Unleash the Darkness: Discover Hauntingly Demonic Slots

What is a demon? According to the dictionary, it is a malevolent supernatural entity. Virtually all cultures have had the concept of beings similar to what we would consider a demon. Fans of horror films likely remember Pazuzu, the main antagonist in the original The Exorcist, an entity talked about as far back as ancient Mesopotamian writings, believed to bring about locusts and famine. Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome had similar malevolent beings. The same goes for early religious texts. In Islamic traditions, demons are djinns, and it was not until around the 18th or 19th centuries rolled around that people slowly stopped believing in such evil spirits. Although we now love putting them in games and movies, as they add scares like few other things can, giving us an adrenaline rush, which can be exhilarating and enjoyable.

In the online gambling realm, demons have more than a decent presence. Close to two hundred online slots feature them, by what we can tell, and here we seek to introduce you to some of the cooler ones. We shall attempt to list only dark spinners. What do we mean by this? Well, we shall refrain from adding ones with cute-looking demons, as that is not what we are going for with this piece of content.

Dark Summoning

We wanted to open with Red Tiger’s Judgement Day Megaways, a four-horsemen of the apocalypse-themed spinner. Yet, those are symbolic figures representing different aspects of the end times, not demons. So, we will only tell you to check out that game, and we shall move on to tell you more about Hacksaw Gaming’s Dark Summoning. Before we do, we should mention that this provider loves making dark slots, as it has more than a few in its arsenal, with prime examples aside from this one being Bloodthirst and Cursed Crypt.

What is interesting about Dark Summoning is that this is the last Hacksaw title we have reviewed. We have really been slacking off. In our analysis of this game, we also noted this company’s fascination with darker motifs and recommended you seek it out. We shall reiterate this here, as we are fans of this medium-high-variance slot with a max win of x10,666 on a top bet of $100. We will tell you to read our in-depth review of it and only add here that some of the chief reasons to play it, aside from its super cool presentation, are the super cascades it features, the wild multipliers, and multiple bonus rounds.

Devour The Weak

Here is a game we are unsure why more people do not know about. Devour The Weak is a Yggdrasil slot released in April 2023 and is not doing too well anywhere. It has a high variance, a max exposure of x10,000, 243 betways, a hit frequency of 25, and a betting range that starts at $0.10, going up to $100 per spin. The gambling entertainment in Devour The Weak occurs in a hellish underworld, with some super creative demon symbol designs.

You can activate a Golden Bet option in this slot, which will run you 50% more of your stake per spin but will increase your free spin counter and boost the number of hexed tokens. Yggdrasil calls the cascade mechanic the dropdown feature here for some reason, and you have a multiplier trail in this spooky spinner that can go up to a game-high value of x666, which is most appropriate. You fill the free spin meter in Devour The Weak by landing six hexed winning tokens in the same cascade/dropdown sequence. That activates this game’s bonus mode that awards ten on-the-house reel rotations, which is something that you can buy for a cost of x100 your stake.

Darkness

In our opinion, Darkness by Print Studios, for sure, is one of the scariest reel-spinning games out there. Why some may debate this, one thing no one can argue against is that this title lives up to its name, as it is super dark. At times, we could barely see what was happening in this game, whose gaming fun transpires in a dimly lit mansion. The theme here revolves more around dark magic than demons, but it features some supernatural entities, so we thought it qualifies.

The variance level here is medium-high, the hit frequency stands at 32.9, the RTP has gotten adjusted to 96.14% at most sites, and the most you can hope to win in this game is a prize worth x20,000 your stake. That is not too shabby at all, especially considering the max wager is $50 in Darkness, a 5×4 slot with twenty-six paylines, fourteen SuperSpinner positions, mega symbols, and a Dark Ritual bonus where you can summon Lucifer.

Cursed Crypt

We mentioned Cursed Crypt in the Dark Summoning recap, and we want to tell you more about it here. It is another Hacksaw brainchild that recently hit the interactive gaming sphere, appearing in casino lobbies in June 2024. It has done well for itself, and it blends loads of demonic motifs with Ancient Egypt. That much may have been obvious by its name. It is another medium-high-variance product, one with 1,024 betways, a 5×4 grid, a top reward of x10,000, a maximum wager of $100 per spin, a hit frequency of 21, and an RTP of 96.22%.

Cursed Crypt has a film vibe to it, as we can easily imagine someone producing a horror movie with many of the visual elements on hand here. But, on the gaming side, this Hacksaw title attempts to lure you in with two mini-games, the Wrath of Sobek and the Tombo of Tutankhamun, and a base game mechanic where Curse symbols spread to the top row, creating Cursed Positions, transforming into wilds or random pay tokens.

Demon

We decided to go with Demon by Play’n GO for our last listing. We were thinking about Blade & Fangs from Pragmatic Play, but since we were not fans of that release, we chose to go with this one, which debuted in September 2019 and still holds its own in many markets.

It is technically a death metal slot, which is something you should have seen coming, given Play’n GO’s reputation for churning out musical slots. The band that is the basis for this game is one that non-metal fans will likely have not heard of, as it was active in the 1980s and 1990s. It is a British one, which led the new wave UK metal movement.

Like Devour the Weak, the reels here also spin in a demonic underworld, and we really like the background RISE chants and backdrop visuals in this game with some cool Demon music. It has the band’s hit – Night of the Demon, supporting you throughout your sessions on it. There are really no demons in this Play’n GO creation, but given its name, we thought we should add it. Feature-wise, this high-variance slot, with a max exposure of x2,500 and good tunes, has a free spins mode that gives you eleven gratis spins where random multipliers up to x8 come into play. Additionally, landing wild amulets on the first and last reels in this round triggers the Hell Spins, which give you more free spins, and when a wild mask hits in the center,  the active multiplier doubles (x16).
