Designed by Random Logic and powered by 888 software, A Nightmare on Elm Street is an incredibly creepy slot based on Wes Craven’s 1984 film of the same name. The five-reel slot has 30 fixed paylines and can be played from 1p to £300 per spin.
Theme
Horror fans will know exactly what to expect from a slot bearing the title of one of Hollywood’s most famous scary films. Freddy Krueger is back and stands ominously at the side of the reels. Symbols include characters from the film as well as blood-spattered playing card icons. You’ll also see various scatter symbols and Freddy himself posing as the wild symbol.
Expanding Wild
As someone who can enter your dreams, it would be rather disappointing if Freddy Krueger were just a regular old wild symbol. Luckily he’s not. Whenever the wild symbol lands on the middle reel, it will expand to a full-length portrait of the protagonist covering the whole reel. All wins made using the expanded wild are subject to a 2x multiplier.
Free Spins
The free spins round is activated when you land three or more of the glove scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. You’ll be rewarded with 10, 20 or 30 free spins for three, four or five symbols respectively. Unfortunately the free spins round doesn’t make use of the multiplier feature and the free spins can’t be retriggered.
Never Sleep Again Feature
Landing three of the Never Sleep Again symbols activates this mini game. As Freddy Krueger enters people’s dreams to kill them it’s obviously wise to stay awake as long as possible. You’ll be asked to pick from a number of items such as coffee or a television to help keep you from nodding off. The longer you manage to stay awake, the more cash you can win. The bonus round is over when your eyes close.
Pick Me Feature
When the wild symbol appears simultaneously on reels one and five the Pick Me bonus will trigger. You get to choose from a variety of potions to reveal a prize.
Progressive Jackpot
No review of A Nightmare on Elm Street would be complete without mentioning the progressive jackpots. There are two available – the Freddy Jackpot and the higher A Nightmare on Elm Street Jackpot. Your chances of landing either are increased with higher stakes.
