The Big Scary Fortune slot is a classic game with a 5x3 grid, only 10 fixed paylines, and a creepy, ghoulish, Halloween theme. It also has great potential wins thanks to generous payouts for line wins in addition to a Cash Collect bonus feature.
Ghosts and floating eyeballs might not be to everybody's taste, but the developer, Inspired Gaming, has taken a light-hearted approach, and the colourful graphics are cartoonishly entertaining rather than scary.
And with a top line win of 200x the total bet in the base game, and a maximum potential win of 2,500x, there's plenty to get excited about. And the best thing is, the game is suitable for all types of players, with simple, straightforward gameplay and a betting range of 0.20 to 100.00 per spin.
On the paytable you’ll see some pretty ordinary card ranks 10 to Ace, all giving the same payouts of 0.50x, 2.50x, and 10x the bet for combos of 3, 4, or 5. The premiums are where things get interesting, and include a ghost and a disembodied eyeball, which both pay 2x, 10, and 50x the bet for combinations of 3, 4, or 5. The black cat awards 3x, 15x, and 100x the bet, and the witches hat, the most valuable regular symbol awards 0.50x, 5x, 20x, and 200x the bet for combos of 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Different size pumpkins act as Cash symbols in the Free Spins and also award 1x, 5x, and 20x the bet for combos of any 3 or more in the base game.
The Wild, which appears only in the Free Spins is a scarecrow with a pumpkin for a head. The cauldron Scatter triggers the Big Scary Fortune bonus round with three or more in view.
When 3 or more Scatters land the bonus round triggers, but the player doesn’t get a set amount of free spins. However, players will still want to see more Scatters landing as it will boost the win potential of the bonus round.
During the bonus round, the Cash Collect feature becomes active. The Scarecrow Wild will now collect all the cash values from any pumpkins on the reels when he lands. The highest cash value of up to x100 the bet is attached to the Big Pumpkin, and the round continues until this is collected.
The actual value of the Big Pumpkin i decided in a Pick ‘Em game before the round starts, and will depend on the number of triggering Scatters, as follows:
If a Big Pumpkin lands when there is no Wild in view, it sticks, and so do any more that land until a Scarecrow comes along to scoop them all up.
