Octoplay released 5 Rings of Darkness on August 9 2024. The slot is set in a forbidden world of the occult. 

This review will reveal the game setup and bonus features.

Game Setup

When you open the game, you will notice 5 reels and 6 rows. Winning combinations are landed as scatter pays on an RTP of 96.76%.

For a shot at the maximum win, you must place a minimum bet of 0.10 or a maximum bet of 150. The maximum win of 6666x is played on low/medium volatility. 

The Double Chance feature increases the stake by 30% which doubles the chance of unlocking the feature once activated. 

Winning combinations are made up of five rings of colours blue, light blue, green, purple, and gold and 4 character symbols. If you land 8 matching symbols, your reward is 0.2x to 5 x while landing 12 or more matching symbols rewards 2x to 50x. 

While there are no wilds, the video slot has the cascading feature which removes winning symbols and floats new ones onto the grid to replace them. 

Bonus Features

Multipliers of darkness

There are 5 Multiplier Zones located beneath the regular symbols. If any symbols above the Multiplier Zones are part of a winning combination, they activate the multipliers which are applied to the winning combinations that activated them. 

You can activate multiplier values of 1x to 20x which increase to the next level whenever they are activated. 

Multiplier activation 

During spins, there is a chance that each Multipliers of Darkness increases up to 3 levels before any symbols land.

Free spins

If you land 3 scatters, you receive 10 Free Spins. If you land more than 3 scatters, you receive 5 extra Free Spins to a maximum of 25 for each scatter above 3. 

If you land 3 or more scatters extra, they trigger Free Spins the same way as they did initially. 

The centre reel reveals a new Multiplier of Darkness made up of the sum of the other 5 Multipliers of Darkness. It applies to all winning combinations above it and the multiplier values persist until the round ends. 

Buy free spins

You can skip right to the Free Spins round by placing 150x the bet played at an RTP of 95.81%.

Verdict 

Despite having few bonus features, 5 Rings of Darkness makes up for it with its unique Multiplier Zones which reward winning combinations above them.
