BGaming is completing its five-game Halloween release this week, with the final title, “Noche de Almas,” debuting Tuesday, Oct. 20. The lineup includes Halloween versions of “Aviamasters 2” and “Chicken Shot,” along with three new slots.
The online casino games span all three of the studio’s game worlds, which BGaming calls Classic, Casual and Entertainment. They are meant to give operators fresh seasonal content during one of the year’s busiest periods.
Holiday collections have become routine for BGaming. In the past 12 months, it has released sets for Christmas, Oktoberfest, Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year, in addition to last year’s Halloween set. Each collection is built around an upcoming holiday and gives operators content that matches seasonal player demand.
BGaming’s Halloween-themed slot launches
“Witchcraft Riches,” a high-volatility Entertainment online slot developed with GammaPlay Studios, launched first. It offers multipliers, cascading wins and free spins.
“Chicken Halloween” followed Oct. 14. It reworks the Casual title “Chicken Shot,” turning the chickens into Halloween and horror characters.
“Aviamasters 2 Halloween” arrived Oct. 15. The pilot is now a pumpkinhead, ghosts replace the rockets and the tropical setting takes on a haunted look.
“Aviamasters 2” launched earlier this year as the sequel to BGaming’s original “Aviamasters,” which became the studio’s biggest viral hit in the Casual category after gaining a following on streaming channels, iGaming Business reported.
The sequel raised the maximum multiplier from 250 times to 1,000 times and added improved graphics and new features. BGaming’s game producer said the studio kept what players loved about the original, including the landing mechanic.
“Spider Circus Hold and Win,” a horror-inspired Classic slot, launched Oct. 19. Its spider-themed collection mechanic is paired with playful circus animations. BGaming describes spiders and circuses as among the fastest-growing themes in online casinos.
“Noche de Almas,” a high-volatility Entertainment slot inspired by Día de los Muertos, completes the set Tuesday.
“Noche de Almas” also introduces Real Deal, a mechanic new to BGaming’s catalog. Players can buy a bundle of 500 spins at a lower price than regular spins. The spins play out automatically in the background, and the game then reveals the three best results, from lowest to highest.
A demo of “Witchcraft Riches” is available now. Demos of the other four games are posted on bgaming.com as each one goes live.
Alekseeva spotlights the Spider Circus slot
Julia Alekseeva, BGaming’s chief product officer, said earlier seasonal sets drew strong feedback from operators and players. Yogonet reported she singled out one new game, calling “Spider Circus Hold and Win” “perhaps the most eye-grabbing title in the set.”
She said it draws on two of the industry’s most popular themes and reflects the style that has made the Classic world a hit with players.
Halloween online slots window narrows for operators
With the final release arriving Tuesday, operators have less than two weeks to add the games before Halloween on Saturday, Oct. 31.
The mix of new originals, familiar franchises and a new spin-bundle format gives them options for different player groups. How players respond to Real Deal, and whether the Halloween versions of “Aviamasters 2” and “Chicken Shot” can match their originals, will be the first test of the set.
