Cultist is a game from Popiplay that we can envisage getting a lot of use around the spookier times of the year (Halloween, of course) but the mechanics mean it is also very interesting for some players as a game to play all year round.
The game transports players to a haunted library where they will see dark magic, a whole lot of secrets as well as eerie creature characters and (slight) scares during the game.
In terms of the mechanics of the game we see 15 different paylines on a 5×7 grid. There is a potentially very large return as players who hit the jackpot can win up to 10,000 x their initial bet. There is also an opening reel that can expand the grid to a bigger layout and there are many other inbuilt features. Like some other Popiplay games, we see things like Wild Multipliers and a Respin Bonus Game that can provide different ways to play and even a potential boost to the winnings. The RTP for Cultist is 96.3% which is above average, especially compared to similar slots within this theme and genre.
Horror-themed slots are one of the most popular genres out there and with Cultist, it is clear that the developers are trying to evoke some of the scarier feelings and we hear that in the soundtrack, too. It has spooky sound effects and eerie music while the player spins the reels, but nothing too intense! We see grimoires, potions, and cultic symbols throughout the game which leave the players in no doubt about the type of game that this is.
Cultist was released in October 2024 but is likely to remain popular and will very likely be played in future Halloween seasons as it appeals to fans of that spookier genre who enjoy a rewarding game.
