up to 1,800 times the line wager are achievable. Winning rounds numbered 95 of 320, and the longest losing streak ran to 19 rounds.
