Psycho Slot

If you’re all about thrills and chills, then boy do I have a slot game for you. Psycho slot is a 5-reel 25 pay line video slot powered by NextGen Gaming and produced in co-operation with Universal Studios. Based on the famous Alfred Hitchcock 1960’s psychological thriller, Psycho slot offers a mixture of fun, fright and fear for any brave gamblers who dare to spin the reels.

Playable from between 25p a spin up to £50 per spin, this game is visually excellent with a haunting soundtrack that sends shivers up your spine. NextGen Gaming have done a cracking job at balancing themes from the film with the visual impact you’ve come to expect of modern slots. With bonus features such as psycho wilds that can multiply your wins up to 20x and free spins with 40x your stake multipliers up for grabs, you’d be downright crazy not to give this one a go with a maximum win of 2,500x your stake in the bonus rounds!

Graphics and Theme

The opening scenes to the game are shot in black and white and showcase a dark and stormy night as the driver approaches the ‘Bates Motel’ sign. As this slot is based on what is arguably the best thriller ever recorded, all aspects of its design have an uncanny and hair-raising feel. Taking place in the dead of the night, gamblers will see the haunted cabin house situated high on the hilltop overlooking the mysterious Bates Motel. Frequent bouts of thunder and lightning can be seen and heard which add to the creepy aesthetic, and a maniac with a knife will sometimes randomly appear to slash your screen with wild symbols. Yikes!

The 5×3 reel grid itself is positioned on a shower curtain, which plays homage to the iconic and terrifying shower scene in the film with quotes like ‘We all go a little mad sometimes’ flashing up. Symbols in this game include colourful lower-paying card suits A-10 and thematic symbols consisting of a room key, an eye peeking through a hole, a cash envelope, Marion and Milton plus two rewarding wild and scatter symbols. I’d recommend you play this slot game with the sound on high as the eerie use of the original score from the movie alongside the stormy weather sounds make for a fantastic gaming backdrop that helps to build up adrenaline and suspense.
