Nightfall Slot Review

Nightfall Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Nightfall slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines. Simply landing 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols from left to right across any of the 20 paylines will give you a winning combination. Wins need to begin from the leftmost reel too.

Stakes range from 10p to £100 a spin. There’s a Total Bet button on the desktop version which, when clicked on, shows all 12 available bet options. On the mobile/tablet version, click on the 3 lines to see the bet range.

If you’re playing outside the UK, you have a Turbo Mode which can be located within the Settings section. You can also play with or without sounds, sound effects and music. Finally, there’s an Autoplay function which allows up to 100 autospins with loss and single win limits. This isn’t available to UK players though.

The Nightfall RTP is 96.36% which is higher than the 96% offered in most slot games. The volatility is in the medium to high bracket with the bigger wins coming from the bonus features.

In terms of payouts, the maximum win is 20,000 x your total stake per spin. This will be won once every 8,795,075 spins on average. The max win can be won by filling the reels with the highest value symbols or from the Instant Prize slabs and multipliers.

Theme – embrace the darkness

With a gothic theme, the Nightfall slot is a dark game that takes you on a nocturnal adventure that’s filled with gargoyles, chiming church bells and hot fireballs. It’s set over a gothic-style town which looks a little like you’ve been transported to Transylvania.

With a rocking soundtrack, you will see bats fly behind the reels. It really sets the tone. On the reels you will see diamond, club, spade and heart symbols. The higher value symbols include dragon, owl and ram heads as well a gothic vampiress. The gothic vampiress is by far the best paying symbol with 3, 4 or 5 in combination paying 5, 50 or 1,000 x your total stake.

The Fire Orb is the wild and scatter symbol. Substituting for all symbols bar the Fireball and Multiplier Fireball symbols, 3 ,4 or 5 across a payline will pay like the gothic vampire (5, 50 or 1,000 x your total stake).

Nightfall Mobile

The Nightfall slot has been created using HTML5 technology. This means you can enjoy this gothic release on mobile, tablet, laptop and PC devices. Whilst it’s always better to play on a larger screen, Push Gaming is a mobile-first provider meaning they focus on mobile players.

Nightfall Bonus Features

The Nightfall slot has 4 bonus features. With cascades for successive wins, look out for Fireballs as 3 on a reel will reward you with the Instant Prize slab above that reel. Worth up to 5,000 x bet, Fireball Multipliers up to 50x can also appear. This applies in the Free Games feature with Instant Prize slabs remaining between free spins for bigger payouts potentially.

Cascades feature

When you land a winning combination, the Cascades feature is triggered. The winning symbols explode and are removed from the reels. New symbols fall into the newly vacated positions allowing for the chance to land another win. The cascades continue as long as new wins are formed.

Fireball feature

Look out for the Fireball symbol landing as activates the Fireball feature. This symbol will fire a fireball up to the slab above that reel. When 3 Fireball symbols appear on the same reel, they fire 3 fireballs directly up to the slab above the reel. This clears the slab and rewards the Instant Prize attached to that slab.

Instant Prize slabs vary in length, covering across 1 reel up to 5 reels. The Instant Prize slabs consist of stake multipliers ranging from 2 to 5,000 x your total stake. On each base game spin, a new set of Instant Prize slabs appear.

You can also see Fireball Multiplier symbols which, when landing, will fire up to the slab above the reel and multiply it accordingly. The multiplier values can be 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 25x or 50x. It then transforms into a Fireball symbol and fire a fireball up to the slab above it.

Free Games feature

The Free Games feature is played when 3 or more Fire Orb wild/scatters land and collect. 3, 4 or 5 of them will pay 5, 50 or 1,000 x your total stake. You’ll be awarded 6, 7 or 8 free spins for 3, 4 or 5 Fire Orbs.

Things intensify with a red mist taking over the visuals. With only Fireball, Fireball Multipliers and Fire Orb symbols appearing on the reels, you will notice Instant Prize slabs will stay above the reels between free spins. This increases your chances of winning the prizes with more Fireballs landing.

When 3 Fire Orb symbols land and are collected, 2 additional free spins will be awarded. You will see a meter to the left of the reels showing you how many you need. With no limits, you can win an unlimited number of free spins.

Bonus Buy feature

For non-UK players, there’s a Bonus Buy feature. Buy your way into the Free Games feature for 113.5 x your total stake. If you use this extra, it will also increase the RTP to 96.71%.

Nightfall Review Summary – Instant Prize slabs key to monstrous wins

Brilliantly designed, the Nightfall slot has a more sinister feel than the previously-released Fat Drac (which has more comedic value). The teams at Push Gaming have to be applauded as the soundtrack is also top-notch.

The normal gameplay is pretty standard. The highest value symbols can pack quite the killer punch (the gothic vampiress and Fire Orb wild/scatter). 5 of them will pay 1,000 x stake meaning a screen full will result in a 20,000 x stake payout.

The biggest wins will come from the Instant Prize slabs which range up to 5,000 x stake. A 10x multiplier in theory could land you a 50,000 x bet payout but the max win is capped at 20,000 x stake per spin or free spin. Instant Prizes are nothing new for Push Gaming with Bison Battle and Dinopolis also offering them.

The Free Games feature will give you bigger wins in theory with Instant Prize slabs staying on the reels between free spins. If you’re not a fan of instant prizes, Nightfall is not likely to pique your interest. Comparing to Bison Battle, that also have instant prizes, you can win up to 50,000 x stake with the probability occurring ever 4.8 million spins. In this game, it will happen ever 8.79 million spins on average so less 55% less frequently.

In conclusion, the Nightfall slot game looks great and is all about Fireball symbols bringing the Instant Prize slabs into play. The gameplay isn’t original and the win potential is lower than the 50,000 x bet max wins offered in many other Push Gaming games.
