Devour-The-Weak - Winport Casino

It’s no secret that Yggdrasil has a knack for creating solid underworld slots, and Devour The Weak adds another one to the pile in that regard. The pits of hell look like the inside of a volcano, and the reels are filled with rather nasty looking demon creatures. They fly around like ghosts on occasions as well, and the heavy metal soundtrack creates a headbanging atmosphere that a certain crowd will probably enjoy.
The “weak” symbols are devoured in this game, which is what the title alludes to, as equal and lower value symbols are removed together with winning symbols. These are then collected to upgrade and increment the win multiplier, and it starts and resets to x6 in the bonus round. You get wild transformations as well, and you can win up to a solid10,000x your stake. We had a good time testing Devour The Weak at least, but it may not be everyone’s cup of tea.
You can turn on theGolden Betbetween any given base game spin, and this will cost you50 % more per spin. The benefit is +1 added to the free spins counter, as well as an increased amount of hexed symbols (more about that below). The premium character symbols pay between 1.5 and 2.5 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Wild symbol pays 2.5x for 5 wilds on a payline as well. Thewild symbolalso steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins.
All winning symbols are removed via theDropdown feature, and new and/or existing symbols will then fill the gaps by dropping down from above. This process repeats for as long as you keep winning. What makes the feature stick out in this game is the fact that also symbols of equal or lower value than the winning symbols are removed.
You will see aMultiplier Trailon the left-hand side, and it can go as high as x666. It starts and resets to x1 between base game spins, however, and all removed symbols add1 pointeach to the Multiplier Counter.

Yggdrasil does the hellish underworld theme well, and they have taken us down to the pits of hell more than a few times in the past already. Devour The Weak is another solid depiction of the place nobody wants to end up, with different mean looking demons on the reels. The title is clever as well, as the weaker symbols do get devoured via the dropdown mechanic. We have seen plenty of multiplier trail installments in Yggdrasil’s DoubleMax series, and it’s a bit surprising that they didn’t make this into another installment in that range.
Perhaps they wanted Devour The Weak to be a standalone game, and we don’t mind really, as the multiplier trail system is still exciting and potentially highly lucrative. The multiplier can increment up to solid numbers in all stages, and not least in the bonus round. It still resets between free spins though, unlike the DoubleMax system, and the 10,000x potential is not up there with the best DoubleMax installments. Still, a solid enough max win for a volatile game, and we think most players will enjoy what Yggdrasil has thrown together in Devour The Weak.
