Software provider’s spooktacular new slot serves up a haunting selection of features just in time for Halloween, with Free Spins, re-spins and colossal symbols all joining the party

This Halloween, Swintt is inviting players to don their dancing cape, shake their bones and strut their stuff on the haunted dancefloor of Monster Disco XtraHold^TM– a brand-new Select slot that comes packed with ghoulishly good features and a spooktacular RTP of 94.97%

Played out across a 5×4 reel matrix with 25 win lines, Monster Disco XtraHold^TM sees the denizens of the night shuffle out on the tiles to show off their moves. Unique symbols in the game include Dracula, a grinning ghost and various other undead disco dwellers, with a glowing mausoleum and tombstones depicting the classic ace-through-jack playing card values completing the regular base game line-up.

Special symbols to look out for include the Monster Disco XtraHold^TM gold vinyl disc with a bite taken out of it and the super scatter symbol, with the former arguably being the most profitable in the game and the latter increasing the excitement by not only acting as a wild that substitutes for any regular base game symbol to complete winning lines, but landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters also activates 5, 8 or 10 Free Spins respectively.

During the Free Spins feature, the game’s central three reels will be merged to create a giant 3×4 Mega Symbol, with this making it infinitely easier to land five-of-a-kind combos and trigger the slot’s huge pay-outs. Not only that, but landing three or more additional scatter symbols will also re-trigger the Free Spins, thereby prolonging the bonus feature and helping players to even more wins.

The gold vinyl disc symbol, meanwhile, will activate the game’s signature XtraHold^TM feature – a bonus that first debuted in Mystic Bear XtraHold^TM to great player acclaim earlier this year. In order to trigger this lucrative extra, players will need to land at least six gold discs anywhere on the reels, at which point they’ll all around spin to reveal cash prizes and an initial batch of three re-spins will be awarded.

During the XtraHold^TM feature, the re-spins counter will reduce by one after each new round, but landing any subsequent gold disc will see it reset as players continue spinning. This process will carry on until either no new vinyls are added, or players successfully fill all 20 reel spaces – at which point the Monster Disco Mega Bonus prize of 10,000 x bet will be awarded.

David Mann, Chief Executive Office at Swintt, said: “To get players in the mood to raise some hell this Halloween, Swintt are inviting all slot wizards, witches and warlocks to come and shake their stuff on the haunted dancefloor of Monster Disco XtraHold^TM – a spooky new slot in the Swintt Select range.
“Boasting the popular XtraHold^TM mechanic that we debuted a few months ago in Mystic Bear XtraHold^TMand a Free Spins feature that comes with colossal 3×4 Mega Symbols, the slot promises all players a ghoulishly good time and a series of monster prizes that are large enough to wake the dead!”
