Slot Features
The game has a couple of bonus features that come along with the Wild and the Scatter. Wild can substitute for any symbol in the game, except the Scatter, for when there is a need to form a win combo. Wilds appear only on reels 2, 3 and 4.
Scatter can also form Scatter wins that are multiplied by the total bet, and they can, of course, pay in any positions, anywhere on the reels. Just keep in mind that the Scatters can appear only on reels 2, 3 and 4.
Stacked Wilds
Wilds can appear stacked on reels 2 and 4 during the base game, and they can appear super stack on those same reels only during the Free Spins feature rather than the base game.
Invading Wilds
A full stack of Wilds on reels 2 and 4 will invade an adjacent reel and turn it Wild which will make reel 3 also completely Wild. During Free Spins, a full Wild stack on reels 2 and 4 will turn reel 3 completely Wild, and double up your wins.
Free Spins
The bonus spins feature is triggered with 3 or more Scatters on the reels. When this happens, you will be awarded with 12 spins. During the feature, each following Scatter will award 1 additional spin.
Summary
A Dark Matter is a very well designed slot with high volatility, and a maximum payout capped at x2400 your bet. The theme and the background story are developed very well that it ever resembles to one of the stories written by Edgar Allan Poe. Even though the gamplay and features are not as mysterious as the storyline, we would still recommend you giving this game a couple of spins.
I absolutely love this game. I play it non-stop. I like the fact that I can play as low as a 5 cent spin.
The free spin bonus is great. I think I might go play it now.
The only thing I don't like is that the running wild feature, which has the option to move either way, does not automatically go the way of the highest win. Apart from that, I think it is a perfect game.
