If there’s an ideal time to play a Halloween-themed online slot then it is of course around October and November but why restrict yourself to that particular season? Especially if it’s as good as Pumpkin Smash, this release from Yggdrasil Gaming which also hints at the Mexican Day of the Dead.

Pumpkin Smash is a five reel slot with three rows, twenty fixed paylines and those reels spin on the ornate, stone gates of a graveyard on which stand a multitude of candles – all extinguished.

The four higher value symbols are Day of the Dead-style skulls – red, purple, green and blue while the lower values are similarly coloured playing card icons.

The wild symbol is a big, gold ‘Wild’ adorned with tiny skulls and it will replace all others to form winning combos except for the pumpkin bonus icon.
