Fear the Dark at a glance
Fear the Dark is a Hacksaw Gaming slot, played on a 6x6 grid with cluster pays. The action comes from multipliers, darkness spins (grid shrinks to 2x2) and full moon multipliers (up to 100x). Its top prize is 5,000x the stake; 59% of the 1,020 slots we track can pay more. Volatility is extreme: expect very long dry spells; most of its value sits in rare top wins.
Hacksaw Gaming lists 96.25% as the default return to player (RTP) and also builds 94.33%, 92.36% and 88.25% versions that casinos can choose instead. RTP is an average over millions of spins; it doesn't predict a single session.
We haven't found Fear the Dark at the New Jersey or Michigan casinos we track yet. New titles often reach US casinos weeks after their global launch; the nightly sweep will list it here when it does.
