‘Tis the season to be…spooky? That’s right, Halloween is just around the corner, and this year Play’n GO are celebrating it in style with the Helloween slot release.
Holiday Slot Combined with Music
Helloween is a 5-reel video slot with a rocking soundtrack provided by German power metal band Helloween themselves.
The game features songs from their pivotal albums Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I and Part II.
Features are an essential part of any game, which makes getting them correct, a crucial part of the design process. The game developers have spent a lot of time designing features that fit well with the narrative of the game and add to the overall player experience.
That being said, the game contains SEVEN different features, each one coming with its own Wild symbol!
Each feature is linked to one of Helloween’s hit tracks and features impressive animations on the Wilds that are sure to catch players’ eyes, inviting them to trigger each one and find their favorite.
The Comments
The company is not always one to bring out ‘seasonal games’. Last year they opted to release the innovative “honeycomb” grid slot Honey Rush instead of a Halloween based title like some of their competitors. The unusual move ultimately paid off with Honey Rush’s popularity.
While the company continues to push the boundaries with innovative titles like Honey Rush, they still continue to shake up the traditional slot formats, adding extra dimensions to their titles to provide more value for operators and their players.
CPO Martin Zettergren commented on the company’s approach to creating ‘holiday slots’.
“Last year we didn’t feel we had an idea for a Halloween game that could bring something new to the industry, this year we do.
We don’t need the gimmick of a holiday to push our slots; they stand on their own two feet. For Helloween, the design, the features, and the music all come together to create a brilliant Halloween slot that everyone can enjoy.”
This is something they’ve achieved with multiple slots, from their other music titles like Twisted Sister, Annihilator and Saxon to other games like Nyjah Huston’s Skate for Gold and their Hugo series.
And, still, if this isn’t your cup of tea, Play’n GO’s, newest 5-reel slot Disco Diamonds will bring you back the 80s glam of the disco age.
