New releases from NextGen rarely get the fanfare reserved for the likes of Microgaming and NetEnt, but that hasn’t stopped this software giant being competitive against its rivals at the top of the industry, mainly due to the sheer quality of every NextGen release.If you hear there’s a new title from NextGen, you probably expect to love it, so players will go into their first experience of NextGen’s newest offering, Theatre of Night, with their expectations high.
About the slot
The theme isn’t the most original here, with the landscape around the player full of starlight and forests, but it’s never an unpleasant experience, and the execution here is phenomenal.A five reel, ten payline slot, the colours and imagery of Theatre of Night combine with the sound effects and background music to create a stunning, multi-sensual experience that is truly immersive.The use of only three high value symbols is disappointing, with playing card symbols acting as filler for the rest of the reels, but this doesn’t take too much away from the attractive look of Theatre of Night.
Gameplay
The wild symbol is the firefly here and will substitute for all other symbols to form winning combinations, the wild also plays a part in the bonus features.Land three wild symbols on the middle three reels, and you will win yourself six free spins. You can’t re-trigger this feature from within it, but with reel three being completely wild throughout, and wilds on the other reels also active, there is still the chance to win big here if the reels fall in your favour.Theatre of Night isn’t the most exciting slot NextGen have ever created, but it is a nice, chilled game that is perfect for those quiet, relaxed evenings, and can offer some nice wins.
