Nightmare on Elm Street

Themed on the 2010 remake of the 1984 movie of the same name, Nightmare on Elm Street has become on of 888’s flagship products over the last couple of years. Rolled out ahead of the 2012 Halloween, the five reel, thirty payline slot brings horror to your desktop computers, but if you have the stomach for bloody inscriptions and regular appearances of Freddy Krueger, then you can count on some decent payouts as well.

The 2012 release is played at five reels, with game symbols spread across three rows and only paying when found on active paylines. In order to ensure you don’t miss out on any payouts, you should activate maximum 30 lines and then you only need to receive two or more matching icons on one of those, starting from reel I to secure an instant credit payout.

Meanwhile, they have access to a wide array of coin values, raging from $0.01 to $10. The Number of Autoplay spins can be adjusted using greater then and less then icons or by choosing the x10 and x25 values.

Even with so many extra features offered, Nightmare on Elm Street excels when it comes to base line payouts as well. While the Freddy Krueger symbol pays up to 2,500 coins, five Wild icons on any active payline award cool 10,000 credits or up to $100,000, which is definitely not too shabby.

The main villain of many horror stories and movies alike appears in various shapes and forms on the reels of the 888 slot game, with Nancy Holbrook, Jesse Braun, Quentin Smith and Kris Fowles characters populating the reels as well. There’s no reason to be afraid of Freddy Krueger though seeing that his appearance improves your winning chances.

Getting Freddy Krueger Wild symbols anywhere on reels I and V at the same time trigger the Pick Me feature, where you get to reveal one of the icons for an instant cash prize. Three Bonus symbols occurring anywhere unlock the Never Sleep Again bonus. Try not to fall asleep and ensure some excellent payouts. Obtain three, four or five Scatters in any position to get 10, 20 and 30 free spins respectively.

The 888 title comes equipped with not one but two progressive jackpots, with Nightmare on Elm Street jackpot and Freddy Krueger jackpot both striking completely at random. There is no special bet value required to trigger the two prizes, but the bigger your bets the higher chances you have of unlocking them.
