Fear the Dark is a 6-reel, 6-row cluster-pays game. The maximum win possible is 5,000 times the bet, achievable in the Alone in the Dark free spins mode.
Landing the Moon Man scatter symbol activates the Full Moon mode and triggers 2–5 symbol multipliers at the top of the grid, each corresponding to a high-paying symbol. Possible multiplier values are: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x.
Symbol multipliers multiply all wins on their corresponding symbols while active. After no more new wins, multipliers are removed sequentially from left to right. All symbols of the relevant type, along with all low-paying symbols, are removed and replaced. The process repeats for each active multiplier. Full Moon mode ends once all multipliers have been removed.
The Alone in the Dark feature activates by landing at least 3 FS (Free Spins) scatter symbols in the base game:
The likelihood of landing Moon Man symbols increases during this feature. Each additional FS symbol during free spins awards a retrigger of 4 additional free spins.
During free spins, candles surrounding the grid remain lit. When all free spins are used, candles are extinguished, triggering Darkness Spins mode, which awards 2 extra spins each time you enter or reset this mode.
Before each Darkness Spin, the grid shrinks by 1 in each direction (first to 4×4, then to 2×2). Activating Full Moon mode or landing a free spin retrigger will reset the grid to 6×6 for the rest of the current spin and reset Darkness Spins.
Darkness Spins mode ends when neither Full Moon nor FS retrigger is achieved.
Payouts presented are based on the selected bet level. The RTP value is shown in-game.
Winnings are based on landing 5 or more connecting symbols of the same kind anywhere on the grid. Winning combinations are determined by specified requirements and apply to both the base game and bonus features unless stated otherwise. Each wager is eligible for all possible winning combinations per round.
After a win, winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in until there are no new wins.
The balance is displayed in the BALANCE area, showing the current balance, bets, and winnings in the chosen currency.
Bet levels are shown in the BET display and can be changed by adjusting the arrows. Allowed bet levels range from £0.10 to £5.00.

Winnings are paid according to the paytable, with multiple wins in one round added together. Only the highest win per win way is paid.
The maximum potential win is 5,000 times the bet. When reached, the game ends the round immediately, awards winnings, and discards any remaining free spins or bonus features.
For free spins, each spin’s win is shown in the WIN field and the total accumulated win is shown in the TOTAL WIN field next to remaining spins.
If disconnected, an interrupted round may be resumed by starting the game again. Unfinished rounds are stored and awarded or refunded as specified.
