Cursed Crypt — RTP, volatility and max win

Cursed Crypt by Hacksaw Gaming takes you into a cursed crypt in ancient Egypt: pharaohs, scarabs, pyramids and stone treasures meet demons and horror magic. Expanding symbols can stretch across whole reels, and a symbol swap transforms symbols on the grid.

Cursed Crypt came out on June 6, 2024. Its 5×4 reels hold 1,024 ways, and each spin takes a bet between €0.10 and €100. Alongside the Egyptian icons, the low symbols come as suit symbols. Shortcuts are on offer too: an optional bonus bet and a bonus buy that goes straight to the free spins.

Across the 5×4 block, the 1,024 ways require matching symbols on adjacent reels from the first reel onwards; the row does not matter. Several matching symbols on one reel multiply the number of ways. Expanding symbols and symbol swaps can fill a reel with more matching symbols.

Expanding symbols stretch to the full height of a reel and fill all four rows, which completes several combinations at once on a ways grid. The symbol swap turns certain symbols on the grid into others and can turn near misses into wins.

Scatters launch the free spins, which extra spins can stretch further. The bonus buy starts the free spins directly, while the bonus bet raises the stake per spin.

In Cursed Crypt expanding symbols fill a whole reel and complete several combinations at once on the ways grid; other Inferno titles that work the same way are listed under inferno slots with expanding symbols.

RTP 94.29%, lower than 83% of the 400 Inferno slots. Background: how RTP works on a slot. Volatility Medium-high, like 14 of the 114 slots in the Demon theme. Background: what slot volatility means. Max win 10,000× (€1,000,000 at the highest stake). Background: what max win means on a slot. Hit frequency 21%: roughly one spin in 5 wins.

A 10,000× cap puts it above 75% of Inferno titles, while its 94.29% return is on the low side.

With medium-high volatility, roughly one spin in five pays, as the hit frequency of 21% shows. The big potential sits in the free spins, when expanding symbols fill whole reels.

Versions of Cursed Crypt differ in their return level, and even the highest one is low; how far the levels of other Inferno slots reach is shown on the RTP of inferno slots page.
