Bonus Rounds in Dark Summoning
Super Cascades
When you land a win, all winning symbols are removed from the grid, and new symbols cascade down into their place—potentially creating consecutive wins in one single spin.
Wild Multipliers
There are two types of wild symbols in the Dark Summoning slot: blue wilds and red wilds. Blue wilds can appear in both the base game and the Rise to Salvation feature, while red wilds are only found in the Trial by Hellfire bonus round - but both types work the same and can come with multiplier values ranging anywhere between x2 to x100.
Will of the Order
When you land an Order symbol, it can replace itself - plus up to 9 other symbols with wilds, which could even come with multipliers.
Unholy Summoning
If you land an Unholy Symbol at the same time as a winning spin, it will be collected in the corner of the grid and saved for the round. If you manage to land 3 Unholy symbols at the same time, they'll be collected even if you don't land a win - and trigger various special features.
Trial by Hellfire Bonus
If you collect 3 Unholy symbols in the base game, you'll trigger the Trial by Hellfire bonus and get 10 free spins. During this round, all winning positions on the grid will be marked with Hellfire, and when an Unholy symbol lands, it will activate the Fires of Hell sequence, which changes all the Unholy symbols and any Hellfire-marked symbols into wilds - potentially with multipliers. Once the sequence ends, Hellfire marks will be removed, and the sequence will go on until the next cascade.
Rise to Salvation Bonus
If you collect 3 Unholy symbols in the base game along with an Order symbol, you'll trigger the Rise to Salvation bonus and get 10 free spins. Here, the cascading mechanic will flip, and symbols fall up instead of down. This feature also introduces Lost Soul symbols, which stay on the grid until they either fall off the top or the round ends. As the cascades move them upward, Lost Souls will fill the empty spaces left by removed symbols - and once a Lost Soul reaches the top row, it will be taken off the grid.
There are two types of Lost Soul symbols:
Global Multiplier Lost Souls: When they move up, they add a 2x to 100x multiplier to the global multiplier. Cash Prize Lost Souls: These award a cash prize of 10x to 666x your bet.
If you get 3 non-winning spins in a row during this feature, 3 to 5 random symbols will be removed on the third spin.
