Night Ghost Stories

Night Ghost Stories Overview

Night Ghost Stories is a Halloween video slot from Inbet Games, released on 7 June 2023 according to Inbet’s own game catalogue. It plays on a classic 5x3 grid with 25 fixed paylines, and the whole cast comes straight from a haunted garden: grinning jack-o’-lanterns, a black cat, a witch’s hat, a bubbling potion, poisoned green apples and a toadstool with a frog on top. Inbet does not publish an RTP, a volatility rating or a maximum win for this title, and SlotCatalog lists all three as N/A, so everything below comes from the game’s own paytable and from our demo rounds.

The Paytable

The paytable is written in coins per line. Our session used 1 coin per line on all 25 lines, a total bet of 25, so the values below are also what one line pays at that stake:

• Witch’s hat: 300 for five, 60 for four, 20 for three and 5 for two
• Jack-o’-lantern wild: 300 / 60 / 20 / 5 – the same scale as the hat
• Black cat and red potion: 200 / 40 / 15
• Poisoned apples and toadstool: 150 / 30 / 10
• A and K: 100 / 25 / 5
• J, Q, 9 and 10: 100 / 20 / 5

Only the hat and the wild pay for two of a kind. Five hats on a line are worth 300 coins, which is 12 times the total bet of 25 – the ceiling of a single line in the base game.

The Jack-o’-Lantern Wild

The grinning pumpkin with the WILD banner “replaces all symbols, except the scatters”, as the paytable puts it. It lands on every reel, and because it pays as much as the top symbol, a line of wilds is as good as a line of hats. The real value, though, is in substitution: with 25 lines crossing the grid, a single pumpkin in the middle can complete several lines at once.

The Spell Book Scatter

The open spell book marked FREE SPINS is the scatter. It pays anywhere on the reels: 1,250 coins for five, 250 for four and 125 for three. At a 25-coin total bet that is 50x, 10x and 5x. Three or more books also start the bonus – “3 or more scatters trigger freegames”.

Free Games

In our session three books opened the feature with a full-screen message: “You won 8 free spins”. A FREEGAMES counter then runs down on the left edge of the reels. SlotCatalog also lists additional free spins and random extra wilds among the features, and our free-spin screenshots are covered in pumpkins: in one spin the wild sat on all five reels at once.

That density pays. With seven free games left, a board with jack-o’-lanterns on reels one, three, four and five paid 730 on six lines – 29.2x the bet from a single spin. Another spin paid 125 on six lines, with pumpkins on all five reels and a purple cat in the middle of the pattern.

The Super Win Cauldron

Big wins are shown inside a black witch’s cauldron bubbling with purple potion, a red toadstool and herbs sticking out of the brew. Our round ended on a Super Win of 795 coins – 31.8 times the 25-coin bet.

What Our Base-Game Spins Showed

The base game is steadier. Three toadstools on the first three reels paid 30 on three lines – exactly three times the 10-coin value from the paytable. Another screenshot shows how the symbols stack: whole reels of potions on the first and last reel and green apples on reels two and four, with toadstools in the middle.

How the Numbers Fit Together

Put the paytable next to the free games and the shape of the game is clear. A full line of the best symbol is 12x, five scatters 50x, and the free-spin rounds are where the 30x-plus results come from – our two biggest screens, 730 and 795, both came from the bonus. The toadstool line shows the other end: 3 coins per 25 spent on a three-of-a-kind, which is why the wilds and the scatters carry the game.

Bets and Coin Values

The game is always played on all 25 lines; what you change is the coin value per line. Inbet’s catalogue lists ten steps for this title – 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 100 – and SlotCatalog gives the resulting range as 0.25 to 250 per spin. Because the paytable is written per line and the scatter pays on the total bet, every figure in this review scales in proportion: at ten times the coin value, the 730-coin free spin would have been 7,300 and the five-book scatter 12,500. The demo starts with a balance of 1,000 FUN coins, enough for forty spins at the lowest stake.

Graphics and Atmosphere

The reels float in front of a dead tree under a full moon, with glowing-eyed shadows lurking in the background and a graveyard fence at the bottom. The symbols are bright and cartoonish rather than scary: the pumpkins grin, the apples have evil little faces, and the cat curls up with glowing eyes. The orange control bar at the bottom shows the coin value, balance and bet, with START and AUTO buttons on the right.

Who It Is For

Night Ghost Stories suits players who like a classic 25-line slot with a clear paytable and one feature that does the heavy lifting. The base game pays small and often, the free spins bring the pumpkin wilds in bulk, and the Halloween theme is light-hearted rather than dark. With no published RTP or maximum win, the free demo is the best way to see whether the rhythm suits you. All six of our partner casinos carry it.
