House of Fun Slot

and needless to say, I had my first play on this game some years back. How long ago, gees, I cannot remember now, but that's not important anyway. What is important is that after that first play, I never played it again! Why? Hmm, after reading this review, you would know exactly why, hehehe.

As usual, this House Of Fun game plays with 30 paylines, and as usual too, there isn't any Wild symbol in the game. Argh! These BetSoft game designers must really hate Wild symbols, because they always omit them in their games! The Box is the Scatter symbol, a dumb symbol for not paying anything for itself, but getting 3 or more of them anywhere on the reels triggers 'Jack's Free Spins' game. Jack is the boy in the game, and Jane is the girl, but you already know that, hahaha. During the free spins, reel 3 becomes a Jack-in-the-box Wild Reel, not Jack the boy of course, and remains on the reel for the duration of the free spins. However, this Wild Reel doesn't double wins with it, what the argh!

The Jester is the Bonus symbol, that's the guy with the long legs, if you don't already know. It's another dumb symbol, with no payouts whatsoever for getting them, but getting 3 or more of this Jester symbol on active payline 1, 2 or 3, triggers the 'Mad Click Me' feature game. Why 'Mad Click Me'? Click on those 'Click Me' symbols and see if they don't make you mad! The cash prizes I got were so small they certainly made me mad! The Door Knocker is the Bonus symbol, another dumb one, and getting 3 or more of them on any active payline triggers 'The Escape Bonus' game. Pick one of the 5 doors to see if Jack and Jane can escape. Keep picking until they manage to escape and ends the game. Is this game any better than the 'Mad Click Me' game? Are you kidding me? It paid me even less than what that 'Mad Click Me' game did!

And finally, we come to the paytable. Without needing to elaborate on the various symbols, just let me say that the paytable for this House Of Fun game is one of the lowest I have ever come across, probably even the lowest of the lot! Getting 5 of the highest paying symbol would only pay 150 credits, which is only 5x the total bet amount! I have come across highest paying symbols that pay only 8.5x up to 10x the total bet amount, but 5x? What the argh! How the heck can anyone ever win on this game!

use of Fun is a classic horror comedy slot from BetSoft where the used symbols are more funny and cute than to be terrifying and the little winning animations are also very effective and charming. We can play here with cats, paintings, candles, mirrors and none of them would be real special but with the illustrating method and because of the theme they really form a unit and have the ability to interpret well the subject of the game. I also like the background image which is very complex and it’s made by using very great graphics and colours and basically this same can be said about the reel area with great statue decorations. Practically, we get here the known BetSoft visualizations and qualities but I think these segments never were the real problems of their games.

My issues with BetSoft were always the poor paying ability of their slots. For example at this game the best paying line win is worth no more than 150 times of line bet which is far away to be considered as a good quality or I could mention here the slot doesn't uses any Wild which is also not a good sign. On the other hand the slot provides 3 different side games. 3 Jack in the box symbols anywhere on the reels trigger free spins during the whole middle reel turns into Wilds but to be honest it doesn't really help this bonus to give out real nice returns and I also dislike that the spins very slowly follow each other because of the (otherwise great) animations. The character named Mad Hatter triggers another bonus if it appears on the first, second and third paylines (not reels, it really must be on that paylines) then a single ‘pick me’ style extra session starts which lasts until a Collect is revealed. I don’t want to repeat myself but this extra’s rewarding ability is just so-so, in best case. Maybe the third feature is what I enjoy the most partly thanked to the great secondary screen. After getting 3 specified Scatters the Escape Bonus is activated where we have to find the way out from House of Fun by helping the boy and girl to find the right doors. At least this side game brings some excitement and I finally find a bonus where the profits sometimes don’t seem to be very poor.

Anyway, sometimes I really wonder how BetSoft wants to be an important participant on the market if they make products with qualities like these. Nowadays, it’s not enough to dazzle players by just great slot surfaces they should offer much more from money-wise aspect and has to have games that possess the ability to make the players believe that they have the chance to win big and play games which have some big potential in them. I never felt something like this and at the beginning of my gambling career this really determined my relationships with BetSoft.

House of Fun is no exception and proved to be a very typical BetSoft product with all of their good and negative qualities. I think players must decide the preference system because at BetSoft they just couldn't get the whole package in a single game. If someone has greater emphasis on appearance, animations, different features and keep entertained this product can be a good choice but if someone wants to win big and play with great rewarding system I can advise to move on from this game and keep looking for other slot and maybe she/he will find the perfect target at another software platform.

Well, for a scary game that I wished I could like playing, turned out to be a blardy scary game that only knows how to pay very small peanuts! Yes, those very small wins do come often, keeping my credits balance going down slowly, but what I want to see is chances of my credits balance going up, which it never could, or did. Honestly, if not because I quite like the game, I may even rate this House Of Fun game with just 1 Star! The payouts are simply that bad!
