Moonlit Raven

Moonlit Raven is a Backseat Gaming slot released on 11 August 2026, and its identity lives almost entirely in the bonus round: a four-level progression ladder where each new level hands you a revolver to fire at a 3x3 grid of hidden rewards.

Those rewards build a global multiplier, add persistent wilds or reload the revolver, and everything you win from the grid lasts for the rest of the bonus. The game is rated very high volatility, with a 20.61% hit frequency and a maximum win of 10,000.

Provider: Backseat Gaming. Release date: 11 August 2026. Volatility: very high. Hit frequency: 20.61%. Max win: 10,000. RTP: 96.01%, 94.01%, 92.01% or 90.01%, depending on the casino.

A 20.61% hit frequency means a win roughly once every five spins on average. The very high volatility rating reflects how much of the value is concentrated in the free spins, and specifically in how far up the ladder a bonus manages to climb.

With four RTP versions in circulation, the setting you play against is chosen by the operator. The game information screen shows which one is live.

During bonus games a progression ladder with 4 levels sits above the grid. Collecting 3 bonus symbols moves you up one level.

Every new level brings two things: +2 additional free spins, and a turn on the special 3x3 revolver grid. Levelling up therefore both extends the round and improves it, since everything the revolver reveals carries forward.

The provider's summary does not describe how the bonus game itself is triggered or how many free spins it starts with. Check the paytable in the demo for those numbers.

When you reach a new level, a 3x3 grid of nine tiles appears and you receive a revolver loaded with 6 bullets. The revolver fires at 6 of the 9 tiles, and each tile that is hit reveals a reward.

Six shots at nine tiles means two thirds of the grid is hit on a standard round of fire, with three tiles left untouched. After a tile is hit, a new reward is shown in its place, so the grid refreshes as you shoot rather than running out.

There are three reward types on the revolver grid.

Global multiplier: a value of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x that is added to the global multiplier. The global multiplier is persistent for the entire bonus round, so every hit raises the level for all remaining spins. Two hits of 5x and 10x, for example, add 15x to the running total.

Wild symbol: each wild revealed increases the number of wilds in play, and that increase is also persistent for the whole bonus. According to Backseat Gaming, every spin can then land those wilds on a new tile, so they are not fixed in one position.

Reload: refills the revolver chamber to 6 bullets. This is the reward that extends a level's shooting session, giving you more hits on the grid than the standard six.

Because the global multiplier and extra wilds both persist, rewards collected at the first level are worth more than the same rewards collected at the fourth. They apply to more of the remaining spins.

Reloads are the swing factor. A reload restores all 6 bullets, and because hit tiles refresh with new rewards, a well-timed reload can turn one level into a much longer run of multiplier and wild upgrades. A level with no reload gives you exactly six rewards.

The best bonuses are likely to be the ones that reach level two or three early, pick up a reload, and bank a sizeable global multiplier with plenty of free spins still to play.

The free demo is the easiest way to judge how often the ladder actually progresses. Keep an eye on how many bonus symbols typically land per bonus and how often you reach the second, third and fourth levels; the mix of multiplier, wild and reload rewards you see on the 3x3 grid; and how much the extra wilds change the frequency of wins once several are in play.

Also look at the base game, which the provider summary does not describe in detail, and confirm the grid layout and pay structure in the rules.

Moonlit Raven builds its bonus around one satisfying loop: collect three bonus symbols, climb a level, take six shots at the grid. The persistent multiplier and wilds give each level lasting value, and reloads add upside to every shooting round.

Check which RTP version the casino offers, and expect very high volatility with a 10,000 ceiling.

What is the RTP of Moonlit Raven?

Moonlit Raven is available in four RTP versions: 96.01%, 94.01%, 92.01% and 90.01%. The casino chooses which one to run, so the long-run return depends on where you play. The game's information screen shows the active setting, and the 96.01% version returns six percentage points more over time than the lowest.

How does the Moonlit Raven bonus work?

During bonus games, a four-level ladder sits above the grid. Collecting 3 bonus symbols moves you up a level, which awards +2 free spins and opens a 3x3 grid. A six-bullet revolver fires at 6 of the 9 tiles, revealing global multipliers, extra wilds or a reload, all of which last for the rest of the bonus.

What does the revolver reveal in Moonlit Raven?

Each tile hit by the revolver reveals one of three rewards. A global multiplier adds 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x to a multiplier that persists for the whole bonus. A wild symbol permanently increases the number of wilds in play. A reload refills the revolver to 6 bullets. Hit tiles then show a new reward.

What is the max win on Moonlit Raven?

Backseat Gaming lists the maximum win on Moonlit Raven as 10,000. The largest results depend on the bonus round, where climbing the four-level ladder builds a persistent global multiplier and adds wilds, with reloads extending each shooting round. The in-game rules explain exactly how the cap applies to your stake.

Is Moonlit Raven high volatility?
