PUMPKIN SMASH SLOT MACHINE
In 2017, Yggdrasil raided the pumpkin patch just before Halloween to develop a colourful new slot, Pumpkin Smash. It is a 5×3 (reels x rows) and 20 paylines slot that combines Halloween elements with Mexico's Day of the Dead. Smash the right pumpkin, and you may be able to win up to 36,000 coins!

PUMPKIN SMASH SYMBOLS AND BONUS FEATURES
The Mexican Day of the Dead follows Halloween on November 1st-2nd to celebrate all those who have passed away. Four (4) sugar skulls make up the high-paying symbols in four colours: red, purple, green and blue. Then there are 4 card suit symbols representing the low-paying end of the paytable.
Yggdrasil is known for the incredible artwork they put into their slots, and this one is no different. In fact, you can play slot games from this developer and many more at Guts. The reels are embedded on a gate with stone columns on each side, leading to a cemetery. The instrumental music is Mexican-flavoured and goes great with the artwork.
The slot has a wild symbol that can substitute for any other symbol except the bonus. The most exciting symbol that you'll find is a pumpkin that triggers the Pumpkin Smash Bonus Game during the main game and free spins.
