Play Demon's Gate for Free

The Demon’s Gate slot has a return to players of 96.02% and I was pleasantly surprised by the frequency on winning spins. Around one in four led to a prize, but did, of course, vary widely. I found 22 bet levels from a range of 0.2 credits to 100 which is a generous spread. There are various bonus buy modes, including standard free spins for 100x the bet upfront and despite frequent wins in the base games, I ended up taking this option.

Anytime clusters of five or more matched symbols land, they explode, triggering an Avalanche as the remaining symbols drop down and new ones replenish the reels from above. I saw runs of four, five, or more Avalanches in a row on several occasions, which is a better rate than I tend to get from most slots with a similar system.

Wilds help by acting as others and pay from 0.5x to 50x when they create clusters without substituting for anything else. Multiplier versions come with values of 3x, 10x, 20x, 30x, or 100x that apply to any wins they help to create. When part of a win, they increase by their base value, with no set limit on how high this can go over a series of Avalanches. However, I hardly saw any of these, and during the base games, none of them were in winning clusters as I played the Demon’s Gate slot online.

The grinning red demon in any three or more places is the trigger for five free spins. Before they start, the action moves to a world of fire, lava, and the demon’s vast castle, and I was impressed by the high-end animations as they took me through the gate itself.

You start with just five spins, but any further demon bonus symbols, including those from the triggering spins, collect in a meter above. Collecting six, then nine, 13, and 17 bonus symbols awards five extra free games each time. A 3x multiplier wild is always present, moving around on each free spin, increasing to 10x, 20x, 30x, and 100x on retriggers. There’s a Super version, triggered if a golden Samurai helmet was among the bonus symbols, and two multiplier wilds are active throughout.

I managed 20 spins, winning 275x my bet, but had to put up 100x upfront. It’s a risky move, so if you can wait for them to trigger naturally, that’s perhaps a safer option.

Clusters of matched symbols pay these portions of the total bet -
