Devil's Delight Pokies
Although the Devil’s Delight video pokie is set in Hell, the version of damnation created by Net Ent isn’t very scary at all, in fact there’s a comic Grim Reaper, a heart with wings and a sexy sinner landing across the 5 reels, making it a fun-looking cartoon-style game. Things really start to heat up when the bonus features kick in, with expanding wilds, free spins and multipliers, plus a secondary bonus game that pays out more with higher stakes.
Flames run up the sides of the reels, just to add to the effect that we are in Hell, and in amongst these, the payline indicators reveal that there are 20 lines running from left to right. Players will need matching symbols running across a line on adjacent reels to get a standard win, but they will need to be on an active line, as they have the option to stake a low limit of just 0.01 per spin which just means 1 line out of the 20 will count. Wagering 0.20 activates them all, and this can be raised to a maximum of 125.00, while free Devil’s Delight video pokies can be tried out at many casinos if anyone wants to test it out first.
Playing Devil’s Delight
It’s a packed pay table with 10 different symbols creating the basic winning combinations, plus 3 bonus symbols and a whole different set that are in play during the Sin Spins side game. The lowest value symbols are gravestones marked with the high-card Q, K and A, with the Q being worth just 3, 15 or 30x the line bet when it stops on 3, 4 or 5 reels.

Wild Devil
Middle-value wins come from a skeletal hand throwing dice, the flying heart and a 666, all surrounded by flames, while the top wins in the normal gameplay are created when lines of the cartoon characters found in this version of Hell land on 2 or more connected reels across an active payline.
These fun images include an unhappy looking demon in a cauldron, a little baby devil, a big demon cooking a sausage on the end of a pitchfork, and the sexy female version of the devil holding some playing cards. She’s worth 10x the line bet when stopping on reels 1 and 2, 50x for 3 on a line, 200x for 4, and there’s a big jump to the top award of 4000x win for anyone who sees this character across an entire payline.
The Devil himself is dressed in a pinstripe suit and smoking a fat cigar, looking like some kind of satanic bank manager, which is perhaps quite appropriate these days. He’s a wild symbol, able to substitute for any standard one if that means a winning line can be completed, and although he only appears on the middle 3 reels, he will expand up, down, or both ways to fill all 3 positions on the reel.
Free Spins Round
A fiery 5-pointed pentagram is a scatter symbol that takes gamblers to a bonus round whenever it stops in any 3 or more spots at once. Before these begin however, players need to click on a pentagram to discover how many spins will follow and any multipliers that will be applied to winning during them. The maximum is a 5x multiplier, and any 2 or more pentagrams that appear in a bonus game will retrigger the round.
Soul Meter And Sin Spins
This unique feature starts when the Grim Reaper stops on the middle 3 reels and players will see various characters along with a variety of sins, such as greed and envy. By matching the character to the right sin, real cash prizes are awarded and a Soul Meter begins to fill up. The game software gives players 48 hours to fill this meter, so it doesn’t need to be done all in one session, and once full of 15 souls, the Sin Spins begin.
Although just 10 spins are awarded, the 7 symbols, each representing a sin, can pay out some huge coin values of up to 5000x, and the prizes are based on the average that the player has staked on the game over the last 2 days as they filled the meter.
The Verdict
Devil’s Delight is an outstanding online pokie, only let down slightly because it’s not mobile-optimised. A good bet range, fun design, nice animations and the innovative Sin Spins feature all add up to a game that should be a delight for sinners and saints alike.
We particularly like the way that players have 48 hours to fill the Soul Meter, so even if they are just casually spinning the reels now and then, they still have a chance to trigger the bonus game.
