While Halloween is a ways off, we are starting to see instant slots developers release titles with dark themes and terrifying environments. One of these recent horror slot releases that grabbed our attention was The Crypto by the intriguing Nolimit City studio.

Besides its creepy aesthetic, what brought it to our attention is that it released hot. Rather than players waiting for days to claim sizeable rewards, eleven players claimed the maximum payout of 27,000x their bet on the first day!

They celebrated the fantastic launch day by posting the following on their X.com, formerly Twitter.com, profile.

Join us this week as we delve into what The Crypto slot and several other terrifying instant games have to offer you this weekend!

✓Are You Courageous Enough to Party in ‘The Crypt’?

The Crypt video slot is the latest casino game from Nolimit City, a design studio that has become increasingly known for its brutal and macabre releases. The slot machine features a hard-rocking soundtrack and reels filled with corpse-like versions of some of the music industry's most recognisable musos, including Elvis, Cobain, and Lemmy.

Head of Product at Nolimit City, Per Lindheimer, said:

Quote

"The progressive cascading bonus mode, as well as the classic xWays and xNudge, are a sweet combination, reminiscent of one of my favourite games - Dragon Tribe! Now throw a horde of undead rockstars, and you get the chaos that is The Crypt.“

• ·Provider: Nolimit City
• Theme: Undead, Rockstars
• Max Win: 27,000x
• Paylines: Up to 45,656
• Stake: 0.20 – 100.00
• RTP: 96.05%

Be warned, this video slot is not for the faint of heart but not because of the theme. Nolimit City bills The Crypt as an “extremely” volatile slot, and this comes through when you play. The highest base stake is €100, which can be tripled to €300 by activating the xBet feature, which increases your chances of hitting the Free Spins by 5 times.

The most entertaining part of The Crypt is the Resurrection Spins feature. During these free games, you are treated to an undead rock concert with incredible songs, cascading reels, and boost meters for each zombie rocker, building up to add bonus spins and progressive win multipliers! It’s one helluva wild ride!

During the base game, you will have the xWays feature, which takes the spot it lands on and expands it to up to 3 new matching symbols, assisting you in seeking out winning paylines. Landing multiple xWays at once will see the paylines expand to a maximum of 46,656 ways to win.

There is also the xNudge Wild, featuring the grim reaper himself, which will expand the number of symbol-bearing spots and then fill the entire reel, adding a  win multiplier of up to x6 to the winning paylines it completes.

Nolimit City has pushed the boundaries of high-risk, high-reward with The Crypt. While it is an extremely volatile game with a max bet of €300 and a top reward of 27,000 times your stake, it offers a staggering €8.1 million as its maximum payout!

✓Beware The Dark Magic. It will ‘Devour the Weak’!

In hell, there is no right or wrong. All that matters is who can wield the dark forces to aid them in their search for power and magical rewards. The reels of Devour the Weak are set in the hellish plane and see you sending out waves of infernal beings to do your bidding. Will they be swallowed by the void or return to bearing gifts of up to 10,000 times your stake?

• Provider: Yggdrasil Gaming
• Theme: Demons, Witchcraft
• Max Win: 10,000x
• Paylines: 243 ways
• Stake: 0.10 – 100.00
• RTP: 96.00%

Set to a driving metal soundtrack, the 5x3 reels of the Devour the Weak slot by Yggdrasil will consume spin after spin in its high volatility hunger for imps, demons, and other symbols. The cascading feature will see winning symbols consumed and replaced by new ones to improve the return on winning games.

During the Free Spins feature, you will come face-to-face with your best chance of claiming the demon of greed’s treasure. You can spin your way into the round and play with 10 free spins or buy your way in. If you choose the Buy Feature option, you can receive up to 17 free games, and a progressive win multiplier will be active, increasing your wins by up to 666 times! Nothing in hell comes cheap, and the price of admission will be 666x your current bet!

There is always the option to activate the Golden Bet feature, which increases your wager by 1.5x but adds +1 to the free spins counter and increases the number of hexed symbols on the reels. Hexed symbol variants in the middle three rows during free spins turn into Wild symbols! The right combination of symbols and features can unlock infernal rewards of up to €1,000,000 at max bet!

✓Rise From the Ashes in the ‘Phoenix Graveyard’!

Steel yourself and fight back against the evil claiming your village's soul. The corrupt mayor and his family are oppressing your people thanks to a demonic agreement with the Grim Reaper. All who oppose their will face imminent death, that is, until you learn to wield the power of the Phoenix Graveyard.

• Provider: ELK Studios
• Theme: Grim Reaper
• Max Win: 10,000x
• Paylines: 243 ways
• Stake: 0.20 – 100.00
• RTP: 95.00%

Death stalks the lanes and shadow of the misty village you call home, but calling on the power of the Phoenix could see you become the saviour they need. ELK Studios has filled the reels of the Phoenix Graveyard slot with features that will help you collect rewards of up to 10,000 times your stake.

The slot machine features a unique way of expanding the number of win ways. The Grim Reaper will randomly use his scythe to slice symbols into smaller symbols, creating more ways to win!

Collecting Bonus symbols will trigger the Free Spins feature, where you are awarded up to 10 free games and up to three active Phoenix Wilds. The Wilds will jump to new locations with each spin and receive multipliers equal to the current "win ways".

You will also experience epic battles between life and death as the Phoenix and Reaper battle for dominance when they appear on adjacent reels. Depending on which side wins the battle, Phoenix Wilds or Grim Reaper Multipliers will be doubled in value.

Staring death in the face can have rewards, not just horrors. Should you emerge victorious, you could claim rewards of up to €1 million per spin at the max bet.
