Top 5 Halloween slots for 2022

Spooky Season is back and, for South African online casino fans and online casino game players, a list of the top 5 Halloween slots from the team right here at Online South African Casinos.

Notice that we did not call our list Halloween ‘themed’. There is a very good reason for this, and it absolutely has to do with recommending the best online casino games that bring us the spirit of Halloween and not just a bunch of pumpkins and black cats stuck on a Joker game or used to spruce up an otherwise stock average 3-reel fruit machine.

For us, the OSAC team, Halloween is all about the creepy factor, the ghoulish and the grim, the hint of horror and scares – this is not a coffee chain peddling pumpkin spice flavour swill, it’s about thrills and chills!

To be clear: we are NOT dissing any online slots game at all! We love classic fruit machines. We absolutely adore playing seasonal-themed games. But, for the season where the spirits are coming to visit, we want something a bit more spine chilling not just a decorative makeover. We have listed them in order of the thrills we got from each game with the final one, Helloween, being an absolute winner for the team!

All these online slots games are playable at selected online casinos that cater to South African online players so check your favourite gambling destination to see if they have any of our spookiest games in their portfolio.

Frankenslot’s Monster – Betsoft

Frankenslot’s Monster from Betsoft is a very simple online slot but it has a certain charm that will have players visiting the mad doctor’s lab regularly to experience the horror – and the quirky fun – of this 5×3 slot game.

Great graphics, an upbeat soundtrack, and the antics of the insane scientist make for a fun playing experience that is only heightened by the Wilds and Scatters that unlock Free Spins and a little bonus mini game that you play to animate the monster and face his wrath.

A popular character for the Halloween festivities brought to life in a great online slot.

Dracula’s Castle – Wazdan

Dracula’s Castle from Wazdan features one of the most famous horror characters in history – and a Halloween favourite – Count Dracula. This 5×5 slot has simple gameplay but Wazdan have certainly put in the effort in terms of creating a slot that epitomises the Halloween spirit.

From the creepy graphics to the eye-catching animations to the simply superb and ominous music effects in the background, Dracula’s Castle is a Halloween hit. Filled with the Count’s undead brides, bats, gloomy castles, and gravestones, Dracula’s Castle has immense visual appeal and, while a little short on bonus games, does offer Expanding Wilds, Multipliers, and a gamble feature to boost your winnings.

Dracula’s Castle also features the unique mechanics that make Wazdan so popular like the ability to adjust your volatility.

Spin and Spell – BGaming

Full of all the black cats, witches, bats, potions, and carved pumpkins any Halloween needs, Spin and Spell from BGaming is a quintessential Halloween slot that has a fun and quirky vibe.

The 5×3 game, with the conniving Count Vampiraus as the main villain, offers some fun features including a great soundtrack, wilds, scatters, free spins, and a bonus pick and win game (that is actually a bit more challenging than we realised at first).

Name: Spin and Spell

Provider: BGaming

Paylines: 20

Zombies At The Door – Peter & Sons

A fantastic online and mobile slots game from an indie studio that is doing great things, Zombies At The Door is a Peter & Sons showcase for what can be achieved with a little out-the-box thinking.

Stylistically, Zombies At The Door is awesome! The artwork is phenomenal, the little touches like the zombie lurking behind the barricaded background adds an amazing sense of foreboding, the soundtrack is ominous, and even the characters seem to have a life of their own – the surly teen, the inept cop, the crotchety farmer – that makes the game amazing.

Visuals and sound aside, Zombies At The Door also has great features like free spins, super free spins, extended reels, and a pretty impressive max win potential of 9,500x.

Name: Zombies At The Door

Provider: Peter & Sons

Reels: 5

Paylines: 20 in base game, 40 in Free Spins, and 60 in Super free Spins

RTP: 96.50%

Helloween – Play’n GO

By far our favourite online Halloween slot for 2022 is the incredible Helloween from Play’n GO. Apart from having a spot-on Halloween theme, more features than a trick or treater’s bowlful of candy, and some pretty cool graphics, what sets Helloween apart is that it’s based on a relatively little-known German Metal band from the 80s/90s called – Helloween.

Fans of the genre will know the music and will recognise its influence on metal bands that followed but our thrill came from seeing snippets of the band during the gameplay – and hearing some of their iconic tracks while we played! Wicked!

Helloween from Play’n GO is an impressive online and mobile slot game not just because of the great music, but because of the attention to detail that makes this an unmissable Halloween slot. The 5×3 slot is packed with monsters and creepy ambience and a plethora of pumpkin heads that create a perfect mash up of fantasy, Halloween, horror and, of course, Helloween.

Sit back, wait to hit the features (there are SEVEN different bonus features triggered by landing 3 or more key scatters), rock out to some awesome German Metal, and experience the thrills of the creepy season!

Name: Helloween

There’s someone knockin’ at the door!

Whether you’re into vampires, monsters, or zombies – or even have a thing for carved pumpkins – the OSAC team have found a slot for you! While the kids are trick or treating around the neighbourhood, the hipsters are sipping their pumpkin spice lattes, and the teens are watching classic horrors, you can relax with your favourite pastime and still experience all the thrills and chills of the Halloween season!
