If all else fails, the devil will send a woman, or at least that’s how the saying goes, and 4ThePlayer has kind of done the same in 4 Deals With The Devil. The game revolves around a seductive redhead in a blood red latex outfit, and she even has devil’s horns and a red tail to boot. The symbols are a mix of goblins, black cats, dice and cherries, and we’re not quite sure what to make of it.
In an unusual twist, you get to commit to a single bonus round of 4 options as the game starts, but you can always change your choice between spins. It’s even possible to win either of the 3 other options via a wheel spin, and the base game comes with sticky wild streak respins with growing wilds. The5,000x potentialis decent, and it remains to be seen how many players will be sucked into the is alluring prospect.
You win as long as matching symbols appear on adjacent reels from left to right, and the premium symbols pay between 3 and 7 x your stake for 6 of a kind. TheDevil Lady Wild symbolsteps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and it can appear insize 1×1, 1×2, 1×3 and 1x4on all reels.
You only need one Devil Lady Wild in view to trigger theDevil Lady Wild Respin feature, and this locks all wilds in view to the reels while expanding them by 1 position in height. You get a new respin with locked wilds as long as you keep landing new wilds, but wilds are removed if they max out with 4 positions in height.
You get to choose between4 different bonus roundsas the game starts, but you can change to a different bonus round at any time between spins. Here’s an overview:
If you land enough scatters to trigger a higher bonus round tier than you’ve chosen, a wheel is spun to possibly award you the higher tier feature. If you land enough scatters to trigger a bonus round below your chosen tier, the wheel also spins to possibly award that bonus round tier. If you don’t win on the wheel spin, no bonus is awarded in that case.
The expanding wilds expand randomly during the feature, and they can fill whole reels. The jumping and expanding wilds also move around randomly per spin. Non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, maypurchase the cool, medium, hot and xtra hot bonus roundsfor30, 50, 100 or 400 x the stake, respectively.
You get to see a few near-miss bonus round teasers in the base game, before we purchase the top-tier xtra hot bonus round close to the 1-minute mark. The feature plays out for the remainder of the 7:22-minute highlights video, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.
We get that 4ThePlayer has a thing for doing stuff differently than most developers, but the whole ‘pick your bonus round upfront system’ seems a bit artificial and unnecessary. It means you have to tie yourself to one feature, while you still stand a chance at triggering other tiers via the bonus wheel. We would’ve preferred simply getting the feature that corresponds to the number of triggering scatters, or getting to choose freely when enough scatters hit.
Anyway, the game itself is not too shabby, and the Devil Wild Respin feature breaks up the base game grind on a regular basis. The pace is decent, and the same can be said about the visuals, although we’re not quite sure what the theme is actually about. Interesting things can happen in the bonus round, not least when the wilds are jumping around, and the5,000x potentialis decent. The95 % RTPis below average though, and it might be a deal-breaker for some.
Pros
Cons
3 Devils Pinball- is a highly unusual release from Crazy Tooth, and it plays out on a 6×4 reels pinball setup with 25 default paylines. The number of rows and win ways doubles via the random pinball feature, and the balls leave wilds in their wake. You get more pinball action in the bonus round, with multiplier bumpers up to x5 and a 2,597x potential.
Charlie Chance XReelz- takes you on a black and white tour into the underworld, and this slapstick follow-up from Play’n Go comes with Xreelz multipliers whenever a wild win hits. The feature is always active in the 3-level roaming wild bonus round, and the max win is a solid 20,000x your stake.
Vikings go to Hell- is a hellish installment in the popular Yggdrasil series, and you can look forward to duking it out with demons in the underworld. You get sticky wild respins in all stages, and defeating the devil himself awards sticky wild multipliers up to x3. The max win is 5,500x your stake.
