A Dark Matter slot review
October is always a fun time for online slots releases since many of the top gaming providers will strive to outdo themselves with darker and spookier slots. This year Microgaming has teamed up with Slingshot Studios to bring us the five-payline A Dark Matter slot, which hides many a winning secret within.
The features of this high volatility slot may not be the most mind-blowing, but the smooth gameplay, engaging design and eerie background music are well worth a spin. Read our review to learn more about the mysteries and features behind the slot.

A Dark Matter bonus features
As far as features go, A Dark Matter doesn’t offer anything particularly unique. However, with quality features of free spins and invading wilds that work nicely into the theme, it’s still a fantastic slot to play, with plenty of potential prizes to be found in the bonus round.
Free spins
Scatter symbols across reels two, three and four will open the door to the manor and reveal a round of 12 free spins. And not only that, but stacked wilds can appear during this round, making these free spins potentially quite valuable.
You can also add on an unlimited number of additional free spins, with one per extra scatter symbol found.
We definitely felt like the bigger prizes were to be found in the free spins round, so it’s one to watch out for.
Wilds
As well as regular wilds to substitute for other symbols and help complete your paylines, the invading wilds are quite a fun feature in this slot. Whenever a stacked wild appears, you’ll see it “invade” an adjacent reel to give you two full reels of stacked wilds.
If you happen to see stacked wilds appear on both the second and fourth reels, they’ll worth together to cover the third reel with wilds, with each subsequent win awarded a 2x multiplier.
A Dark Matter jackpot
In the halls of Wraith Manor you won’t find a jackpot, but you could find maximum wins of up to 1,200x your stake.
RTP and volatility
A Dark Matter is a high volatility slot, so although you may be searching the halls for wins for longer without success, you could come across bigger prizes than average. The free spins round can also be quite lucrative, and it’s definitely where the suspense of the game reaches its peak.
The return to player of 96.18% is slightly higher than average, so with a bit of luck this could be a valuable game to play.
A Dark Matter on mobile
Slingshot Studios and Microgaming have worked together to bring you a seamless mobile version of A Dark Matter, allowing it to be played across multiplier mobile and desktop devices.
