About this Slot
Fear the Dark from Hacksaw Gaming is a horror-themed slot with 6 reels, 6 rows and cluster pays mechanics. The game has an RTP of 96.25%, high volatility and a maximum win of 5,000x.
The game uses cascading reels, where winning clusters drop away to allow new symbols to fall into their place. Multipliers are placed on the grid during bonus features, reaching values of up to x100 on individual symbols.
Landing 3 F scatter symbols triggers 10 free spins. Landing 4 F scatter symbols triggers 15 free spins. Each additional F symbol beyond the initial trigger awards 4 more spins.
The Moon Man scatter activates Full Moon mode, which places 2 to 5 symbol multipliers across the grid. Moon Man symbols appear more frequently during the free spins round.
After free spins end, the game enters Darkness Spins mode. During this mode, the grid shrinks first to 4 rows and 4 columns, then further to 2 rows and 2 columns. Each entry into or reset of Darkness Spins awards 2 additional spins.
Four bonus buy options are available. BonusHunt FeatureSpins costs 3x the bet. Moon Man FeatureSpins costs 40x the bet. Buy 10 Free Spins costs 100x the bet. Buy 15 Free Spins costs 150x the bet.
