Angels & Demons

The confrontation between Heaven and Hell has always been popular in pop culture, and the iGaming world is also no exception. Now, studio Big Wave Gaming once again brings up the eternal topic with its new Angles and Demons slot, offering players to choose their sides in the fierce battle for rule and riches.

Big Wave Gaming has mapped the showdown between the divine forces in the design. We have a screen split in half, showcasing both Heaven on the right and Hell on the left, and there are different symbols of angels and demons appearing on the reels. That’s a really exciting idea, but however, poorly executed. The graphics look kinda dated, and the game strongly lacks animations. Plus, the developers surely could have come up with a better-fitting soundtrack.

Anyway, the actions take place across a standard 5-reel, 3-row layout, producing 30 ways to play on each spin. Symbols create winning combinations when at least 3 of the same kind land adjacently on the reels starting from the leftmost. They are classic A-9 card ranks that make up the lower symbol collection, and roses, ravens, keys, pigeons, and horses, which are the premiums.

The Angels and Demons slot is compatible with any device, and bets from £0.3 to £90 are accepted, which would appeal to most. The volatility is in the medium range, and the default RTP is decent at 96.27%, so wins should occur fairly often. However, two other payback settings are available as well, namely 94% and 92.27%, so remember to check the rules carefully before depositing. Finally, the max win is capped at 3,000x the bet, which isn’t really a deal-breaking amount, but it actually matches the level of risk involved.

Angels and Demons Slot Features

There are four different Wild symbols, two angels, and two demons. Angel Wilds can appear only on the three middle reels. On any spin, a random number of extra angel Wilds can be added. Extra Wilds can overlap Scatter symbols, and in such a case, they will substitute for both regular symbols and Scatters.

Demon Wilds are more interesting though. The first one is also available only on reels 2, 3, and 4, but it always expands to cover them entirely. Then, a respin proceeds, and if additional Wilds appear, they also expand, and respins continue.

The next demon Wild can appear only on reel 5. It always lands stacked on the reels, either fully or partially visible. If a full stack contributes to a win, that win may be multiplied by either 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x.

Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols on consecutive reels from left to right awards access to the bonus. When a required combination appears, players are given a choice between the Heaven and the Hell features, explained below.

Heaven Feature (low variance) – players receive an unlimited number of free spins, during which extra angel Wilds and expanding demon Wilds are removed, and Scatter symbols are replaced by amethysts.

The gems display random bet multiplier values up to 10x, and whenever they land in view, they are paid instantly. The more spins you play, the more regular angel Wilds are added, and the feature ends when 3 Wild symbols appear simultaneously.

Hell Feature (high variance) – 5 free spins are given, where only premium symbols and stacked demon wilds on reel 5 are available. On each spin, a random number of expanded Wilds can be added to the reels.

When the Hell free spins are complete, players are offered to gamble their winnings for a chance to increase the total payout. If you win, it will be tripled. If you lose, however, the total free spins win will be halved.

Review Summary

At the end of the day, Angles and Demons is a fun slot, with plenty of extras and bonus features to keep players hooked onto their screens. The design might leave much to be desired, but everything else seems to be fine, so we can say Angels and Demons is actually worth giving it a spin or two.
