Last Week’s Report: If you missed our last report, you missed out on quite a few other hauntingly-good Halloween-themed slot releases. Go and check them out in our New Casino Games October (Week 42) update here.

Top 5 New Online Casino Games October (Week 43) 2023

We have gone full Halloween for this week’s top 5 slot releases. Not just because Halloween is fast approaching, but also because the five slots featured are the titles we enjoyed the most. The only question is, do you have the guts to play them all? There are some creepy titles among this lot, so if you are scared easily, make sure your light is turned on!

Big Bass Halloween is a 5-reel, 3-row, and 10-payline slot with medium volatility and a 96.06% RTP. The symbols and soundtrack have changed to suit the Halloween season, and that means ravens, zombified fish, a serial killer-looking fisherman, and music that takes you back to the slasher films of the 90s. As for the bonus features, there’s only a free spins round with money symbols and multipliers. But that bonus round is about as epic as they come.

Let’s take a closer look:

• Wild Symbols: The evil-looking fisherman is the wild symbol, and he only appears during the free spins feature. It substitutes for all regular symbols and collects the money symbols when they land on the same spin.
• Free Spins: When you land 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols during the base game, you trigger 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. As mentioned, when the fisherman lands during this feature, he collects all money symbols in view. They can have values of between 2x and 2,000x the stake. Each fisherman landed during the feature is also collected. Each time you collect 4, you earn another 10 free spins, but this time with an increased multiplier. The first re-trigger gives you a 2x multiplier, the second rewards you with 3x, and the fourth gives you 10x.
• Ante Bet: For an additional 50% on top of your current bet, you can activate the Ante Bet feature. This increases your chances of triggering the above free spins feature.
• Buy Bonus: You also have the option to buy into the free spins bonus round via a buy bonus feature. It costs 100x your stake.

Although just a re-skin of Big Bass Bonanza, Big Bass Halloween still offers up plenty of spooky fun. If you enjoyed playing this hauntingly good slot, I recommend you check out others in the Big Bass series, such as Big Bass Hold & Spinner Megaways™, Big Bass Splash, and Big Bass Bonanza Megaways™.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: To create winning combinations, you must land 3 or more matching symbols on one of the 10 paylines. 5-symbol combinations on Big Bass Halloween pay: Life Buoy Ring (200x), Hook (100x), Raven (50x), Tackle Box (50x), Fish (20x), Ace/King/Queen/Jack/Ten (10x).

As for the slot itself, this is a 3-reel and 3-row affair containing 5-fixed paylines. That is different from the original which had 5-reels and 4-rows, but Wazdan always likes to mix things up. You will not find too many bonus features as Los Muertos™ II is designed to be a simple slot you can pick up and play without having to worry about complex features. That said, as with many other Wazdan titles, you can choose your Volatility Levels™ and there is a gamble feature you can choose to use after every win on the reels. Plus, the firm has introduced a Special symbol that awards a top payout of 40x whenever landed three times on a payline.

• Special Symbol: This symbol is attached to random low-paying symbols. If you land three or more symbols featuring the special symbol across a payline, you win a 40x your stake payout.
• Volatility Levels™: Using the Volatility Levels™ setting, you can choose the volatility you want to play with. You can switch between low, standard, and high.
• Gamble Feature: After a win, you can choose to play the gamble feature. This gives you the chance to double what you won. Be advised, however, lose and you lose what you already won. The feature involves picking one of the two main characters to see if you win. You can double your win up to seven times.

Los Muertos™ II becomes the latest addition to an already vast collection of titles in the Wazdan portfolio. This simple-to-play slot is a great option when you want something quick and easy to play when celebrating the Halloween season! While you’re in the Wazdan mood, why not play some other of the firm’s Halloween slots such as 9 Coins Halloween which also launched recently and Hot Slot: 777 Cash Out Halloween Edition?

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: There are 8 regular symbols on the reels of Los Muertos™ II and a Special Symbol that can appear on top of the lower paying symbols. You must land 3 matching symbols on a payline to create a winning combination. The symbol payouts are as follows: Special Symbol (40x), Green/Yellow/Blue/Purple Skulls (16x), Ace/King/Queen/Jack (8x).

This eerie slot features 5-reels, 5-rows, and 40-fixed paylines, and bonus features, including ineffective Wild Symbols, Free Spins with Sticky Wilds, and a Buy Bonus. As for the symbols, you can expect to run across evil cats, gravestones, pumpkins, ravens, cauldrons, potions, and witch’s hats.

• Infective Wild Symbol: The Ineffective wild symbol can land on reels 1, 2, 3, and 4 and substitutes for all regular symbols, but not the scatter symbols. If this wild symbol lands in a position where it is touching a cat or raven symbol, it infects them, so they transform into wild symbols. If those symbols are also connected to symbols of the same type, it infects them and they also transform into wild symbols.
• Free Spins: Scatter symbols can land on reels one, three, and five. When you land three, you trigger the free spins bonus feature. To reveal how many free spins you win, 8 miniature reels spin and will stop on 1, 2, or 3. That means you can have a minimum of 8 free spins and a maximum of 24. As the spins play out, any wilds that land will remain sticky until the end of the feature.
• Buy Bonus: If you want to get straight into the free spins bonus, you can use the buy bonus feature. It costs 100x your stake and guarantees the next spin triggers the feature.

