Assassin Moon Slot Review

Assassin Moon Slot Review

Assassin Moon is a 5x3, 25 payline slot from Triple Edge Studios for Microgaming, starring Luna on a stylish Monte Carlo hit. From my first spin, the whole thing felt like a big-budget spy movie packed with glitz, glamour and danger. High volatility, a max win of 12,500x stake and the HyperHold Hold and Spin mechanic give the game serious punch if you enjoy chasing chunky single-spin payouts.

On the practical side, Assassin Moon is very easy to play. All controls sit under the reels, so I could set stakes between 0.10 and 20, switch Autoplay on, and open the paytable without hunting through menus. The layout works just as well on mobile as on desktop, so jumping between devices mid-session felt natural and did not break the flow of the game.

Assassin Moon Symbols and Paytable

The symbols in Assassin Moon fit the super-spy theme nicely. Low pays are the card ranks J, Q, K and A, worth up to 2x, 2.5x, 3x and 4x your stake for five of a kind. Premium icons step things up. Five dice pay 7.5x, martinis 10.5x, the sleek sports car 15x, and the assassination target tops the regular set with 25x for a full line.

Luna herself acts as the wild symbol and is the real star of the paytable. She can appear stacked, helps complete winning lines by substituting for other symbols, and pays up to a chunky 500x your bet for five wilds on a payline. That huge top line win sits alongside mid-range payouts of 20x for four wilds and 2.5x for three, so stacked wild reels can throw out some impressive base game hits.

Special symbols tie into the features. Moon icons are HyperHold bonus symbols carrying cash values or jackpot labels, while scatters land only on reels two, three and four to trigger free spins. I like how the paytable keeps the low symbols modest but lets Luna, the target and the moons do the heavy lifting, so most of the serious money comes when the slot leans into its features.

Assassin Moon Game Features

HyperHold is the headline feature in Assassin Moon. Landing six or more moon symbols in view locks them on the grid and starts a Hold and Spin round with three respins. Each new moon resets the counter to three and sticks in place. Moons can show cash prizes or Mini, Minor and Major jackpot symbols, worth 50x, 150x and 750x total bet. Fill all 15 positions with moons and the Mega jackpot of 5000x stake drops.

The Win Booster button sits under the reels and quickly became part of my game plan. Activating it raises the total bet by 2.5x and adds extra moon symbols to the reels, which genuinely improves the chance of hitting HyperHold. Free spins come from three scatters on the middle reels, awarding ten spins where those reels merge into one giant 3x3 Jumbo Block. Land a Jumbo scatter for another ten free spins, and HyperHold can still trigger during the bonus for stacked feature potential.

Payout, Volatility and RTP in Assassin Moon

On the numbers side, Assassin Moon runs with high volatility and an RTP of 96.08%, which sits close to the current standard. In my sessions the slot tended to play in patches, with stretches of small card and dice wins punctuated by heavier hits from stacked wilds, sports cars or targets. The theoretical max win of 12,500x stake comes mainly from HyperHold or a perfect screen of Luna wilds, so the game is all about those high-impact moments.

The Assassin Moon Spins Experience

I started my first serious Assassin Moon run with 100 spins at £1 per spin, keeping the Win Booster off to feel the base game. Within the first 40 spins I hit a tidy line win with stacked Luna wilds for about 20x and later triggered HyperHold with exactly six moons, which ended up paying just under 40x. The rest of the set was fairly swingy, and I finished a little below starting balance but nicely entertained.

On a second session I pushed things harder, moving up to £3 stakes and running most of the time with the Win Booster active. Bankroll swings were sharper, as expected, but the game came alive. I landed free spins once, where a Jumbo Block of targets smashed in for around 30x, and later hit another HyperHold inside the bonus for a combined return of roughly 70x. I still ended the session down overall, though the potential felt very clear.

Visual & Sound Experience in Assassin Moon

Assassin Moon looks and sounds like a slick spy film set in a glamorous corner of Monte Carlo. The reels sit against a smart cityscape backdrop, with rich colours, neon lighting and sharp symbol artwork that sells the luxury lifestyle vibe. The soundtrack is a smooth, funky track straight out of a Bond-style scene, and Luna’s crisp English voice lines, dropping in with comments like “nice move”, help tie the whole presentation together in a satisfying way.

Final Say – is Assassin Moon worth playing?

From my time with Assassin Moon, it feels like a well-crafted slot for players who enjoy feature-driven action and bold win potential. HyperHold with four fixed jackpots, the Win Booster, and the free spins with Jumbo Block symbols all mesh well, while stacked Luna wilds give the base game decent bite. The high volatility will not suit every bankroll, but the game rarely feels dull when the features are dropping regularly.

I see Assassin Moon as a strong pick if you like chasing jackpot-style hits without moving to full progressive games. It rewards patience and a steady budget, so I tend to start in demo mode, get a feel for the pacing, then switch to real stakes with a clear limit in mind. Treated as a glamorous, high-risk spy caper on the reels, it does its job very nicely.
