Game Overview
Max Win Gaming via Red Tiger Games is about to have your mind going in all different directions on its latest slot, Midnight Thirst, which initially seems to solve the most hated occurrence when playing slots – dead spins. You’re potentially rewarded for these spins if they carry on long enough, which is great, but then your mind starts going in circles wondering if it is better to land payouts or hope for a long enough series of dead spins that could bring trigger multipliers or even the free spins bonus. You have to love the imagination for this concept, so let’s dig into what this 5-reel, 4-row, and 1,024 Ways to Win slot with a 96.36% RTP and a top prize of 5,000x the stake has to offer.
So, how does the feature work? Well, in short, if you go through three or more consecutive dead spins, a progress meter unlocks bigger win multipliers that reset only once a winning spin, with a multiplier applied, comes your way. That premise continues during the free spins bonus, but this time with win multipliers of up to 41x the stake available.
If there’s one slot I recommend you try for being different, clever, and unique, it’s this one. It may or may not appeal, but the Midnight Thirst slot demo below is worth a look for the mental gymnastics you’ll have to go through alone.
Midnight Thirst Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Red Tiger Gaming has used a play on the words dead spins for its theme, which is why the reels are set inside a crypt and the symbols are made up of vampires and bats. Of course, Midnight Thirst is far from the first slot on these bloodthirsty undead creatures, as there have been plenty of other fang-tastic releases over the years – anyone who claims to be an iGaming connoisseur will have surely put classics such as Microgaming’s Immortal Romance slot demo and NetEnt’s Blood Suckers demo slot through their paces here on our site, whilst more recently our Hacksaw Gaming free play page has been updated with two releases, Immortal Desire and Bloodthirst – the latter of which is the best of the two, in my opinion.
Let’s move on from the theme and take a look at the symbols and their payouts. Dracula sits at the top of the paytable with a 5x stake win for a five-symbol combination, while a Female Vampire is the next best with 2x on offer for a full line of five. A Bat in two different poses offers 1x the stake, and then there’s the Ace and King with equal returns of 0.4x, whilst the Queen, Jack, and Ten all share payouts of 0.3x for a winning combo of five.
Last but not least, in this section, we finish with the possible staking options available on Midnight Thirst. Real money players can spin from a minimum of €0.20 up to a maximum of €20, with a good sprinkling of intermediate bets within this range.
Midnight Thirst Slot Base Game & Modifiers
With the theme and payouts out of the way, it is time for the exciting aspects of this slot, the ‘rewarding’ dead spins you’ll find in both the base game and the free spins bonus. Before I get into those, let me explain how the wins will come your way as you spin the reels. As a Ways-to-Win slot, you must land three or more matching symbols on successive reels starting from the leftmost reel and moving right. Winning symbols then disappear, which creates space for more to drop in – which, as most will know, means you could land additional wins when they do.
Dead Spins Progress Bar
Show me a slots player who loves dead spins, and I’ll show you a vampire who loves garlic. Well, perversely, Midnight Thirst has you hoping for dead spins, at least sometimes, or maybe not – who the hell knows! It’s difficult to know what you want, in all honesty, but a progress bar keeps track of the dead spins you’ve suffered/enjoyed.
Every time there are three dead spins in a row, the multiplier value in that progress bar will increase – first to 3x and then to 6x. If you go another three spins without a win, you trigger the free spins bonus I’ll get into in the next section. That progress bar only resets once you win, so the longer you go without a win, the bigger the multiplier, which will eventually apply to a win.
Midnight Thirst Slot Bonus Features
As mentioned, if there are nine consecutive dead spins, you trigger the final stage on that Dead Spins Progress Bar – the free spins bonus game.
Free Spins Feature
Once you have undergone such a long run of winless spins, you’re rewarded with 9 free spins – and again, you’re left debating whether you want winning spins or those of the dead kind. This is because the progress bar now has increased rewards. You start with a 6x win multiplier off the bat, but dead spins will lead to:
- Three Consecutive Dead Spins: a 13x multiplier and 3 additional free spins.
- Six Consecutive Dead Spins: a 24x multiplier and 3 additional free spins.
- Nine Consecutive Dead Spins: a 41x multiplier and 3 additional free spins.
Again, the progress meter only resets after a win occurs.
Bonus Buy
If you’d rather take a shortcut into the madness of that free spins bonus, you can use the feature buy button below the reels to purchase it for 80x your current bet.
Pros
- It's a unique concept - but you’ll never know whether winning is good or not.
- Some big potential multipliers in the bonus game.
Cons
- It is the type of slot that will split opinions.
Midnight Thirst Slot Review Final Thoughts
You have to admit the dead spins are a clever concept as it leaves you wondering what result would actually work out the best. Is it better to win a small payout on every spoon or sacrifice those to go on a winless run, hoping to grab a big multiplier and a win later down the line? I’m not sure this is a slot I could cope with for long, but I like the creativity on display here.
