Two video slots were launched in 2011 that changed the face of Halloween at online casinos. Gone were the craggy witches with pointed noses and chins. The new look witches were alluring and sexy. These slot games are still popular today and are revived every Halloween.

The Microgaming Halloween themed slot is titled Lucky Witch. The highlight of this video slot is the Mystery Bonus which is triggered by the Cauldron symbol appearing on reels 1, 3 and 5. It provides access to four other bonus games. In the Potion Bonus, the Lucky Witch invites you to pick from 12 potions that award bonus credits. If you reveal the 'Win All' prize you will earn credits from all the potions. But if you expose the skull and cross bones the bonus game will end. In the Pumpkin Bonus you choose three Halloween pumpkins. If you do not like your prize then you can pick again. In the Witch's Vault Bonus you choose from 12 witchcraft symbols to win prizes and in the Spell Books Bonus you pick a spell book. During these bonus games on the second screen an imp can appear and enhance the multipliers up to as much as 52 times your total bet. For the Halloween effect you have eerie sounds and psychedelic graphics of cats, crystals, pumpkins, potions and spell charts.

In its Halloween themed slot game, Playtech featured three attractive witches. The game is Halloween Fortune. Each witch has her favorite color. The other thematic symbols are cat, raven, skull, potion and medallion. Most symbols get animated during win combinations making the screen come alive. The carved pumpkin is the wild symbol and awards a jackpot payout of 10,000 coins. The Halloween Fortune logo is the scatter symbol. In this video slot as well, the cauldron symbol activates the bonus round titled Witches' Brew. You choose a witch and she rewards you with a number of free spins. The chosen witch then produces a number of potion bottles. You choose one and add it to the cauldron to reveal your free spins multiplier. You can win up to 20 free spins with a multiplier up to 10 times. The free spins can be retriggered indefinitely with the same multiplier. Halloween Fortune also offers the Playtech Gamble Game. After any win, you can choose to activate this feature. It gives you a chance to double the payout but you can lose it all if things go wrong.
