Delve into the shadowy underbelly of a bustling metropolis in Betsoft's 'After Night Falls,' a captivating slot that casts players as both detective and potential culprit. The game's visual atmosphere is distinctly noir, with rain-slicked city streets and dimly lit apartments forming the backdrop to five reels of intrigue. A gruff but determined detective character stands beside the reels, his trench coat and fedora completing the classic crime aesthetic. Symbols include a formidable robber, a concerned old woman, a police car, jewelry, and various pieces of evidence, all rendered in Betsoft's signature detailed 3D style. The jazz-infused soundtrack adds to the suspenseful, late-night ambiance. This 30-payline slot is rich with inventive mechanics that mirror the detective work central to its theme. One standout feature is the 'Magnifying Glass Collapse.' When the magnifying glass symbol appears anywhere on the third reel, it transforms into an expanding wild that covers the entire reel. This wild then initiates a 'Collapse' feature where winning combinations are paid out, then disappear, allowing new symbols to drop down for additional wins—a cascade of clues leading to further payouts. This continues until no more winning combinations are formed, offering consecutive wins from a single spin. Further enhancing the pursuit of riches is the 'Granny Bonus.' Land three or more 'Thief' symbols, and players are transported to a second-screen bonus round. Here, the thief rummages through Granny's apartment, and players pick objects for instant credit prizes, aiming to find the most valuable loot. The 'Stacked Collapsing Wilds' feature is activated when a full stack of thief symbols lands on any reel. This stack transforms into a giant wild, offering a re-spin with the expanded wild locked in place, guaranteeing another chance at a big win. Additionally, three or more scattered 'Police File' symbols award 'Free Spins,' where all payouts are subject to a random multiplier of up to 10x, significantly boosting win potential. With its compelling narrative, innovative collapsing reels, and multiple bonus features, 'After Night Falls' delivers a definite high-stakes game of cat and mouse, promising substantial rewards for those who successfully solve the case.
