The Count Demo Play Free Demo Slot

Game Overview

There are some online slots that have two ways they can go, especially those that fall within the Halloween/horror niche. The game providers can either take the full-on scare you to death approach or opt for a much more light-hearted release that won’t have you chewing the ends of your fingernails off. Thankfully, for my own sanity at least, today’s slot has been developed in a cartoon style, so let me introduce you to The Count from Hacksaw Gaming, a 5-reel game with 19 fixed paylines, multiplying wilds, and a maximum win of 12,500x the bet.

Theme & Design

Hacksaw is a studio that has the ability to create fun-themed online slots or ones that have a more serious adult design to them, so often, until you open the game up, you can’t quite be sure what you’re going to get. As I mentioned in the intro, the provider went for a more dialled-down approach to this Halloween-themed slot, and we get to meet two more cool-looking Hacksaw Characters, with The Count to the right of the reels and his skeleton friend, complete with tophat to the left.

As you’ll know by now, this is the part where I give you some more game recommendations, and as I’ve mentioned that Hacksaw can go the other way with regard to the scare factor, it makes sense to mention those titles and let you give them a try. Okay, so once you’re done with The Count today, make a move over to our Rotten demo or the really spooky The Wildwood Curse demo, which is sure to have you hiding behind your hands at some stage.

The Count Gameplay & Features

Hacksaw Gaming’s The Count is a 5-reel, 5-row online slot with 19 fixed paylines and a return to player percentage of 96.36%. Players have good options for placing bets with stakes ranging from a minimum of €0.10 a spin to a maximum of €75.

Let’s get into those all-important features, and The Count is a slot game that relies heavily on wilds. These start with the inclusion of the Expanded Blood Wild, which expands downwards when they are part of a winning combo and can have multipliers of up to 500x attached to them. Next, we have the more common Wild Bat symbols, which can land with multipliers of up to 500x attached, and finally, the Epic Wild Bat, which again, can land with multiplier values of up to 500x, but this time it will spread its value to all other wilds on the reels.

At last, we get to the main bonus round, of which there are 3 variations; these are:

Bat to the Bone Free Spins

Activate this bonus with 10 free spins by landing 3 FS scatter symbols at the same time during the base game.

This bonus game keeps the base game’s mechanics, increasing the chance of landing Wild Bat symbols! The minimum multiplier value in this bonus is 2x.

Rest in Pieces Free Spins

Activate this bonus with 10 free spins by landing 4 FS scatter symbols at the same time during the base game.

This bonus game keeps the base game’s mechanics. Additionally, a progressive Symbol Counter is displayed outside the grid, with 5 sections linked to each of the 5 low-paying symbols. Each time that low-paying symbol creates a win, one section fills up on the corresponding Symbol Counter. When all 5 sections are full, it activates on the next free spin, replacing all corresponding low-paying symbols with Wild Bat symbols for the rest of the bonus! The minimum multiplier value in this bonus is 2x.

Count on Blood Free Spins

The Hidden Epic Bonus keeps the mechanics of the REST IN PIECES bonus with an increased chance of landing Epic Wild Bat symbols! Guaranteed at least 5 Wild Bat symbols on each spin!
