House of Fun is one of BetSoft’s games and it’s a horror themed slot that tries to scare you, and it does a pretty good job at it. The action revolves around a pair of teens whose car broke down, so they end up at a mansion populated by freaks and monsters, while they’re looking for help. It’s not the kind of scary theme that seems cute and a pleasure to play on, so it’s more like the kind that’s actually a bit unsettling. With all kinds of scary characters inside, House of Fun looks like a lot of fun, at least if you like the genre.
For a game from BetSoft, House of Fun seems to be a normal title, with the usual set of 30 paylines placed on 5 reels. The prizes are not that high, also normal for this type of slot at BetSoft, going up to $3,750 through its regular combinations. There are scatter symbols, bonus games and free spins offered inside and in this case the list seems quite short.
Features of House of Fun
Though BetSoft has gotten us used to a lot of features and bonus games inside its 3D Slots, House of Fun doesn’t do that well in this category. There are only three features/bonus games that it offers, which is below average for them.
Jack Free Spins
The Mystery Box (with a Jack in the Box in it), the one with a question marked on it, will act as the slot’s scatter feature. Since it has this ability, you will need a minimum of three symbols scattered around the reels, without needing to consider their exact position. The free spins feature gets triggered by them and for the duration the 3rd reel will be entirely wild.
Mad Click Me Feature
The magician, or at least that’s what I think he is since he’s wearing a tall hat, will be the one to trigger a Mad Click Me feature, but you need 3+ symbols of this type on paylines 1, 2 or 3. Since that’s just 10% of the number of available paylines, the odds of getting this bonus game started don’t seem that high. This is a picking game, where you click on the options available and you get prizes. The round ends when the Collect message appears.
The Escape Bonus Game
The symbol that will get you this particular bonus round is one of the more interesting ones from the game. It has a door knocker on it that is shaped like a demon’s head, grinning at you and with long horns, while the part that you would handle hangs from his teeth. With just three of these symbols you can get the bonus game, but they all have to be on the same payline. You are taken to a screen with five doors, where you make picks in your attempt to help Jane and Paul escape.
Betting options and jackpots
The 30 bet lines from House of Fun will give you the option to use up to 150 coins on them, if you want to maximize both your chances of getting prizes and their value. The cash value is up to $150, with denominations going up to $1 and starting at $0.02.
As for the prize you can hope to get, it’s going to award 750x the line bet, or 3,750 coins. That means up to $3,750 for you, with the right five symbol combo.
Design and symbols
One of the things I’ve loved about this game is that it doesn’t try to be the cute kind of scary, with characters that are fun and easy to enjoy. This is a true horror themed slot, with unsettling characters and creatures all part of the symbols offered inside. The haunted mansion atmosphere, with statues of dogs with wings guarding the gates, is a lot of fun if you’re really into this kind of game.
Symbols: Mystery Box (scatter), Door Knocker (bonus), Man in Green Suit (150x), Man in Blue Suit (150x), Magician (120x), Gardener (90x), Cat (60x), Dog Statue (50x), Candles (50x), Portrait (30x) and Mirror (30x).
Is It Worth Playing?
House of Fun is the perfect slot game to play during Halloween, or at any other time during the year, preferably with the lights out. It’s going to be scary, fun and it’s designed perfectly.
