What to expect

The trailer includes footage from the first film in the extensive series, and includes some of the most well-known characters. Obviously, Jason himself appears, as well as Laurie Strode, who was played by Jamie Lee Curtis, and Donald Pleasance’s Samuel Loomis.A five-reel, 50 payline slot that really brings the John Carpenter film to life, Halloween is steeped in the tension and fear that made the movie so immensely popular.The reels are adorned with creepy images, from clown masks, to knives, and characters from the movie.

Gameplay

The bonus features look to be excellent here. There are Wandering Reels, a Trick or Treat feature, and a Bogeyman Bonus feature which offers free spins.It’s hard to know at this point how good this game is going to be, because a trailer is not a lot to go on, but if the gameplay and graphics shown in this trailer are anything to go on, then Halloween is going to be an epic slot that is going to see Microgaming cement their place as one of the very best software developers in the world.https://youtu.be/OpbwP4HJsf8
