If you like a little bit of excitement and spookiness, the Haunted House slot game by CryptoLogic can surely keep you absorbed and give you a heady adrenalin rush. The spooks combined with the prospect of significant wins are indeed a heady combination.

There is a little bit of a story associated with the Haunted House slot game. It is said that there was a house in Indiana that was the scene of a gruesome and awful mass murder. It seems the owner of the house lost his head at work one day and returned home to behead all his family members in a fit of rage. He then proceeded to hang the heads on the fence of the house and shot himself before the police arrived on the scene. It was later reported that the house became haunted and would produce the spectacle of human heads scattered about, which on closer examination would mysteriously disappear.

The Haunted House slot game draws inspiration from this tale. CryptoLogic has based its game on the story to create this 5 reels, 20 paylines slot game. If you have a sense of the macabre and would like a gentle chill up your spine, Haunted House will not disappoint. The game has icons of ghosts and other ghostly figures, but what you need to watch out for is the haunted house wild symbol that can facilitate great wins.

This game has a top prize of 5,000 coins, which is no mean quantum by any standard. You can chose coins of denominations of $0.10 to $5.00 depending on your budget and your expected payoff. This game has wild icons, scatter symbols and a bonus round to add to the intrigue and excitement.

Wild Symbol:

The Haunted House symbol is the wild symbol that can substitute itself for other symbols and also provides high returns on the paylines.

Scatter Symbol:

The doorway is the scatter symbol and presence of two or more of the ensures wins which are a multiple of the bet you have staked, even if the scatter symbol is not on a payline.

Bonus Round:

Count yourself lucky if you are able to get three icons with red borders, on reels 1,3 and 5 (odd numbered reels), because this will give you the bonus. In such an instance, all the red-bordered icons become wild symbols and add fabulously to your total wins by multiplication of the winnings by the bet per payline.
