The game is set in a dark creepy place with demon eyes lurk on both sides of the grid. The latter is in the centre with demon eyes meter on top of it. The symbols include 3D diamond-shaped one in 4 main colours and 4 orbs snatched by demon claws. On both sides of the grid frame are attached two demons. There is a green and purple one on the right and a blue and red demon on the left.

The soundtrack is adventurous, not too obtrusive and it keeps the action going. Each landing of the gold W wild creates a vortex that consumes symbols. The gameplay is exciting and thrilling. The soundtrack and images are original and very suitable for the theme. During free spins, you will hear demon laughs with each grid expanding.

The Demon Code Gameplay

The symbols include 4 at the lower end with colours that match the demons that stick to the reel frame. There are also 4 orbs held by demon claws each at the high end. At the low end are 4 diamonds in 3D shape. These are the green, blue, red and purple that have a payout of 10x bet for clusters of 25 or more matching symbols. The premiums are green, blue, purple and red orbs in demon’s claws. Hitting clusters of 25+ symbol of these pay between 20 and 50 times your bet depending on the value.

The blazing W is the wild symbol that substitutes for all regular other symbols. You can’t see it in an initial cascade, but the wild can be revealed by a devil’s eye scatter.

To get a win you need clusters of 4 to 25+ symbols of a kind connected vertically or horizontally. At the start of a spin sequence, 36 symbols will land on the reels. Part of the gameplay is the cascading symbol mechanic, which triggers on the first win. All winning symbols disappear. They free spaces for new symbols to drop down and take their places coming from above. The winning cascades go on as long as you continue to get wins. They end once you fail to do so.

Additionally, there is a win multiplier and its value is displayed on the top left of the grid. It starts at x1 and each winning cascade increases it by x1 or triggers the Enter the Void feature. The multiplier is unlimited but resets at the start of a new spin in the base game.

The Demon Code Features / Bonuses

The Enter the Void feature triggers whenever the winning cascades end and you have an unused wild on the grid. Then, the wild will set a vortex and remove all symbols located next to it and itself too. As a result of this, new symbols will fill the empty positions cascading from above. This has the potential to create new winning combinations. Thus, you will get more wins and the increase of the multiplier as well.

Keep an eye for the devils attached to both sides of the reel frames. They are waiting for the opportunity to unleash their Demon Powers and create chaos on the reels. To trigger them, you need to land the corresponding demon talisman after a cascade. Only one demon talisman can land per tumble. The talismans and the features that they unlock are:

Green Demon – Ancient Alchemy feature: The talisman drops into the fire pit below the reels. It unleashes an energy explosion. The latter creates a random number of mystery symbols on the reels, all of which will reveal a common symbol. This is highly likely to result in a win and start a cascading reaction.

Blue Demon – Cryptic Chaos feature: The talisman jumps into the fire pit. It chooses a random paying symbol for a scattered pay. This symbol doesn’t need to be in cluster formation. It will pay according to the number of scatters no matter where they are on the grid.

Purple Demon – Dark design feature: The talisman again drops onto the fire pit. It creates a random number of wild symbols on the reels. This helps you create more winning combinations.

Red Demon – Fiery fusion feature: The talisman jumps into the fiery pit. Then, an energy burst adds a 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5 mega symbol on a random place. This gives you the opportunity for a bigger win.

The cascades will continue as you get more winning clusters. The 4 Demon powers do no increase the win multiplier. Each of the demons will return to its place on the side of the reel frame after its modifier have been applied.

Lastly, The Demon Code has a bonus game as well. Each landing of the Devil’s Eye scatter lights up the Demon Code meter on the top of the grid. If you collect 4 scatters in the same spin sequence, you will trigger 10 Free Spins. Every additional scatter apart from the 4 adds 2 extra free spins to the tally.

The good news is that the current win multiplier from the base game will be carried over to free spins. It will be applied to them. Moreover, the win multiplier doesn’t reset between free spins. It can only increase without limits. You can activate the Demon Summon and Enter The Void features at any time during the free games.

There is a lot more to the free games, apart from this. At the start of the free rounds, the grid increase by 1 row to 6 reels and 7 rows (6×7). If you retrigger free spins by collecting 4 scatters on the same spin sequence, this increases the grid with another row. It becomes 6×8 and gives you 2 more free spins.

The maximum that the grid can reach from retriggers is a 6×12 size. You will also benefit from a one-time reward. The multiplier will increase by x10 once you get the fully expanded 6×12 grid. In such a case, the Demon Code meter will be removed. Every scatter you land from that moment on will award you +2 extra free spins without limits. The free games end when you run out of rounds or you have won the maximal achievable amount of 250,000 credits.

The Conclusion

The Demon Code has a unique theme and is filled with boosters. It ensures thrilling rounds and up to 12,500 times your stake per spin. It is generously packed with bonus features, but keep in mind that is a highly volatile slot. If you like games such as Dark Vortex by Yggdrasil, you will have fun with this one too.
