Pumpkin Smash

Yggdrasil has been in the business for a long time, and this isn’t their first time creating a game that captures the imagination of slot gamers. The Pumpkin Smash slot mainly draws influence from the Mexican Day of the Dead theme, but there are some elements of Halloween in it too.

Although the maximum potential payout of up to 1,000 coins is much lower than the average of slot games here at LeoVegas, the unique design idea, its developer being Yggdrasil, and the theme all help it to stand out.

The game has been on the market since 2017, and although it’s not Yggdrasil’s most notable title, it still attracts an audience here at LeoVegas. As you’d expect, all the higher-paying symbols involve skulls. The lower-paying symbols include the Ace, King, Queen and Jack. The Pumpkin Smash slot game features 20 fixed paylines and a conventional reel layout of 5x3.

The Pumpkin Smash online slot has a pretty conventional base game. It’s not too heavy on the bonus features either, but the Smash the Pumpkin Free Spins bonus round has a lot of intriguing twists and characteristics that set it apart from a standard Free Spins bonus round.

If you land two or more Bonus Pumpkin symbols, you’ll be transported to a separate minigame, where the autoplay takes over and smashes open the pumpkins. There’s a coin feature on one side, and on the right-hand side there are Free Spins. With each pumpkin smash, the coins fill, and you can unlock up to 10 Free Spins. With each spin, the winning amount in this Yggdrasil slot increases and tallies up at the bottom of the screen.

The Skull symbols are the key to unlocking a big Pumpkin Smash slot game win. Green and Purple Skull symbols appear more often and will trigger a multiplier in the base game and the bonus game if you match three or more on one of the 20 fixed paylines.

The best way to land a win is to trigger the Smash the Pumpkin bonus round, as the multiplier symbols can lead to an even higher jackpot. You can still unlock these same multipliers in the base game, but the multiplier won’t be as impressive.

Ultimately, any Skull symbol match on a payline will payout more than your initial stake, and increases with a multiplier or during the bonus feature game.

To play the Pumpkin Smash video slot, all you need to do is deposit your funds, toggle the number of paylines in the box on the bottom left-hand side, select your coin value and then press spin, which is the purple button in the bottom centre. The game is just as easy to play on iOS and Android smartphones, as well as tablets, laptops and PCs.

Given that the slot gaming world is moving at a lightning pace, a game released in 2017 can sometimes feel old and of its time. For a Day of the Dead-themed game, the overall feel is quite relaxed, and the colours are bright and vivid, which isn’t something you usually see from a game that focuses on this type of theme. It has Mexicana-style guitar instruments, with each spin moving at a steady tempo.

Yggdrasil has dozens of titles available at LeoVegas, and some of their most highly rated offerings include Defenders of Mystica, Vikings Go To Valhalla and Time Travel Tigers.

If Day of the Dead-themed games are something you enjoy, one of the most popular games within this theme includes Pragmatic Play’s Day of Dead. However, if you’re after a more generic Mexican-themed game, there’s ELK Studio’s Taco Brothers and Synot’s 243 Mexicana.
