One of those slots that was definitely created because somebody thought up a pun, as opposed to there being a slot concept before there was a title, it has to be admitted that Polterheist developed by NextGen is an excellent name for a slot.As the name suggests, this is a slot game that combines the themes of the Wild West, and ghosts, something that hasn’t been done before in the slot world, but is that for good reason?

About the slot,

With five reels and 100 paylines, Polterheist is a NextGen Gaming slot playable from 50p to £125 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.The design here is impressive, combining the two concepts with style and creating an entertaining look as a result.It’s a shame that the lower value symbols on the reels still fall back on the traditional 10, J, Q, K, and A filler image approach, but there are five ghosts playing the higher values, with wonderful names such as Eli Emerald, Pinkie Parsons, and more.The most lucrative ghost cowboy (that’s a fun collection of words) is the creatively named Goldie Goldrush, who pays out 10x your stake for a full payline.

Gameplay

The Haunted Dead symbol is the wild here, and the randomly triggered Haunted Wilds feature can add extra wilds to the middle three reels during the base game.Ghosts can also appear randomly during the base game to add stacks of ghost symbols in the Ghost break-In feature.Land three or more scatter symbols to trigger the Free Spins feature, which is the centrepiece of Polterheist, you will receive eight free spins with a multiplier of up to 5x on all wins, while additional scatters will trigger more spins indefinitely.This is a fun slot with a lot going on, and some big wins possible in the Free Spins feature.
