Game Overview

Out of all of the so-called “monsters”, I always felt that poor old Frankenstein gets the baddest rap. I mean, in most of the movies I’ve seen him in, he doesn’t appear to be too bad a chap, considering he’s mainly constructed of random parts. Anyway, he’s got a chance to paint himself in a new light today as we explore the Frightening Frankie slot from Pragmatic Play, a 5-reel game with 20 paylines, free spins, and a maximum win of 2,800x the bet.

Theme & Design

Frankenstein was made in a laboratory, so it makes perfect sense that Pragmatic Play chose that setting for the gameplay to unfold, and in true style of the tier-one studio, both the graphics and animations are fantastic, with the slot having a real Vegas feel to it.

Before we get into the bonuses and features, it’s time for some recommendations, and I’m going to stick with a Halloween theme and send you in the direction of Big Bass Halloween 3, and The Count slot, developed by Hacksaw Gaming.

Frightening Frankie Gameplay & Features

Pragmatic Play’s Frightening Frankie is a 5-reel, 3-row online slot game with 20 fixed paylines and variable RTP models ranging from a low of 94.53% to a high of 96.53%. The slot is incredibly budget-friendly, and low rollers will be delighted to see a minimum entry point of €0.05 a spin, whilst high rollers can opt to play as high as €250 a press.

Onto the features next, and the base game in Frightening Frankie doesn’t offer much up in the form of entertainment, with your only real shot at winning glory coming via the wild symbols, which can land in stacks and pay you handsomely if you get lucky.

That just leaves the free spins round to discuss, which is triggered when 3, 4, or 5 scatters appear in view, awarding 10, 15, or 20 spins, respectively. Once activated, you’ll begin the bonus with a 2x win multiplier, and each time you fill the test tube meter at the top of the reels, you’ll receive a spin of the multiplier wheel at the bottom of the screen (which adds the amount to your current value) and 10 extra free spins.

Bonus Buy

Enhanced betting options can be used in Frightening Frankie, which are:

  • Ante Bet: Extra chance of landing scatters – Costs 2x the base bet.
  • Free Spins: Costs 100x the base bet.

Pros

  • A fun Halloween theme that is well-presented.
  • Playable from only €0.05 a spin.
  • Stacked wilds can help produce some good wins.

Cons

  • Low max win of 2,800x.
  • Without any extra multipliers in the free spins, it's a tough ask to win anything good.
  • Just a watered-down version of Big Bass.

Frightening Frankie Slot Review Final Thoughts

Frightening Frankie might be a Halloween-themed slot looking to appeal to those around the holiday period, but when you strip back the theme, this is just another game with a variation of the mechanics used in the Big Bass franchise. That's fine if you enjoy those slots, but for those looking for something different this Halloween, you'll probably want to give this a miss.
