Viy from Five Men Games
For all you horror fans out there who are interested in an alternative to overused themes like zombies, glamourish vampires, and haunted houses, we have cherry-picked a slot from the Czech studio Five Men Games that is based on Eastern European demonological folklore vividly described in the eponymous novel by Nikolai Gogol. The story tells about a group of students led by the one named Khoma Brut who encounter a demon named Viy and a witch during summer vacation.
Here, Khoma is a substituting Wild symbol that boosts the winnings by replacing other symbols, except the Scatter which is the Viy itself. The demon is a greenish many-faced creature from the other world that triggers from 10 to 25 Free Spins with additional Re-Spins and the multiplier of 5 times the total stake. The bat is another special “overlay” symbol capable of covering entire reels during free games. The slot has 20 paylines and a maximum payout of 1,000 times the total stake which could reach up to 200,000 mBTC.
Cyber Wolf from Endorphina
Now, our trip across the best slots of the week takes you from old Europe and its folkish ambiance to the modern city riddled with skyscrapers and run by half-wolf, half-machine. When the night falls, it howls at the yellow moon and then goes hunting for evildoers in the concrete jungle.
Cyber Wolf is another high-quality slot from Endorphina that combines good visuals, a host of special features, an RTP of 96%, and handsome payouts with the maximum one amounting to 5,000 times the total stake. The betting range of 0.1 mBTC to 100 mBTC is suitable for players with any level of risk tolerance. The slot has a familiar 5x3 layout and 10 betways. Cyber Wolf has a standard set of special features and symbols: the substituting Paw Wild is accompanied by the Moon Scatter with its Free Spins. Those who want to increase the payout could try the Gamble feature.
Times of Egypt: Pharaoh’s Reign from Spinomenal
In this industry, one thing is for sure - there would never be enough slots dedicated to Ancient Egypt. It’s an all-time favorite theme loved by everyone because of its unique mysticism and aesthetics. In our opinion, Spinomenal created one of the best Egypt-themed slots of late and called it Times of Egypt: Pharaoh’s Reign.
The developers did a great job with the visuals and music that immerse you in a mesmerizing atmosphere of an ancient temple or a pyramid. The slot allows betting as little as 0.05 mBTC on a line with the prospect of winning 2,000 times the total stake. Bet more - up to 50 mBTC - and you could dig deeper into the pharaoh’s treasures. Even though the slot has only 5 paylines, it has proven to be quite generous. Times of Egypt: Pharaoh’s Reign has the usual set of special symbols - the Wild and the Scatter - that substitute other symbols and trigger up to 20 Free Spins with Re-Spins respectively.
Our verdict
Viy from Five Men Games is definitely this week’s favorite as it merges the exotic theme with high payouts. Times of Egypt: Pharaoh’s Reign has solid visuals and a good betting range but lacks special features. Cyber Wolf is very cool both visually and content-wise.
