Nightfall

Nightfall Review

This game offers the potential for significant payouts, but it typically requires patience. The game features a 5x3 grid against a dark city backdrop. Above the grid is a reel with Instant Prize Slabs, offering prizes from 2x to 5,000x that change randomly with each base game spin.

These prizes are won by landing 3 Fireball and/or Multiplier Fireball symbols on the same reel within a single cascading sequence. These slabs are not triggered often in the base game. The bonus round is focused on Fireball and Slab Prize cracking. The potential maximum win is 20,000x.

Game Features

The mid-level symbols pay 50x, 75x and 100x your stake for 5-of-a-kind wins, while the top-tier symbol pays 1,000x your stake for the same. The Fire Orb symbol acts as both the game’s Wild and Scatter, substituting for regular symbols to complete wins. Winning symbols are removed via the Cascading mechanic, with new symbols dropping to fill the gaps as long as you keep winning.

The Instant Prize Slab sits above the regular grid, with prize tiles worth 2x to 5,000x your stake. You need Fireball symbols on the regular reels to win these prizes. The slab sizes and prizes change each base game spin (a single prize slab can cover 1 to all 5 reels, affecting the probability of cracking it).

Fireball symbols attempt to break the prize slab above the reel where they appear. Three fireball hits within the same cascading sequence win the prize. The slab is then removed and replaced. Fireball symbols can appear in stacks, meaning more may cascade down to complete the job.

In addition to Fireball symbols, you can land Fireball Multiplier symbols with values between x2 and x50. The multiplier boosts the slab prize above the reel, then hits the slab like a regular Fireball.

Collecting 3 Fire Orb scatters in the meter within the same cascading sequence triggers the Bonus Round. Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters awards a 5x, 50x or 1,000x payout up front, respectively. You get a minimum of 6 free spins, with +1 extra spin for each triggering scatter above 3. During the feature, only blanks, Fireballs, Multiplier Fireballs and Scatter symbols may land.

Instant Prize Slabs do not change each spin, making it easier to win the prizes. Prizes can be boosted by up to 3 separate spin multiplier fireballs before being won. Scatter symbols are collected in the orb meter, and you get +2 extra spins per 3 scatters you collect to fill the meter.

Players in eligible jurisdictions can purchase the bonus round.

The Gameplay Experience

The color scheme is dark. The pace is excellent. The game offers smooth gameplay.

You'll need to prepare for many non-winning spins. The base game can be a grind. Sudden wins can occur, but it can be tiresome chasing smaller slab prizes. This can change in the bonus round, but it depends on your initial slab prize draw. Patience may be needed, and the game may not suit players looking for frequent action.
