Castle of Terror Slot Machine

Castle of Terror is an online slot released by Big Time Gaming that features a theme beloved by horror and thriller fans: a mysterious noble family living in a wealthy English mansion... with something clearly to hide! The setting strongly resembles the classic board game Cluedo, but the similarities end there, as the slot's protagonists are quite different from those in the table game. The game follows the Megaways mechanics and offers up to 4096 ways to win, on a grid with 6 vertical reels. The RTP is calculated at 96.72% and volatility is high.

Castle of Terror bonus features

Holy Water: for each spin, up to two of the 4 central reels may be hit by the Holy Water feature. This causes all figures that land to become Wild, optimizing the formation of winning combinations. Wilds increase any win multiplier by +1.

Scatter: the game features 2 scatter symbols: the Silver Castle Scatter and the Gold Castle MegaScatter. When 3 or more Scatters land on the game grid, you win 12 Free Spins and an additional 3 free spins are added for each additional Scatter present on screen. If one of the Scatters activating the feature is a Gold Castle, Enhanced Free Spins will be activated instead of regular Free Spins. The Gold Castle MegaScatter can only appear on the sixth reel. The feature cannot be reactivated.

Bonus Buy: you can voluntarily activate the Free Spins feature by paying 70x the base bet. If you want to activate the Enhanced Free Spins, you'll need to pay 200x the base bet.

Free Spins: during Free Spins, the Holy Water feature is always active and wins receive a multiplier that increases by +1 for each figure that transforms into a Wild. When a multiplier of 20 or a multiple of 20 is reached, you win an additional 6 free spins. Enhanced Free Spins offer the advantage of a multiplier that starts at x2 and increases by +2 for each figure transformed into a Wild.

Win Exchange: when you win an amount equal to or greater than 100x the base bet, you can exchange the win for 12 Free Spins. If the win is between 25x and 100x the base bet, you can try to win Free Spins by spinning a wheel of fortune.

Pros and cons of Castle of Terror slot

We like Castle of Terror in every aspect, from the graphics to the many bonuses that make this game dynamic and engaging. Soundtrack and animations are exceptional, but this is not surprising since the provider is one of the industry leaders. Big Time Gaming has also enriched this title with Megaways mechanics, allowing for several thousand winning combinations per single spin. The betting range is somewhat disappointing, being rather low compared to other similar games.
