Devil's Deal (Hot Rise Games)

A Fiendish Pact Game Review

This game offers a break from typical slot themes, presenting new gameplay with a unique bonus mechanic. It operates like respins but provides a payout and multiplier system, offering a unique gaming experience.

Effort has been put into creating a great visual experience. The theme takes a different approach to the character involved. Instead of a fiery setting, you’ll find yourself at a stage of a game show where the character offers you an opportunity to win rewards up to 20,000x the stake. However, getting the desired riches comes at a price.

The price varies depending on what stakes you prefer. Expect the game to be highly-volatile, so there’s high risk involved. The RTP can be below satisfactory levels, up to a minimum of 90%. The highest setting is 96.05%.

The game plays out across a large 6-reel, 6-row setup, producing 46,656 ways to play. Symbols include card ranks, as well as other symbols. The latter is the most rewarding, paying 60x your bet for combinations of six, while the rest is worth from 7x to 25x your bet for six-of-a-kind. All symbols can appear stacked on the reels.

Game Features

There are special symbols involved, giving players extra chances of winning. First is the wild symbol. It is available on any of the reels except for the first, acting as a substitute for any other regular symbols.

Next is the mystery symbol. They always appear in stacks, covering up to the whole reel, and at the end of the spin, all mystery symbols transform into the same random regular symbol.

The most desired are bonus symbols, which are the key to triggering the main bonus. When 5 or more appear, respins are activated, and players proceed to special reels consisting only of bonus symbols and special multiplier symbols.

Players receive 3 respins to work with, but whenever a new bonus or multiplier shows up, the respins counter is reset. Upon the start, the triggering bonus symbols fall to the bottom positions of their reels and get locked. If a new bonus appears, it falls to the next available position and gets held as well. Each bonus has a value of a multiple equal to the total number of bonus symbols locked on that corresponding reel. Bonus symbols are available only on the lower 5 rows, while the top row is assigned solely for Multipliers.

When a Multiplier symbol lands on the top row, it gets locked, and a multiplier is assigned to the bonus values directly underneath. Multiplier values are 7x, 6x, 5x, 4x, 3x, and 2x. If 2 or more Multipliers are present on consecutive reels, the multipliers are added for all bonus symbols in their reels. Accordingly, if you manage to land all 6 multiplier symbols, their combined value will make 27x, hence reels with 1 bonus will display 27x value, reels with 2 bonuses will do 54x, and so forth.

For those willing to skip the base game, there’s a Buy Feature available. For a fixed cost, a spin with 5 to 9 triggering bonuses will be activated.

Review Summary

Overall, the game offers gameplay that will be enjoyed by players seeking new gaming experiences. Plus, it is impressive on the surface, featuring an exciting theme and visuals, so a session is guaranteed.
