The slot game Psycho from the developer NextGen Gaming is an adaptation of the cult movie from Alfred Hitchcock from 1960. You can spend the night at the Bates Motel and I can assure you, you will not be killed, instead you get the chance to go home with a lot of money in your pockets! The graphics of the game include the characters of the movie, as well as the famous motel. The music and sound effects perfectly underline the scary theme of the slot and create a tense atmosphere, just like in the movie too.

The game has several special features that provide for quality game content, among them a random wild with the chance of getting a win multiplier and free spins. Playing the game is a lot of fun and you have the chance of winning a lot of money.

The wild symbol

The wild symbol in the slot substitutes for all other symbols, but not the scatter symbol, and you will also be able to win money, when you manage to get it on a pay-line. For 2, 3, 4 or 5 wild symbols you will get 2, 25, 250 or 1,250 coins respectively. The wild is also a multiplier and can randomly multiply winnings achieved with the wild symbol by 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 or even 20.

The scatter symbol

The icon with the Bates Motel is the scatter symbol and when you manage to get it 2, 3, 4 or 5 times anywhere on the reels you will win 25, 50, 375 or 2,500 coins respectively.

The free spins

The scatter symbol does not only pay out, you will also trigger the free spins when you get it 3, 4 or 5 times anywhere on the screen. You will then get 10, 15 or 20 free games respectively. What is even more exciting is, that during the free spins more than one wild symbols can appear on the screen and the win multiplier is increased to a maximum of x40. This means that you can potentially win a lot of money in a single spin.

The Gamble feature

Every time you achieve a win in a normal game you are able to stake it again in the Gamble feature. In this extra game you have the chance of doubling or quadrupling your winnings by guessing either the correct card colour (red or black) for a 50% chance of doubling your winnings, or by guessing the correct card suit (spades, heart, diamond, clubs) for a 25% chance of quadrupling your winnings. You can play the game up to 5 times in a row and leave the gamble any time you wish. Simply click on the button Take Win.
