Dark Summoning Slot Information

Dark Summoning has five reels surrounded by stones. On both sides of the reels stand evil characters. To the left is a skeleton wearing a cape, and to the right stands a devilish character with horns on the forehead. He has no clothes on his muscular overbody but is wearing baggy pants, and a long tail sticks out from his back. There is no music, only creepy, mysterious sounds that increase the spooky feeling- To make a win, the player needs to land at least three symbols of the same type on any of the paylines. The game is available on mobile phones and other digital platforms.

Looking at the paytable, we find the lower-paying symbols 10, J, Q, K, and A. Making a win containing 5 of them pays 1X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are bloody scissors, a fly, a bird, a pyramid with an eye, and a goat head with red burning eyes. They will award between 2.5X and 10X the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The Wild Symbol substitutes all mentioned symbols and awards 30X the bet for a win containing 5 Wilds. The Unholy Scatter Symbol can trigger the Hellfire Free Spins and the even better Salvation Free Spins in cooperation with the Order Scatter Symbol.

What features are available in the slot Dark Summoning?

The features are Super Cascade, Wild Multipliers, Will of the Order, Unholy Summoning, Trial by Hellfire Free Spins, Rise to Salvation Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

A win of three symbols in the Free Spins.

Super Cascade

Upon achieving a winning combination, all winning symbols are eliminated from the grid after all current wins have been granted. Subsequently, new symbols cascade in to fill the void, offering the potential for fresh wins and additional cascades.

Wild Multipliers

Wild symbols act as substitutes for all other symbols in the paytable. There are two Wild variants: a blue Wild, featured in the base game and the Rise to Salvation bonus, and a red Wild, exclusive to the Trial by Hellfire bonus.

Both variants share identical functionality. Wild symbols may bear multiplier values of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, or 100x. Wild symbols do not carry multipliers in the Rise to Salvation bonus. In cases of multiple multipliers within the same winning combination, their values are aggregated before application to the win.

Will of the Order

Upon landing, an Order scatter symbol replaces itself and 1-9 other symbols with Wild symbols, potentially including multipliers. If multiple Order symbols land simultaneously, Will of the Order triggers for each individual symbol.

Unholy Summoning

The Unholy Scatter Symbol is a cross turned upside-down. Landing a symbol alongside a winning combination will collect it at the top-right corner of the grid for the round's duration. If three Unholy symbols land simultaneously, they are instantly collected, regardless of other winning combinations.

Trial by Hellfire Free Spins

Collect three Unholy scatter symbols in a single round during the base game to initiate this bonus feature, providing 10 free spins. During the bonus, Hellfire marks all winning positions. When an Unholy symbol lands, it triggers the Fires of Hell sequence, replacing itself and all symbols marked by Hellfire with Wild symbols, possibly with multipliers. The Fires of Hell sequence persists until the next cascade, during which new wins do not create additional Hellfire.

Rise to Salvation Free Spins

10 Rise to Salvation Free Spins are triggered by collecting 3 Unholy scatter symbols, while an Order symbol is present during the collecting of the third Unholy symbol. During the bonus, the symbol drop and cascade direction are reversed, with symbols moving upwards. This bonus introduces special Lost Soul symbols, which become persistent until the bonus concludes or they Ascend.

Lost Souls ascend when reaching the top row, and two variants exist: Global Multiplier Lost Soul and Cash Prize Lost Soul. The Global Multiplier Lost Soul adds a multiplier value to a global multiplier above the reels, while the Cash Prize Lost Soul awards various cash prizes multiplied by the global multiplier. If three consecutive non-winning spins occur, 3-5 random Low- or High-paying symbols are removed on the third spin.

Bonus Buy

You can purchase the Trial By Hellfire Free Spins for 130X the bet or the Rise to Salvation Free Spins for 250X the bet. You can also pay 3X the bet for the Bonus Hunt Feature Spin, which makes it five times more likely to trigger a bonus game.

Dark Summoning Slot Conclusion

Dark Summoning is an intense casino slot in a world of dark arts and supernatural forces. The haunting visuals of evil characters, mysterious sounds, and a theme centered around satanic worship accentuate the game's eerie atmosphere. With its unconventional theme, Dark Summoning's spine-tingling experience is made for people who are attracted to occult themes. One thing is for sure: highly religious people should stay away from the game. The thematic elements are further enhanced by symbols such as bloody scissors and a goat head with burning red eyes.

The Super Cascade is a feature allowing the player to make consecutive wins. It can be found in many games and is often also referred to as tumbling wins. However, if you trigger the Rise to Salvation Free Spins, the reels behave differently, and new symbols are added from the bottom instead of from the top when winning symbols are removed. The feature also contains special Lost Soul Symbols that will help you boost your winnings whenever they reach the top of the reels.

To trigger the Rise to Salvation Free Spins, you need to land both Unholy and Order Symbols. However, just one Order Symbol will activate the Will of the Order feature, which will give you up to 9 Wild Symbols on random positions.

For another game with a really dark theme, check out Print Studio's nerve-wrecking Darkness, where the Dark Ritual Bonus Game can award 20,000X the bet. If it gets too scary, but you still want some spookiness, don't miss Pragmatic Play's Infective Wild, which has some spooky characters but is far from devil-worshiping.

Dark Summoning by Hacksaw Gaming is not for the faint-hearted but for those daring enough to take a seat on a demonic journey.
