Assassin Moon Review

Developed exclusively for Microgaming by Triple Edge Studios, Assassin Moon centers around Luna, a beautiful but deadly hitman (or hitwoman rather) on a perilous mission in Monte Carlo. Luna appears on the reels in the form of the Wild symbol, either as a single symbol, or in stacks of 2 or 3. She is also the highest paying symbol on the reels, paying 12 500x your line bet for 5 of a kind.

Assassin Moon is the first online slot to be released under Microgaming’s HyperHold brand; a series of slots featuring the ever-popular Hold and Spin mechanic that proved to be a roaring success with players in land based casinos. Other features include Stacked Wilds, a Free Spins bonus with giant 3x3 symbols on the middle reels, and a Win Booster which increases your chances of triggering the HyperHold bonus.

Assassin Moon is available to play on desktops, laptops and mobile devices for as little as €0.10 per spin.

Assassin Moon Game Features

HyperHold

Look out for the special HyperHold Moon symbols on the reels. Landing 6 or more HyperHold symbols triggers the HyperHold Bonus offering players a chance to win cash prizes, and 1 of 4 static jackpots. All triggering HyperHold symbols are held in position on the reels, and the feature starts with 3 free respins. Each symbol position that is not occupied with a HyperHold symbol spins individually, and any additional HyperHold symbols that land are also locked in position, and the respins counter is reset to 3.

When the feature ends, all cash values shown on the bonus symbols are added up and awarded to the player. Mini, Minor and Major Jackpots are awarded if their respective symbol land on the reels. The Mega Jackpot is awarded if all 15 reel positions are filled with HyperHold symbols.

The payout values of the 4 jackpots are:

• Mega Jackpot – 5000x total bet
• Major Jackpot – 750x total bet
• Minor Jackpot – 150x total bet
• Mini Jackpot – 50x total bet

The HyperHold feature can be triggered in the Base Game and in Free Spins.

Win Booster

Clicking on the Win Booster button adds extra HyperHold bonus symbols to the reels, increasing the player’s chances of triggering the HyperHold feature. Activating the Win Booster increases the total bet by 2.5x.

Free Spins

Free Spins Scatters appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the Base Game. Landing 3 or more Scatters triggers 10 Free Spins. During the Free Spins Bonus, the center 3 reels combine to display giant 3x3 symbols known as Jumbo Blocks. Landing a Scatter Jumbo Block awards an additional 10 Free Spins. The HyperHold feature can be triggered during Free Spins.

The Assassin Moon 200 Spins Experience

As we entered the game, we were impressed with the overall design and quality of the artwork. It’s clear that considerable time and effort has been spent on the characters, symbols and background illustrations. After checking out at the paytable and setting our bet to €3.75, we were ready to spin!

On spin 23 we triggered a 20x Big Win thanks to the Luna Stacked Wilds on reels 1, 2 and 4. Further into the gameplay session, we landed 3 Free Spins Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4, triggering the Free Spins Bonus. Day turned to night, and our focus turned to the middle three reels which only displayed giant 3x3 symbols for the duration of the Free Spins Bonus.

Our Free Spin experience ramped up to a new level of excitement when we landed a giant HyperHold bonus symbol on the middle reels, which meant we triggered the HyperHold Bonus within Free Spins… oh yes! The HyperHold Bonus played out, and we won €33.75 in cash prizes, with no jackpots awarded. Back to the Free Spins Bonus, and the remainder of the free spins played out. Our combined Free Spins and HyperHold wins amounted to €68.25, roughly 18x our total bet of €3.75.

Assassin Moon looks great and plays beautifully. After playing Microgaming’s Agent Jane Blonde recently, we couldn’t help but notice the similarity between Luna and Jane’s voiceover prompts. Could it be the same voice actor? 

Review Summary

Assassin Moon is a well-conceived and beautifully designed slot. Up till now we haven’t seen many Hold and Spin style games from Microgaming, and Assassin Moon does not disappoint. With 2 fantastic features and maximum win potential of 12500x, the game designers at Triple Edge have delivered a polished and exciting game that will appeal to a broad spectrum of slot players.

Luna’s opening comment as the game loads is “First stop, Monte Carlo” which leads us to believe this could perhaps be the first in a series of Assassin Moon games. If that's the case, we are certainly looking forward to following our sultry heroine on her next action-packed mission.
