Sleepy Hollow is based on the thrilling short story by Washington Irving which has more recently been made into a hit film by Tim Burton. This five reel video slot is based on the story with matching graphics, sound effects and features all using an eerie theme.

Sleepy Hollow Theme

The story retells the exploits of Ichabod Crane, a detective who sole task is to figure out what's behind the creepy occurrences at Sleepy Hollow. Sadly Johnny Depp doesn't appear on the reels, although an entire cast of headless victims do.

Three bonus symbols are included, presumably each came to a sticky end because they're missing heads. They include one female and two male victims who where period dress as on the films. Other icons also follow a horror/halloween theme with graphics such as pumpkins, horsemen, lanterns, spy glasses, logos and A, K and Q graphics all appearing on the reels.

Betting Options and More Functions

The slot allows players to increase or decrease the number of lines, coin values and coins per line using the buttons below the reels. The total bet ranges from 0.01 to $450 which is more than good enough to accommodate low, mid and high rolling players with ease.

Sleepy Hollow Slot Features

The Sleepy Hollow logo is capable of substituting for the horseman or pumpkin symbol. Although this can work out well you invariably see the wild turn up and not pay out a thing because it cannot substitute for other icons. This is perhaps the only area where the slot lets players down.

There are three different bonus symbols represented by the headless people. You'll need three identical ones to trigger the bonus round. This presents rows of burlap sacks, the Vessel of choice for the helpless victims heads. You choose from these sacks to reveal bonus multipliers and continue to do so until the word finish is found. If you find the word finish with your first choice you will win all hidden multipliers.

Our Take on Sleepy Hollow

The slot uses an awesome theme and it includes graphics and various sound effects to match. We'd have liked a more impressive bonus game, as the one provided is a little lackluster, although for a pick me style game can pay well. The prizes are good too, with the maximum jackpot paying $125,000 - just make sure you don't lose your head in the process ;-).
