You will need the mountain scatters to access the free spins mode where you climb to the peak of Multiplier Mountain where each win adds + 1x to the multiplier and gives you an additional free spin.

There are more jolly times to be had with the releases of Christmas Cashpots, Santa King Megaways, and Santa Stacked Free Spins.

Prominent iGaming developer Yggdrasil is back with another uniquely innovative pokie. Hyperburst transports you to the foot of a dangerously active volcano that is worshipped as a god by the local tribespeople. Normally lava is something you would avoid at all costs, but in this game, it blazes the path to wonderful winning opportunities for you.

The pokie’s engrossing theme perfectly complements its brilliant gameplay and a fine set of features that will have players fully immersed in the experience.

Geothermic gameplay

Hyperburst’s 4-reel, 25-payline format is expertly encased in vibrant, detailed artwork, featuring a menacing volcano in the background and intricate tribal masks as symbols.

The gameplay is an extension of the passion and care that went into the pokie’s presentation. The longer your luck holds out, the more cash you stand to claim, as each win awards an instant respin and reel expansion.

Chained wins for the win

Chain wins dominate in Hyperburst, as each consecutive payout makes future payouts more probable. A meter that sits to the left of the reels steadily fills with lava, activating multipliers as it ascends. You can achieve a maximum multiplier of 10x, which will simultaneously activate a mega-payout bonus round.

As the lava cascades onto the reels, merging them, the ones it touches will feature increasingly larger symbols that mean larger potential payouts.

Watch out, skeletons and spiders are out and about, ready to draw a few shrieks from unsuspecting pokies players. Though, they are far more likely to be shrieks of joy, given that in Halloween Cash Pots the ghoulish creatures are the ticket to a few decent payouts.

iGaming developers, Inspired Gaming, is behind the fun, Halloween themed pokie, and have done a great job in capturing what the scariest holiday of the year is all about. Namely; smiling at silly monsters, and generally having a good time.

Though, just because it is all in good fun, it doesn’t mean that this isn’t still an excellent pokies game.

Boo!

As would be expected, all the classic tropes can be found in Halloween Cash Pots. A glowing-eyed spider haunts the 5 reels and 3 rows, along with a few ghostly friends, and goofy pumpkins. Even if it is all a bit silly, Inspired Gaming has clearly done its utmost to pour some effort into the graphics. Even the background demonstrates a certain level of outstanding ambiance, complete with gnarled trees, and a gloomy, moonlit sky.

All in all, there is more than enough charm in Halloween Cash Pots to make the experience worthwhile in terms of visuals.

In the gameplay department Inspired Gaming have also demonstrated their skill, utilizing the 10 fixed paylines and 96.5% RTP to their maximum potential.

Spooky Fun

As far as special features are concerned, the pokie also does a good job of offering something new and interesting. The Cash Collector Bonus is triggered by landing at least 6 Bonus symbols, which instantly grants 5 Free Spins in a spooky mini-game. During a Cash Collector sequence, the goal is, simply, to land as many Cash Pots as possible.  If the Pumpkin Bonus also makes an appearance, on the last reel, the Cash Pots will transform into higher-paying versions of themselves. This means, naturally, more money in the player’s pocket.

Halloween Cash Pots is a great effort by the developers, and a fine title to try out over the appropriate season. It isn’t anything mind-blowing, and doesn’t innovate in any real way, but does well in terms of capturing the spirit of the holiday.

It is more than worth a look for pokies enthusiasts, including those who aren’t especially interested in the season-specific theme. It probably need not be mentioned, though, but for those that do enjoy cartoonish spooks, this is a must-play title.​

The legend of King Arthur is a popular theme choice for online slots and Iron Dog Studio has decided to add its spin on the theme to the world of online slots.  Crown of Avalon transports you to the magical realm of Camelot, the Knights of the Round Table, and a cast of iconic characters.

The 5-reel, 3-row pokie with an RTP of 96% has modest graphics that adequately depict the well-known literary legend. While the graphics may not be exceptional, the game’s strategy of weaving story elements into the gameplay certainly is.

Your quest is to find the legendary Crown of Avalon and help Arthur claim his place as king and there are plenty of rewards for you along the way.

Quest for the crown

The reels feature Merlin, Arthur, Morgana, The Lady of the Lake, and more characters. They represent the high-value symbols that pay out the base game’s biggest rewards. But, the titular crown and legendary sword Excalibur offer the path to the greatest riches the slot has to offer.

3 Crown Scatters will trigger 10 Free Spins. A symbol is randomly selected at random and if that symbol is matched again during a Free Spins sequence, you will receive an extra 10 Free Spins. The randomly selected special symbol acts as an Expanding Wild, that occupies an entire reel.

Raise the sword

The sword Excalibur randomly appears during the base game, acting as an Expanding Wild with attached multipliers. A single sword on the reels can greatly boost your winning potential, but if more than 1 sword lands on the reels, takes your payout potential to new levels with a maximum of 5,100x your bet.

Crown of Avalon is available to play now and is a worthy addition the Iron Dog Studio’s growing portfolio.​
