How to Play Pragmatic's Haunted Crypt slot

Fariha Bhatti Published 20/03/2026

Pragmatic Play’s Haunted Crypt can be rewarding if you can get past the horror theme that can actually be a bit scary when paired with the sound design.

Pragmatic’s off-season horror release brings Draculas back in fashion. Set in some abandoned graveyard as the base background, the slot is all about bats, vampires, and the dead. Players will eventually see better backdrops as they progress, but they are all on the theme, so no surprises there. Symbols, however, are visually appealing with a weird mix of aliens, king, queen, and skulls. It’s confusing at first, but the haunting sound design keeps things balanced.

Haunted Crypt is a simple slot, but one that would appeal to serious bettors due to its high volatility, and additive wild multipliers.

How to play the Haunted Crypt slot

Haunted Crypt is nothing without its multipliers, so bettors are recommended to get into how those work before all else. The best way to do that is start by trying out Haunted Crypt’s free version to learn the ropes. New bettors can do that by playing the game at Roobet Casino, where fun mode is available for almost all slots, including this one.

Additive multipliers isn’t exactly a groundbreaking concept in classic slots, but it’s still one that’s become more popular among long-term bettors. In Haunted Crypt, additive multipliers are the game’s hook, so the best approach is to let the multipliers build over the spins. Once those multipliers interact with highlighted positions, that’s where the base game starts paying up.

The base game itself can be quite slow. You are mainly waiting for Wild symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4, which can land with multipliers between x2 and x10. These multipliers are additive, not multiplied together, so when two wilds land in the same winning line the values stack. For example, a x6 Wild on reel 2 and a x4 Wild on reel 3 turn a simple line hit into a x10 multiplier before symbol payouts are applied.

This makes mid-tier symbols like the Corpse Bride or Vampire surprisingly valuable when multiple wilds connect across the middle reels.

How the Haunted Crypt’s Free Spins feature works

While Haunted Crypt’s base game looks lucrative, some may argue that real wins are locked behind the game’s Free Spins feature. The bonus is triggered by landing three Scatter symbols, awarding 10 free spins where the slot’s multiplier system begins to build across the grid.

During the feature, every Wild that lands becomes highlighted and starts increasing its multiplier by +1 on every following spin. Over time these positions can build fairly large values. If another Wild lands anywhere on the grid after this, the reels have the real potential to explode. Even better if several of them are active at once. In that case, even a basic Chalice or Grimoire combination can turn into a much larger win.

Simply because of that, big wins in this slot come from lengthy bonus rounds. Simply because highlighted positions in Haunted Crypt need time to grow. Ending the bonus too quickly prevents the mechanic from reaching its full potential, which is why players who argue that most of Haunted Crypt’s meaningful wins come from the Free Spins feature are not entirely wrong.

The standard Free Spins round costs 100x the total bet, while the Super Free Spins feature costs 500x the bet, where a general multiplier between 2x and 10x is applied on every spin. It’s on the pricier side, but once bonus forms a streak of highlighted positions with growing multipliers, the game can pay big.
