Demon Pots

Demon Pots: Slot Overview

For a while there, Pragmatic Play The team at Reel Kingdom, a sister company, has been known for releasing some of the most unusual slot games that have crossed our review desk. Their unique titles, Star Pirate Code , Cash Elevator , and Tic Tac Take instantly come to mind, and although they may not be as mind-altering as Crazy Tooth Studios the more psychedelic options out there, they are certainly quirky. After striking gold with Big Bass Bonanza Reel Kingdom introduced a series of fishing-themed slots that shook up the online gambling scene. Demonstrating their knack for peculiar slot games, the studio presents Demon Pots, a nostalgic nod to their earlier days of producing 'what is this' kind of games.

With a title like Demon Pots and the fiery visuals, players are likely to feel as though they've descended to a toasty corner of the underworld. In this enigmatic place, sensations are heightened by a ska-influenced soundtrack reminiscent of The Specials, accompanying the journey. Players encounter a sole denizen of this realm, a demon-like character with bright red skin and horns, depicted on the wild symbol. Contrary to his menacing appearance, he is quite handy, substituting for paying symbols and triggering features. The overall aesthetic and soundscape match Reel Kingdom's style, being quirky and somewhat budget-friendly, which might not appeal at first glance. In essence, Demon Pots is certainly an acquired taste.

Beneath the surface of the game lies a highly volatile mathematical model, rated at 4.5 out of 5, that delivers an RTP of 96.01% when playing \"normally\" or when buying free spins slight boost to 96.02% when using the Ante Bet option. This option increases the base wager by 50%, enhancing the likelihood of activating assorted bonus modes. Regular bets range from a modest 40 pence or cents per spin and can rise to a substantial $/€240.

The game's layout is a 5-reel, 3-row setup featuring 40 paylines where players can align combinations of three to five matching symbols. The lower-value symbols are represented by 10 to Ace card royals, paying out 1x the bet for a five-symbol win. Higher-value symbols include horseshoes, tridents, wads of cash, cash bags, and golden items, worth between 1.6 to 10 times the stake for a five-of-a-kind combination. As mentioned, the wild symbol portrays the demon, which substitutes for other symbols except Coin symbols. In general play, wilds only appear centrally on the grid.

Demon Pots: Slot Features

The game includes an array of features such as Coins, Win Spins, free spins, and the option to buy free spins, each with its own set of rules and intricacies.

Coins

Coin symbols appear with values from 0.2 to 2 times the total bet. When a wild lands together with Coin symbols, their combined value is awarded. Post-spin, wilds may hurl fireballs at the pots situated above the reels, potentially activating one or more. Activating the Coins pot adds six Coin symbols valued at 0.2 to 1x the bet to the reels for collection. If the Super Coins pot awakens, it brings six coins valued at 0.4 to 2x the bet onto the grid.

Win Spins

Activating the Win Spins pot grants six respins. Throughout this feature, the wild symbol stays fixed at the center of the grid. Each respin is guaranteed to win through combinations, collections, Coins, or Super Coins. Should the Win Spins pot be re-triggered during this phase, an additional six respins are awarded.

Free Spins

If players trigger the Free Spins pot, they receive six free spins where the wild remains centrally positioned. Any pot can randomly activate during the free spins. Within this mode, a fully stacked wild might land on reel 5, with a chance for another to hit reel 4 later. The fully stacked wilds remain sticky until the feature's conclusion. When reel 5 hosts a stacked wild, all Coin collections multiply by three, and if both reels 4 and 5 have stacked wilds, the multiplier rises to six. During free spins, if Win Spins trigger, any sticky wilds clear, but multipliers still apply. On returning to free spins, the stacked wilds restore their position. Should the Free Spins pot activate again, it awards another six free spins.

Buy Free Spins

For a cost equivalent to 100 times the bet, players can purchase the free spins bonus. Doing this activates the Win Spins pot, followed by the Free Spins pot upon their completion.

Demon Pots: Slot Verdict

A less-than-favorable sign during a slot review is the dread of enduring further 'torment' from retriggers in a bonus round, which was experienced in Demon Pots, undeniably an unusual slot. Ultimately, whether this oddness is of the good or bad variety is subjective, but it was not a title that captured much enthusiasm for repeated play around here. Imagine a version of a classic Pragmatic Play slot stripped of its refined polish. While Demon Pots undoubtedly has its distinct style, bucking the norm doesn't guarantee wide appeal. Hellvis Wild Despite its unique personality, Demon Pots offers relatively original gaming elements, albeit somewhat. Points of appeal include the perceived value - though not guaranteed - in purchasing the bonus round, which starts with six Win Spins warming up to free spins. However, Win Spins don't always translate to significant winnings, since it's still a slot game, and not all bonus buys lead to positive outcomes. For instance, Coin values max out at 2x the stake, casting doubt on their 'super' reputation. At least there's the chance of numerous Coins appearing, and with sticky full-stacked wilds deployed, it's theoretically possible to amplify Coin values.

Although the potential winnings max out at an impressive 6,000 times the bet, it's challenging to envision that number being achieved with Demon Pots' current offerings. It was reassuringly nostalgic to see Reel Kingdom venture into the eccentric once more, but it wasn't the enjoyable kind of odd, reducing excitement for future play.

There's no question that Demon Pots stands out, albeit not for all the right reasons.
