Play Cathedral 9 for Free

This isn’t the ninth slot in a series of ‘Cathedral’ games, but whatever the number in the title means, this is a good-looking, if eerie game. Play the Cathedral 9 slot online to explore a dimly lit nave surrounded by statues. The misty, rubble-strewn floor holds an alter of symbols, topped by the Feature Reel. Stained glass runes in various colours, an orb, goblet and golden owl pay higher prizes when enough land at once.

Decorative coffins, collection bowls, and haunting choral soundtrack add to the mysteries of this desktop and mobile slot from casino games provider, ELK Studios.

You can play with stakes from 0.20 to 100, winning prizes when at least eight matched symbols stop anywhere on the 6x5 grid. Here’s a handy list of how many times the bet you win from each –

Like other games from ELK Studios, the volatility is high, but the average returns are relatively low, at just 94.0%. However, fair play from the Cathedral 9 slot machine is built-in at our approved online casinos where you live and around the world.

You can win up to 25,000x the bet from the various bonus features. These include cascades on every win, as the winning symbols vanish, those above drop down, and new ones fall into view from the top. Cascades, or ‘Drops’, repeat for as long as you get a new win.

Big symbols in 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 sizes land at any time, counting as four, nine, and 16 individual symbols respectively. If a gap appears under a Big symbol on cascades, more of the same type fill the void.

Look above the symbol grid of the Cathedral 9 online slot, to the two rows of a Feature Reel. This can drop extra modifiers onto the main game on a cascade –

• Explosion Feature – This blows away all symbols in the same column and row as itself.

• Collect Feature – Picks a random symbol then gathers all in view into one spot, leaving spaces for new symbols. These can be more examples of the chosen one, for an enhanced prize.

• Wild Symbol – This golden ‘W’ acts as others, and if at least eight are in view, it pays the same as the highest paying symbol.

Mystery Coffins, embossed with long-dead knights and maidens, stack five high. If a coffin reaches the bottom of the grid, it opens, revealing the contents. Fortunately, there are no corpses within, just examples of one symbol type, or wilds, and all coffins in view display the same symbol. They then close and nudge down one row, revealing new symbols at each step until out of view, or cascades end.

If Super mystery coffins appear they reveal symbols, plus a multiplier that applies to a global multiplier value. They can hold 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 500x, or 1,000x the bet and all accumulated multipliers from Super coffins apply to the final win.

An ornate, golden Entombed symbol can fill the Cathedral 9 slot machine grid. This fades away, replaced by one random type of symbol for a guaranteed big win. If a Super Entombed version fills the entire Feature Reel, it picks only a mid-to-high paying symbol.

A Holy Collect bowl below the reels, gathers energy when a blocker drops from the Feature Reel. Randomly, it adds from three to six coffins to the game, for another sure-fire big win.

This is an online slot with free spins, triggered by the appearance of three Bonus symbols. Each awards two, three, or four free drops. Although no more than six bonus symbols can land on the triggering spin, more can appear during the round, adding further drops to the total. Mystery coffins hitting the bottom row add to the global multiplier in the same way, but values don’t reset between cascades.

If you manage to win with all nine symbols over the course of the free drops, you trigger a Super version of the round. From one to six Super mystery coffins will be in view on each of the two, three, or four Super drops.

The comedic Holy Hand Grenade online slot by Print Studios and the spooky Crypt Keeper slot machine from Pariplay are among other games with a similar setting.

Play Cathedral 9 for free on this page to see how an ancient crypt is alive with fast-paced gameplay and features.

Add the multipliers, giant symbols, and free spins and there’s a lot to take in. Once you learn the game, you are ready to unlock the mysteries of the Cathedral 9 slot machine for prizes of up to 25,000x the bet at the top-rated casinos with ELK Studios slots in their range.
