Assassin Moon Slot – Free Demo

A studio with scant web presence and a moon to hunt

Triple Edge Studios is one of those mysterious outfits with scant web presence. That makes it tough to dig far into their business. Sisters of Oz Jackpots is another title from the same studio.

The creator has opted for a 5x3 layout. That is to house the game. Every spin in this review's session was placed at a 20.00 stake, 440 spins in all.

Assassin Moon can be played by placing wagers of 0.10 to 20 per spin, but keep in mind this is the base wager level. The session opened with a balance of 98,220.00. Assassin Moon arrives with the Win Booster feature. It raises the price of each paid spin. With it switched on, the top bet reaches 50 per spin. Steering the play is a high volatility maths engine. Only 89 of the 440 spins paid anything, and 42 of those returned less than the stake.

Luna, dice and a sports car on 25 fixed lines

There are 25 fixed paylines. So wins happen when identical symbols land on neighbouring reels from left to right. One captured base-game frame at the 20.00 stake shows line 20 paying 20.00 in a total win of 70.00.

Valued at 2 to 4 times the wager, the J to A are the lower-paying bunch, while the other four are dice, a martini, a sports car and a target, these last four valued at 7.5x to 25x the stake, with the target at the top. Those figures are for five of a kind. That's all for the standard symbols. There is a stacked wild, Luna. Luna substitutes for every symbol except the Casino Chip and the Moon, and five of them pay 500x the bet. That leaves only two specials to address in the following section. The session's longest run without a win lasted 24 spins and ended on spin 98.

Casino Chips on reels 2 to 4 and the Jumbo Block

The crew has included a HyperHold feature, accompanied by a triggered number of free spins where a Jumbo Block comes into effect. Free Spins triggered twice in the 440 spins, the second round arriving 277 spins after the first.

The Casino Chip is the free spins scatter symbol, and one can land on each of reels 2, 3 and 4. Three of them also pay 1x the total bet. 3 that land award 10 free spins, and once inside, the central three reels join into a 3x3 Jumbo Block. The Jumbo Block shows a single large symbol on each free spin. Furthermore, 10 additional free spins are awarded if a Scatter Jumbo Block lands. Neither round in this session retriggered, so both ran for the base 10 spins.

Our Minty Verdict: Two Free Spins rounds in 440 spins paid 30x and 41x the stake, neither one landed the Scatter Jumbo Block that adds 10 more, and the Moons never reached the six that start HyperHold.

Win Booster at 2.5x and six Moons for HyperHold

The next extra is the Win Booster wager option, and in Assassin Moon, the wager rises to 2.5x. That puts additional Moon symbols on the reels, raising the RTP to 96.33%. It also remains active during free spins. The session here was played with the Win Booster off throughout.

The final extra is HyperHold. It is triggered when 6 or more Moons land. Each Moon shows 1.5x to 20x the bet or a jackpot, with the Mini at 50x, the Minor at 150x and the Major at 750x. They lock in position with 3 respins, and each fresh Moon resets the respins to 3, and filling all 15 positions awards the Mega jackpot, or 5,000x the wager. The feature ends when no respins remain, and it can also trigger during Free Spins.

8,800 staked across 440 spins at 20 a go

It is from Triple Edge Studios. Over the 440 spins played here, 8,800.00 was staked and 4,822.00 returned, a session return of 54.8%.

On the gameplay side of things, Assassin Moon is a high volatility slot, with wins of up to 12,500 times the wager achievable. The session's two Free Spins rounds paid 600.00 on spin 130 and 820.00 on spin 407, which is 30x and 41x the stake.

It triggers strong reactions at odds with its apparent simplicity.
