Microgaming's new slot titled 'A Dark Matter' has been getting a lot of attention. Not just because it's Microgaming, but because of its layout. Traditionally, many slots have between 20-25 paylines. A Dark Matter has taken a walk on the wild side boasting 5 reels and only 5 paylines. This does make for a very easy-to-play, classic game. But, does it keep experienced gamers entertained?

Aside from the traditional wild and scatter features (the wild substitutes any symbol in the game with the exception of the scatter and the scatter symbols will earn you free spins), A Dark Matter has a couple of bonus features to keep you on the hook.

You've got your Stacked Wilds. Your wild symbols can show up stacked but only on reels 2 and 4. They can also show up 'super stacked' on those same reels however, during the free spins game. This will no doubt earn you bigger wins and more coins in your pocket.

Invading Wilds gives you a full stack of wilds on reels 2 and 4. They will essentially 'invade' an adjacent reel and turn it wild. This in turn, makes reel 3 fully wild allowing you to double up your wins.

Lastly, you can activate the free spins feature by landing on 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. You will automatically receive 12 free spins when this happens. For every additional scatter you land on, you will get 1 extra free spin.

Although this game has a high level of volatility, it certainly keeps you on your toes!

Happy Spinning 🙂
