Pumpkin Patch

We love games that are themed after particular parts of the year without focusing purely on a holiday trope since there aren't that many of them, and they offer up a lot of opportunities for fun concepts and features. The Pumpkin Patch slot by Habanero Systems falls under this category with its autumn theme that only has a slight hint of Halloween in it.

This video slot is up there with the best-looking games available overall, and its style of graphics provides a breath of fresh air compared to what you'll normally find from many other providers in terms of quality and overall style.

Game Layout

At its core, this is a 25-payline video slot. Five reels and three rows make up the main grid, but you can't change how many lines are active on each turn. You can adjust your bet size in two ways, however. First, you can pick to wager between one and ten coins on each of those paylines, so your coin betting range is 25 to 250 per turn. Those individual coins can be set to $0.01 at the minimum for a $0.25 bet size at the least, and the maximum just depends on where you're playing, but it can be set to be well up into the hundreds. It'll just depend on the site you're playing with since they have the controls to adjust the maximum sizes, etc.

Two Wild Symbols

One of the main game mechanics during regular play involves the pairing of two different wild symbols. One is a dancing pumpkin scarecrow kind of guy in a purple hat. The second is just a regular "wild" symbol that's decorated to have an orange and green pumpkin motif.

These can be used together to get wild combination wins. Five of a kind earns 40x, and four gets you 10x. The win is worth 0.8x for three of kind as well. Note that all of these wins, just like all of the other payouts that we'll discuss, are multiplied by the total amount that you have wagered and not by how much is bet on each individual payline.

Pumpkin Feature

The pumpkin symbol has some wild features attached to it. If you get a bee beside of a pumpkin, it will turn the pumpkin into an expanding wild that covers the entire reel before your payouts are calculated. On top of that, getting a pumpkin beside of a squirrel turns it into a single wild symbol. If you get both at the same time, then they are processed in a randomly chosen order to be fair.

Free Spins Mode

You can get free spins in a couple of different ways. Three or more of the scarecrow wild gives you a set of free spins, and getting three or more during the free spins will give you eight additional free turns. On top of that, all wins are multiplied by a factor of three to give you much larger payouts during this feature.

However, you can also collect corn symbols included in payouts to get extra free spins added to your counter. You'll see this counter, which always starts off at eight, in the top-right corner of the game. This counter is different for each bet size to keep things fair, so you'll probably want to pick one bet size and stick to it when you play this game.

Wins and Prizes

Five of a kind of the pumpkin symbol earns players 30x. You can get 20x for five of the crazy bee symbol, and five of the squirrel is worth 18x. Five of the corn cob pipe is 16x, and five of the acorn or ear of corn pay 10x or 6x, respectively.

The card rank symbols are the lower six prizes. The A and K each give 4x and 3.2x, respectively, and you can earn 2.8x for the Q or 2.4x for five of the J. Finally. the 10 pays out 2x, and the 9 will get you 1.6x for five on a payline.

In Summary

The Pumpkin Patch slot by Habanero Systems is a great-looking game with action-packed, feature-based gameplay. The random wild features are a lot of fun and give you surprising amounts of value, and the wins from the multiple wild symbols are solid as well. Add to that a free spins mode with a very generous multiplier and the ability to accumulate free turns over time, and you've got a lot to look forward to.
