Beetlejuice

Straight outta 1988, Beetlejuice has returned to help Adam and Barbara Maitland haunt the new family that has moved into their house. After 27 years WMS brings us this fantastic video slot that will make you want to jump in the line and say Beetlejuice 3 times.

Beetlejuice Theme

This is a 40 line video slot that is played on a horizontal screen with a 6×9 interactive reel set. There are progressive jackpot symbols for this game, though you will only have the opportunity to win this if you bet the maximum amount. Symbols are the main characters from the film with the Maitland family taking a starring role along with the sandworms, Beetlejuice himself, Otho, Lydia and her parents. There are some in-reel extras which are separate from the bonus games. These are triggered when you get a perfect alignment of the characters across the 3 reels. Smaller boxes appear showing you smaller winning lines. These boxes also include other characters from the film including Juno, the Maitland’s case worker, the dead receptionist and the shrunken head man. You will also see Beetlejuice’s teeth, and the Maitland Ghost Polaroid pictures. What you are looking to do is get 3 of the bright ‘Beetlejuice’ symbols anywhere on the reels, which will trigger the bonus rounds based on the film.

Features

The bonus games are amazing! Each one includes classic scenes from the film, cleverly used to interact with the bonus games.

The cemetery bonus is a game which is based on the recurring theme of referring to the ‘handbook of the recently deceased’ from the film. You pick handbooks; some of them will win you dollar symbols, while others will reveal a Beetlejuice picture. If you pick enough dollar symbols you will advance to the next level where the pay-out is bigger. If you hit 3 Beetlejuice symbols your bonus round ends.

Lydia’s free spins can be potentially profitable. This free spin game comes with a chance to get anywhere from 3 to 23 wild symbols on the reels depending on Lydia. This bonus starts when Lydia appears on the top screen dancing in mid-air to ‘’Jump in the line’’ She magically fires wilds down onto the main reels. She will disappear if she feels like you’ve had enough. The longer she stays on the screen the more wilds you get. Also, for each spin you can get a multiplier of up to 10x on any spin awarded at random.

The other free spins game is based on the sandworms. A prize is shown on the top screen, and each time you get 3 sandworms, this prize is added to your total. You can collect several wins, especially when you get 3 worms on one spin extending your bonus by 3 more spins.
