Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has released Demi Gods VII Ultra Mode as part of its hugely successful Demi Gods Series.
Demi Gods VII is a 5×4 reel 50 lines video slot that takes players on an epic journey through the realm of the immortals, where financial fate rests with the gods. A powerful, surging soundtrack amplifies the gameplay and makes for a thunderous reels experience.
Persephone, Hephaestus, Nyx and Zeus each guard their own unique feature, offering players a thrilling blend of mythology, artistry, and innovation. Wilds count for all symbols except the free spins symbol and five on a line pay x300 the bet. In the base game, a win multiplier may appear while the reels are spinning to multiply the win by either x2 or 3x.
Three or more full-sized Scattered free spins symbols will initiate the Free Spins feature and each time this occurs, players will move to the next Free Spins feature marked by the four gods. Landing the Ultra Scatter Free Spins to complement the Free Spins boosts each of the Free Spin features.
The journey begins with Persephone for Guaranteed Wins where any spin resulting in a loss means a respin triggers which guarantees a win.
Another three Scattered free spins takes players to meet Hephaestus for Sticky Wilds. Here while the reels are spinning, a Sticky Wild symbol can appear and will stay on the reels until the end of the free spins round. In Ultra Mode each respin adds a multiplier, starting at x2 and increasing with every additional respin in the same sequence. The multiplier resets after a winning spin.
Nyx is next for Synced Reels for every spin, two random reels on the slot will be synced and identical to one another. If Ultra Mode is active, then three random reels will be synced rather than two.
The end of the Free Spins road is Zeus and Stacked Wilds Respin. During this round, each time a stacked Wild symbol fully lands on a reel, a respin is triggered. Ultra Mode means that there will be guaranteed stacked Wilds on every spin across reels one to five. Two stacked Wilds landing fully trigger a respin.
