Caught in the Widows Web ™ – Review, Bonuses, Free Spins, Free Play in Demo Mode

Introduction

Marriage is a dangerous game, so avoid being trapped by The Widow’s Web. That is the idea behind this unique and nicely done 5 reels, 60 payline slot machine from H5G. With scatter capture feature in focus, this Noirish slot has real actors appearing on screen making the story character-rich as Widow whispers ‘caught you’.

The paytable symbols are nine, and they include the main four characters as well as the spider’s web wild that can take place of any symbol – including the free games icon. Beside this there also is a random free spins feature which upon landing three scatter symbols anywhere on the reels gives you between seven up to eleven games.

It is indeed an interesting slot and best used for demo mode spins while you get the hang of capturing scatters and identifying characters. In addition, this fun-filled slot can be played on a range of devices from desktop to mobile and tablet.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

This is an amazing demo slot game that I have ever seen, it is called Caught in the Widows Web.

This classic femme fatale, blonde and haired at that, knocks off husbands and lovers stealthily with venom. We love the superb styling, as well as the fact that real actors are used for mini cut-scenes that weave an intriguing web.

The somber texture of the game board is like a classic country house murder mystery or a Cluedo game, with dark colors and an atmospheric stately home in the background.

The slot game has a lot of clever touches such as how the reels hang on a spider web and the cut scene that introduces free spins.

And for the icing on the cake, there was a soundtrack that was spot-on and had a thrilling effect, while also giving off a sense of danger. This was one tight game: first, it was spine-crawlingly wicked and then in free spins became a smooth sixties seduction.

RTP & Volatility

With an RTP of 96.5%, this medium volatility slot is above average. It’s a nice balance for those who prefer to take risks and feel the thrill in slots games.

If you enjoyed playing Black Widow by IGT then you’re going to love Caught in the Widow’s Web.

Perhaps, some male gamblers might feel like running away after witnessing the Widow stab, poison and strangle her way to riches; nevertheless, we believe that this slot machine is worth a try.

The scatter catch is really creative and the overall package has a lot of potential.
