A Dark Matter Slot: Sleuthing the paranormal within old England’s Wraith Manor.
Would you consider yourself a good detective? Are historic tales of maddening mystery right up your alley? If stirring Sherlock Holmes into a good Stephen King novel would be your perfect cup of tea, you’re sure to enjoy the latest addition to Microgaming’s Quickfire iGaming platform.
Fresh off the digital publishing presses of Slingshot Studios is a brand new online slot machine they call A Dark Matter. It is a dark matter, indeed, as a cunning sleuth attempts to uncover the truth behind an ominous presence that’s skulking through the shadows of Stonehurst.
The citizens of the old English town are becoming increasingly fearful, and all evidence points towards the confines of Wraith Manor. Are its eccentric inhabitants to blame? Or is there something more sinister going on? You’ll have to spin the reels to find out…
Sleuthing the Paranormal in A Dark Matter Slot
Slingshot Studios, creator of the wildly popular ICE 2018 show-stopper, Cash of Kingdoms, is at it again. This time, the company has brought us A Dark Matter, a 5×3 reel masterpiece of malign mystery. It features just 5 paylines, paying bidirectionally (left to right, and right to left) and a series of questionable characters as the game’s highest paying symbols. The hardened detective; the frightened maid; the ever-suspicious Old Bill; the leering matriarch of the manor – everyone is a suspect!
The game’s logo is the wild. When appearing stacked, each instance mutates into a mysterious dark plasma, reaching out with appendage-like claws to grasp the symbols of adjacent positions and expand across an additional reel.
Should a stack of wilds appear on reels 2 and 4 in the same spin, they will each expand onto the central reel to create a third stack of wilds, making up a central 3×3 grid of x2 multiplier wilds, and thereby virtually guaranteeing a massive payout in both directions.
The gold and emerald embossed door knocker is the scatter symbol. When 3 scatters appear on the reels in a single spin, it instantly awards a scatter pay of x3 the total bet, plus 12 free spins. Wilds always appear stacked during free spins, ensuring their ability to envelope adjacent reels. Every scatter that lands during the feature adds +1 free spin to the current total.
Just in time for Halloween…
A Dark Matter went live earlier this month at all Microgaming-powered online casinos featuring the Quickfire platform. Built in HTML5, it’s compatible with all major operating systems and devices, including Windows PC and Mac computers, as well as Android and iOS tablets and smartphones. Best of all, it’s been made available just in time for Halloween.
The rolling fog emanating from the woods surrounding the malevolent manor melds perfectly with a haunting soundtrack. The Lady Wraith is hiding something. Could it be the paranormal presence of the late Lord of the Manor? Join Detective Nathan Highmore, and maybe – just maybe – you can be the keen-witted sleuth who finally helps him in his quest to unravel the baleful mystery of A Dark Matter Slot.
