About Peek-a-Boo
Microgaming’s Peek-a-Boo video slot is certainly going to catch many players’ attentions. Peek-a-Boo can actually be played as a 3-reel or 5-reel video slot. We are actually only interested in the 5-reel version here. The game features very cheesy monster and ghouls, and is quite the stereotypical Halloween themed slot machine game. Peek-a-Boo allows players to play with 5 reels and up to 1,024 paylines. However, those paylines will only be present during the bonus round. During the base game, the number of paylines is fixed at 40 lines. Wagers tend to vary from a low of 0.40 per spin, up to a more expensive 100.00 per spin. Players can expect to win as much as 10,000 coins in total with this non-progressive video slot.
Special Features
There is a wild symbol in the Peek-a-Boo slot, and it is represented by the Peek-a-Boo logo. This wild symbol can replace all others in the game, with the exception of the scatter icon. Wilds can appear stacked on the screen and they can appear super stacked during the bonus round on the fourth and fifth reels of the slot.
Ghost icons appear as bonus triggering symbols. Players need to land at least 10 ghosts on the reels in order to trigger the bonus round. It is possible to land up to 13. Any ghosts you find will be “zapped” and sent into the Ghost Meter – Ghostbusters, anyone? Once you have enough, the free spins bonus round will begin.
Bonus Feature
Like we’ve said, the free spins bonus round will see wild symbols which will be super stacked on the fourth and fifth reels of the slot. The free spins bonus cannot be retriggered so you must make the most of what you are given with this feature. Fortunately, there is a lot to like. In the free spins bonus round, there are 1,024 paylines for starters. Moreover, the fourth and fifth reels can re-spin to bolster your chances of landing winnings. All you have to do is land a 3-symbol combo on the first here reels to trigger the re-spins.
Peek-a-Boo isn’t going to be everybody’s cup of tea, but this Halloween themed slot certainly has charm, and keeps everything dead simple (no pun intended), making it ideal for newbies. There is no question of it being a step up from its 3-reele Peek-a-Boo sister slot.
