What’s that coming over the hill? Is it another clone? It may be a spooky Halloween themed online slot, but as it’s a Megaways and developed by Iron Dog Studio, there’s a good chance we’ve seen all this many times before. As for now, we know it’s titled the Halloween Horrors Megaways slot; it comes with up to 117,649 ways to way, has an RTP of 96.15% and a maximum win of 25,000x bet.
As soon as the game loads up, I think you’ll be as disappointed as I was. It may have a different look to it, but what’s under the hood at first glance seems practically the same as many other slots created by this provider previously. We’ve got cascading reels featuring throughout, a special wild symbol with a multiplier attached, and a free spins feature that has locked reels and a win multiplier that increases each time you hit a winning combo. Some players may also be able to utilise the bonus buy function if it’s active in their respective jurisdictions.
Trick or treat, penny or sweet? At today’s rates, a penny must be equivalent to a least few quid, so I think I’ll take that. Whilst you make up your mind on your reward, why not give our free Halloween Horrors Megaways slot demo a few spins, it’s to take for a test run below.

Halloween Horrors Megaways Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
I’ve never really been a fan of Halloween, and growing up in the UK, it was popular but not anywhere near as much as it is now. I think that’s down to the internet, and the influence our friends across the pond in the USA have had on the younger generation. Whatever the reason (answers on a postcode), the Halloween theme has spilled over into online slots, and we have a couple of games here catalogued within that niche, namely BGaming’s Halloween Bonanza and Inspired Gaming’s Book of Halloween. Oh, of course, there had to be a “book of” slot, didn’t there? No festival, time of year or object is immune to that genre of game. Let’s crack on anyway and see what the Halloween Horrors Megaways slot can pay.
Leading the way at the top of the paytable as the highest paying symbol is the Pumpkin Man, worth 50x bet for a six of a kind win. He’s followed by the Mummy, who comes in at 15x bet, with the Witch next valued at 10x bet for a winning connection of six. Then we have the Werewolf and Frankenstein, the remainder of the premium paying symbols sharing equal returns of 4x for a line of six. There are five low paying symbols represented by the Royals. These are the Ace and King, both worth 2x bet for all six on a winning line, with the Queen paying 1.2x, and finally, the Jack and Ten, both awarding 1.2x for a six of a kind hit.
Thankfully, you won’t be in for a fright when choosing your stake on Iron Dog’s Halloween Horrors Megaways slot, as there is an abundance of options to pick from between the minimum/maximum limits of €0.20 and €20. I was particularly impressed to see so much choice from €5 downwards, as some online slots have a huge gap from €2 to €5, but that’s not the case here.
Halloween Horrors Megaways Slot Base Game
We have a typical Megaways format on the Halloween Horrors Megaways slot, with all gameplay set across a 6×7 reel matrix, allowing for up to 117,649 ways to win roll in on any spin. Matching at least three symbols (only two required for Pumpkin Man) on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel first will award a win. Furthermore, it will cause the winning symbols to be removed from the reels, and new ones will cascade from above, giving you extra chances to win from just one paid spin.
Wild Symbols
There are two wild symbols that appear in the game that can only land on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The first is the Standard Wild, which will substitute for all other regular symbols. The second is the x2 Wild, which multiplies all wins it is a part of by x2. If multiple x2 wilds land, they will multiply each other, with a maximum value of x8 achievable.
Halloween Horrors Megaways Slot Bonus Features
Unlike traditional Megaways slots, the free spins are triggered in Halloween Horror Megaways when four consecutive reel cascades occur in one series of spins. This will award 8 free spins to start the bone round, with each additional cascade that occurs adding 2 extra spins to your starting total up to a maximum of 14.
Free Spins Feature
The bonus will begin with a win multiplier of x1 in play. Each time a winning cascade hits, the multiplier will increment by an additional +1. Also, if any reels show 7 symbols, they will become locked and be guaranteed to show 7 symbols on every remaining spin. Furthermore, each time a reel locks, 1 extra free spin is awarded. Players may earn more extra spins by completing 4 consecutive cascades in the bonus round. This will award 4 extra spins, with each tumble after that adding 2 more spins up to a maximum of 14.
Bonus Buy
Players can instantly access the bonus round with 6, 8 or 10 free spins and either one or no reels locked. Prices to buy in range from 30x up to 130x
Pros
- The maximum win of 25,000x would certainly be a great prize to win.
Cons
- This has all been seen dozens of times before.
Halloween Horrors Megaways Slot Final Thoughts
I did have a small glimmer of hope that the Halloween Horrors Megaways slot was in some way going to surprise me, but unfortunately, it was pretty much like every other Branded Megaways game Iron Dog made. I'll certainly be giving this one a wide berth, and hopefully, this is the last of these clones, as, to be honest, they will be giving me night horrors before too long.
