Betsoft Gaming Invites Players to Hit the Halloween Jackpot in a Rags to Witches Adventure
The witching hour is close at hand in Betsoft’s latest 5 reel, 30 payline mega jackpot release, Rags to Witches. In addition to the Multiplier Free Spins round, the stunning Prize Reel feature gives a bubbling cauldron of explosive Progressive Jackpot wins. From Mini to Mega, let the Betsoft witches make this Halloween a treat to remember!
Enter the graveyard if you dare. A beckoning hand reaches out from the earth inviting you to spin the reels as the Jack O’ Lanterns glimmer with Halloween light. Showcasing Betsoft’s usual stunning graphics, Rags to Witches symbols include the Halloween classics of bats, cats, candles and sweeties. The high paying Witch and Skeleton bring big returns but even the numerals and letters offer above average payouts.
Winning combinations come in all directions in Rags to Witches with the Jack O’ Lantern pumpkin Wild appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4. The Wild can substitute for all symbols bar the Scatter. When you win with the Wild, fire flashes from the pumpkin’s eye for a super scary twist to the fun.
Betsoft keeps tricks and treats coming fast in this immersive slot. Rags to Witches brings a spectacular in-game progressive jackpot prize reel into play. Mini, Minor, Major and Mega prizes are up for grabs when the feature randomly triggers in the base game once all the reels have stopped spinning. The current value of each of the progressive jackpots is shown on the screen to keep players’ eyes on the prize!
The chance of triggering the feature rises with the size of bet placed. Once a player has won the progressive Jackpot, the on screen counter resets to the latest prize pool value. Should the Prize Reel feature trigger simultaneously with Free Spins, the Prize Reel will take precedence.
The Witch’s House symbol is the Scatter triggering Free Spins. And with the Free Spins round come the some of the biggest Halloween treats around. With an explosion of flames, the door to the witch’s house bursts open to reveal a second screen, taking players inside her manor and to the heart of the magical wins. 5 Scatters will not only bring 10 Free Spins but an Increasing Multiplier applied to each spin. 5 Scatters give 1x on the first spin rising to 10x on the last spin; 6 scatters give 2x – 20x; and 7 Scatters pay out a whopping 3x – 30x your win.
With 3355.5x max bet, (excluding the progressive jackpot), to be had, the win potential is spectacular in the well named Rags to Witches. An above average 96.21% RTP and hit rate in the base game of 31.52% make this very high volatility slot one of the biggest treats this Halloween.
Rags to Witches is also available in a non-jackpot version.
Anastasia Bauer, Head of Account Management at Betsoft Gaming, said: “Betsoft has invested in re-designing a jackpot system with amazing results in Rags to Witches. The concept is to offer seamless delivery within a spectacular seasonal slot. The smoothness of play alongside the lively graphics and atmospheric soundtrack, coupled with the very substantial win potential, all add up to make this a fantastic slot in every sense of the word.”
