Nightmare Family Megaways (Red Tiger Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

We’ve all heard of the Addams Family, especially after the recent success of the Wednesday spinoff series, but now there’s a new unconventional household in town going by the name of Nightmare. Yes, slot fanatics, let me introduce you to the Nightmare Family Megaways slot, a 6-reel slot from provider Max Win Gaming in conjunction with Red Tiger. Spin your way to big wins of up to 10,000x the bet as you play with a possible 117,649 paylines on each spin, along with an RTP of 95.85%.

Digging into the feature set on the Nightmare Family Megaways slot, we uncover a game that’s pretty standard when it comes to the Megaways genre. We’ve got cascading reels throughout and a free spins bonus round triggered when at least three scatters land in view. The biggest twist to the bonus is that prior to it starting, a wheel will spin to reveal a minimum amount of Megawsys you are guaranteed on each spin. Then, once it begins, you’ll be awarded 3 free spins and a starting win multiplier of x1. Each time a win hits, your multiplier will increment by x1, and your spin count will reset back to 3

Will this new family of horrors have what it takes to match Gomez and Morticia? Why not find out and take the game for a few spins in our free Night Family Megaways slot demo, ready and waiting for you below.

Nightmare Family Megaways Paytable

As popular as the Addams Family has been, I can’t recall seeing an online slot based on it. There was a classic AWP I loved playing back in the day, and there is actually still a £5 jackpot version of it locally that’s lots of fun to play. As for the online scene though, if you want to play a tongue in cheek horror themed slot, you’ll need to look at Relax Gaming’s Horror Hotel or Pragmatic Play’s Zombie Carnival. I guess this leaves a bit of a gap in the market for Max Win Gaming and their Nightmare Family Megaways slot, then, doesn’t it? Let’s head to the pays section and find out more.

At the top of the paytable is the father of the family, paying 50x for a six of a kind win, and he is followed by his scary looking Mrs worth 7.5x for all six symbols. The remainder of the premium paying symbols are the boy valued at 3x and the girl paying 2x for a winning combo of six. The low pays consists of a teddy at 1.5x, the jack in a box and cauldron both worth 1.2x, and the jack, 10, and 9, all sharing equal payouts of 0.8x for a six of a kind hit.

Joining the freaky looking individuals in the Nightmare Family Megaways slot for real money play will cost you a minimum of €0.20 a spin, with the maximum stake of the game reaching €10. There’s a decent spread of stake sizes to play at between these amounts, but any serious high rollers may find that the max bet isn’t enough to interest them.


Nightmare Family Megaways Slot Base Game

In-play action on the Nightmare Family Megaways slot is set over a 6×7 reel format where, thanks to the Megaways mechanic, the game can produce up to 117,649 paylines on any spin. Wins are generated when at least three matching symbols ( or 2 in the case of the top-paying symbol ) land on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel first.


Cascading Reels

Commonly known as win reactions and tumbling reels, the cascading reels mechanic kicks into action each time a winning connection is made. Initially, the symbols involved in the win are removed before new symbols fall from above to replace them.


Nightmare Family Megaways Slot Bonus Features

Nightmare Family Megaways Free Spins Feature

A standard free spins feature is awarded when 3 bonus symbols land in view, whilst an enhanced version where you’ll begin with a win multiplier of x5 is triggered if 4 scatters land. Before the bonus round begins you’ll be taken to a wheel which will spin to reveal a guaranteed minimum amount of Megaways you will receive on each spin.


Free Spins Feature

You’ll begin the bonus with just 3 spins, but each time a winning combination is made, your spins will replenish back to 3. Additionally, every win reaction will increase your multiplier’s size by a further x1.


Bonus Buy

If you can access the bonus buy option in your jurisdiction, you can buy a normal free spins feature of 100x or the super free spins for 300x, where you’ll be guaranteed that a minimum of 25,000 Megaways are active on every spin.


Pros

  • The design and build of the slot is excellent.
  • The max win of 10,000x bet.

Cons

  • The feature is kind of unique, but is this game really anything we haven't seen before?
  • If you can't buy the bonus, there is no way to trigger the super free spins.

Nightmare Family Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts

Nightmare Family Megaways slot might not have the horror shock factor that games from the likes of Nolimit have, but it's a fun-filled Megaways slot if this kind of genre is your thing. The problem for me is that I've played so many Megaways now with the same sort of free spins feature that they just get boring very quickly.
