Play'n GO launches new Halloween-themed slot title Count Jokula

Gaming provider Play'n GO announced Friday it has released a new title called Count Jokula. This new game is described by the company as "a cobweb-filled coven of fear," and is the latest instalment in the company's expansive Joker series. 

The game's story ventures into the castle of Count Jokula, where players are left to question whether they are being played with their minds, or if "something spooky lurks in the shadows," the provider said of the game's theme.

Count Jokula is a classic slot that boasts two unique features" to propagate engaging gameplay fit for a wide range of players." The game's objective is to match three symbols to reveal a trick, "or maybe even a treat."

The Shapeshifter feature is a twist on classic slot mechanics. Symbols are transformed into bat-themed Wilds on non-winning spins to aid in creating winning paylines.

The game's Re-Spin mechanic also awards the player up to seven Re-Spins, increasing the Multiplier with every Re-Spin. If a player achieves a winning combination with Count Jokula present in the middle of the reels, the Re-Spins of Evil are triggered.

"Count Jokula is set to be another standout chapter in the Play'n GO Joker series as well as a Halloween hit, following on from this year's Valentine's Day-themed title, Love Joker," Play'n GO stated

The company's Head of Games, Charlotte Miliziano, said: "We listen to our fans, and Play'n GO aims to tailor the gaming experience to what the current climate asks of us. With Halloween right around the corner, it was only right to commemorate our Joker series with its first horror title."

"There's lots to love about the game – from the vintage-inspired aesthetic and the character design, so much Count Jokula. The simple layout paired with the Re-Spin feature is truly something special," she concluded.
