Cursed Moon Power Collection

Cursed Moon Power Collection is a horror slot from Play’n GO, released on 15 August 2026. It plays on a 5x4 grid with 1,024 ways, returns 96.2% at high volatility and takes bets from 0.10 to 10. The top prize is 15,000x the bet. The name is the mechanic: you collect power, and the game levels up as you do.

A Vampire In The Dead Wood

The reels hang in a stone frame in a forest of bare black branches under a clouded moon. A vampire in a red-lined cloak and top hat stands on the left of the screen, gun in hand, and reacts as the round develops – when the feature builds, the whole scene floods purple and he throws his arms wide.

The symbols are the monster roster: the red vampire, a purple magician, a green werewolf and a blue werewolf as the premiums, with A, K, Q and J cut in red gothic lettering underneath.

The Paytable

Play’n GO prints the values at the stake you have selected. At a bet of €10.00, for five, four and three of a kind:

Vampire – €35 / €15 / €5
Magician – €20 / €10 / €5
Green werewolf – €15 / €6 / €3
Blue werewolf – €10 / €6 / €2
A – €6 / €4
K – €5 / €4
Q – €4 / €2
J – €3 / €2

Five vampires on one way are worth 3.5x the bet. That is tiny – and on a 1,024-ways game it has to be, because a single spin can pay dozens of ways at once.

The Game Counts The Ways

Every win is labelled with its total and the number of ways behind it. Our clearest example: the jacks and aces lit up red across the grid and the banner read “€18 – 9 WAYS WON”, with the win box confirming €18.

Nine ways of the cheapest symbols for 1.8x the stake is the honest shape of the base game here. The reels tick over; they do not decide anything.

Level Up

The feature that gives the game its name announces itself in red capitals directly on the reels: LEVEL UP, with red beams firing across the grid from the symbol that triggered it. A counter sits in a red badge at the top left corner of the frame – ours read 1 early on and 5 later in the same session.

Above the grid on the right sits a row of multipliers – x1, x2, x3 and x5 – which is what the levels are climbing towards. Slot catalogues list cash collector, symbols collection and expanding reels alongside the free spins, so the level is doing several things at once: raising the multiplier, growing the grid, and banking what has been gathered.

Eight Free Spins And Level Five

When the collection completes, a purple banner unrolls over the reels under a stone bat carving, headed LEVEL 1, and spells the reward out in plain words:

“8 Free Spins Awarded”
“Level 5 Awarded”
“Press Spin to begin”

That second line is the interesting one. The round does not start at level one and climb – it starts at level five, the top of the multiplier row. Eight free spins running at the highest level from the first spin is a very different proposition to eight spins that have to earn their way up.

Four Prizes, Oddly Named

The ladder down the left edge carries four fixed prizes, and the naming is not the usual order. At our €10 bet:

MAJOR – €10,000, or 1,000x
MEGA – €1,000, or 100x
MINOR – €500, or 50x
MINI – €100, or 10x

Most studios put Mega above Major; here it is the other way round, so check the amounts rather than the words. And note that even the Major at 1,000x is only a fifteenth of the game’s 15,000x maximum – the ladder is a feature, not the ceiling.

Where 15,000x Comes From

Put the pieces together and the arithmetic makes sense. Five vampires pay 3.5x on one way; a fully grown grid running towards 1,024 ways can carry that symbol across many of them at once; and a free spins round that opens at a x5 multiplier applies to all of it. The ceiling is the product of way count and level, not of any single symbol.

1,024 Ways On Twenty Positions

Five reels of four symbols each is 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 – 1,024 ways, exactly the figure on the data sheet. Every path from left to right counts, so a symbol does not need to sit on a line; it only needs to appear somewhere on each consecutive reel.

That is why the paytable can afford to be so flat. Nine ways of jacks was worth 1.8x; the same symbol covering three full reels would pay 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 ways at once, and the arithmetic escalates from there. The catalogues also list expanding reels, which pushes the ways count higher still during the feature.

A Narrow Bet Range

One practical detail worth knowing before you sit down: the stake range here is 0.10 to 10, which is unusually tight. Most modern slots go to 100 or more. On a game whose headline is a 15,000x maximum, that cap keeps the biggest possible payout grounded – and it makes this a game to play at a comfortable stake for a long session rather than a short high-roller burst.

Watch The RTP Version

Play’n GO ships this game in several RTP versions, and the catalogues flag it as a range rather than one number. The 96.2% quoted here is the headline setting; your casino may be running a lower one. The reels, the levels and the four prizes are identical either way, so the game rules screen is the place to check.

What The Bet Changes

Everything scales with the stake. Our screenshots were taken at the €10 maximum. At the 0.10 minimum every figure is a hundred times smaller: five vampires pay 35 cents, the Major is worth €100 and our nine-way spin would have been 18 cents. The multiples do not move.

More From Play’n GO

Play’n GO has been building most of its recent releases around meters and growing grids. Static Nightmare Abyssways grows its reels to 46,656 ways on another horror theme, Lawn n’ Disorder pairs 243 ways with a Hold and Spin round, and Rings of Prosperity uses three fixed jackpots instead.

Who It Is For

Cursed Moon Power Collection is for players who like a feature they can watch approach. The level counter is always on screen, the multiplier row shows exactly what is at stake, and the reward screen tells you in plain English what you have won. The base game is deliberately thin – 1.8x for nine ways is typical – but a free spins round that opens at level five is worth the wait. All six casinos we checked carry it.
