Face Off (BGaming) – Review & Demo Play

Introduction to Face Off

Face Off is a 6x5 scatter pays slot from BGaming set in a cemetery on Halloween night. Wins pay for 8 or more matching symbols anywhere, with tumbling reels clearing the grid for chain reactions. The bonus triggers with 4 to 6 golden skull scatters, awarding 10, 20, or 30 free spins. During free spins, tombstone multipliers worth x2 to x100 can land and stack for the spin. Stakes run from 0.20 to 17, RTP sits at 95.97%, and max win reaches 15,000x.

Theme, Gameplay & Payouts in Face Off

Face Off uses a 6 reel, 5 row layout with a pays anywhere model, so 8 plus of a kind pays wherever it lands. Each win triggers cascades, removing winning symbols and dropping new ones for extra chances within the same spin. The base game is a slow grind towards the bonus, though a 38.61% hit frequency keeps small results ticking over. I found the rhythm steady, with bursts of momentum when clusters line up across several consecutive tumbles. That tempo suits sessions when you are building balance between features.

The default RTP is 95.97% with high volatility, so sessions can swing. On average, the free spins arrive about once in 395.35 spins. The max win is 15,000x, and the stake range spans 0.20 to 17 per spin. Presentation leans into a monochrome graveyard with a tense soundtrack, while a tombstone counter to the right tracks spins towards the bonus. It runs smoothly on desktop and mobile, keeping the focus on the pays anywhere patterns and the multiplier chase.

Face Off Symbols and Paytable

The paytable splits between five royals and four masked characters. The low pays are 10, J, Q, K, and A, paying 2x the bet for 12 or more on the grid. The high pays are the Clown at 50x for 12 plus, the Rabbit at 25x, the Plague Doctor at 15x, and the Gas Mask at 12x. Mid tier hits for 8 or 10 symbols scale down, so bigger clusters matter when the cascades keep feeding the screen.

The Scatter is a golden skull. Landing 4, 5, or 6 in one spin awards 10, 20, or 30 free spins and an instant 3x, 5x, or 100x payout. During free spins, tombstone multiplier symbols appear with values from x2 to x100. When they land on a winning sequence, their values add together and apply to the total from that tumble chain, which is how the game reaches those heavier results.

Special Features & Slot Mechanics in Face Off

Cascading or refilling reels drive both phases of Face Off. Any win clears its symbols, drops the rest to the bottom, and fills the gaps from above. One paid spin can trigger multiple outcomes if new clusters keep forming. This loop pairs well with scatter pays because large symbol counts can reappear without a left to right restriction. The better base moments usually come from several back to back collapses building a screen where a premium set reaches double digits.

The free spins round is the main event. Hitting 4 to 6 golden skulls grants 10, 20, or 30 spins. Tombstone multipliers worth x2 to x100 can land during any winning sequence, and they stack before multiplying the total for that spin. Extra skulls during the bonus can retrigger with 3 or more adding 5 spins, extending the window to collect bigger combined values. The whole flow thrives on timing, tumbles, and a late multiplier landing to seal a big swing.

Face Off offers two shortcuts. Chance x2 raises the stake by 25% to double the odds of triggering the bonus, adjusting RTP to 96%. The Buy Bonus costs 100x and bumps RTP to 96.03% for that mode. Activating Chance x2 disables the buy option. There is also an Ante Bet wording seen as 1.25x in some lobbies, which is the same as Chance x2. These tools suit players who prefer direct access or a tilt toward natural entries.

Final Thoughts on Face Off

Face Off is a plain Halloween themed slot that plays cleanly and leans on familiar scatter pays with cascades and stacking multipliers. The upside at 15,000x is the draw, while the 95.97% RTP and a 1 in 395.35 trigger rate temper expectations. The base phase lacks extras, yet the hit rate keeps things moving. I rate it as a tidy seasonal option with a tense vibe and a bonus that can climb fast when tombstones land at the right moment.
