Technical Specifications
Assassin Moon is a classic 5x3 video slot with 25 fixed paylines. To win, at least 3 matching symbols must appear on one of these lines.

The RTP of the slot is 96.08%, which is slightly above the industry average. The theoretical maximum win can reach up to x12500 the stake.
The slot has high volatility, meaning it typically avoids long losing streaks and tends to shift quickly between small and large wins.

The casino chip has no set payout. It triggers bonus features and appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4.
The moon symbol also lacks a payout value but can appear on any reel.
The woman with the pistol not only awards payouts but also serves as a wild. She can substitute for any standard symbol needed to complete a combination. The payout is calculated based on the value of the replaced symbol.
If the woman forms her own combination, the payout is determined by her own value.
Bonus Games
When 3 or more moon symbols appear, the “Link&Win” feature activates. This is essentially a drop & wins mini-game with 3 spins. During this feature, all reel positions are replaced by moons showing random cash prizes or jackpots.
At a base stake of €1, cash prizes in Link&Win range from €1.5 to €20. These amounts scale with the chosen stake.
There are 3 jackpot levels:
- Mini — €50
- Minor — €150
- Major — €750
These amounts apply at a €1 stake and vary with other bet sizes.
During Link&Win, moon symbols lock in place. Reels with locked moons do not spin. Landing 3 or more new moons grants 3 extra spins. The bonus ends when either the spins run out or all positions are filled.
The casino chip symbol applies a x2 multiplier to the win. This happens if it lands alongside a winning combination.
