Play The Rift for Free

Don't you just hate it when some plonker goes and opens up a portal to the underworld? Well, that is exactly what has happened in The Rift, since some fool has gone and made a big satanic pentagram on the side of a church on the cobbled streets of a sleepy village. Now, all sorts of weird stuff is beginning to happen, resulting around a series of strange symbols flying around the place, such as otherworldly coins, a vial of potion, an octopus pendant, a stopwatch and a burning book. All very strange indeed, and the only way to piece the mystery together is to spin the reels and see what happens when these icons line up into matched rows!

Thunderkick is a relatively young and exciting game studio, and they already have an impressive catalogue of innovative slot machines with unique themes and stunning graphics. The Rift continues this trend by offering spinners with a game that dares to be different when it comes to style and gameplay.

Aesthetically speaking, the game screen follows the contemporary trend of minimalism, which is to say that the game's symbols don't appear on set reels, as such, but instead they are presented as floating images over a dramatic night-time scene. All in all, the game is designed to a very high standard, capturing the spooky theme with great success.

The Rift is played with 17 fixed paylines, with all wins calculated as multiplications of the total bet – which is all the better since you might end up having to do some scary calculations if there were line bet multipliers involved! In fact, there are 15 different wagering levels, starting from as little as 0.10 credits per spin to the maximum total bet of 100.00 credits. Plus, whenever you change your betting amount, the game's paytable will change all of the prizes accordingly, but you can see our version of the paytable below:

Players who are brave enough to spin this slot machine will be able to open The Rift itself for some special bonus gameplay including sticky wilds and free spins. First of all, the games wild icons will substitute for all paying icons as shown in the table below. Players can turn these wilds into sticky wilds by triggering a “Rift Spin” when they find two scattered logo icons in any reel position. This will cause any wilds on the screen which are not involved in a winning line to remain in position while 1 – 3 extra wilds are added to the screen. These wilds will stick in place until they form a winning combination.

But that's not even the best of it – because players can open the portal to the other side completely if they find three or more bonus scatter icons. This will cause the ground to collapse and the pentagram to glow a devilish red for a round of 10 free spins. During these free games, every additional bonus scatter that appears will cause the pentagram seal to light up one step at a time, with every third step awarding 2 more free spins and an extra sticky wild for every remaining bonus spin. So, with every step you take closer to the underworld, the bigger your winning chances will be improved!

The Rift is a Thunderkick slot machine which promises to open up world of wins to lucky spinners. While the dark and satanic undertones of the theme won't appeal to every punter out there, this video slot certainly does provide plenty of top spinning action with its unusual design and creatively conceived bonus games. Do you dare to see what lies beyond the Rift?
