Play Fear the Dark at Slots UK
Game Overview
Fear the Dark is developed by Hacksaw and features 6 reels with a cluster-pays system. Players can achieve wins up to 5,000 times their bet, attainable within the Alone in the Dark free spins feature.
Gameplay Features
Full Moon Mode
Activating the Full Moon feature occurs when the Moon Man scatter symbol lands on the reels. This mode triggers 2 to 5 symbol multipliers positioned at the top of the grid, each corresponding to a high-paying symbol. Possible multiplier values include: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, and 100x.
Each multiplier applies to wins on its matching symbol while active. Once no further wins occur, multipliers are removed one by one from left to right. All related symbol types, along with all low-paying symbols, are then cleared from the grid and replaced with new symbols. This sequence repeats for each active multiplier. Full Moon mode concludes when all multipliers have been removed.
Alone in the Dark Free Spins
The Alone in the Dark feature is activated by landing a minimum of 3 FS (Free Spins) scatter symbols in the base game:
- 3 FS symbols: awards 10 free spins
- 4 FS symbols: awards 15 free spins
During free spins, the chance of the Moon Man symbol appearing is increased. Any FS symbol appearing during free spins retriggers 4 additional free spins.
Darkness Spins Mode
While free spins are active, candles surrounding the grid remain lit. When free spins are exhausted, candles are extinguished, leading to the Darkness Spins mode, which grants 2 extra spins on each entry or reset.
At the start of each Darkness Spin, the grid size reduces by one row and column in each direction—first to 4x4, then to 2x2. Activation of either the Full Moon feature or a free spin retrigger resets the grid to 6x6 for the remainder of that spin and restarts Darkness Spins. The mode ends if neither condition is achieved.
Symbol Payouts
Payouts depend on the selected bet amount. The RTP value can be viewed within the game interface.
How to Win
Wins are awarded for connecting clusters of 5 or more matching symbols positioned anywhere on the grid. These winning combinations apply during both the base game and bonus features, unless otherwise specified. Every wager has the potential to trigger any possible win combinations in a round.
Once a win occurs, winning symbols are removed and replaced by new symbols dropping in, continuing until no new wins form.
