Halloween slots 2026, plus Day of the Dead picks

Every October, studios release games full of pumpkins, vampires and zombies. Here are thirteen, with the numbers each studio publishes. Where a number is not published, we say so.

At a glance

In the Amusnet games, the max win is measured against the bet on one line, not the total bet. That is why they cannot be compared directly with the others.

Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000

For players who already know the Big Bass series. It is Pragmatic Play's release for this October.

• RTP: 96.50%. Medium volatility. Max win: 20,000 times the bet.
• 3, 4 or 5 scatters start 10 to 20 free spins.
• First, you pick pumpkins that can give you up to five upgrades.
• The fisherman collects money symbols worth up to 1,000 times the bet.
• Every four fishermen add 10 more spins and raise the multiplier: 2x, 3x and 10x.

You can try it free on its page, with the demo. If you have never played a Big Bass game, start with the original: Big Bass Bonanza.

Watch the RTP

The RTP the studio publishes is the highest one. Many casinos run a lower version of the same game.

• Le Vampire is the clearest case: from 97% down to 86%. That is 11 points for the same game.
• Pragmatic Play games also have lower versions.
• Before playing, open the game's information menu. It shows the RTP of the version in front of you.

If this matters to you, see the slots with the highest RTP or read what volatility is.

Which one to try first

• If you want the newest: Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000.
• If you want the best RTP: Big Bass Halloween 2, at 96.71%.
• If you want calm sessions: Dancing Dead or Vampire Night.
• If you want the biggest max win: Mental. But it is the most demanding.

Always try them in demo mode first. And if you play for money, decide beforehand how much you can afford to lose.
