Spinomenal has come out with a new Halloween slot aptly titled “1 Reel Halloween“. It takes the Progressive Symbol Wins system that was first seen in “1 Reel Egypt” and brings it to the spooky environment of Halloween. However, the theme is a bit threadbare. Players will only be presented with a grey brick wall as the game’s background and a background track that fits the theme.
The first thing that players will notice is the unique setup that the game has, unlike ordinary slot games. Spinomenal presents the game with just one reel. This is very different from the average slot game which comes with a standard 5×3 grid. The $5,000 max cash jackpot should be enough to encourage players to try the game for at least a few spins.
Betting for this game is a bit disappointing. Players will only be able to wager from $0.01 up to $10. That range is very limited best suited for those who have a limited bankroll. Mid-stakes and high stakes players will likely give this game a pass.
The real heart of the game is the different symbols. There are only five of them and they present players with different chances. The three regular ones are candies, a ghost and a cauldron. Two specials are available and they are a pumpkin, which acts as the Wild, while the Reset Icon is there to do something a bit special.
Special Features
The star of the show is the game’s use of the Progressive Symbol feature. There is a meter that is right beside the reel. When symbols show up on the reel, the meter adds one more to it. Each symbol is stored and players have a choice. They can collect the symbols at any time. This is important since if the Reset icon appears, the symbols collected are removed from the meter, eliminating all wins.
If one of the meters fills up, players get an instant win and that meter is reset. Players who push their luck can fill up all three meters and get the big jackpot. The Wild counts as adding to all three meters, which is why players want it to show up.
Overall, 1 Reel Halloween is a unique experience and should be a spooky slot treat for the Halloween holiday. Go ahead and give this slot a few spins when it arrives at your online casino.
