Spooky Link Slot

Spooky Link Slot Review

If you’ve ever wondered why gamblers still go to land-based casinos when they can very easily just sit at home playing slots, then look no further than Spooky Link. It’s good. Scary good, you might say, although the scares are very much light-hearted.

You might, for example, be scared about how much you love it. You may occasionally be spooked by how much your credits are eroding. It’s possible, likely in fact, that you will be terrified of how much you laugh at the daft little characters. Those of a nervous disposition wouldn’t worry, though. Spooky Link is really more Count Duckula than it is Count Dracula. Who/what is Count Duckula, you might ask? It’s a thing, I promise you. Look it up!

You may not be familiar with Spooky Link, as it was only released into casinos in 2025, but there is a better chance you know of Mo Mummy. The Aristocrat game was a big hit, but it also frustrated players in that of the three bonus features it boasted, only one was worth, you know, boasting about. 

At the time of writing, Spooky Link is not yet available to play online for real money. However, you can find the original Mo’ Mummy real-money game online, plus there’s a huge array of ‘three pots’ games to play online too.

Spooky Link Slot Theme, Design & Atmosphere

There is an overriding ‘gems’ or treasure theme across the Spooky Link slot games, but the three variations differ in character and symbols. The characters are particularly important, with their personalities shining through in their appearance, voice, and slogans. 

As ever, the mummy kind of wanders around the background of his pharaoh’s crypt, swimming in his piles of gold and subtly judging you for not being better at life. The ghost is like Casper, a small child who delights in scaring you, even when all you really want to do is cuddle him for being so cute. Meanwhile, the yeti is surprisingly happy, but his bubbly joviality is randomly interrupted by declarations of crushing emotional vulnerability – such as pleading with you to come back soon when you cash out because he ‘doesn’t have many friends.’

The whole focus of the game is around the three huge piles of gems or ‘pots’. Yes, it’s a pots game. That means that, like most pot games, the progression is perceived, not actual. I’d tell you to make sure you’re not taken in by the pots, especially when they are glowy and pulsing, but the reality is I am in no position to judge.

Depending on the variation, the pots are in the shape of Nepalese Buddha statues, Egyptian Sarcophagi, or suits of armor, and the game aims to make them pop!

My Experience Playing Spooky Link Slot for Real Money

Lynsey Thompson Slot Expert

Two words: joy and frustration. I have had some desperately frustrating experiences on the Spooky Link slot machine when the pots just won’t pop, and I have had some absolutely joyous ones when they have. However, I always worry that ‘frustrating’ is a bit of a misnomer when it comes to slots. You may see the word and think it’s a criticism, but it’s actually entirely to the contrary. After all, something can only be frustrating if you know how good it can be.

And that is how my experience of playing Spooky Link has always been. I sat down, pressed the button, and chased the feature because it was good. It's so good, actually, that when it’s not triggering, it’s deeply frustrating.

But either way, with Spooky Link, winning or losing, the brilliant characters keep you entertained, which is the design's true brilliance.

How to Play Spooky Link Slot

The Spooky Link setup is a basic 5x3 grid with wilds, three pots, and extra bonus features. We’ll go into each of these and how to trigger them in more detail below. Remember that since Spooky Link is a land-based game, it is multi-domination. If you don’t know about denominations, please read our expert guide

These are the main key Spooky Link slot machine stats:

  • Grid: 5x3 
  • Paylines: 40
  • Denominations: 1c-$1
  • Bet Levels: $1-$500 per spin
  • 5 Bonus Features: Jackpot, Free Games, Mo’ Spins, Mo’ Symbols, and Mo’ Mummy/Go Ghost/Yo Yeti (depending on variation)
  • Fixed Mini and Minor Jackpots set by denomination level
  • Progressive Mega, Major, and Grand Jackpots 
  • RTP is not public but is expected to be between 85% and 95%. Exact RTP set by the casino and local regulations
  • Volatility: High

What I would say is that while the payout potential in the Spooky Link bonus features can be excellent, the line pays in general play are significantly underwhelming.

Spooky Link follows the recent trends of being a more volatile game. That means the payout potential is great. I’ve won a $1,250 jackpot on a $2 bet before.

Spooky Link Slot Bonus Features & Potential Payout

There are five bonus features in total on the Spooky Link slot machine, but if I’m being honest, the only ones you really want are the big piles of gems. Preferably two or three if you can pop them together. 

They can be triggered in three ways. Either you land the relevant colour gem on the reels and it shoots up and triggers it, you get a ‘luck has arrived’ type animation that pre-warns you, or you land the ghost, yeti, or mummy on the first reel too. Get them with any gems, and you will trigger the corresponding feature. Let’s take a look at all the Spooky Link bonus features.

Spooky Link Cash Collect Bonus Feature

This drops when at least one of the three pots pops. The screen expands and the relevant character appears inside a box. Coins and diamonds with values drop on every spin. The coins can be numerical values or jackpot amounts, such as Mini, Minor, or Major, and are collected and added to your total if they land in the character’s box. 

The diamonds are what you really want, though. Your character collects them no matter where they land, and getting enough of them will increase his box size.

The three pots add different twists to this bonus as follows:

  • Mo’ Spins – This means additional spins can land on the reels through the bonus
  • Mo’ Symbols – This adds split symbols into the game so you can get double diamonds on double values
  • Mo’ Mummy/Go Ghost/Yo Yeti – brings a distinct character feature as below:
  • Mummy: Randomly applies 2x or 3x multiplier to his box
  • Ghost: Boosts – or BOOOOOOsts – credit values
  • Yeti – Throws snowballs into your reels that turn into prizes

Spooky Link Free Games Bonus Feature

The free games feature was the worst part of Mo Mummy, and it hasn’t gotten much better here. So I wouldn’t get too excited if you get it. You can trigger the bonus feature in free games, but it’s just free spins and nothing else. And, given the poor line pays, it’s all very ‘meh.’

You get 6 of them, by the way.

Spooky Link Jackpot Feature

The jackpot feature is better than the free games, but it’s still a bit of a sideshow on Spooky Link. It’s a standard picky feature. A grid of scarabs comes on the screen, and you pick them one by one. Once you have three of the same one, usually the mini jackpot, you win it.

Please don’t stress about it, though. The result is determined before you even lay a finger on the screen. Control here is purely an illusion.

Perks & Player Rewards

Spooky Link is a land-based game, so make sure you have your rewards club card in the machine when you play it. Be advised, though, that due to poor line pay, Spooky Link is not a great game for recycling money, earning points, and achieving tier status and rewards. If that is your goal, you’re better off with a Dragon Link and Lightning Link.

Spooky Link Slot Verdict

I love Spooky Link. You might think that is because it’s just easy to love a game you have had a big win on before. But the truth is, I lost a lot of money loving it long before I won anything.

Whichever version you choose, the characters provide a huge amount of personality, vibrance, and humour. My favourite is the ghost, although I love the yeti too. That may seem mean on the mummy, but he’s been around longer, so the novelty has probably just worn off a little compared to the other two.

Most importantly, though, the bonus feature is worth getting. That makes you want to persist, especially chasing a double or triple pop. It sounds simplistic to say that, given that you are nearly always playing for a bonus feature on slots nowadays, few are as enjoyable as Spooky Link’s.
