Grid / Paylines / Symbol Payouts
The game runs 5 reels, 3 rows, 10 paylines. Lines pay left to right for 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols, except the Truck which pays 2 on a line. Top earner is the Truck at 0.50x to 200x the bet, followed by Chainsaw at 3x to 100x. Mosquito and Tackle Box each pay 2x to 50x. Fish scatter symbols pay 1x to 20x. Minor symbols (Royalties) deliver 0.20x to 10x the stake.
Betting spans €0.10 to €250 per spin. Max win is 5,000x the wager – a jump from the first Halloween’s 2,100x, though odds are tighter: 1 in 3,086,876 spins versus 1 in 711,744 last time. Hit Frequency sits at 13.66% (roughly 1 in 7.32 spins).
RTP / Volatility
The headline RTP is 96.71%. Alternative tiers are 95.67% and 94.60%, but Hit Frequency stays locked at 13.66% across all versions. Volatility is High – expect long dry stretches before the bonus lands.
Money Symbols / Cash Collection
Fish scatters carry cash rewards collected during Free Spins. Money values range in tiers: 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 25x, 50x (common); 100x, 200x, 500x (rare); 1,666x, 2,500x, 5,000x (rarest). The wild Fisherman acts as a cash collector – every wild lands during the bonus, it gathers all Money symbols in view and applies the current multiplier.
Free Spins Trigger / Feature Trail
Three, four, or five scatters award 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. Bonus triggers at 1 in 113 spins. At Free Spins start, the engine randomly activates 0 to 5 in-game modifiers – More Fish, More Fisherman, More Dynamites/Hooks/Chainsaws, Start from Level 2, or +2 Free Spins.
The Feature Trail is a 4-tier progressive meter. Each collected wild advances it:
- 4th Fisherman: +10 free spins with x2 Money multiplier
- 8th Fisherman: +10 free spins with x3 Money multiplier
- 12th Fisherman: +10 free spins with x10 Money multiplier
After all 4 tiers are cleared, all Money values lock at x10 multiplier for remaining spins. Extra spins batch in sets of 10 after each tier completes.
| Feature | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Free Spins Buy | 2x | Triggers Free Spins |
| Free Spins Buy | 100x | and guarantees the next spin delivers either 3, 4, or 5 scatters – no ante bet option exists on this slot |
Dynamite / Hook / Chainsaw Modifiers
Three random grid modifiers can fire during Free Spins on losing spins when conditions align:
- Dynamite Feature: If Fisherman wilds are present but no Fish, random positions transform into Money symbols to guarantee a payout.
- Hook Feature: If Fish are visible but no Fisherman, a hook pulls one reel to reveal a wild symbol.
- Chainsaw Feature: When one or more Fisherman wilds land but no Fish, the animation transforms all non-wild symbols on the grid to something else.
These modifiers turn losing spins into wins – the slot’s main tension release during bonus.
Second-Chance Mechanics / Bonus Buy
Two modifiers can also activate in the base game. When 2 scatters land, a Hook may pull a non-scatter reel to reveal a third scatter and trigger Free Spins instantly. If both visible scatters sit above the bottom row, they may nudge down one position while other reels respin to land a third. Neither is guaranteed.
Bonus Buy, where available, costs 100x the bet and guarantees the next spin delivers either 3, 4, or 5 scatters – no ante bet option exists on this slot.
Theme / Presentation
The zombie fisherman theme is sharper than the first Halloween slot. Artwork includes stitched-seam designs on minor symbols and a blood-eyed mosquito replacing the raven. Soundtrack leans hysterical and dramatic – dread over fun. Animations trigger when random modifiers activate, adding visual punch. Standard controls: Autoplay, Quickspin, Turbo, Battery Saver.
