How to Play Castle of Terror Slot 

Castle of Terror is certainly a different style of game, and BTG has done a wonderful job of setting the mood with its beautiful and detailed design. The game can be played with as little as 20¢ to $15 per spin. The math model is quite variable, as is typical for BTG, and the RTP ranges from 96.72% to 96.73% depending on whether or not the player purchases a bonus. 

When identical symbols land on neighboring reels from left to right, the player gets a payout. Like most real-money slot machines Castle of Terror comes with standard game controls. Also, there are low and high-paying symbols in the game. The suit cards make up the low end of the paytable, returning 0.3x to 0.5x your wager. The high-paying symbols are the four characters—the Gardener, Maid, Gentleman and Lady. Landing six of these symbols can pay between  0.6x and 50x your stake.

Castle of Terror Slot Visuals and Sounds

Castle of Terror is set on the backdrop of a lovely old castle, sitting all by itself on a hill on a bright morning. If you wish to explore the area and meet the locals, you'll find kind folks during the day. Once the full moon hits, however, they'll change into bloodthirsty monsters. If you're aware of the benefits of Wild Holy Water, you'll get an enormous reward for putting an end to these vampires.

As the name suggests, you can tell this game carries a horror theme. Big Time Gaming put a lot into the game's design and theme. You'll appreciate the game's aesthetics and will certainly have a fantastic gaming experience.

Special Features of Castle of Terror Slot

One thing you can expect from Castle of Terror Slot are its unique features. You'll find a good number of them but these ones stand out:

Holy Water Feature 

Holy Water is a random feature in the main game that causes liquid to be splattered across the center four reels. When triggered, the Gardener, Maid, Gentleman and Lady will all become a Wild if they appear in two or more spots. For every non-wild symbol that is transformed into a wild symbol, the win multiplier for that spin goes up by 1. After a wild transformation has taken place, the winnings are tallied and the multiplier is reset for the next spin.

Free Spins 

There are two scatter symbols in Castle of Terror: the standard Silver Castle Scatter and the more valuable Gold Castle Scatter. If you get a combination of three scatters anywhere on the reels, it triggers 12 free spins with an additional 3 spins awarded for each additional scatter. Enhanced Free Spins are granted if the Gold Castle Scatter was used in the combo of scatters that triggered the feature.

Also, Holy Water is activated on every spin, and the progressive win multiplier is active during both free spin bonus rounds. The standard free spin bonus begins with an x1 win multiplier and rises by +1 for each consecutive Gardener, Maid, Gentleman or Lady that becomes a wild.

The multiplier in Enhanced Free Spins is x2 and goes up by +2 every time a high-paying symbol is turned into a Wild.

If the win multiplier in any game exceeds x20, an extra +6 free spins will be added.

Buy Feature

In addition, players can use the Buy Feature to purchase either standard free spins (for 70x the bet) or enhanced free spins (for 200x the bet).

Win Exchange

You may also try your luck to get free spins by using the Win Exchange. First, whenever a player's win is 100x their bet or greater, they have the option to trade that win for 12 extra spins by paying a value equal to 100x their stake. Alternatively, when the player receives a payout of 25x to 100x their wager, they have the option to gamble their prize for a shot at 12 free spins. Free spins are awarded when a spinning wheel stops on a green section. If it stops on a red square, the original win is lost and no free spins are awarded.

Is Castle of Terror a Good Slot?

For those who enjoy classic horror, Castle of Terror is a must-play. Symbols become Wilds as the inhabitants of the Castle are revealed to be vampires thanks to the Holy Water feature, which fits in well with the theme. The game's high RTP of 96.72% is outstanding, and so is the design. 

It's possible to win up to 29,690x in the regular game, which seems implausible, but you'll immediately see how the massive gain of 61,720X the bet is attainable in the bonus game when the constant win multiplier applies. If you're looking for a horror-themed slot machine to play and want something with an immersive experience, you should play this Big Time Gaming slot on FanDuel.
