Halloween Fortune is a five reel game released in 2012 that features a relatively generous RTP of 97.06%. Although Playtech game to their senses and lowered this to a horrifying 94.99% for the 2016 sequel (avoid!!), this first installment is still widely available.

The game’s cartoon visuals still look fine by today’s standards, even if we’re fast approaching a decade since its launch.

The game area comprises transparent reels that are set against a haunted garden. They’re decorated with symbols that include a black cat, a skull, potion bottle and two scantily-clad witches.

Of the standard symbols, the witch in green pays out the most (1000x your stake when five appear). The game logo scatter pays out 50x and appears on the middle three reels. The jack-o-lantern is the most lucrative though, rewarding 10000 times your stake if five land in combination.

If the cauldron bonus symbol appears simultaneously on reels one and five, the game’s pick-and-win side game is activated. Here, you’ll get the chance to pick one out three witches to win up to 20 free spins. Then you’ll need to choose one of six potions for the chance to receive multipliers of x2, x3, x4, x5, x6 or x10

Ok so there aren’t many bonus features – just one in fact. But with a max-win potential of £50,000 for a single spin and a generous RTP of 97.06%, Halloween Fortune has still got quite a bit going for it.

Mighty Tusk is a five reel slot from Blueprint that was released in 2016. As well as a free spins bonus feature the game includes three separate jackpot prizes.

Inspired by the Jungle Book, Mighty Tusk is replete with cutesy cartoon imagery of various jungle inhabitants such as snakes, tigers, monkeys and panthers. Visually, the game still looks OK by today’s standards although don’t expect any over-elaborate reel animations.

Joining the standard symbols is an elephant which represents a standard wild. As well as substituting all others (apart from the scatter) it can award 5, 100 or 1000x your stake depending on whether it appears three, four or five times across a pay-line.

Manage to land the bonus scatter three, four or five times and you’ll trigger the Mighty Tusk Free Spins feature -you’ll also be rewarded with fifteen, twenty or fifty free spins respectively. The game area then switches to a four reel set configuration with a single reel remaining active. The goal is to activate the other reel sets by collecting peanut symbols.

12 peanuts activate reel set 2, 18 peanuts activate reel set 3 and 24 peanuts activate reel set four. For each reel set, expanding wilds come into play and you’ll also receive 5 free spins for each reel set that you manage to activate.

Blueprint’s flagship Jackpot King feature is also active and can be accessed by unveiling five Jackpot King symbols. You’ll then have the chance to collect crowns for cash prizes and enter the Wheel King bonus round for the chance to bag a progressive jackpot.

Big Bad Wolf Christmas Special is a five reel slot with 25 pay-lines that features an excellent 97.34% RTP. In contrast to many of the other games listed in this category, BBWCS is new having been launched in time for Christmas. Indeed, there’s nothing quite like a fairy tale about three pigs and a predator to inspire festive cheer.

BBWCS is basically a re-spin of the award-winning original from Quickspin. All the symbols have been retained albeit with a coating of snow, while the background is now a winter landscape. Joining the wood-finish playing card symbols (sigh) are a teddy bear and a trio of domesticated ungulates.

The wild is represented by a beehive and pays out 40 times you stake when five appear across a pay-line. There are four bonus features: swooping reels, pigs turn wild, free spins and blowing down the house.

The swooping reels feature is an Avalanche-style mechanic that’s activated after all wins. The symbols are blown away to be replaced with new ones, with the process repeated until wins are no longer possible.

Pigs Turn Wild is triggered after successive wins and one of the three pigs turns wild. If you manage six wins in a row, they’ll all turn wild.

The free spins round is unlocked by landing at least three wolf scatters – a 3x multiplier will then be awarded together with 10 free spins. Should another three scatters appear during a free spin it will re-trigger and you’ll get another 10 spins..

Blowing Down the House comes into play if you manage to unveil a minimum of three moon symbols on the fifth reel. The wooden house is blown down and you’ll be the recipient of two spins. Unveil six and the brick house is blown down, 2 spins awarded as well as a 2x multiplier.

RTP: 97.34%, Minimum Stake: 0.25

Secrets of Atlantis is a standard five reel slot game from NetEnt that’s inspired by Plato and his lost undersea city. Standout elements include win-both-ways functionality, a highlight re-spin feature and nudge wilds.

Set in a well-drawn underwater world, Secrets of Atlantis still looks decent enough, even by today’s standards. There are no reels to speak of – instead the actual symbols are arranged into a 5 x 3 lay-out and include an assortment of sea creatures including turtles, crabs, a jellyfish and a mermaid who serves as the game’s standard wild.

As mentioned, wins are possible both ways – this is enhanced by a highlight feature in which symbols on the middle three reels are randomly highlighted. If all become illuminated, a re-spin is activated with the three reels morphing into a single reel and expanding to feature 3 x 4 ‘Colossal’ symbols – these colossal symbols can also include the mermaid wild.

Should the middle reels become highlighted during the re-spins, another spin will be awarded. However, the mermaid appears fully or partially – if the latter occurs, the Nudge Wild feature will move her up or down, increasing your chances of forming winning combinations.

Although not the most renowned Netent online slot game, Secrets of Atlantis does include a relatively high RTP – definitely worth a try if you’re looking to play through wagering requirements.

Gaelic Luck is a five reel slot from Playtech with a high RTP of 97.06%. Despite a simplistic base game, it’s possible to land some big multipliers as well as unlimited free spins via a standout free games bonus round.

Gaelic Luck is of course themed around Ireland and is fronted by a simpering trio of female cartoon characters called the Lucky Lasses.

