Habanero provider brings us a new 3D video slot by the name of Pumpkin Patch™, quite entertaining under the theme of pumpkins, a very neat graphic chart, surprising visual effects, and as a soundtrack a bit of country music and the sounds of our friends the squirrel, the multicoloured crow, without forgetting our pumpkin and his mobile phone!
In a faraway land called Pumpkinland, everything was going smoothly. Every year pumpkins were born, cared for by their owners, and then prepared and sold for Halloween. Norbert, one of the farmers, played country music for them because he said he had read a study on music and plants.
Indeed, Norbert was a modern farmer by vocation who sought the well-being of his plants above all else. He researched on the internet to improve his techniques and get the best products in the neighbourhood! Norbert DJ, as all his neighbours called him, went to the fields every morning with his radio to look after his fruit, vegetables and cereals with country music!
It was time to plant the pumpkins because they had to be beautiful and huge for the arrival of Halloween. Norbert DJ set off as usual, singing and dancing, to plant his pumpkins and tend to his crops. On the way, he met Corbec Color, a multicoloured raven that turned out to be a wizard trapped in the bird's body.
Indeed, this sorcerer was always acting up, really crazy, so to punish him, the council of sorcerers had locked him up in a crow's body. Obviously, black is not his signature colour, so our raven had gone to get his feathers dyed and he was splitting his sides when people looked at him (easily recognisable in the game Habanero Pumpkin Patch™!).
Our good farmer, also a bit of a madman it must be said, met Corbec Color, who accompanied him for a while. Norbert DJ was friendly enough and this funny rare bird really amused him! Totally different from the birds he knew, but as eccentric as he was! So our two friends went for a walk together.
To thank the brave peasant, Corbec Color gave him a potion that he had stolen from his fellow wizards and hidden under the wing. He tells Norbert DJ to pour it on one of the pumpkin seeds, and to make a wish that will come true. Not very convinced by Mr Corbec Color's speech, he kept the vial in his pocket to take it out once the plants were sown, but hey: nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Finally he arrived in his huge field, turned on his radio, spun around like a professional dancer, and started planting the pumpkins and corn to the rhythm of country music! Everyone was speechless, thinking that the poor farmer was missing a bolt! But he carried on happily without really being bothered by what people thought of him. He was unique and no one could stand in his way!
When he had finished planting the pumpkins and corn, Norbert DJ remembered his friend Corbec Color's vial, and smiling and not really believing it, he poured it on one of the seeds he had just planted! His wish was that this pumpkin would come to life, and every day the farmer who loved music above all else came to water his plants with his radio to make them happier!
When the plants started to grow, our sweetheart realised that one of the pumpkins was not like the others, that it was moving to the sound of music! Impossible, said the villagers, but no! He was not dreaming! It was indeed the little pumpkin who was dancing to the music! He couldn't believe his eyes, was it his wish that was coming true?
The days went by and our friend Norbert DJ, the farmer with a passion for music, spent his days pampering his pumpkins, especially one he had named Fleetwood, in honour of the great musical group Fleetwood Mac, which was his favourite. Until one day he heard a little voice telling him: I want to change profession! I want to become a scarecrow!
Norbert DJ couldn't believe his ears! Seriously? A talking pumpkin? No, he hadn't had anything to drink that day, he was clear. He was not dreaming, it was Fleetwood who had spoken to him! Fleetwood wanted to change his life and become a scarecrow who would watch over the crops of his dearest farmer!
The living pumpkin had a very infectious laugh, a bon vivant like his beloved master! Now what Fleetwood wanted was to dress up, but not in any way, the style had to be very colourful and extra-solar, like Agatha Ruiz de la P rada, that's right a purple jacket, feathers, a big hat the same colour as his jacket, a green skirt and a grey waistcoat. Very normal, isn't it?
Nestor the squirrel, a bit of a wacko, spent the day in the field pulling the tails off pumpkins and being chased by Corbec Colour, and Fleetwood dancing to the music with his pipe in his mouth, which Norbert DJ put on from morning to night: it was really a joy at the farmer's house, and the people around now envied him. It was always a party with the good farmer!
Firstly let's start with the Pumpkin feature, any Corbec Color symbol (the rare bird), appearing next to a pumpkin, spikes it, blows it up and changes it to wilds to cover all positions on the reel before payouts are awarded.
Any Nestor the Squirrel symbol that appears next to a pumpkin, rips off its tail and turns the pumpkin symbol into a wild, before the payouts are awarded. Many of the combinations that appear on the screen are random.
Free games are also part of the Pumpkin Patch™ slot features, with 3 or more scatter symbols appearing anywhere in the base game, except for the wild symbols and triggering the Free Spins feature except for the wild symbols which directly award 8 additional free spins.
All prizes are tripled in the free games and the free spins are played at the same level as the game bet that triggered them. When corn symbols land in a winning combination in the base game of Pumpkin Patch™, they are added to the number of pending free games.
The free games feature is triggered by more than 30 corn symbols collected in the Pumpkin Patch™ random game base game, and are recorded for each betting pattern. The countdown starts with the 8 for each configuration. At the end of the free game, the count for corn is reset to 8 for the bet configuration.
Habanero's Pumpkin Patch™ cash game is constructed of 5 reels and 3 rows. A one-armed bandit that gets noticed to remain quite entertaining. With a bet value of €0.01 to €20, bets can be made from €0.25 all the way up to €500, meaning that high rollers who want to bet big are in for a treat! These hilarious characters make the graphics a success and with a little country music in the background it puts us in the mood from the start.
There aren't many features, but the average volatility of the game means that you can collect prizes right from the start! The special effects are great too! When the pumpkin picks up its phone and marks a number, it warns you that you are going to get a prize, when you win a good piece our pumpkin starts dancing, it's so cool! Or when the pumpkins are blown up by the rare bird or the squirrel rips off its tail, that's a real treat! I really recommend you come and try Pumpkin Patch™.
