Horror Hotel Slot Review

Horror Hotel Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Horror Hotel slot is played on a 6×6 grid with a Cluster Pays mechanic. Winning clusters (or combinations) are made up of 5 or more matching symbols appearing adjacent to one another. The more symbols in the cluster, the larger the payout. Quite popular in recent years, there’s a full allocation of grid slots available here at Online-Slot.co.uk.

Bet options range from 10p to £50 a spin. There is a ‘Bet’ box below the grid with plus and minus buttons either side. Click/press these to change your stake. If you click on the actual bet amount, a scrolling menu appears.

Non UK players can benefit from an Autoplay function where unlimited autospins can be selected, along with single win, loss and win limits. Also, players outside the UK can spin faster with the use of the Turbo Mode (available from the Settings section).

The Horror Hotel RTP is 96.17% which is above the 96% average for an online slot game. Volatility wise, it’s very high and ranked as 5/5. This is typical of Relax Gaming slots. The hit frequency rate is 16.1% meaning a win will land every 6.2 spins on average.

When it comes to payouts, the Horror Hotel slot offers 20,000 x bet max wins. Winning big will come from the free spins where mystery symbols combine with a progressive multiplier.

Theme – do you dare spend a night in this creepy hotel?

With a horror theme, the Horror Hotel slot is based in Transylvania. Classic imagery forms the backdrop with a castle/hotel and graveyard making up the setting. With an eerie soundtrack, there’s a full moon ensuring a creepy and sinister atmosphere. Graphically, it has a real classic cartoon feel.

On the 6×6 grid, low value symbols include 3 different potions (red, green and blue) with pay up to 500 x bet. The 4 higher value symbols are represented by a mummy, werewolf, Frankenstein and Count Dracula. With 3 of them paying up to 1,500 x bet, Count Dracula is the best paying symbol by some distance. 35 or more in a cluster will reward you with a 5,000 x bet payout.

There is a W Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols. The other symbol to look out for is the Skull Service Bell Bonus Scatter symbol which is key to triggering the Free Spins feature.

Horror Hotel Mobile

Produced with HTML5 technology, the Horror Hotel grid slot has been optimised for play on mobile, PC, laptop and tablet devices. With high-definition graphics, smartphone players can enjoy this game on iOS, Android and Windows devices.

Horror Hotel Bonus Features

The Horror Hotel slot has 4 bonus features. There is a randomly triggered Mystery Symbol feature which converts mystery symbols and awards a re-spin. This applies during the Free Spins feature but also increases the progressive multiplier each time it’s activated.

Mystery Symbol feature

The Mystery Symbol feature is randomly activated on any winning base game spin. When it triggers, the winning cluster converts into mystery symbols and drop to the bottom of the grid. With a re-spin awarded, all non-winning symbols are destroyed too.

If a new cluster win is created, the feature is retriggered when another re-spin awarded. It can also apply if a non-converted symbol is part of a win from the mystery symbols reveal.

Free Spins feature

Landing 3 or more Skull Bonus Scatter symbols will trigger the Free Spins feature. You then enter the hotel. 5 free spins are awarded for 3 scatters plus 1 extra free spin won for every extra scatter. Once in, 1 extra wild symbol is awarded for each free spin.

Importantly, the Mystery Symbol feature applies but there’s the addition of a Progressive Multiplier feature. Before any win converts to mystery symbols, the multiplier increases by 1. Every scatter you lands adds 1 more free spin to your tally, with no limits.

Finally, players outside the UK can opt for the Buy feature. Costing 100 x your total bet, you can buy your way into the Free Spins feature. As a result, you’ll also play with a higher 96.5% RTP rate.

Horror Hotel Review Summary – mystery symbols key to big wins

With a classic horror feel, the Horror Hotel slot looks great and features popular characters such as Frankenstein and Count Dracula. I like how the character symbols come to life when part of a winning cluster.

In terms of gameplay, it’s a traditional grid slot with a couple of tweaks. Offering no cascading wins or avalanches, random mystery symbol see them fall to the bottom of the grid and transform into a random symbol. If you manage to get a few winning clusters and the Mystery Symbol feature triggers, it could lead to a large number of symbols transforming into the same symbol.

This applies during the free spins but each transformation increasing the progressive multiplier by 1 each time. With 20,000 x bet max wins, you need to get plenty of mystery symbols and re-spins to build up the multiplier. If you’re a non-UK player, the Buy feature will certainly be appealing (it costs 100 x bet).

In summary, the Horror Hotel slot will give you plenty of scares and hopefully big payouts. It’s a little thin on the bonus features front but still a worth grid slot to try. If you like grid slots, Nolimit City’s The Border and Relax Gaming’s Cluster Tumble would be my picks.
