Hacksaw Gaming has launched its latest horror-themed slot game, Evil Eyes, featuring a captivating blend of eerie themes and innovative gameplay mechanics. This new slot offers players a 5-reel, 5-row format with 3,125 ways to win, incorporating the unique Evil Eye symbol and the Evil Spread mechanic, which intensify the gaming experience.
Core gameplay and features:
Evil Eyes introduces the Evil Eye symbol, which activates the Evil Spread mechanic when it lands under a winning symbol. This feature marks all winning symbols, which are then extended to the end of the grid in the direction indicated by the Evil Eye, either right or down, replacing them with the winning symbol. The mechanic adds an intriguing layer to the gameplay, with the potential to significantly increase payouts.
The game promises a maximum win of 12,500 times the player’s bet, achievable in all game modes, enhancing its appeal to both new players and seasoned gamblers.
Triggered by landing at least three FS scatter symbols, the Wicked Night Bonus feature focuses on non-paying symbols, Evil Eye symbols, and multiplier scatter symbols. The Evil Eye symbols collect multipliers as they glance in various directions, with the potential to activate additional multipliers that add to the reel’s totals. This feature is rich with engagement, utilizing a life-based system that resets with each collection of a multiplier, maintaining suspense throughout the gameplay.
The Graveyard Bonus feature:
Activated by four FS scatter symbols, this feature grants ten free spins and uses the Evil Spread mechanic to eliminate low symbols from future spins, increasing the chance for higher wins. Additional FS symbols during this feature can award extra spins, further enhancing the player’s chance to win big.
A standout feature, the Wicked Epic Drop, can randomly transform a base game spin into the Wicked Night bonus feature, guaranteeing the presence of at least three Evil Eye symbols and four multipliers. This feature does not use lives but offers a direct path to significant wins, reverting to the base game afterward unless another Epic Drop is triggered.
FS symbols appear on specific reels in the base game and bonus features, guiding the gameplay structure. The game also offers several Bonus Buy options, where players can purchase spins that increase the likelihood of triggering bonus games or guarantee wins with the Evil Eye symbol, ranging in cost from 3x to 200x the bet depending on the feature.
Technical specifications:
The RTP (Return to Player) varies, offering different levels from a high of 96.24% to a low of 88.36%, accommodating various market conditions and player preferences. The volatility is rated high, ensuring an exciting gaming experience with substantial payout potential.
Evil Eyes by Hacksaw Gaming marks a thrilling addition to the horror slot genre, combining atmospheric elements with groundbreaking gameplay mechanics and features. Its innovative approach to bonuses and mechanics promises to keep players engaged and returning for a suspenseful and potentially lucrative gaming experience.
