The word Psycho is enough to send a shiver down your spine, and this spooky slot from NextGen is sure to have you looking over your shoulder as you play. Based on the cult 1960s Alfred Hitchcock movie of the same name, Psycho brings back to life the creepy tale in this chilling 5-reel, 25 payline game.

Games

Standard symbols are Norman Bates, Marion Crane, the house and shower – these deliver payouts when 2+ appear from left-to-right on a active payline. Bets range from 25p up to £50 a spin, from coin values set at 0.01 up to 2.00. The game auto-bets on all 25 paylines. You can set up to 100 auto-spins for more relaxed game play, and the bonus features appear to crop up with satisfying regularity on this medium-high variance slot.

Design

This classy slot is a visual feast of iconic Psycho imagery. Tension mounts from the get-go as a car pulls up with windscreen wipers slashing in a futile battle against torrential rain. The Bates home sits ominously on a hill at the top left of the backdrop, overlooking the motel.

Symbols such as crows, room keys, an envelope stuffed with cash, and eyes peering through a keyhole mingle against the background of the famous shower curtain. Rain, fog, thunder and lightning are depicted with photographic realism, and the soundtrack is suitably dramatic. Psycho isn’t just a slot, it’s a thrilling game experience.

Bonuses and Features

Wild Symbol – this appears as a blood-red ‘Wild’ scrawled across a shower symbol, and substitutes for all others apart from the Scatter

Psycho Wilds – trigger randomly with a slash of the shower curtain to deliver a Multiplier of 2x up to 20x any winnings

Free Spin Scatter – appears as the Bates house. Secure 3, 4 or 5 of these to trigger the Free Spins round with 10, 15 or 20 spins respectively. Free Spins are not triggered that often, but wins are generally good when they do appear, so it’s worth persisting – Free Spins offer more Wilds, with Multipliers from 2x up to 40x, are played at the same bet as triggered them, and can be re-triggered during Free Spin rounds

Psycho Gamble Feature – an optional feature you can select after any winning spin by clicking the button below the reels for a chance to double or quadruple your win
