Slot game players can expect chills and thrills this Halloween after each spin playing Big Scary Fortune in the U.S. and now the United Kingdom.

Slot game provider Inspired Entertainment, Inc. announced on Thursday they are preparing slot players for a Halloween season like no other with the launch of Big Scary Fortune in the U.K. Inspired is a large gaming provider with more than 50,000 machines located in betting shops, pubs, and gaming halls. The company also provides games to online casinos in the U.S.

An Unforgettable Halloween Journey

Big Scary Fortune is a captivating Halloween-themed slot that takes players on a chilling adventure, featuring a 5×3-reel layout, 10-win lines, and an exhilarating bonus that offers the chance to revel in unlimited Free Spins.

Matching 3-5 symbols along the win line rewards a payout, but the fun doesn’t stop there – special pumpkin symbols offer additional rewards during play. The pumpkins will reward a win depending on the combination. Five pumpkins pay $20, four pumpkins grant $5, and three pumpkins deliver $1 in rewards. The scarecrow, represented as the Wild symbol, substitutes for all symbols except the bonus symbol.

Players should keep an eye out for the bonus symbol landing on any reel, as three or more of these symbols will trigger the coveted Big Scary Bonus. Before diving into the bonus round, players will engage in a match three game. The number of bonus symbols that triggered the bonus determines the number of tiles presented – 12 tiles for three bonus symbols, nine tiles for four bonus symbols, and six tiles for five bonus symbols.

Matching three tiles will unveil the Big Winner Value, setting the stage for unlimited Free Spins. Stay alert during the bonus for the scarecrow and the pumpkin symbols.

From Online to Machine-Based Game

“The impressive online achievements of Big Scary Fortune served as a driving force behind its transformation into a UK B3 game,” Inspired said in a press statement released Thursday. UK B3 gaming machines in the United Kingdom may contain games of more than one category. Big Scary Fortune was first introduced as an online and mobile slot in October 2022.

The slot features Inspired’s groundbreaking Free Spins mechanic, introduced in August 2020, and has rapidly garnered a dedicated community of enthusiastic and engaged players. With a chance to win limitless free spins and up to 5,000x your bet, each spin is sensationally spooky and could payout a maximum jackpot of $216,000.

The minimum bet in the game is $0.20 with a maximum of $100.00. The game has a 94.80% Return-To-Player (RTP) rating. RTP is the term casinos use to describe the percentage a game will pay back to players over time.

Online slot players in the U.S. can find Big Scary Fortune online at BetMGM, Golden Nugget, WynnBET, and BetRivers.
