Gremlins After Midnight

Light & Wonder built Gremlins After Midnight around the film's Gizmo, Fuzz Balls and Chicken Buckets rather than just licensing the artwork, running the license through 20 fixed paylines on a base 5x3 grid with stakes from 0.20 to 100 per spin.

Every spin opens with Mystery Stacked Reels that transform before the result is read, occasionally revealing one of three coloured Chicken Buckets. Fuzz Ball symbols carry their own cash values and land naturally on the grid, with Gizmo sometimes adding two to five more of them to the screen; when enough gather, an Instant Win round opens where one to three boxes are picked to bank whatever Fuzz Ball totals are showing at that moment, each box adding to what came before it.

The Chicken Buckets decide how the Hold & Spin round plays out. An orange bucket switches on More Money, letting later buckets raise the value of Fuzz Balls already on the grid; a purple bucket unlocks a set of four fixed jackpot tiers — Mini, Minor, Major and Grand; and a green bucket stretches the grid from 5x3 up to 5x6. These can stack within the same round, so a Hold & Spin that keeps drawing fresh buckets can end up far bigger than its three-spin starting point suggests, since every new Fuzz Ball or activated modifier resets the countdown. The Instant Win pick-box round can also surface mid-feature. There's no separate free spins round here — instead, a Buy Pass sends eligible players straight into the bonus for 50 times the stake.

RTP is published at 96% under the standard configuration, with 94% and 90% alternates also available, and volatility sits between medium and high.
