Angel vs Sinner Slot Review

You may be thinking – Oh, no, not another Pragmatic Play slot review. Well, we have a good reason for analyzing this game, which we will explain below. In this intro, we will tell you that maybe Malta’s most famous gaming product provider debuted this title at exclusive sites on August 25, 2024, and then gave it a wide release on September 5. Expectedly, in the first few days following its global distribution, this game is pulling in pretty decent numbers everywhere. Yet, what is interesting about it is that we saw no news promoting its debut, and we cannot tell which exclusive platforms this game first showed up on.

Angel vs Sinners advertises a virtual celestial battle between good and evil on Pragmatic Play’s official website, which does not give this product too much shine and seems to be most interested in promoting its availability at social casinos. However, we do not care about any of that and are here to tell you how good this online slot is and why we have chosen to review it. We do that in the content that follows.

Theme & Design

In 2014, Betsoft came out with an Internet spinner named Good Girl Bad Girl. We used to play this game all the time. It was one of our favorites because, at the time, few online slots featured an RTP as high as this one, which stood at 97.8% at some sites. It got paired with medium/high variance, a hit frequency of 27, and a max win of x15,600 on a top wager of $150. One of the chief reasons this game was such a hit back in the day was that it featured two modes with slightly different settings. If you selected to play as the female angel, you would get a medium variance math model, and the devil one would bring to light higher variance play. Good Girl Bad Girl had loads of features, and we assume that, to some degree, it inspired AngeL vs Sinner.

That said, many other providers have dabbled with this good versus evil theme. Other examples of it getting exploited on virtual reels in this fashion, similar to the one in Good Girl Bad Girl, are Lil Devil from Big Time Gaming, Passion Bets by Spinoro, Bang Bang Game’s Angels vs Devils, and Angels & Demons from SimplePlay, to name a few.

As always, Pragmatic Play does more than an adequate job with the presentation of this game, where the two main characters have a bit of an anime look to them, but the symbols have more of an American cartoon vibe. You get some heavily-type music playing, which has a slight fairy tale mood, and some acapella singing joins in the free spin soundtrack. We hate that Pragmatic Play is again using the slot machine alarm noises here. They are overdoing it with these, and they ruin the playing experience for us. The same goes for other sound effects of this type featured in Angel vs Sinner and other titles from this company.

We should mention that the reels here spin inside a golden frame, and the two characters flank them, the angel on the left and the Sinner on the right, with the traditional Pragmatic Play button interface underneath.

The animations here are pretty typical, and we would say that the overall presentation in Angel vs Sinner feels a bit too much by the book.

Specs & Gameplay

Angel vs Sinner comes in three RTP iterations. These are 94.55%, 95.52%, and 96.56%. The last one is the most common, and it gets coupled with a high variance and a max win of x15,000, which is likely to be attained once every sixty million spins. The general hit frequency here is around 25. So, that means that one in every fourth spin should be a winning one in this 5×5 game with fifteen paylines. The likelihood of you getting access to the free spin round is one in two hundred, and the lowest bet you can make on the five-reel, five-row layout of this slot is $0.10, while the highest is $240. That is the standard Pragmatic Play range nowadays.

In terms of gameplay, you get nothing unexpected here. Symbols pay left to right, with only the highest win pre-line getting paid out. Winning combos must feature three to five matching tokens lining up on a defined pay line. The low-pay ones are A to 10 royals, producing wins of x1 to x1.5 when five identical royals land on a spin. Their premium counterparts are a rose, a blue raven, a unicorn, and the two female characters. These symbols generate wins from x2 to x8 when five matching ones from this group land.

The wild of Angel vs Sinner is the word itself in yellow, overlaid on a green square. It pays x8, the same as the angel for five-of-a-kind combos, and can substitute all the other pay symbols.

Bonus Features

You do not get much in the way of bonus features here. Expanding wilds (a blue and red heart) can appear in Angel vs Sinner on any reel, at any moment, covering the entire column, and they can apply multipliers between x2 and x100 to win combos. If you have a prize combination with more than one expanding wild, their multipliers are added together.

Castle scatters show on the first, third, and fifth reels, and getting three in view activates the free spin bonus, which awards ten on-the-house gaming rounds. During these, expanding wilds can appear, and you cannot retrigger this feature, but you can buy it for x75. Its activation is followed by the dreaded machine alarm sound effect.

GOSU Verdict

We were hoping for a new Good Girl Bad Girl, but what we got was a remake of Zeus vs Hades: Gods of War. The variance level here is pretty high, and the lack of unique extra features makes it difficult for us to tell you to play this game. Maybe if the expanding wilds with multipliers sound attractive, you may want to try this game out, but we would advise against it because we see this as pretty run-of-the-mill Pragmatic Play fare.
