Playtech slots and I do not get along. I can’t seem to win on them. In my opinion, they are blood suckers. Some may say that of slots in general but these are up there in the top 10 worst. No casino tricks on the planet would help when it comes to these little suckers.  Knowing my horrible luck on these I still played the brand new Halloween Fortune at a Playtech online casino, bet365.

Here’s the lowdown on the Halloween Fortune. The symbols are perfect for the season. It’s Halloween at its best. A bonus symbol on reels 1 and 5 will launch the Witches Brew bonus. This is a series of free spins. I was prompted to choose between 3 witches. From there I chose a potion for her to mix up a multiplier. I was armed with 20 free spins with a 2x multiplier. My wager was £1 per spin. The free spins weren’t paying at first. Oh what a surprise. Finally, I started to get a bit of play and matched 5 pink potion bottles. My free spins gave me an extra £15.

There are 20 pay lines and all the symbols are classic Halloween fixtures.  Witches, potions, skulls, black cats, black birds and an evil pumpkin is the wild symbol. Scatter symbols will pay when 3 or more land on the reels.

My winnings were nearly gone. Maybe I just needed to change my bet. The question was up or down. I know that it could be bad to up my bet when I’m not winning but I did it anyway. I raised it to £2 per spin. I was only going to do this for 10 spins to see if I could pull out of this losing battle with Playtech. First spins I hit a witch and a pendant with wilds for 6 quid.  Third spin £1.50. I wasn’t doing half bad and I even managed to trigger the bonus!

I chose my witch carefully. I chose correctly with the max of 20 free spins. Now for the potion. Oh, a 4x multiplier. So far so good. Now for the free spins. I walked away £80 richer.

Maybe the battle was over. Have you experienced Halloween Fortune?
