The machine is set in a creepy den with a 5×3 layout, crossed by 20 paylines and is packed with spooky features and horrifying bonus rounds. In a good way, of course.
The graphics are superb, and the haunting soundtrack adds more suspense to every spin. This slot tells the scary tale of a young girl who has discovered a cursed jewelry box, which forces her to do unspeakable things.
When she wants to get rid of the box, she unleashes evil powers, bringing big payouts to all the players who are not too scared to give this ominous slot a try.
The slot comes with High Volatility and a theoretical RTP of 96.28%, which allows obtaining a positive mathematical expectation of winning in the casino, but at the same time is not close to the highest numbers of other NetEnt’s machines.

Review and recommendations about the Halloween Jack slot from the testers’ team
This is one beautifully crafted by NetEnt’s designers game, where all symbols – the Vampiress and the Bloody eyed Horse, the Bat and the Raven, The Horseshoe, the lighted Lantern and the blazing Pumpkin, the 3 Cursed Jewelry Box symbols, and the Jack”o” lector – during the Free Spins – all of them are attuned with the Halloween horror theme.
- We theorize that this machine will attract mostly people fearless of nightmares, terror, skeletons, and evil, but anyone who will launch the game must be ready to embark on the dark world of ghosts and witches’ craft.
- We had a scary good time testing Halloween Jack, especially because it looks crazy beautiful and the soundscape is great. Only time will show if the clone will sustain its popularity for as long as the Jack and the Beanstalk machine or as long as the other Halloween-themed slots from NetEnt.
- All things considered, the gameplay elements of the original slot and the clone remain the same – with the Walking Wilds and the bonus game structure.
- Regardless, it just cannot keep the balance steady for a long time. In comparison with Jack-the-boy- here you can have re-spins less often. But once they happen, they grant expensive combinations, compensating for the interval with empty spins.
- This machine can issue massive winnings. There are opportunities to reward in the bonus round, for example, is of 1000x and even 1200x total bets easily.
- This slot often gives out bonus features, but mostly via the average reward, which is small. When we tested Jack and the Beanstalk slot, we reached the 9 Expanding Golden Harps a few times, which paid out big time. The Halloween Jack slot seems stingier, so it rarely reaches the 3rd step with 9 Lanterns during the Free Spins, which triggers the Expanding Death Reaper Wild. Although during our testing, we were lucky enough to hit it once, and we landed some serious cash, more than 1000x+ total bets.
- Overall, it is an entertaining slot (like the original game it emerged from), with a really realizable max winning potential, compared to many other slots we have tested.

How to win at the Halloween Jack slot? (Conclusion)
- We will again mention the priority of testing the game in DEMO mode before playing for real money.
- We recommend this slot to bonus hunters, but we strongly suggest choosing a minimum stake (or around) to complete the wagering requirements.
- To play the Halloween Jack slot, we also advise you to find famous online casinos with many currently operating players (reflecting at the piling prize pool) if you chase the bonus money wagering and verify the slot mood first (‘hot’ or ‘cold’). If you find after 100 spins, you must leave this slot, there is no bankroll improvement (i.e. the machine is cold).
- This slot is appropriate for playing with real money with the same concern- prior check if ‘hot’ or ‘cold.’
- The recommended lowest level of starting balance is around 150x-200x bets. You should aim to endure until the bonus Free Spins, where is exhibited the full potential of the slot.
- You need poise and capital while waiting for the bonus feature because it can be triggered after many spins (even 480-500) if the machine is ‘cold.’
- If it is your lucky day and the slot is ‘hot,’ keep going for a while. There is a reasonably big chance that the bonus will reoccur shortly. But if there is no good outcome after a well-paid bonus and some 50 more spins, just change the slot.
