Halloween Fortune II Slot by Playtech

The free games run two mechanics at the same time. A multiplier opens at 2x and steps up every second spin, reaching 6x on the last one. And any pumpkin wild that lands during the round locks in place, staying put until the free spins finish. So the wilds gather across the reels while the number multiplying them keeps climbing. A wild that stuck on an early spin is still sitting there when the 6x arrives, usually with a few more locked beside it by then. That pile of held wilds under a rising multiplier is what carries the top win to 18,000x the stake.

In the base game the pumpkin does double duty. It's the wild, subbing for every paying symbol except the logo scatter, and it's the best-paying standard symbol on the board too, five on a line returning 3,000x the line bet. The three witches, in red, green and blue, land in tall stacks, so a single reel can fill with one witch and complete several lines at once. The red witch is the top premium of the three. The logo itself pays from anywhere and drops you into the free games.

This is the sequel to the original Halloween Fortune, and it plays out on a witchcraft night in a haunted purple forest, gnarled bare trees and a hazy full moon behind an ornate silver-scrollwork border. The witches are glamorous cartoon figures, each conjuring a wisp of blue magic, and they share the reels with a grinning carved pumpkin, a wide-eyed black cat under the moon, a raven perched on a branch, a candle melted down onto a skull, and three cork-stoppered potions glowing purple, green and blue. No buy option and no jackpot, just an older build that leans on the free-game multiplier for its ceiling rather than any bought-in shortcut.