If you’re looking for a new Halloween-themed slot to enjoy, Infective Wild™ is up there with the best of the latest releases. Plus, you’re not obliged to play this slot just at Halloween, you can enjoy it all year round! By the way, if you’re after more Halloween titles from Pragmatic Play, check out Zombie Carnival™ and Vampires vs Wolves! You will also find many other great titles from this developer via our Pragmatic Play best slots overview here.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: To create winning combinations, you must land 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols on a payline. The 5-symbol combination payout multipliers are as follows: Infective Wild (60x), Cat (60x), Raven (40x), Witch’s Hat (30x), Couldron (20x), Gravestone (16x), Potion (12x), Ace/King (6x), Queen/Jack/Ten (4x).

So, what can you expect when you play Inspired Gaming’s Cops N Robbers Big Trick or Treat slot?

• Wild Symbols: There are three wild symbols on the Cops N Robbers Big Trick or Treat video slot These substitute for all symbols apart from the Pumpkin bonus symbol.
• Fortune Spins: This is a special game mode you can turn on or off at any time. When activated, the reels will only feature Candy, Robber, and Bonus symbols. The Robber becomes both a Wild symbol and a Collector. If Candy money symbols land on the same spin as the robber, you win the value of that money symbol of between 1x and 100x your stake.
• Mixed Pay Candy Symbols: There are four Candy symbols of different colours. You will win a payout no matter which combination of coloured symbols lands on the reels. These pay when landed anywhere in view.
• Trick or Treat Bonus Game: This entertaining bonus game is triggered when you land 3, 4, or 5 pumpkin bonus symbols in any position on the reels. You receive an unspecified number of free spins with a 1x, 2x, or 3x multiplier, respectively. Above the reels if a progress meter containing a fleeing robber and a cop giving chase. You receive free spins which can reveal cops or robber symbols. Each time either lands, the respective character moves a certain number of positions on the meter. If the robber continues to flee, he can reach multiplier milestones, which increase the global multiplier up to a maximum of 10x. That multiplier value is applied to any money symbols collected by the robber during the free spins. If the cop catches the robber, it triggers the ID parade bonus.
• ID Parade: This feature determines if the robber is picked out of an identity lineup. If he is, the above feature ends. If not, the Trick or Treat bonus game continues.
• Gamble Feature: After each win on the reels, you can choose to attempt to double your win via a gamble feature.

Cops N Robbers Big Trick or Treat is definitely deserving of its place among our top 5 new slot releases this week. In fact, this is the title that gave me the most entertainment of all the new releases. The bonus features are great and the theme is enjoyable. If you’re new to Inspired Gaming and  liked what you saw here, take a look at some other titles released by the developer such as Black Dragon, Reel King, and Jaguar Gems.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Aside from the Wild symbols and the Trick or Treat scatter symbols, which require two, you need to lad three or more matching symbols on a payline to create a winning combination. 5-symbol combinations reward you with the following multiplier of your stake: Wild Symbol (200x), Scatter Symbol (200x), Siren (100x), Police Car (50x), Cash (50x), Goodie Bags (20x), Ace/King/Queen/Jack/Ten (10x).

Book of SpinOween is a 6×3 video slot that features 10 paylines, a high variance, a 96.01% RTP, and features including free spins with expanding symbols, a scatter/wild, and a buy bonus feature. Plus, if you stick around long enough, you might just land the slot’s top prize of 10,000x the stake.

• Scatter/Wild Symbol: As found on many Book-themed slots, the Scatter symbol is also the wild. it substitutes for all regular symbols, will pay when you land 3 or more on a payline, and will trigger the free spins bonus.
• Free Spins with an Expanding Symbol: When you land three or more of the above scatter/wild symbols anywhere in view, you trigger 10 free spins. Before the spins start, one symbol is randomly selected as an expanding symbol. That symbol expands to fill its reels each time it lands on the reels and can create a winning combination.
• Buy Bonus: For a cost of 106x your current bet, you can buy yourself into the above free spins bonus.

I really enjoyed playing Book of SpinOween and believe it will appeal to many of you who enjoy book-style video slots. That expanding symbol in the free spins feature can create some impressive payouts. By the way, if you’re looking for more ‘book’ slots, have a peek at our Book of Ra alternatives here. Plus, if you’re a fan of Spinomenal and want some recommendations of slots to play, I suggest checking out Queen of the Forest Autumn Kingdom, Bavarian Riches, and Majestic King.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: There are 9 regular symbols on the reels of Book of SpinOween and these are 4 high-paying symbols and 5 low-paying. You need to land 2 or more high-paying symbols or 3 or more low-paying symbols on a payline to create winning combinations. The top 6-symbol combinations will pay the following multipliers of your stake: Witch’s Hat (1,000x), Skull (400x), Pumpkin (150x), Potion (150x), Wild/Scatter (50x), Ace/King (30x), Queen/Jack/Ten (20x).

Another 25 New Titles Ready and Waiting!
