Peek-a-Boo is a fun Microgaming slot with five reels and 40 paylines. It is playable from 10p to £2.50 per spin.
Theme
With ghosts, ghouls and plenty of sweeties, Peek-a-Boo has a cartoonish Halloween theme. The symbols all feature different coloured ghosts with candy symbols including wine gums and liquorice allsorts. The wild symbol is the game’s logo and look out for the kid wearing a Ghostbusters-style costume as he’ll zap some ghouls and help win you free spins.
Free Spins Round
As mentioned, the kid in costume is the key to winning free spins in this slot. When he appears on the middle reel he’ll use his gun to zap some of the ghosts on the screen. These will be transferred into the Ghost Meter. When 10 ghosts have been collected (you don’t have to land the symbol 10 times as multiple ghosts can be zapped each time) you’ll be rewarded with 10 free spins, though 13 may be awarded depending on how many ghosts were in the meter. During this feature the 40 paylines are ditched and replaced with 1,024 ways to win. You’ll also find stacked wilds that can lead to substantial wins.
Spooky Reels Feature
Keep an eye out for the Spooky Reels feature in the free spins round. If you land a three symbol win then reels four and five will spookily re-spin to afford you the chance to make it a four or five symbol win. Alternatively, if you get a four symbol win then the final reel will re-spin to try and make it an even bigger payout.
Verdict
With its fun theme and quirky bonus trigger, Peek-a-Boo is extremely entertaining to play. The creepy soundtrack works well with the cartoonish graphics to create just the right atmosphere and there’s enough variety between the base game and the free spins round to captivate players and hold attention.
