Boo

Halloween themed Boo slot is a Big Time Gaming game with 4×4 reels and 256 ways to win. From a technical standpoint, it’s not too complicated, so it’s easy for beginners to navigate. But Big Time Gaming would not be the studio that it is if it didn’t include surprises.

The game offers Free Spins with Multipliers, Wilds, and a Buy Bonus. Sure, the 4×4 reels don’t really translate into ‘high-power slot’ which is why BTG decided to step up and guide you straight into Free Spins where Multipliers carry most of the weight. You can win up to 47,050x the stake, which is enormous considering the setup.

Boo is a Halloween slot. That means its theme verges on fun and horror, which is suitable for the season. That being said, it’s a perfect game for fans of fun. However, if you are looking for innovation, you won’t exactly find it here.

Namely, the game strongly resembles Pop and Chocolates, two of the candy themed slots BTG produced in recent years. I guess they wanted to bring the mechanics into Halloween mode, and even though it’s not incredibly inventive, we’re sure the game will soon find its way to a large audience.

When you start the adventure, you first get introduced to a spooky mansion and accompanying cemetery. On the grid, symbols ranging from card royals to ghosts and pay 0.20x to 0.40x for low-rank; 0.80x to 2x for ghost symbols. High-rank symbols are ghosts in different colors. You can win even if you land 3 high-rank symbols.

The game engine uses winning combos to take them away from the grid, which makes way for new icons to land onto the grid. This way, the chain reaction generates bigger wins and makes possible for Boo to have such a high winning potential.

Variance runs high, so be careful. The RTP for Boo is 96.56%.

The starting bet in Boo is $0.10 and it goes up to $10 as the maximum bet. You cannot bet more than that as there’s no higher limit nor a Golden Bet (or anything like that). But there is the Buy Feature that allows you to purchase entry to Free Spins loaded with Multipliers.

Game icons pay from 0.20x to 0.40x for card royals, and 0.80x-2x for four different ghosts. You get payouts even if you land 3 matching ghosts on a payline. There are 256 paylines in total.

The theme might be spooky, but the features are definitely not. Besides the wins using cascades to generate better payouts, you’ll also see Wilds, Multipliers, and Free Spins. There’s also the Buy Bonus.

Wilds

Wilds are multi-colored ghosts that appear on all reels except for the first one. As usual, they replace other icons (besides Scatters).  In the base game, they might also come equipped with Multipliers from 1x to 4x. If Wilds with Multipliers participate in a win, the payout is multiplied by the Multiplier value.

Free Spins

Pumpkins unlock Free Spins. You need 3 to get into Free Spins, which will give you 12 gratis rounds.

During Free Spins, Multipliers take the stage as the biggest attraction as they appear near every position on the grid. They are there until the end of the round, and they are also increasing through the round, such as when you land a win with Wilds or Ghosts in the initial spin. They might increase by +1x, +2x, or +3x. For retriggers, they increase by +1x.

You can also retrigger Free Spins with 3 extra Scatters, and you might also get a Multiplier increase with that.

However, Multipliers are accompanying ghosts or Wilds only, not low-rank symbols.

Buy Feature

The regular round of Free Spins with 12 Spins costs 90x, but you can also pay more – 500x – to get double spins, getting up to 24 spins in total.
