How to Play Whispers of Nyx
Six steps from your first spin to the 3,000x cap. Twenty fixed lines, Extra Wilds in base play, full-reel expansion in the bonus.
Set Your Bet
Open Whispers of Nyx and set a bet per line. Spinomenal does not publish a fixed range — the limits are set by your casino. The round you eventually trigger locks that bet in, so pick a level you are happy to sit at for up to fifty free spins, not one you plan to raise later.
Spin the 5x4 Grid
Hit spin or set autoplay. Five reels, four rows, 20 fixed lines paying from left to right starting at the leftmost reel. Only the highest win on each line is paid. The temple and the raven are the premium symbols, the lyre and the amphora sit in the middle, and A, K, Q and J fill the bottom.
Watch for Extra Wilds
This is the only Wild feature that works in base play. While the reels are still spinning the game can add between three and six Wild symbols to the screen — the paytable says three to six, base game only. They substitute for everything except the Free Spins moon and are on the board before the lines are evaluated.
Trigger the Free Spins
Three scattered Free Spins symbols award 10 spins, four award 25 and five award 50. The scatter only works in base play, and the bet per line and line count stay exactly as they were on the triggering spin. Spinomenal publishes no trigger rate, so treat the wait as unknown rather than scheduled.
Expand Nyx Across the Reel
Inside the free spins round the Wild rules change. A landing Wild expands to fill its entire reel, and if one or more Wilds expanded the game awards one re-spin. On top of that, scattered Expanding Wilds pay their own prize — x2 for one, x5 for two, x10 for three, x20 for four — in addition to the regular payline wins.
Decide on the Bonus Buy
The Buy menu lists three tiers: 40x for 10 free spins, 100x for 25 free spins, 200x for 50 free spins. They are identical to the rounds the scatters award, so the purchase buys time rather than better odds. The help page notes the bought round carries its own RTP figure, set by the operator. Several regulated markets block bonus buys entirely.
Symbol Paytable
Payouts below are multiples of your total stake. Spinomenal's paytable states wins are multiplied by the bet per line, so these figures are the client's per-line values divided by the 20 fixed lines — a conversion, not a quote. Spinomenal doesn't name its symbols in the paytable, so each one is described by what the artwork shows.
Bonus Features Explained
Each feature plays differently. Here's what actually happens — no marketing fluff. Every mechanic is detailed in the Whispers of Nyx bonus features guide.
Expanding Wild Nyx
Inside the free spins round, a Wild that lands stretches to cover its entire reel — all four positions. Spinomenal’s own paytable places this behaviour in free spins mode rather than base play.
Re-Spin Expanding Wild
If one or more Wilds expanded during a free spin, the game awards one re-spin. Scattered Expanding Wilds pay their own ladder on top of the lines: x2 for one, x5 for two, x10 for three, x20 for four.
Extra Wilds
While the reels are spinning the game can add three to six Wild symbols to the screen. Base game only, says the paytable — and it is the reason base spins land anything, since Wilds do not expand outside the bonus.
Free Spins with Buy Option
Three scattered moons award 10 free spins, four award 25, five award 50, and the bet carries over unchanged. The Buy menu lists the same three rounds at 40, 100 and 200 times the bet.
Quick Strategy Tips
Bankroll first. Spinomenal calls this a high-volatility game and publishes nothing more precise — no hit frequency, no scatter rate. With every expansion mechanic locked inside free spins, the only safe plan is a bankroll that survives several hundred base spins without a bonus.
Know which RTP you are on. Spinomenal ships four settings for this game — 89.53%, 92.60%, 94.19% and 95.78% — and the casino chooses. That is a six-point spread, bigger than any feature on the reels. Read the rules screen before you spin.
Count expanded reels, not wins. Inside free spins the scattered Expanding Wilds pay x2, x5, x10 or x20 for one, two, three or four of them, and the paytable is explicit that this is in addition to the payline wins. Four expanded reels is both the top of that ladder and the board shape that pushes line wins toward the cap.
The buy tiers are not a discount. 40x buys 10 spins, 100x buys 25, 200x buys 50 — five times the money for five times the spins. The choice between them is variance, not value. And the bought round reports its own operator-set RTP in the rules screen, so check it rather than assuming it matches the base figure.
