Evil Eyes Demo & review

Evil Eyes is a 3,125-ways game in which one eye decides how far a win travels: land it under a winning symbol and that symbol spreads to the edge of the grid. Hacksaw Gaming released it in September 2024 with two bonuses that have almost nothing in common, one of them a three-life multiplier hunt. Spinners get more from it than buyers do.

How Evil Eyes works

Matching symbols count from reel 1 outward on neighbouring reels, so the five reels of five rows hold 3,125 ways. The masked Shade tops a compact paytable.

An Evil Eye that lands under a winning symbol marks that win, then turns right or down. The win extends to the end of the grid in that direction, with the marked symbols replaced by the winning one. A spread to the right has a chance of running again downward. In the base game the Eye appears only on reel 3, never on row 1, and only one at a time.

How the rest of it fits together:

1. Evil Spread can stretch any base win that an Eye lands under.
2. Wicked Epic Drop can turn a base spin into a one-spin multiplier hunt at random.
3. Three or more FS scatters start Wicked Night, and four or more start The Graveyard.

For us Evil Spread is the part that makes the base game worth spinning, and Wicked Night is where the numbers get large.

Wicked Night: what refills and what ends it

Wicked Night strips the paytable away. Only non-paying symbols, Evil Eyes and multipliers appear, and Eyes can now land on any reel, several at a time.

Each Eye that lands glances up, right, left or down and collects every multiplier in its line of sight onto the reel multiplier above that reel. If its gaze crosses another Eye, that second Eye reveals a multiplier added to every reel.

You hold three lives, and each life is one spin. Collecting a multiplier refills them, which is the rule the round lives or dies by. When three spins pass without a collection, the feature ends and all the reel multipliers are added together and paid as a multiple of your bet. Our natural round on spin 43 ran eight spins and paid $63.00.

Wicked Epic Drop

This one can start at random as a base spin begins, and it turns that single spin into Wicked Night with at least three Evil Eyes and four multipliers guaranteed. At least one multiplier is always collected, there are no lives, and the base game carries on afterwards. The I Spy mode in the buy panel sells that same set-up by the spin.

The Graveyard: how the free spins change

Four or more FS scatters award 10 free spins with one rule that matters. A low symbol that was part of a win and spread by Evil Spread will not appear on later spins, and an indicator above the grid shows which ones are left. FS symbols are limited to reels 2 to 5 in the base game and 2 to 4 here, and two or three together during the round add 2 or 4 spins.

That rule rewards an early spread, because every low symbol removed leaves one fewer on the reels until the round ends.

Bonus buy prices and what you get

Five options sit on the panel, and two of them cost the same while doing very different jobs.

RTP, volatility and max win

The rules list a 96.24% base return from ten billion simulated rounds. The intro meter sits at 4 of 5, which we file as High, while the buy cards run from High to Extreme. The top prize of 12,500x the bet is open in every game mode.

Two natural bonuses shaped the base session. Wicked Night and The Graveyard together brought in $341.40, and the rest of the spins paid $56.80 across 27 winners. The Graveyard did nearly all of its work on free spin 3, which paid $271.60 and included one $270.00 win.

The buys went the other way. Our bought Wicked Night used up its lives after four spins, and The Graveyard buy finished far below its price.

An Eye for an Evil Eye paid on every spin, and its two largest results, $384.00 and $144.00, carried the mode. Crossbones spread across the grid in the frame below, which is the mechanic at its easiest to read. This is one session of luck in both directions and cannot show what any option returns. A Wicked Epic Drop stayed away on the base spins, so that section rests on the rules.

Who should play Evil Eyes?

Bonus chasers who spin the base game should, more than players who buy their way in. Evil Spread gives ordinary spins something to look for, and both bonuses can land on their own. Wicked Night is the awkward buy, because its length depends entirely on whether an Eye finds something to collect, and a run can stop after a few empty spins.

Our pick from the panel is The Graveyard: ten spins are guaranteed, and an early spread improves everything after it.

Ghost Vision is a fair comparison, another 5x5 Hacksaw game where one symbol rewrites the grid on a win. Choose Ghost Vision if you prefer whole symbol types going Wild on a respin, and Evil Eyes if you want a single spreading line and a very different collect round.

In the demo, try An Eye for an Evil Eye first, because every spin shows the spread in action.
