Nightfall (Push Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Nightfall Slot Overview

When I first loaded Nightfall, the gothic city skyline and that giant moon grabbed me straight away. Push Gaming have gone for a spooky gargoyle vibe, with bats flapping across the screen and crunchy rock music in the background. Underneath the atmosphere you get a focused setup with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines, paying from the leftmost reel when three or more land. The whole show revolves around fiery orbs smashing instant prize slabs above the reels, which gives every spin a target.

Nightfall Slot Information

From a mechanical point of view, Nightfall keeps things tight. You spin a compact 5x3 grid with 20 fixed lines, paying from the leftmost reel when three or more matching symbols land. Wins trigger cascades, so winning icons explode and new ones drop in. Stakes run from 0.10 up to 100 per spin, which lets me use it for both testing and longer sessions. I found the rhythm suits autoplay grind, with the slabs giving you small targets to chase while the reels refresh.

On the numbers side, Nightfall runs at medium high volatility, which I feel in the dry spells between slab hits. The default RTP sits at 96.36%, though I have seen lower versions at 95.38%, 94.23% and even 88.43% depending on the casino. The stated max win is 20,000 times the stake, so in theory it can throw punchy payouts when multipliers land on already decent slab values during a hot streak.

Theme and Symbols in Nightfall

Theme wise, Nightfall drops you into a cursed village where gargoyles cling to gothic towers and fog drifts through the streets. The reels sit in front of pointed arches and stained glass, while a full moon glares down and bats swoop past between spins. The rock soundtrack matches the darker mood and adds a slightly aggressive edge that I expect when Push Gaming go down this route, so the set dressing and sound carry the vibe nicely without getting in the way.

The pay table fits the mood. Lows are the card suits - Diamonds, Hearts, Spades and Clubs - paying up to 5x for five of a kind. Premiums are a blue dragon, green owl, orange ram and the lady in gold, which pay between 50x and 1000x for a full line. The Fire Orb window with a golden W doubles as wild and scatter, tying the symbol set directly to the feature trigger.

Symbols and Paytable for Nightfall

I treat the suits as balance builders, with five on a line paying 5x at the top. The premiums do the heavy lifting: the blue dragon, green owl and orange ram step up through 50x to 100x for five, while the lady in gold caps the table at 1000x for a full line. The wild window with the golden W pays the same as the lady and substitutes for regulars, but not for Fireball or Fireball Multiplier symbols.

Betting Options and Features in Nightfall

Above the reels sits the Instant Prize Slab, showing values from 2x up to 5000x the stake. Fireball icons can land and shoot up to strike the slab above their reel. Three hits on the same position award that slab prize and then a fresh value drops in. When you are lining up two hits and chasing the third, the base game turns properly tense and streaky, especially when cascades keep feeding more chances.

Fireball Multiplier symbols are where things open up. They land with 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 25x or 50x, applied straight to the slab they target. After the multiplier has done its work, the icon turns into a regular Fireball and fires, counting as another hit. Chaining multipliers on decent slab values is where I have seen the biggest spikes. There is a Buy Bonus at 113.5x that triggers Free Games, with RTP nudged to 96.17%.

Nightfall Slot Features

The wild window symbol in Nightfall substitutes for all regular icons and also acts as a scatter, but it will not stand in for Fireball or Fireball Multiplier symbols. Landing three or more in view triggers Free Games. In my sessions this usually comes from cascades dropping extra wilds rather than a straight three across, which suits the way the reels tumble and keeps the trigger feeling natural during streaks.

You start the bonus with six free spins, plus one extra for every additional wild scatter that landed in the trigger. During the round only wild scatters, Fireballs, multiplier Fireballs and dud icons appear, so every spin feels very focused. Progress on the Instant Prize Slab no longer resets between spins. Three Fireballs on a slab position still claim its value, but now you can keep building across the board as the round rolls on.

Collecting wild scatters extends the feature. Every set of three adds two extra free spins, and there is no stated cap, so you can dig quite deep when the drops go your way. All wins in the bonus come from the slabs, so when the numbers and multipliers stack up it can be electric. When the board is bare, the round can fizzle quickly, which matches the medium high pace the game carries overall.

Nightfall Slot Final Thoughts

From a player’s angle, Nightfall mixes a punchy instant prize system with a stylised horror look that sticks. The cursed village, gargoyles and Fireballs give it character, while the slab mechanic offers more than one path to the bigger numbers. On mobile it runs smoothly and the animations stay sharp. The base can frustrate when slabs reset after near misses, but once the bonus locks progress the pace steps up. With 96.36% top RTP and 20,000x max, it’s a solid session pick.
