Halloween is nearly with us and perhaps you need to pay homage to the UK and Ireland. Their authors have created some of the greatest horror characters of all-time. Now they are featured in slot games and perfect to play at this time of the year.
Why not spend October playing some scary slots based on Frankenstein (and his monster), Dracula and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. All are entertaining to play and hopefully you can also get some good wins at your favorite casino. We prepared a list of the top 3 online slots that are now available at some of the top UK slot sites, according to BritishGambler.
The Curse of Frankenstein
It was British writer Mary Shelley who first brought Frankenstein to life. However, it took America’s Universal Studios to make the classic movies in the 1930s. Two decades later, England’s Hammer Film Productions made their own versions with Peter Cushing as Baron Frankenstein with Christopher Lee as the monster.
This slot game from Barcrest is based on the classic horror movie that spawned several sequels just as the original Universal Pictures movies had. To get you in the mood for some horror, the backdrop of this slot shows some laboratory equipment and of course it’s blood red.
Memories will flood back as the slot includes images of both Cushing and Lee. There’s also some of the movie’s original soundtrack featured and this adds to the enjoyment of this slot. Just wait until you hear the screams of a woman, that’ll put you in a Halloween mood.
If at least three of the Hammer Films logo appear at the end of a spin, then that’s great news. You receive ten free spins and any wins you get are doubled. More free spins can also be triggered so it’ll do your online casino account the power of good.
Ooh Aah Dracula
Horror movies don’t have to scare the living daylights out of you. For every ‘Saw’ (and there’s a fair few of those), there’s a ‘Young Frankenstein’ or ‘Scary Movie.’ It’s the same with slot games and that’s definitely seen in the Barcrest game ‘Ooh Aah Dracula.’
Originally written by Irish author Bram Stoker, the character of Count Dracula has been massively popular. Not bad for someone who has died more times than an unsuccessful stand up comedian.
This slot has a cartoonish look to it and can provide you with some laughs and hopefully some loot. Dracula himself looks like a cross (not a word to use around a vampire) between The Penguin and The Mole Man. He’s wearing a natty pair of shades because of course he’s not a great fan of the sun.
We see Dracula’s castle and a set of symbols that include a female vampire and a rabbit, yes a rabbit. Not sure why but it’s there!
This entertaining slot has several bonus features. That’s always the sign of a popular slot. One sees players able to buy five spins but at a higher than usual price, either 20x or 30x. This can see the RTP increase and get you into either the Graveyard Bonus or the Super version of that feature. That gives you the chance to choose a grave that contains a cash bonus. Just make sure you stick to your budget.
The heart symbol (complete with stake through it) can help trigger free spins. The Heart Attack Bonus awards players 15 free spins and additional wilds, depending on how many hearts trigger the bonus.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Scotland’s Robert Louis Stevenson didn’t spend all his time on Treasure Island. He was also the author of ‘The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde’ which has been a success in many genres.
1×2 Gaming are responsible for the slot version and again it has a cartoonish look to it. It’s set in Victorian London and of course the weather forecast is rather foggy. When it comes to symbols we have both Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde. There’s also a hat that belongs to a policeman, some potions (that’s the wild) that could do anything but cure you, a quill as well as a cigar.
The wild symbol is only seen on the top row. However, it has the ability to expand downwards. It transforms into Mr.Hyde when it covers all the positions on that reel boosting your chances of success. See he’s not all bad.
There’s also the Hyde potion symbol which is the scatter symbol in this online casino slot. You can be awarded as many as 50 free spins if five of them make an appearance.
Given the subject matter it’s no surprise there are two forms of free spins. Look out for the Police Badge as this can double in size and become a wild symbol. The Dr. Jekyll’s potion free spins round is another in which symbols expand downwards but this time they edge one reel to the left. If your luck is in, then this can produce several wins particularly if there’s more than one wild.
