Demon Beats Slot Review

About the Game

Demon Beats is a 5-reel, 4-row video slot from NetEnt featuring the Avalanche™ mechanic, Wild symbols, Colossal symbols, multipliers, a Battle feature, Free Spins, Super Free Spins, and the Elevate feature.
The game is played with up to 178 fixed connected bet lines and various bet size options. A win is awarded when identical symbols land consecutively – starting from the leftmost reel and moving to the right – without gaps between them across the rows or reels. Only the longest winning combination per bet line pays out.
Line wins are calculated by multiplying the value shown in the paytable by all applicable multipliers. Symbol payout values ​​in the paytable are dynamic and change based on the selected bet size.

Any win triggers the Avalanche™ feature. Symbols forming part of winning combinations disappear, making way for a new “avalanche” of symbols. Once all positions are filled, wins are recalculated. Avalanches continue until no further winning combinations are formed.

Game Rules

Wild Symbol

Wild symbols that land on the reels expand to fill the entire reel. If a Colossal symbol is present on that reel, it transforms into a Colossal Wild.

When a Wild symbol expands over another Wild symbol, it displays a x2 multiplier. Each additional Wild symbol expanding over a Wild with a multiplier increases that multiplier by +1 (up to x10).

If multiple multiplier Wild symbols contribute to a winning combination, their values ​​are summed and multiplied by the multiplier displayed below the reels. If only one multiplier Wild symbol is involved in a combination, its value is multiplied directly by the multiplier displayed below the reels.

Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except Bonus, Super Bonus, and Battle symbols. When Wild symbols are used for substitution, the longest possible winning combination formed along a payline is paid out in accordance with the paytable.

Colossal Symbols

Colossal symbols are 2×2 in size and can land randomly anywhere on the reels, except in positions occupied by Bonus, Super Bonus, other Colossal, or Battle symbols.

Colossal symbols that are part of a winning combination explode along with all matching symbols on the reels.
If the surface beneath the Colossal symbols is uneven, they will destroy the symbols underneath until the surface is leveled.
If a spin results in no win, all Colossal symbols and their matching counterparts explode. Colossal Wild symbols also vanish; however, regular Wild symbols remain on the reels, along with the symbols that appear most frequently.

Multipliers

In the base game, multipliers are displayed below the reels: x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, and x32.

The game starts with the minimum multiplier; it increases to the next value upon a win or when the Colossal Symbol Explosion feature triggers.
If a spin results in no win and there are no Colossal symbols or Battle symbols on the reels, the multiplier resets to x1.
During free spins, the multiplier values ​​change to x1, x4, x16, x64, x256, and x1024; these also reset to x1 if there are no wins.

During the Super Free Spins mode, multipliers increase sequentially (x1, x4, x16, x64, x256, x1024) after wins or explosions and never reset.

Multiplier Upgrade

The “Multiplier Upgrade” feature activates randomly after the first spin in the base game and replaces the base game multipliers with the multipliers used in the Free Spins mode.

Battle Feature

The Battle Feature activates during the base game, Free Spins, or Super Free Spins.

It triggers if a Battle symbol lands on the reels following a non-winning spin, provided there are no Colossal symbols on the grid.
During this feature, up to 3 Wild symbols or up to 2 Colossal symbols land on the reels, covering the Battle symbol (either by landing directly over it or through Wild symbol expansion). The feature ends once the Battle symbol is completely covered.

Free Spins and Super Free Spins

In the base game, landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Bonus symbols awards 8, 10, 12, or 14 free spins. If at least one of the Bonus symbols is a Super Bonus symbol, Super Free Spins mode is activated.

During both standard free spins and Super Free Spins mode, Colossal symbols, as well as Wild and Battle symbols, may appear on the reels at any time.

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Bonus symbols during free spins or Super Free Spins adds 3, 4, 5, or 6 additional spins. If a transition from standard free spins to Super Free Spins occurs, landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Bonus symbols awards 8, 10, 12, or 14 additional spins, respectively.

Free spins and Super Free Spins are played at the same bet level as the round in which they were triggered. Upon completion of the free spins or Super Free Spins, the total winnings from them are added to the winnings from the triggering round, and the game then returns to that round.

Payout Mechanics

A win is awarded when identical symbols land in any position on three or more adjacent reels (starting from the leftmost reel and moving to the right, without gaps). Only the longest combination of identical symbols is paid out.
In the event of a malfunction, all payouts and game actions are voided. For further information, please refer to the “Unfinished Game Rounds” section.
