Just so you know, the second game release is the Wild Bazaar slot which is totally original and unique.
And yet, guess which of the two new slot games the writers in this team are most excited about? Let’s give you one big clue: it’s not the totally original and unique one.
So the Halloween Jack slot got our attention with its excellent graphics, but it was the gameplay which told us exactly which game this follows on from.
We won’t give it away straight away: if you are a true NetEnt Slothead we suspect you’ll be able to tell from watching the YouTube video.
Everything you need to know about Halloween Jack Slot
Right, here’s the promised video. It’s 2 minutes long but if you don’t want to watch it, just take a look at the image and style. You’ll get why in a moment.
So this Halloween Jack video slot wears its heart in its name.
Not only is it released just days before all hallows eve, but it has the name in the title: this is NetEnt cashing in on their Halloween slot collection.
We have to wonder about the guys over in NetEnt. They have very few Christmas slots, but lots in the Horror genre.
Clearly, that’s something for someone to investigate, but not us. We love all the ghouls and ghoulies that come out of the woodwork this time of year and love Net Entertainment for their love of the season.
This is a beautiful Pumpkin King slot game
Man look at those graphics! Look at the animations!
From the Pumpkin King as the walking wild to the vampire lady, the horseman of the apocalypse, even death himself shows up in this hellscape.
Can we just say, we love this theme? It’s gloomy, it’s dark, and it appeals to our inner goth who still watches the Nightmare Before Christmas every Halloween in preparation for the coming holiday season.
I mean, it might not be one that you’ll bring out in the height of summer when you want a happy sparkly fruit machine like the Berryburst slot, for example.
But for the coming Autumn and Winter? We are going deep into the bowels of hell with this charismatic Halloween god, that’s for sure.
Facts and stats about the Halloween Jack slot:
Right, we don’t have a whole load of information about this game, to be honest, but we can get enough information from the video to give you some key facts.

Halloween Jack is brothers with another famous Jack…
Once upon a time, a poor boy went to the market to sell a cow. Instead, he got some magic beans that gave him a wild adventure in the land of two-headed giants.
Some of you may know this little fairytale from, you know, your childhood, maybe a film, or maybe the fact this tale has been around since the 1730s.
But, obviously, almost all of you will have come across Jack and his beanstalk from one of the most popular NetEnt slot games of all time.
Love Jack and the Beanstalk slot? You’ll love Halloween Jack
Look at the stats and facts again, now read our Jack and the Beanstalk mobile slot review.
See some passing similarities perhaps?
We can’t say for sure because we haven’t been given the paytable, but we’d bet our left and our right boots that this is basically the same maths and mechanics, but with a different theme.
Many out there are selling this game as a sequel to the more famous game. But in all honesty, this is basically a copy with a far more horrific theme.
Why is NetEnt releasing two slots on October 24th?
At first, the obvious reasons was that they wanted to release a Halloween slot for the season.
But considering they’ve generally released only one a month, when they do release two, it’s because one is a copy of another.
So the When Pigs Fly slot is a copy of Reel Rush, whilst Secrets of Christmas is a copy of Secret of the Stones game.

They don’t do it often – maybe 4 to 6 times a year, where they like to release some of their more famous games with a new skin.
So the Wild Bazaar mobile game will the original release in October, and Halloween Jack will both bring in the horror crowd and fans of one of their most popular slots online.
Do we need a copy of Jack and the Beanstalk slot?
There’s never anything wrong with having a couple of copies of a great slot machine mechanics, as long as the studios don’t get lazy and do only copies.
The reason is that slot game themes matter. We play games that appeal to us visually and maybe relate to in some way.
Some themes get outdated quickly, others are ignored because few men want to be seen playing Oh My God Kittens on their commute to work.
In fact, Halloween Jack slot, despite being the copy, looks like it will be the better game that Wild Bazaar, with better wins.
And if you don’t believe us, then play on the original Jack and his giant-slaying ways. We promise after all those light fairytales, you’ll want to get dark and dirty with Halloween Jack come October 24th.
