Demon — RTP, volatility and max win

Demon by Play'n GO puts a masked demon on a gloomy stage in black, grey and violet, somewhere between a rock show and a world of shadows. Mystery symbols reveal one shared symbol after the reels stop, and the free spins add a multiplier.

Demon was released on September 26, 2019 and leans fully on mood: the masked singer takes centre stage, the colours stay dark and cold, and fire barely features. On its 5×3 grid sit 30 paylines: a classic line game of five reels by three rows. A spin can be priced at €0.30 or as high as €90, covering small and large budgets alike.

Across the 30 paylines, matching symbols must sit together on a line, beginning at the first reel. Only the highest hit per line pays, but several lines can pay on the same spin. The wild fills missing spots on a line, while scatters count anywhere on the grid and are not tied to lines.

Mystery reveal: when mystery symbols land, they all turn into the same random symbol once the reels stop. With several of them on neighbouring reels, that can complete hits on multiple lines in one go.

Free spins with multiplier: enough scatters open the bonus round. A multiplier applies to wins during the round, which makes the free spins the part of the game where the bigger amounts come from.

Wild: the wild completes lines and, together with transformed mystery symbols, can close whole runs across the reels.

Since the multiplier in Demon only kicks in during the free spins, other inferno slots with free spins and how they are triggered make the closest comparison.

RTP 94.51%, lower than 81% of the 400 Inferno slots. Background: how RTP works on a slot. Volatility High, like 66 of the 114 slots in the Demon theme. Background: what slot volatility means. Max win 2,500× (€225,000 at the highest stake). Background: what max win means on a slot.

With just 94.51% returned, Demon falls into the bottom fifth of the Inferno slots, clearly under the median.

Its 2,500× biggest prize also falls short of the highest values; around 30% of the slots sit lower. The high volatility here comes mainly from mystery symbols combined with the free spins multiplier.

Play'n GO gives casinos a band for the RTP of Demon, and the inferno slots ranked by RTP show how far the game's highest value is from the rest of the field.

If you like Demon: more slots with demons, identical high volatility along with a comparable RTP.
