Are you afraid of the dark? Do you prefer to sleep with the light on? If so, Fear the Dark from Hacksaw Gaming might not be the online slot to while away a few spins on a dark and stormy night. Then again, Fear the Dark is part of Hacksaw Gaming's Pocketz Series of slots which, so far, have been charming, cheerful games, though not without the ability to bite. Or, in the case of Fear the Dark to spook, all set alongside features such as Full Moon multipliers, Alone in the Dark free spins, and… Darkness Spins.
However, Fear the Dark is fearsome in the way an early Disney animation film might be. In other words, not terrifying at all, really, certainly nothing like Hand of Anubis from Hacksaw Gaming as a comparison. Its largely black and white background depicts a cemetery on a cloudy night, full of spiky guard rails, naked trees, and gravestones. Pale green ghosties drift past on a regular basis, and the quirky wee sound effects are spot on. Not overly terrifying, but a cute wee 'spooky' Pocketz slot to fire up on your mobile phone.
However, despite being a Pocketz slot, Fear the Dark runs just as happily on any other device and takes bets of $0.10 to $100 per spin. It's a cluster paying grid slot, held on a 6x6 sized gaming panel, firing off a win when at least 5 matching symbols land adjacent to each other in horizontal or vertically connected positions. Winning symbols pop off the board, and others drop down to fill the spaces, meaning consecutive wins on the same spin are possible. With a 3 out of 5 rated medium volatile math model, the highest regular RTP value is 96.25%.
Cute and kinda spooky is one way of describing Fear the Dark's paytable, too. Its lows are 5 black and white stairs, a tombstone, cup, cube, and cross, while the high pays are a technicolor ghost, green head, pig, clown, and zombie. Landing a 5-of-a-kind win pays 0.1 to 1.5 times the bet, while at best, a 14+ sized cluster is worth 12.8 to 120 times the bet. Fear the Dark does not have a wild symbol; perhaps it got scared off?
