Haunted Reels (BGaming) – Review & Demo Play

Haunted Reels Slot Overview

I dove into Haunted Reels by BGaming and got a proper Halloween send-off: neon-glowing spectres, a cheeky Skeleton host, and mid/high volatility that keeps the pace. It runs on 5 reels, 5 rows, and 3125 ways to win, with a standout 97.00% RTP and a 5,000x max win. Wilds can drop with x2, x3, x5, or x10, while pumpkin Scatters set off the Bonus. There’s also a Buy Bonus with three variants, so there’s always a quick route to the thrills.

Haunted Reels Slot Information

I like the neon-lit boneyard backdrop: a graveyard at night, reels centre stage, with Spin and stake controls below and the Feature Buy to the left. It plays smoothly on mobile and desktop. Wins land for three or more on adjacent reels from the leftmost. The ghost Wild can pitch in during the base game too, so even dry spells can flip quickly when a multiplier shows up. It feels straightforward to pick up, with a slick flow between spins.

My stake range ran from 0.2 to 50, which suits testing and higher swings. The hit rate sits at 22.72 percent, and on average I saw Free Spins roughly once in 123 spins, which tracks for medium/high volatility. That variance holds its own, yet the 97.00 percent RTP and 5,000x top end keep it worth the wait. If I want to skip the grind, the Buy Bonus offers targeted entries that match how bold I’m feeling on the day.

Theme and Symbols in Haunted Reels

I clocked a set of colourful, glowing icons that fit the Halloween brief. Lower-paying symbols are blue candle, red candle, purple candle, green candle, pink flask, orange candle, purple spider, and blue spider, paying 0.2x to 0.75x for five of a kind. Higher-paying ones are green skull, red skull, and purple skull, paying 1.25x to 3x. The Wild is a glowing ghost with multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x, and the pumpkin Scatter shows "Bonus".

Haunted Reels Slot Features

The Wild symbol substitutes and applies its multiplier to any win it helps complete, so a single ghost can turn a middling hit into something tidy. I’ve seen x2 and x3 in steady patches, with rarer x5 and x10 spikes that can swing a session. Wilds land in the base game and in Free Spins, and when they land alongside sticky symbols in the feature, the pay-off starts to snowball in a way that fits the slot’s pace.

Three to five pumpkin Scatters award 5, 7, or 10 Free Spins. Before the round, a paying symbol is picked to play and pay, and during spins, coffins can appear. When the reels stop, coffins may open or explode to grant an extra spin, add multipliers on special spots, or reveal the round symbol, which then sticks. Collect five multipliers and the Skeleton absorbs and redistributes them onto the reels at the end for a cracking finale.

I often use the Feature Buy. Green is the low-volatility pick, Red is medium, and Purple is very high. Costs mirror the setup: 50x triggers a Bonus where all symbols can appear, 100x limits the pool to higher-paying symbols, and 300x does the same but applies the multiplier to each locked symbol twice at the end. In Red and Purple, the chosen round symbol comes from the top pays, which tightens the hit profile in a good way.

Haunted Reels Slot Conclusion

I rate the package after a fair slog: 97.00 percent RTP, swingy medium/high variance, a 5,000x ceiling, and Wild multipliers that matter in both phases. The coffins, sticky round symbol, and the Skeleton’s end-of-round redistribution give the feature a proper build-up. The three Buy Bonus paths suit different appetites, letting me choose control or pure chaos. It feels like a festive reskin, but the mechanics and stats carry the weight.

For steady sessions I lean Green to smooth the curve, while Red balances hit rate and punch. Purple is my pick when I’m chasing spikes and don’t mind colder gaps. With 3125 ways and a 22.72 percent hit rate, the base game holds interest between features, and a timely x10 Wild can carry a round on its own. For me, Haunted Reels nails the Halloween mood without getting in the way of the maths.
