Haunted Manor Review

Horrors are meant to inspire or at least thrill, though this mostly concerns the movie industry, as horror-themed slots aren't known for being scary. This new release of a ghost-themed slot tries to deliver something thrilling and frightening, but it succeeds in a different way. Haunted Manor provides ghost action suitable for the season, but don't expect chills from the atmosphere or jump scares; the game is more horror-like in terms of the figures than the theme itself.

Haunted Manor - Design and Symbols

The game takes place in an abandoned haunted mansion, where the former inhabitants have become ghosts. The design team has done an excellent job, with everything looking detailed. The graphics are top-notch. Loading the game places you in a corridor with circular stairways and numerous candles, illuminating the background with blue light. The soundtrack is another highlight, with mysterious music playing while you spin, capturing the vibe and speeding up during bonus features.

The paytable doesn't offer many thematic symbols. There are 7 symbols in total, split into highs and lows. The lower side includes familiar card suits (hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs), styled to fit the theme. The lows are followed by 3 premiums: a man, a woman, and the game's logo. There's also a Wild symbol, substituting for other symbols and having the same value as the game's logo. You need at least 3 symbols to win, with the highest rewards for 5-of-a-kind combos. Landing 5 of the low-paying symbols awards up to 4x the bet, while the valuable symbols award from 8x to 15x the bet.

Haunted Manor - Technical Info

Haunted Manor is played on a 5x4 reelset with 40 ways to play. The game is powered by a high volatility math model, so wins won't occur often. You'll need patience to wait for big wins, adjusting your bets wisely. The hit frequency is also low at 20.24%, meaning every 5th spin will theoretically be a winning one. The RTP is 96.12%, slightly above the industry average of 96%.

Players can set bets from 0.1$ to 100$ per spin, appealing to both high-rollers and less risky players. The maximum potential is relatively low. The maximum you can hope for is 2,219x of the bet; even low volatility slots offer higher payout potentials. A large win on a single spin is possible when playing with the max bet, but it may not be worth the risk.

Haunted Manor - Bonus Features

Haunted Manor has saturated gameplay. A blue ghost lady is a Feature Symbol, landing on the reels during both base and bonus games. There's an extra horizontal row above the reels displaying random features, determined randomly at the beginning of each spin. When 2 or more Feature Symbols appear on the grid, the features displayed above the respective reels are activated. There are 7 features in total, and you can trigger 5 at once.

• 1x Bet / 2x Bet - an instant cash prize of 1x or 2x of the bet.
• + Wild - additional Wilds added to the reels.
• Wild 2x / Wild 3x - a 2x or 3x multiplier attached to all Wild symbols on the reel.
• Wild Expansion - all Wilds on the reel expand to cover the entire reel.
• Free Spins - awards 8 Free Spins.

If +Wild, Wild Expansion, and Wild 2x or 3x modifiers land during the base game, a respin with the activated features will be awarded. You can't trigger new features during respins.

When Free Spins are triggered with other active features, they carry over to the Free Spins round and stay active. Any other active Free Spins modifiers award +2 spins, and landing a Feature Symbol on an inactive reel during the bonus game awards 2 additional Free Spins.

The 200 Spins Experience in Haunted Manor

We've tested this game for you. This personal experience is subjective.

We opted for a bet of 1$ per spin and used the autospins mode. The action started fast, triggering 2 bonuses within the first 20 spins, which led to nothing. The next 70 spins were unfortunate. During the first 100 spins, the highest reward was 14 times the bet, but our loss exceeded 60 bucks.

The second part started like the first, but the Feature Symbols awarded us the Free Spins round. The Free Spins ended with a total surplus, partially thanks to a single win that occurred during our 200 spins.

Overall, it was a pleasing adventure through the haunted house even though it hadn't been successful.

Haunted Manor - Verdict

Overall, this is a controversial game. It has a lot of features, and the visual appearance is stunning. However, it doesn't provide many reasons for players to spin the reels.

It catches the eye with the graphic quality and atmosphere, complemented by a mysterious soundtrack. Even though the symbols share the style, they don't correspond to the theme, including only a couple thematic symbols.

The features are decent and keep you in the right mood. If you're not lucky, don't expect many modifiers, as the hit rate is low. The features seem lucrative but aren't. The payouts are not very frequent. The maximum win is not very high and taking the risk in this game is not worth it.

In short, theme enthusiasts who like feature triggering will be excited. Otherwise, there is not much here.
