The Grim Reaper Slot Review

Oooh, check out this description of The Grim Reaper slot from the studio, Quickspin: 👀

“The Grim Reaper moves in the stillness between heartbeats. He walks the line between worlds, cloaked in shadow, bound by duty; never resting, never wavering. His scythe doesn’t rust. His resolve doesn’t falter. Every soul is a promise. Every name, a whisper in the dark. đŸ˜±

“He doesn’t chase. He waits. He watches. And when the time comes, he reaps. This is his ritual, his eternal rhythm: harvest, rise, repeat.”

I do like me a spooky-themed đŸ‘» game, especially as (at the time of writing this) Halloween is just around the corner.

Gameplay

A graveyard is the setting where you’ll find a traditional 5x3 grid. It’s all mist and haunting music, with Bells, Hourglasses, Potion Bottles, Crucifixes, and Ghosts adorning the reels.

The game looks decent on a mobile phone – the colorful symbols pop against the monotone of the background, which helps. Look, this isn’t a game designed to Pragmatic levels, but let’s not nitpick; it gets the job done.

The question is: will we get a fright when we see the stats? Be brave, dear player
 let’s find out. There are 10 paylines, the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 96.10%, and the volatility rate is medium to high. The max multiplier is 5,360x, and the max win is $134,000. You’ll need to bet with fiat currency.

The Wild symbol replaces all others save for Bonus/Scatter symbols. Landing 5 Wilds pays 150x, while 4 Wilds pay 15x.

The Soul symbol is a regular paying symbol that can be captured by a Wild during the Soul Collection minigame. Souls have different multiplier values, linked to the size of the symbol.

Multipliers could be 1x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, or 25x.

Features

SOUL RE-SPINS:

This feature kicks off when a Wild and a Soul symbol hit simultaneously. These symbols will lock in place and the other symbols will spin. Any new Wilds or Souls will lock in place, too, and this cycle continues until no more new Souls hit.

At this point, the Soul Collection starts. It does so randomly in the base game, but it always activates during Free Spins.

SOUL COLLECTION:

The Wild symbol acts as a Reaper and collects all of the visible Souls (along with their multiplier values) when both of these symbol types land simultaneously. This action adds their value to the total win.

FREE SPINS:

It takes 3, 4, or 5 Scatters to trigger this round, and you’ll get 7, 8, or 9 spins, respectively. Three Scatters trigger the Gathering feature, 4 Scatters trigger the Raise the Souls feature, while 5 Scatters initiate the Reaper Harvest.

You’ll notice during Free Spins that there’s a meter present; this collects Wilds. Once you collect 6 or 12 Wilds, an extra spin is gifted to you.

The Gathering: Landing a Wild and a Soul symbol guarantees the Soul Re-spin. Collecting 6 Wilds triggers Raise the Souls and awards one more spin. Collecting 12 Wilds takes you to the Reaper Harvest and awards one more spin.

Raise the Souls: Landing a Wild (or more than one) without a Soul replaces a random symbol with a Soul. Collect 6 extra Wilds to get to the Reaper Harvest and you’ll gain an extra spin.

Reaper Harvest: Wilds become sticky for the duration of the round.

ANTE BET:

Increase each bet by 2x and you’ll be more likely to land Souls. Your chances of triggering Soul Collection go up by 221%, and your chances of initiating Soul Re-spins go up by 228%. The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is extended to 96.37%.

BUY BONUS:

Pay 45x for The Gathering, 100x for Raise the Souls, or 250x for Reaper Harvest.

Performance

I had no issues playing this game on multiple devices or when I switched browsers.

Maximum Win

Betting starts at $0.10 and is capped at $25. The max multiplier is 5,360x, and the max win is $134,000.

Conclusion

Finally, we have some crucial info that will affect our assessment. The base game hit rate is 20.84% – it means that 1 in every 5 spins results in a win. Spin 100 times, and 21 or so of those will be winning spins.

The other bit of crucial info is that the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. in the base game is 53.64% while in the Free Spins round it's 42.46% (for an all-round 96.10%).

Playing this game without using the Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. is not advisable, as the transformation in RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is substantial, and it would be crazy to attempt to grind away in the base game.

The 45x Buy Bonus offers exceptional value (high-rollers take note), and the 250x one represents exceptional value IF probability estimates hold.

This game seems suited to short-term/high-risk players, but will also suit medium-term/moderate-risk gamblers. Long-term/low-risk players should rather avoid The Grim Reaper slot.
