Haunted Crypt – What Is This Slot?
Haunted Crypt, developed by Pragmatic Play and released on 2 March 2026, is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot with 20 fixed paylines. In this game, all Wilds are equipped with multipliers ranging from ×2 to ×10 and any wins they help form will receive the multiplier value. Any multipliers on Wilds that land in the same winning line will add up to one another in the overall win calculation, transforming what could be a mediocre win into a more substantial one.
The Value / Speed mode switch to the right of the reels is a nice touch. In Value mode it switches to the standard mode of play. In Speed mode the frequency of Free Spins is increased while base game payouts decrease slightly, though the pay per spin remains the same. The game also highlights certain spaces on the reels with values that accumulate over the course of the Free Spins round, and as the Wilds create more winning combinations, these values increase dramatically.
How to Play Haunted Crypt
- Select Value or Speed mode — Speed gives faster Free Spins triggers, Value is the default setting.
- Set your bet between €0.20 and €240 per spin.
- Spin the 5×3 reels — winnings pay left to right on all 20 fixed paylines.
- Wild symbols change into any other symbol and come with a multiplier of ×2 to ×10. Multipliers on each Wild are added together.
- 3 scatter symbols pay out 10 Free Spins. An additional +5 spins are awarded if 3 scatters fall again during Free Spins.
- During Free Spins, all Wilds that land will mark their reel position. From the next spin onwards, any multiplier at marked positions increases by +1 for every spin they remain marked.
- Wager Super Spin 1 (20×) or Super Spin 2 (100×) on highlighted positions from spin one, or place a Bonus Buy at 100× / 500× to immediately trigger Free Spins.

Free Spins – Multipliers Build
Three scatter symbols anywhere on the reels trigger 10 Free Spins. The highlighted position system activates: when a Wild lands it saves the position, and on the next spin the multiplier on that specific position increases by +1. If another Wild lands on the same position, the saved multiplier is applied to all winning lines it forms part of.
If a Wild lands on an already-marked position, the entire line of positions is marked with a +1 multiplier for that specific spin. 3 scatters in Free Spins awards an additional +5 Free Spins. The 500× Super Free Spins buy adds a ×2–×10 generic multiplier to the entire board of highlighted values whenever a Wild lands.
| Trigger | Spins Awarded | Retrigger |
|---|---|---|
| 3 Scatters | 10 Free Spins | +5 spins per 3 scatters |
| Bonus Buy 100× | Standard Free Spins | Yes |
| Bonus Buy 500× | Super Free Spins (general ×2–×10 multiplier) | Yes |
