Freaks of Folklore Slots
Freaks of Folklore slots is a horror slot with some very creepy symbols, including a baby Cupid that we’re not convinced anyone could find cute and cuddly. It’s a 5-reel bonus slot with a quartet of special features. As you play, the creepy Grim Reaper floats along the side of the reels.
We’re about to review the game’s features and payouts. Keep reading to learn more about our experience playing Freaks of Folklore.
Here’s a Breakdown of the Freaks of Folklore Paytable
Many of the payouts require three matching symbols on one of the 20 paylines before you win. Two symbols do offer a payout with only two matching symbols.
10, Jack, and Queen – 4 to 100 times your line bet
King and Ace – 10 to 200x
Berserker Bunny and Cursed Cupid – 20 to 250x
Jack o’ Lantern – 40 to 300x
Demon Goat (pays with two or more symbols) – 2 to 400x
Wild Ouija Board (pays with two or more symbols) – 2 to 500x
One symbol remains. The Bonus Spell Book triggers one of four bonus features that we’ll discuss below.
Experience All Four Bonus Features
Three, four, or five Spell Book symbols trigger one of four bonus features. The Grim Reaper selects what you get by choosing a Tarot card. The bonus features are:
Berserker Bunny Bonus – Win 3, 5, or 7 free spins, depending on how many bonus symbols triggered the feature, and the center three reels form one giant symbol. If the giant symbol is a bonus symbol, you win 3 more free spins.
Cursed Cupid Bonus – Win 5, 7, or 9 free spins, depending on how many bonus symbols triggered the feature. Coin symbols are added to the reels and award random symbols.
Demon Goat Bonus – Win 3, 4, or 5 free spins, depending on how many bonus symbols triggered the feature. Up to three expanding wilds appear.
Jack o’ Lantern Bonus – Win 8, 10, or 12 free spins, depending on how many bonus symbols triggered the feature. All low-paying symbols are removed from the reels. You can retrigger it up to three times.
Game Facts to Keep in Mind
That’s the payouts and bonus features found in Freaks of Folklore. Here’s a breakdown of the other things to keep in mind.
Game Developer – Dragon Gaming
Slot Game Theme – Horror
Game Type – 5-reel bonus slot
Paylines – 20
Game RTP – 96.9%
Hit Rate – N/A
Dragon Gaming doesn’t share the hit rate like some other game developers do. But, we test a game with 10 spins to get a basic idea. Here’s what we experienced after setting the total wager to $1 per spin.
1st Spin – 10 cents and triggered the bonus game with 8 free spins and with the low-paying symbols removed for $1 in winnings
2nd Spin - $5
3rd Spin – Random Feature Spin Bonus for $20 payout
10th spin – 20 cents
That’s a 40% hit rate, which isn’t the best we’ve seen. We gave it another test to see if the hit rate was similar. We had five winning spins out of 10 for a 50% hit rate.
Freaks of Folklore is a great game, and there’s one more reason it stands out. At any point, you can click “Buy Bonus” and automatically trigger a bonus round. It’s a 40x stake and one of the four bonus features will trigger. We tried it and were awarded 7 free spins with giant symbols, but none of the symbols landed a win.