The 5 x 3 reel set is set against a green four-leaf clover background with play accompanied by the kind of score you’d expect from a game inspired by the emerald isle.

The three main characters serve as medium to high symbols – the one with the red hair is the most valuable paying out as much as 50x your stake when she appears five times on a pay-line.

The standard wild, which substitutes all other symbols, is represented by a pot of gold and rewards up to 500x your stake. The scatter is less lucrative but still pays out 50x your stake when you land five in a winning combination.

To gain access to the free games round, you’ll need to land the four-leaf clover horseshoe symbol on reels one and five. You then choose one of the lucky lasses to receive between 3 and 20 free spins. You’ll also get to pick from six clover symbols to determine your multiplier – this can be as much as x10.

Reel Rush is a five reel slot that was one of Netent’s first. Launched back in 2013, this strange little game features plenty of bonus features including a free spins round and a more than acceptable RTP of 96.96%.

Featuring unsophisticated but glossy, colourful 2D visuals, it’s quite easy to tell that Netent are behind Reel Rush. A twinkly, meandering soundtrack offers a decent accompaniment to play that remains where it’s supposed to – in the background.

The reels are decorated with various fruit symbols including lozenge-shaped lemons, a pineapple and a strawberry which is the most valuable, paying out 20 x your stake when it lands five times. To win you’ll need to land at least three matching symbols from left to right.

During the base game, the symbol positions on reels one, two, four and five are blocked. These can be unlocked when you receive re-spins after a winning pay-line. A standard wild is also in play and appears in any position apart from reel one.

To gain access to the free spins round, you’ll be required to land five winning combinations in a row. 8 free spins will then be awarded and the reel positions open up, thus allowing for the full 3125 ways to win.

RTP: 96.96%, Minimum Stake: 0.01

Blood Suckers is a five reel slot from NetEnt with a very decent RTP of 98%. As well as this, the game includes a pick-and-win round and a free spins feature.

As appearances go, Blood Suckers looks at bit long in the tooth as it were, having been launched way back in 2009. It’s by no means a horror movie though – the reels are adorned with various objects relating to the un-dead including a bible, a crossbow, a clove of garlic and a blue elixir. These represent the low value symbols.

High value symbols are signified by a female vampire, a male vampire bedecked in purple and a king vampire who looks like Zoltar from the movie, Big. Maddeningly, Tom Hanks doesn’t make an appearance.

Zoltar, sorry, the King Vampire is most valuable paying out 20 times should you land five across a pay-line. A vampire dining on a girl’s neck serves as the wild, paying out as much as 300x your stake.

It substitutes all other symbols except the scatter which is represented by a demented-looking vampire bride. Land three renderings of this cupcake across the reels and you’ll unlock the free spins feature. 10 free spins will then be awarded as well as a prize of up to 100x your stake. During the round, all winning combos generate x3 multipliers.

When you uncover three or more stake and hammer symbols during the base game, you’ll gain access to the Vampire Slaying feature – a pick and win game set in a burial chamber which requires you to select coffins. A cash prize will be added to your balance for each vampire that you reveal. Open an empty coffin and the round ends.

Money Cart 2 is a five reel slot from Relax Gaming featuring of which the standout feature is a re-spin round and an excellent 98% RTP.

You’d be forgiven for assuming that MC2 was the sequel to Money Cart. But no such game exists. Instead, Money Cart 2 is a derivative of Pragmatic Play’s Money Train 2 – actually, ‘derivative’ is something of an understatement given that both titles are very, very similar.

The game area comprises blank and bonus symbols. The goal is to land three of the latter on the same spin in order to activate the re-spins feature. The triggering symbols then become sticky and three re-spins awarded. During these, each new symbol that appears resets the re-spins to three.

Some of the following modifier symbols are active: a bonus that awards 1x your stake, a golden bonus symbol that can award up to 20x your stake, a sniper symbol that doubles the value of coin symbols and a reset plus symbol that increases the spins reset value.

RTP: 98%, Minimum Stake: 0.01

Baron Samedi by Yggdrasil is a Voodoo themed slot game with an RTP of 97% whose bonus features come in the form of a collectible card game.  Every time the Voodoo Respin feature is triggered by getting two Free Spins symbols, three feature cards are dealt.

Those three features are active for the respin and the cards are added to the player’s collection.  During the free spins bonus round which is triggered by getting three or more Free Spins symbols, three feature cards are dealt, played and added to the collection on every spin.

There are 36 different cards to collect (some much rarer than others) and the number of copies of a card needed to complete a collection varies from 10 to 50.  Completing a collection awards three free spins with that card locked in first position. You’ll need to play Baron Samedi for quite a while to complete collections and get the best out of it, but there are so many different possible combinations of cards that respins and free spins never become dull.

Age of Egypt is a five reel slot with an RTP of 97.05%. Released in early 2018, it includes a pick-an-win game and a special free spins game that includes 3x multipliers.

Unlike many slots based on Egypt, AOE features quite a simplistic design. The action takes place against a fairly basic pyramid backdrop, while the reels are decorated with playing card lettering.

More in keeping with the overall theme are the medium-to-high value symbols including a scarab beetle and the Eye of Horus. A sphinx serves as the wild and substitutes all other symbols save for the Pharaoh Queen scatter and bonus icon. It can pay out up to 500 times your stake, provided you uncover five across the reels.

The bonus is represented by an Anubis symbol, three of which triggers the pick-and-win game. You’ll then be granted three, four or five chances to choose various artefacts to reveal cash prizes.

The Pharaoh Queen unlocks the Royal Treasury free games round and 10 spins will be awarded. The bonus symbol remains active during the round which means you can gain access to the pick-and-win game. If the queen appears three times, another 10 free spins will be credited.
