These scary slots are ready to give you a fun fright
Everyone loves getting a little scary during the spooky season, and that includes slots players looking for their next fun thrill.
Whether you’re watching a scary movie on a dark night, visiting a haunted house, or playing some particularly frightful slots, there are many ways to get in the seasonal mood. And we’re not talking jack-o-lanterns or Frankenstein’s monster, either. We’re talking about some downright dark and twisted slots that will keep you up at night, whether it’s because of how scary their themes are, or the excitement they bring to the hunt for jackpots.
From dastardly ghost towns to serial thrillers, these are the spookiest online slots that offer big wins if you can stomach the scary spins it takes to find them.
Tombstone RIP

Nolimit City didn’t hold back with this slot, which takes place in a partially abandoned and fully brutal western town full of dark dangers. The gritty aesthetic blends monochrome colors with blood splatters, and features symbols like a hanging bandit. To match this brutality, the game’s high volatility is among the most intense you can experience in an online slot. If you are looking for frequent and smaller wins to keep you going, this is not the slot for you. But if you’re hunting a big jackpot, this might be just the place to do it.
Tombstone RIP does not guarantee a happy ending, and the western town behind the reel may even catch on fire and burn down. But with a max jackpot of 300,000x the starting bet, the road may well be worth treading. Provided, of course, that you can withstand the spooky Western vibes.
Blood Suckers 2
The original Blood Suckers was known in part for its high RTP, but the sequel has improved on that game’s vampiric theme with dark, gothic graphics and the symbols to match. The soundtrack adds to the immersion, drawing you in the deeper you go.
While there are plenty of features to keep gameplay feeling spicy, this is generally a pretty straightforward slot experience that relies more on the story and theme to keep players hooked. Taking place inside a misty, abandoned castle, players encounter sultry vampire Amilla as she seeks to locate her ancestor’s treasures and take it back for herself. Unfortunately, some sinister vampires stand in her way, and that’s where players come in.
Serial

Serial has the potential for massive jackpots if you can stomach the thought of scary stalkers lurking behind every spin on this slot. The game revolves around the Bodycam Butcher, featuring his victims, forensic clues used to catch him, and his frightening weapons as symbols. The dark comic style of Serial may not be enjoyable for anyone that’s creeped out by its themes, but if you’re looking for some scary slots to play this season, there may not be a better choice.
Those who stick around will find plenty of dynamic features to keep them hooked. Like Tombstone RIP, there are xWays and xNudge Wild symbols that can lead to some crazy reel changes and big wins. Serial also has two free spin modes: The Search and The Kill. Available to play right now on Stake, there’s a lot to like here if you’re able to withstand the spooks the game provides.
Bloody Murder
Jack the Ripper has always been a fascinating tale of an infamous figure who prowled the streets of London. We’re still trying to figure out who he really was to this day, and Bloody Murder celebrates that morbid curiosity in slot form. The reel features clues left behind by Jack’s victims along with symbols splattered with blood. There are also multipliers in the form of letters used to try to figure out who Jack the Ripper truly is.
Bloody Murder takes place on the quiet and dark streets of 19th-century London, with horrifying headlines plastered to the buildings. It’s a bold and dynamic slot that is sure to keep you up as you imagine Jack the Ripper wandering the streets, evading capture despite the chaos he caused.
Wildwood Curse

Inspired by some of the most famous horror movies in popular culture, Hacksaw Gaming’s Wildwood Curse is one of the most intense and heart-pounding ways to spin the reels. It’s set in a dark and woodsy location, featuring sinister characters with masks and missing limbs. The game only gets creepier as you go, bringing you to B-movie slasher-inspired locations like The Swamp and The Playground.
Landing four wilds in a 2×2 square cluster will form a Cursed Cluster, which can feature three different characters. The Pyscho Cluster reveals a multiplier of x2 to x100 on each respin. The Monster Cluster spreads multipliers to random positions on the grid. The Twins Cluster reveals a multiplier of x2 that doubles on each respin, potentially reaching a max level of x1,000. It’s one of those games where you actually want to encounter these horrific characters because it means you may win big, but you’ll be tense as you await their frightening arrivals.
No matter which of these slots you play or which online betting site you choose to play them on, you can be assured of a scary good time. Just be sure to be frightened responsibly!
