Nitro Nights Slot (Hacksaw Gaming)

The Nitro Nights slot has 5 reels, 4 rows and 14 fixed paylines: 3 or more matching symbols from left to right, starting from reel 1 and across any of the 14 paylines will constitute a winning combination. Only the highest payout per payline will be awarded.

With a minimum bet of 10p per spin, the maximum bet is £5 per spin in the UK (or up to £2 if under 25). Using the up and down arrows to change your bet, non-UK players can benefit from Autoplay and 2 Turbo Mode settings.

The Nitro Nights RTP rate is 96.31, which is higher than the 96% average but in line with Hacksaw slots. There are 94.34% and 92.22% RTP versions too. Below, you’ll find the number of expected spins based on a £20 balance and a minimum bet of 10p a spin before running out of funds:

• 96.31% = 5,393 spins
• 94.34% = 3,516 spins
• 92.22% = 2,558 spins

Medium to high volatility (3/5), the hit frequency rate is 26.78% (meaning a win every 3,73 spins on average). Nitro Nights offers 15,000 x bet max wins: this can be achieved in the base game and all bonus features.

With a racing theme, the Nitro Nights slot is a high-octane release which is based on a notorious underground showdown where its time to crown the King of the Streets. In this boy racer-inspired title, the only rule is ‘no brakes allowed’.

Aesthetically, the backdrop is an inner Asian city with black, white and grey dominating the colour scheme with vivid colours for the symbols and detail. Hacksaw has used this contrast before in plenty of games such as Slayers Inc and RIP City. Reminiscent of the Fast and Furious movie franchise, it does have an urban/hip-hop flavour.

Symbols include 1, 6, 8, 12 and 43 low-value symbols as well as pistons, double pistons, car engines and 2 cars as the higher-value symbols. The 2 car symbols pay the most, offering 5 x your total bet for 5 across any payline. With a Wild that substitutes for all paying symbols and pays 5 x bet for 5 in combination, other symbols include Nitro and a FS Scatter.

Nitro Nights Mobile

Using HTML5 technology, Nitro Nights can be played on mobile, tablet and desktop devices. When playing on an iOS or Android smartphone, you’ll play in Portrait Mode.

The Nitro Nights slot with Nitro symbols that trigger Burnout Mode: this adds Nudges, Wilds and Position Multipliers to the reels with new symbols spinning in (with Wilds & Position Multipliers sticky) until you run out of Nudges in the Nitrous Bar. With 3 free spins modes, there is a higher chance of Nitro symbols, a progressive Global Multiplier, Epic Nitro symbols and an unlimited Nitrous Bar.

Burnout Mode & Nitrous Bar 

The Burnout Mode feature is activated when a Nitro symbols lands. The Nitro symbol then transforms into a Wild Nitro symbol and awards Nudges, Wilds and Multipliers:

• Nudges: at least 5 Nudges are added to the Nitrous Bar (it can contain up to 10 Nudges at the same time).
• Wilds: 5 Wild symbols will be added to random positions on the reels.
• Multipliers: Between 0 and 3 Multipliers are added to random reel positions. When part of a win, it subjects a multiplier between 2x and 5x.

Once this happens, the Nudges trigger and moves all symbols down 1 row: this adds new symbols to the top to fill the newly vacated symbol positions. Wilds and Multipliers are sticky during Nudges too.

If a new Nitro symbol lands after a Nudge, at least 1 more Nudge will be added to the Nitrous Bar (if not full), as well as 0-3 Wilds and 0-3 Multipliers added to the reels. If another Multiplier is added to the same position as a Position Multiplier, the Multiplier values are combined. The spin ends when the Nitrous Bar is empty.

Free Spins 

Nitro Nights comes with 3 free spins modes, where you head to Seoul, Tokyo and Fukushima:

The Seoul Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 3 FS Scatters. Beginning with 8 free spins, it works like the base game but there is a higher chance of Nitro symbols landing.

With the Tokyo Free Spins feature, you need to land 4 FS Scatters in the base game. You’ll begin with 8 free spins. Importantly, there is a progressive 2x Global Multiplier that appears next to the Nitrous Bar.

Look out for Epic Nitro symbols as these activate the Epic Burnout Mode: he Global Multiplier increases by 1 with every Nudge. When an Epic Nitro symbol lands, it works like the Nitro symbol with at least 3 Nudges being awarded and added to an existing Nudges in the Nitrous Bar. If a new Epic Nitro symbol lands during the Epic Burnout Mode, at least 1 Nudge is added to the Nitrous Bar. Standard Nitro symbols also added at least 1 Nudge during Epic Burnout Mode.

Finally, you need to 5 FS Scatters to trigger the Fukushima Free Spins feature. Your reward is 1 Super Nitrous free spin with a Super Nitrous Bar. This spin guarantees 1 Nitro symbol with 10-20 Nudges with the Super Nitrous Bar storing unlimited Nudges.

If you’re a boy racer and love the Fast & the Furious movies, you’re in luck. With an Asian/urban flavour, the Nitro Nights slot is superbly designed but also ties into previous Hacksaw releases.

The focus is on the Nitro symbol as this activates Burnout Mode: awarding Nudges, Wilds and Multipliers, landing the Wilds in the right positions and enough Nudges will see plenty of continuous wins that can continue if more Nitro symbols land (that fill up the Nitrous Bar).

With 3 free spins modes, the Seoul free spins has a higher probability of Nitro symbols landing. In the Tokyo free spins, there is a progressive Global Multiplier which increases when Epic Nitro symbols land. With the Fukushima free spins, you get just 1 free spin but the Super Nitrous Bar can hold unlimited Nudges. I did find the Position Multipliers to be the key to landing big wins, in all free spins modes and the Burnout Mode.

With 15,000 x bet max wins, Nitro Nights is a full-on game that can spark into life if the Position Multipliers are well situated and you have enough Nudges to build up a chain of wins. However, you need multiple Nitro symbols to achieve this.

If it’s nudges you’re after, Shady Lady’s Preach TV would be my recommendation as it offers a unique Shady Nudges mechanic for up to 20,000 x bet max win potential. Want more racing-themed slots? Push Gaming’s Mad Cars and Nolimit City’s Road Rage would be my picks. If the setting/visuals are appealing, Print Studios’ 12 Burning Baseballs has some similarities.
