Open the doors in this Curious Cabinet mobile slot and you might be surprised by what you might find; Voodoo dolls, skulls, alien plants and some good wins.
We have very mixed reviews of Iron Dog studios slots, mostly because whilst they are very imaginative sometimes it hard to see what is going due to the fancy decorations, as not enough focus is put on the reels – think La Rouge game for example.
This isn’t the case in this Curious Cabinet slot game, which with its 5 reels and 4 rows full of intricate symbols and details, could have been a problem.
As it stands, this supernatural Halloween casino game is well crafted, with creepy dolls, man-eating plants, Zombie hands, bleeding hearts and unique gothic backstories.
The Curious Cabinet is a 5×4 slot game where players explore an antique dresser full of fun gothic symbols. None have as much of a creep factor that the scatters.
Standing 2 symbols high, one is a creepy doll that can expand to cover 3 symbols high and the other is the monster of an eye which can expand to cover a 2×2 section of the reels.
These are surprisingly good at keeping your wallet ticking along whilst you wait for those special drawers to open up.
Mostly these are found in the drawer symbol, which when it shows up gives you multipliers, free spins, sticky wilds or cash prizes.
But they rarely do more than give you a little heart skip, that is until you hit the free spins bonus round.
At this point, you get 8 Curious Cabinet free spin games with expanding man-eating wild symbol plants, as well as one or more drawers constantly open on screen.
This can lead to 5x multipliers and up to 2,000 in cash prizes, making these exotic relics more than just simple curiosities.
Don’t get us wrong, this is a high volatility slot machine which can leave you frightfully low in candy, but with 5,000 times your bet wins may also replace the Si Xiang machine as our favourite Iron Dog game.

Wild: The rose is the wild symbol and can replace any other symbol except the scatter. It creates wins over any of the 40 payline.
Expanding Scatters: There are two scatter symbols, both of which can expand when there are enough on screen to create a win (ie. covers 4 space).
The Silver Drawer: Randomly this Curious Cabinet game will have a drawer symbol show on one or more of the reels and randomly reveal:
Free Spin Bonus Games: When you get a silver drawer on reels 2 and 4, you'll trigger 8 free spins.
Now you get drawers under each reel; silver or gold. On each spin at least one drawer will open up and reward you with a mystery prize.
In addition, any wilds landing on the reels will expand to cover the whole reel.

This Curious Cabinet mobile slot machine is not for the faint of heart, and we're not even talking because of the ghoulish surprises found in the artwork and animations.
It's because this is a fairly volatile video slot, dependent on the free spin rounds to give you ghoulishly good wins... or a Zombie undead two fingers when nothing pops into your bank.
Still, as Halloween themed slot machines go, this has to be one of the more inventive and the gameplay is fun enough that we could see ourselves coming back to this curious game far more often than just on October 31st.
Not quite as effective as Halloween Jack video slot by NetEnt, but a solid game from an interesting up and coming software provider.
