Pumpkin Patch slot review
A garden scarecrow is put up to keep crows away from the harvest. In Habanero's Pumpkin Patch, where pumpkins, squirrels and crows treat you at Halloween and beyond, the roles are shuffled: the Scarecrow is a wild itself and opens Free Games, while a crow next to a pumpkin doesn't spoil the crop — it turns the pumpkin's whole reel wild. The harvest here ripens quietly: corn in winning combinations builds up pending Free Games, and the Scarecrows hand them out.
Planting plan: a 5x3 grid and 25 lines counted from both ends, medium volatility, RTP from ~86% to 98% and a cap of x1,316. Two mechanics grow here: the pumpkin's neighbours turn it into wilds, and 3 or more Scarecrows award the Free Games the corn has built up, plus another 8.
Who in this patch turns a pumpkin wild?
The patch is compact: 15 positions on a 5x3 grid and 25 lines. Combinations count both left to right and right to left. There are two wilds in the patch — the Scarecrow and a regular Wild.
A pumpkin has two possible neighbours, and each changes it in its own way. A squirrel next to a pumpkin turns it into a Wild. A crow next to a pumpkin goes further: everything on the pumpkin's reel becomes Wild.
What does the corn build up before the Scarecrows arrive?
Free Games here build up first and are handed out all at once.
💡 Pending Free Games
- corn symbols in a winning combination increase the number of pending Free Games;
- 3 or more Scarecrows anywhere award the pending Free Games;
- on top of that, the same Scarecrows award an additional 8 Free Games.
💡 The Scarecrow's two roles
- the Scarecrow is one of the game's two wilds;
- 3 or more Scarecrows anywhere trigger Free Games.
The bonus is made of two parts: whatever the corn has built up, plus a fixed 8 games on top.
How generous is this patch?
Moderately: MEDIUM volatility and a maximum multiplier of x1,316, or 1,316 times the bet. However many Free Games the corn builds up, x1,316 remains the limit for the whole game.
What kind of RTP season you get, though, is the casino's call.
⚠️ The casino picks the RTP season
The same patch yields differently from season to season. Pumpkin Patch has five such "seasons" — RTP ~86%, 92%, 94%, 97% and 98% — and the venue decides which one you get. An ~86% season brings ≈12 percentage points less theoretical return than a 98% one. Find out yours in the game info before your first spin.
What came up
- Symbols pay both left to right and right to left.
- There are two wilds: the Scarecrow and the Wild.
- A squirrel next to a pumpkin turns it Wild, and a crow next to a pumpkin turns its whole reel Wild.
- Corn in winning combinations builds up pending Free Games, and 3 or more Scarecrows award them along with 8 more.
What didn't sprout
- The cap is x1,316: the harvest doesn't grow past 1,316 times the bet.
- A pumpkin only transforms with a neighbour: it needs a squirrel or a crow next to it.
- Pending Free Games are only awarded when 3 or more Scarecrows come together.
- The casino may pick an ~86% RTP season — ≈12 points below 98%.
Who should get digging in this patch?
| Player profile | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Players who like a bonus that grows before it's even triggered | 🟢 Yes | Corn in winning combinations builds up pending Free Games, and 3 or more Scarecrows award them plus 8 more. |
| Fans of wilds born from neighbours | 🟢 Likely yes | A squirrel next to a pumpkin turns it Wild; a crow next to a pumpkin turns its whole reel Wild. |
| Anyone expecting a bonus of fixed length | 🟠 Likely no | Free Games are made up of what the corn has built up plus 8, so their number depends on how much the corn has managed to collect. |
| Players banking on a crow every spin | 🟡 Caution | A crow only transforms a reel when it sits next to a pumpkin; the cap is x1,316, and the RTP season may turn out to be ~86%. |
⚡ Pumpkin Patch: who does what in the patch?
Everyone in Pumpkin Patch has a job. The squirrel: next to a pumpkin, it turns it Wild. The crow: next to a pumpkin, it turns the pumpkin's whole reel Wild. The corn: in winning combinations, it builds up pending Free Games. The Scarecrow: it works as a wild, and three or more of them award the pending Free Games plus 8 more. The risk on this smallholding is moderate — MEDIUM volatility, an x1,316 cap — while the RTP season, from ~86% to 98%, is chosen by the casino; check it in the game info. On an ordinary farm the scarecrow chases the crows away; here they're on the same team: the crow clears a reel for wilds, the Scarecrow opens the bonus.

1
How many Wilds are there in Pumpkin Patch?
Two: the scarecrow and a regular Wild. The scarecrow also unlocks the bonus if three or more of them land on the grid.

How is the squirrel useful in Pumpkin Patch?
If a squirrel lands next to a pumpkin, that pumpkin turns into a Wild. This adds one more Wild symbol to the grid.

What does the crow do next to a pumpkin?
It turns the entire reel the pumpkin is on into Wilds. Instead of a single cell, all three become Wild.
4
Why collect corn in Pumpkin Patch?
Corn in a winning combination adds free games to the stash. The more wins with corn, the longer the upcoming bonus.
5
How many free spins do the scarecrows award?
All the games collected by the corn, plus 8 more on top. For this, you need three or more scarecrows anywhere on the grid.
6
