About Empress Of The Shadows
Our recorded Empress Of The Shadows bonuses
We have opened Empress Of The Shadows 3 times between 10 Aug 2026 and 16 Sep 2026 on stream and logged the result. The best of those paid 536.7× the bet. That is too few opens to say anything about how the game behaves — it is a record of what happened on those occasions, nothing more.
Empress Of The Shadows takes Hacksaw Gaming into gothic horror territory, setting a five-reel, four-row grid against a cursed realm of prowling hounds and a spectral Empress who watches over the action from the shadows.
Twenty fixed paylines decide winning combinations on the grid, with Mystery Symbols doing most of the work: between one and ten can appear on a single spin, and in the base game each one can morph into a regular pay symbol, a wild, or a trigger for the Cash Prize feature. Once triggered, every Mystery Symbol on the reels reveals its own multiplier of anywhere from 1x to 100x, and those values add together to form that spin's total payout.
Landing three or more Mystery Symbols in one spin sets off a respin, during which the existing Mystery Symbols shift to new positions on the grid; if fresh ones land, the respin chain continues. A related mechanic sees a new Mystery Symbol landing on a position already holding one bring its own random multiplier of 2x to 100x, stacking on top of any value already there rather than replacing it — a run of respins can build these stacks considerably before the multiplier total resets on the next spin.
Scatters unlock the Dark Fortune Spins bonus at three different tiers: three scatters award 8 free spins, four award 10, and five award 12 along with entry into the enhanced Extreme Dark Fortune Spins. Mystery Symbols stay on the reels and continue shifting position between spins throughout the feature, while the Extreme version guarantees at least three Mystery Symbols on its opening spin. Extra scatters landing during the round add further free spins, and multiplier values keep building as the feature continues.
Four feature buys are available: BonusHunt FeatureSpins for 3x the stake, Dark Dame FeatureSpins for 30x, the standard Dark Fortune Spins round for 100x, or the Extreme version for 200x.
Medium volatility applies throughout, with an RTP of 96.31%, a bet range of 0.1 to 100 per spin, and a maximum win of 12,000x the stake.
