Game Features
Full Moon
Trigger the Full Moon feature by landing the Moon Man scatter symbol. This awards between 2 and 5 symbol multipliers above the grid, each linked to a specific high-value symbol. The potential multiplier values include: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, and 100x.
Each multiplier increases wins for its associated symbol while active. When no new wins occur, multipliers are removed one by one, moving from left to right. For each removed multiplier, all matching high-value symbols, alongside all low-value symbols, are eliminated and replaced with new symbols. This sequence continues for every active multiplier. The feature concludes when all multipliers have been cleared.
Alone in the Dark
The Alone in the Dark bonus is triggered by landing a minimum of 3 FS (Free Spins) scatter symbols during the base game:
- 3 FS symbols award 10 free spins
- 4 FS symbols award 15 free spins
During this feature, there are increased chances of encountering Moon Man symbols. Any extra FS scatter that appears during free spins grants an additional 4 free spins as a retrigger.
Darkness Spins
When all free spins end, the candles placed around the grid are extinguished and Darkness Spins mode begins, granting 2 extra spins each time you enter or reset this mode.
Before each Darkness Spin, the playing grid shrinks by one row and one column from each side, first reducing to a 4x4 grid, then to a 2x2 grid. If Full Moon mode is activated or a retrigger is achieved, the grid expands back to 6x6 for that spin, and Darkness Spins are reset.
This feature concludes if neither Full Moon mode is activated nor a free spin retrigger occurs.
Symbol Payouts
Payouts depend on the selected bet level. The current RTP value can be viewed within the game.
Ways to Win
Wins are awarded when 5 or more identical symbols connect anywhere on the grid. These combinations are valid in both the main game and bonus features, unless otherwise indicated. Each spin allows all possible winning combinations.
Following a win, the winning symbols are removed, allowing new symbols to drop into place. This continues until no new wins are formed.
