Killer Night (Pragmatic Play): a prom-night slasher where expanding wilds multiply, stick and merge, up to 10,000x
Published 5 November 2026. Pragmatic Play released Killer Night on 2 November 2026, and it sends the player to a senior prom at Ridgeview High School on a rainy night, with a masked killer moving through the shadows at the edge of the dance floor. The prom queen, the cheerleader and the jock are all here, dressed for a night that is supposed to be remembered, and the joke of the game is that the night really will be remembered, just not the way the yearbook planned it. One mechanic carries the whole slot: a wild that grows, multiplies, sticks and merges, until a single spin can be rebuilt around it.

One wild does all the work
The wild is the masked slasher himself, and when he lands he can expand vertically, up or down, to cover two to five positions on his reel. The expanded wild can carry a random multiplier of up to 10x, with listings giving the set as 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x. The detail that makes the base game dangerous is what happens when two multiplier wilds share a win: their values multiply each other instead of adding up, so a 5x and a 2x wild in the same combination pay at 10x, not 7x. That single rule turns an ordinary line hit into the spin the whole session was waiting for.
The rest of the grid is the prom itself. The high symbols are the characters: the prom queen pays best, followed by the cheerleader, the sports jock, the student with spectacles and the dark-haired student. The low symbols are prom props: sunglasses, a cassette player, pom-poms, a rose with a ribbon and a football helmet. Fifteen fixed paylines run across the 5x5 grid, so there is no way to trim the lines and no way to miss a wild because a line was switched off.
Free spins where wilds stay put
The disco ball is the scatter. Three of them award 10 free spins, four award 15 and five award 20. Once the round starts, every expanding wild that lands stays on the reels for the rest of the round, which is the whole point of the feature: the grid fills up with wilds instead of resetting after every spin. When a new wild lands directly above or below a sticky wild, the two merge and their multiplier values are added together, so a sticky wild can keep growing through the round rather than being replaced.
The super version of the round is where the game shows its hand. If a super scatter is among the triggering symbols, super free spins start instead of the standard round, and at least three expanding wilds are guaranteed on the first spin. That guarantee matters because the sticky rule applies from the first spin onward: three wilds locked in place, each able to expand and merge, give the round a shape before a single normal spin has even landed.
Shortcuts, each with a price
Killer Night sells three ways to skip the wait, and they do different jobs. The Ante Bet costs three times the base bet and, according to the game panel quoted in reviews, gives five times the chance of free spins. Super Spin 1 costs 10x and guarantees at least one wild on every spin, while Super Spin 2 costs 200x with better chances of taller expansions and bigger multipliers, but neither Super Spin can trigger free spins at all. The direct buys are 100x for a free spins round and 500x for guaranteed super free spins. Listings taken from the game rules screen put the RTP of each option between 96.44% and 96.52%, so none of them is a bargain in disguise, just a different shape of session.
What to check before playing
Two numbers deserve a second look. One listing gives the max win as 15,000x, but the detailed listings agree on 10,000x, so the table follows the majority and the outlier is worth knowing about rather than repeating. The headline RTP of 96.52% is also only one of three configurations, with 95.49% and 94.51% in circulation, so the setting at your casino is worth checking before a long session. The same applies to stakes: UK coverage lists 20p to 5 pounds, while global listings give 0.20 to 240, and local limits decide which range you actually see. One forecast lists the release as 1 November, but the launch coverage dated 2 November is used here. With a hit frequency of 22.27% in listings, most spins still pay nothing, which is exactly what high volatility means in practice.
