A rogue AI that turned to nuclear weapons is the villain of Aftermath, a NetEnt video slot released on 3 September 2026, and the heroes are office workers who have traded their spreadsheets for traffic-sign shields, golf clubs and scrap-metal blades to win back the wasteland. Every winning combination pushes a multiplier up by x1 for the rest of the spin, while Bomb and Purge symbols can open the play area out to 6 reels and 8 rows.
Game mechanics
The multiplier rises by x1 with each winning combination and applies to the wins that follow in the same spin. It holds through Avalanches; in the main game it resets between spins, but in Bonus Spins and Super Bonus Spins it carries over until the round finishes.
NetEnt's rules say the game starts with a play area of 4 reels and 6 rows, although the spec line on the same page lists Reels/Rows as 6x4. Extra positions on the grid can be unlocked when the Bomb or Purge features trigger, up to a maximum of 6 reels by 8 rows. In the main game those positions stay open through the Avalanches and close when the spin ends; in either bonus round they remain open to the end of that round.
Two types of Wild can appear anywhere on the reels, regular Wilds and Special Wilds, and they substitute for all symbols apart from the Scatter and the Special symbols. Wild substitution pays the highest possible winning combination on a scattered win, according to the paytable. Only regular Wilds land in the main game; Special Wilds turn up only in the two bonus rounds, and when a win includes one, the multiplier goes up by the value it shows for each winning combination.
In the main game, 3, 4 or 5 Scatters award 8, 10 or 12 Bonus Spins, and 3 Scatters that include at least 1 Super Scatter award 12 Super Bonus Spins. A Scatter landing in Bonus Spins adds 3 spins, and a Super Scatter adds 3 and moves the round up to Super Bonus Spins. NetEnt's rules also name five paid Elevate options: Scatter Hunt, Feature Hunt, Power Boost, Bonus Spins and Aftermath Spins.
Features
- Bomb. Doubles the current spin's multiplier when it explodes, and when several go off together each one doubles it again. A Bomb stays fixed where it landed until its Avalanche is finished.
- Upgrade. Swaps itself and a random number of low-pay symbols for either the highest or the second-highest pay symbol on the reels, picked at random.
- Change. Converts itself and every regular symbol in the 8 positions around it into one of those neighbouring symbols, chosen at random. When no regular symbols are present, it turns into the lowest-pay symbol.
- Purge. Clears itself, all wall portions and every medium and low-pay symbol from the play area, making way for an Avalanche.
- Special Wilds. In Bonus Spins, the only Special Wilds that can land are worth +2. In Super Bonus Spins, a Special Wild with a randomly picked value between +3 and +10 is guaranteed to land on every spin.
How to play the free demo
- Follow the multiplier through each spin of the Aftermath demo, Avalanches included.
- Note which positions a Bomb or Purge opens, since in the main game the larger play area shrinks back once the spin is complete.
- When an Upgrade or Change symbol lands, see which symbols it replaces and what they turn into.
Why try the Aftermath demo
Because the multiplier is not reset between spins of either bonus round, the Aftermath demo lets you follow one figure from the first spin of the round to the last. Super Bonus Spins also guarantee a Special Wild of +3 to +10 on each spin, on a grid that keeps every position Bomb or Purge has opened.
