Angels & Demons — RTP, volatility and max win

Angels & Demons by SimplePlay pits angels against demons: heaven and white stone on one side, candles, darkness and hellfire on the other. Random wilds drop onto the reels in the base game, a multiplier rides along in the free spins, and a progressive jackpot keeps growing in the background.

Angels & Demons came out on February 27, 2017, which makes it one of the older games in the SimplePlay catalogue. The screen splits into a bright heavenly half and a red-and-black underworld, and the symbols show angels, demons, candles and stone figures. The reels come as 5×3 and hold 30 paylines. The bet can sit anywhere from €0.05 to €300, an unusually wide range that covers both cautious test spins and very large bets.

Only fixed lines pay: 30 paylines in total, each read left to right from the first reel, and the matching symbols must sit next to each other. Random wilds can be added to the reels after the stop. Scatters do not count on the lines; their job is to open the free spins. The jackpot runs separately from the line pays.

Random wilds: in the base game Angels & Demons drops extra wilds onto the grid without warning. A spin that shows only one or two scattered line hits can suddenly close several lines at once.

Free spins and multiplier: landing scatters opens the bonus round, where wins are multiplied, so the same line hits pay more than they would in the base game.

Progressive jackpot: part of every stake feeds a growing pot that pays out independently of the lines. Because the pot keeps rising until someone hits it, the biggest prize has no fixed size.

Since Angels & Demons runs a progressive jackpot next to its paylines, the list of inferno slots with jackpots gathers the other games with a growing pot.

RTP 96%, higher than 48% of the 400 Inferno slots. Background: how RTP works on a slot. Volatility High, like 85 of the 180 slots in the Hell & devil theme. Background: what slot volatility means.

At 96%, Angels & Demons lands almost exactly on the Inferno midpoint.

Volatility is high, and here it comes mainly from the multiplied free spins and the jackpot. The base game tends to pay small line hits, while the big amounts arrive in bursts during the bonus round or through the pot. Expect quiet stretches between those moments, which is the trade-off for the multiplier and the progressive prize sitting on top of an ordinary payline game.

Because the jackpot in Angels & Demons has no fixed biggest prize, the fixed caps of the other games are easier to compare in the list of inferno slots ranked by max win.
