Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated on the night of 31 of October to the 1st of November. Originally from Ireland, it is mainly celebrated in Anglo-Saxon countries (Canada, Australia, United States and United Kingdom). Children are usually dressed in scary costumes. The children go door to door trick –or-treating. Microgaming has designed a slot game based on this popular holiday called Halloweenies. It has all the features to please Halloween fans. It has the traditional Halloween symbols such as: pumpkin, sweets and scary monster costumes (witches, Frankenstein, werewolf and skeletons). The graphics are average but still rather entertaining with a pleasant comic style. The soundtrack is good, wind, bird noises and a door slamming, all the qualities to give you goose bumps and shivers down your spine. When you obtain a wining combination, a short macabre music is played which suits the theme.
