Devil's Number from Red Tiger Gaming: Slot Review - a fiendishly fun game!

Step inside a mysterious and dusty old library if you dare in this spooky new title from Red Tiger Gaming. This slot revolves around the famous numbers ‘666’ which are said to be the mark of the Devil to tie in conveniently with the name of the game here. According to legend, it is said that in this library lies a very special purple book that contains detailed instructions on how to call forth the big man from deep down below. Read on to find out if using dark arts to summon forth Big Red is worth a few spins of your time?

Devil's Number is a 5 reel slot with 30 paylines that includes Upgrade and Remove features as well as Free Spins bonus game.

Special Features

Devil’s Number features a range of comic-book styled symbols including a Potion Bottle, Scrolls, a Book, a Cauldron, along with classic low paying symbols such as A, K, Q, J, and 10. The highest paying symbol in this game to keep on eye out for is the Potion Bottle with Skulls on top. Land 5 of these symbols on an active payline and you’ll be leaving the library with a nice cash prize worth 20X your wager!

Interestingly, this game does not feature any Wild symbols but it does have 2 special bonus features that can further increase your chances of landing a big win on the reels. They are as follows:

• Upgrade – this feature can trigger on any base game spin when you have a winning combination featuring only high-paying symbols such as Scrolls, Books, Cauldrons, and Potion Bottles. Once triggered, these symbols will be boosted to pay out even more than their non-upgraded versions.
• Remove – activates when you form a win of low paying symbols. This feature removes winning symbols with a cascade triggering to give you even more chances to win again on the reels.

Devil’s Number also comes with the obligatory Free Spins bonus round. This feature is triggered by landing 3 Scatter symbols on the same spin. The Scatter symbol in this game is represented by the number 9 and appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4. Once activated, these symbols will flip to reveal ‘666’ which is, of course, the mark of the beast and the name of the game. You’ll then be granted 12 Free Spins with both Upgrade and Remove featuring more prominently here. For example, upgraded symbols will pay out for the duration of Free Spins with low-paying symbols also removed permanently for the entire feature when the Remove feature is active. Pleasingly, it is also possible to retrigger this bonus feature with 6 Extra Spins awarded when you land 3 additional Scatters.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

In terms of visuals, this game is clearly inspired by comic books of the past as it features superb hand-drawn like graphics and is set in a dark and dimly lit library. The symbols in this game are wonderfully rendered onscreen and consist of Potion Bottles, Cauldrons, Scrolls, Books, along with a bunch of classic A – 10 playing card icons. The animations are very impressive as symbols burst into life when part of a winning payline and are highlighted by a fiery red frame. In particular, a nice touch is when you are close to triggering the Free Spins feature as the reels shake and rumble as you anxiously wait to see if the final 9 symbol will show up or not. It really enhances the gameplay.

The music has a creepy and sinister edge to it that dramatically transforms into a banging Heavy Metal soundtrack whenever you trigger the Free Spins feature. Surprisingly, it actually complements the fast-paced gameplay really well.

The game has 30 paylines, a healthy RTP of 96%, and a maximum payout worth 2,500X your total bet.

Our Verdict on Devil's Number

Leading software provider Red Tiger Gaming produced this slot and it’s a fiendishly good slot we thoroughly enjoyed playing. The dark theme may not appeal to every player but it does offer exciting gameplay as well as a nice but small range of bonus features. The star attraction here is the Free Spins feature which thankfully only took a few spins to trigger. It is here where you can land massive cash payouts thanks to low paying symbols being removed along with boosted upgraded symbols too. Believe it or not but I actually won 257.00 on a 2.00 bet in this highly lucrative feature here! The top prize for this slot is a superb 2,500X your stake which can be won when the Upgrade feature is in play. In terms of variance, I would say this slot is High so make sure to have plenty of bankroll in your pocket before entering this spooky library!
