About the Game
Baron Samedi features five reels, three rows and 25 possible paylines. There are 36 collectable features, with plenty of wilds, multipliers and mystery symbols among them. Tarot cards are the symbols to look out for, and every time two scatter symbols appear on the reels, these cards appear to give their gifts to you.
Respins are a big feature of the game, and you can collect Voodoo Respins as well as conventional free spins and respins. Two scatter symbols will give you one respin when three features are active. If you acquire three to five scatter symbols on the reels, then you are given between seven and 15 free spins.
Further complexity is added by the card collection feature. A set of 36 cards is held by the ‘dealer’ in the top left corner of the screen. You are dealt cards according to how you spin the reels, and the cards can be played to boost winnings and bonus awards. There are three categories of cards, with each being a different colour. The red, purple and green cards all offer different bonuses to players. Mystery cards are also available, offering even more variety right here at SBaby.

The Verdict
Baron Samedi offers more complexity and opportunities to show skill than on many online casino games on the market.

More entertainment is provided by the mysterious and scary voodoo theme. This game offers a world of fun that is well worth stepping into.
