October is always heavy on spooky releases, and this year the first week alone brought vampires, cursed dolls, a coven of witches and, for some reason, alligators. Four of those new slots have already reached sweepstakes lobbies, so here’s what each one does and where it can be played with Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins.

October’s New Sweeps Slots at a Glance
All four were released between October 1 and October 6, and all four are confirmed live at Stake.us, with one also spotted at Rolla.
| Slot | Studio | Released | RTP | Max Win |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Le Vampire | Hacksaw Gaming | October 1 | 96.36% | 15,000x |
| Witchcraft Riches | BGaming | October 5 | 96.68% | 5,000x |
| Demonic Dolls | Hacksaw Gaming | October 5 | 96.26% | 10,000x |
| Gator Hunters 2 | Nolimit City | October 6 | 96.00% | 30,000x |
RTP can differ between casinos, because studios offer several settings, so the figures here are the ones Stake.us lists on each game page.
Le Vampire
Hacksaw’s raccoon is back, dressed as a vampire this time. Le Vampire plays on a 6×5 grid with cluster pays and cascading wins, and it tops out at 15,000x. The fresh idea is Blood Squares. They work like the Golden Squares from earlier games in the series, only they skip the lowest coin tier, so anything they reveal is a Silver, Gold or Diamond Coin.
Gold Clovers can multiply coin values by up to 20x. Pots of Gold sweep up everything on the grid. There are three free spins modes for three, four or five scatters, and the top one guarantees a Rainbow or Epic Rainbow on every spin. Volatility is rated medium, which is gentle by Hacksaw standards.
Where to play: Stake.us, where it’s listed at 96.36%, and Rolla, which has it in its New tab.
Witchcraft Riches
BGaming went with a scatter pays setup here. Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid count as a win, the winners vanish, and new symbols refill the gaps. Multiplier Potions are what make it interesting. They can drop in during those refills carrying anything from x2 up to x500.
In free spins they go further, feeding a running total multiplier that keeps building for the whole round. Free spins need four, five or six Sorceress scatters, for 15, 16 or 17 spins. It is of high volatility, has a 5,000x max win, and the best RTP on this list.
Where to play: Stake.us, at 96.68%.
Players who like this pay-anywhere format will find more of the same in our guide to online slots at sweepstakes casinos.
Demonic Dolls
Hacksaw’s second October release is the creepier of the two. A 5×5 grid, cluster pays again, five or more connected symbols for a win. Everything runs through Wild Rattles. They substitute for pay symbols and carry multipliers between x2 and x100.
Land two in the same win and a respin fires, the rattles shift position, and they can merge into bigger Colossal Wilds with their multipliers combined.
That keeps going until the merging stops. Three bonus rounds scale up with scatters. All Dolled Up for three, with more rattles showing up. Bad Omens for four, one Wild Rattle guaranteed on every spin. Playtime is Over for five, which guarantees two. All three give 10 free spins. It is a medium volatility slot with a 10,000x max win.
Where to play: Stake.us, at 96.26%.
Gator Hunters 2
This is the one for players who want chaos. It’s high volatility, and the 30,000x max win is double anything else here. Gator Hunters is a 6×5 scatter pays slot, but the special symbols do the heavy lifting.
A Fire Zone lands at random and upgrades whatever sits inside it. Eater symbols clear out random symbols once the wins dry up, then turn wild. Revolvers spin last, firing off bullet values that range from x2 to x3,000. Free spins come in two versions, Gatornado Spins with seven spins or Fire Gatornado Spins with nine. Expect long quiet spells in between.
Where to play: Stake.us, at 96.00%.

Which New Slot Fits Which Player
Le Vampire and Demonic Dolls are the easier pair to settle into, both medium volatility with plenty going on in the base game. Witchcraft Riches suits players happy to wait for a bonus, and Gator Hunters 2 is strictly for those comfortable with big swings.
