Cultist Base Game
Testing Cultist by Popiplay was fun. The RTP is rather high at 97.14%, and the volatility is also high. Players will have fun interacting with the 5x5 grid offering 15 paylines. The minimum bet is €0.20, while the maximum is €24.00. The graphics are nice, and differentiation between symbols is easy to make. There are five low-paying symbols: 10, J, Q, K, A that pay from 0.15x to 1x your bet. Monster symbols, on the high-paying end, pay from 1x to 12x. The smaller payouts, however, will not disappoint due to the Wild Multiplier feature, substituting for all symbols except Scatters, able to boost line wins up to 10x.
The base game has a slick feel to it, with the symbols and pay structure making it easy to follow along. You can't worry about smaller payouts here since the Wild Multipliers will help you in gathering bigger line wins.
Cultist Slot Features
Wild Multipliers
These pop into view with wild multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x to substitute and amplify any win except for Scatters.
Free Spins with Respin Feature
Once you hit 3 Scatters, the Free Spins kick in with an empty 5x5 grid, where each row starts at a 1x multiplier. With every spin, Tentacle symbols add or multiply row values; every time they do so, spins reset to 3 and thus extend the round. The round ends with three "dead" spins and tallies up your total multiplier.
- Blue Tentacle: Adds values to one row
- Green Tentacle: Adds to all reels
- Purple Tentacle: Multiplies one reel
- Red Tentacle: Multiplies all reels
Scatter Symbols
These trigger the Free Spins with 3 Scatters and a shot at grid expansion via the Opening Reel symbol.
Opening Reel
This symbol can expand the grid up to 5x7, adding one reel to the left and right during the bonus.
Buy Feature (125x Bet)
To skip to the bonus round, one has to pay the price in the form of 125x of one's current bet.

Fun Fact
In Cultist, the Tentacle symbols draw inspiration from octopus anatomy. Octopuses are well-recognized for their exceptional adaptability and intelligence. They can manipulate their environment using their tentacles. In-game, the Tentacles are nothing but mighty multipliers, adding a new level of uniqueness to the gameplay in each different-colored feature representation. They are so essential towards boosting up your winnings, adding to the dark-and-mystic atmosphere of the game.
