Lil Devil Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Overview

With 6 reels and 4,096 ways to win, this devilish slot from Asutralian studio BTG is based on a song by classic UK rock band The Cult. Packed with innovative bonus features and the brand new Heartstopper enhanced free spins, this slot has a top prize of 91.300x and high volatility with an RTP of 96.43%.

Lil Devil Graphics & Theme

The game features the kind of vibrant graphics that we’ve come to expect from Big Time Gaming, and it has a fantastic soundtrack.

BTG has a habit of creating quirky slots based on classic left field songs like Danger, High Voltage and the Final Countdown. This time around they’ve opted for a little known song by cult Brit rockers The Cult. Powered by the chugging guitar of Billy Duffy and the powerful voice of Ian Astbury, the Yorkshire based band moved effortlessly from post punk to hard rock creating Goth on the way and some of the best songs of the 80s including Rain, She Sells Sanctuary and Fire Woman. When the band split up, Ian Astbury went on to become the lead singer of the Doors.

But BTG prefers to take you deep into the lyrics so there are lizards in a jar, alligator smiles and a scorpion-human on the reels that sit outside a forlorn shack in a one horse town. This won’t mean a lot if you don’t know the song and you won’t hear it unless you trigger the insanely difficult to land bonus features although it’s worth having a listen to The Cult’s back catalogue of you like a banging tune.

The symbols are rather beautifully done, evoking the spirit of that dusty one horse town but it would have been great to hear more of the song that inspired the game. The sounds are a somewhat eerie and slightly angelic ambient drone and the occasional ching as you win a prize. Try muting the sound and listening to the original Cult classic in the background instead.

Lil Devil RTP (Payout) & Volatility

Both RTP and volatility are on the high side in this slot so you’ll have a good idea of what awaits in the long and short term.

The RTP of 96.43% is above average and refers to the long term payout you can expect from this slot. You can expect an average return of just over £96 for every £100 wagered.

Volatility is a way of assessing how a game pays out in the short term and where you can locate those wins. In Lil Devil you’re looking at high volatility which means you can expect to land some big wins with the Angel and Devil features that can pay out up to 144x your stake when they combine. There are even bigger wins from the 2 free spins features, especially if you can trigger the Heartstopper feature but this proved difficult in our free spins.

Lil Devil Set Up

Setting up this slot to your satisfaction is a breeze, with every menu and command right at your fingertips. The staking options are from £0.10 per spin played over all 4096 ways to win.

Lil Devil is a very simple game to personalise, but you should always take the time to check the paytable intel before you spin so you know the special symbols to look out for.
You won’t miss the wilds in this game - there are two of them, the devil and the angel. The devil wild with her glowing red eyes substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and appears on reels 2 to 5. The angel wild appears stacked - no pun intended - and only appears on the central 2 reels of the 6 reel set. Arrayed in purple and white, this charming symbol arrives with a multiplier between 4x and 12x which boosts your payouts if she appears as part of a winning combo. Land 2 angel wilds with the right combos and you could earn a prize up to 144x.

The rest of the paytable is standard stuff, split between royals and higher paying picture symbols. All prizes pay in multipliers so it's the upper paytable symbols you’re looking out for with the purple heart shaped locket paying 0.5, 1, 2, 5 and 10 times your stake for 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of a kind.

How To Win at Lil Devil Slot

If you’re used to payline slots then any ways pays slots can be a revelation. In some ways this game mechanic puts you as the player in control because you’ll be able to spot every win. There are no more payline patterns to memorise - symbols that land on adjacent reels, however many of them there are, will form winning combos reading from reel 1.

The crucial difference between any ways pays and paylines is that you can expect multiple payouts on a single spin. Unlike payline slots that only pay the highest combo per line, any ways pays slots can payout hundreds or thousands of time - 4,096 of them in this slot. It’s no surprise that Lil Devil offers much higher overall wins than a payline slot, although single line wins are much lower.

There’s one symbol that assumes greater prominence in this type of slot and that’s the wild. Just one wild can land a massive payout when it completes several winning combos, and here there are two - one with a multiplier. No wonder the volatility is high.

Lil Devil Game Rules

• All wins pay left to right
• Scatter wins pay anywhere
• Payouts are multiplied by your stake
• System malfunction voids all pays and plays

Playing Lil Devil Features & Free Spins

When you land three scatters on the reels, you’ll be given the opportunity to choose between two bonus games:

Be My Angel is a bonus where you start with 7 free spins. One symbol is selected to become a wild that turns sticky when it lands anywhere on the second, third, fourth or fifth reels. If an entire reel lands with sticky wilds, you’ll get 3 extra free spins. If this happens on reels two and three, you’ll trigger increasing multipliers which, when added together, can multiply your prize by up to 144x.

Dynamite Lovers is a feature where you start with 12 free spins with cascading reels. Dynamite wilds can appear during this bonus and grant you multipliers, which can then be multiplied against one another. If you land three scatters, you’ll receive 6 more free spins.

Then, there’s the Enhanced bonuses we mentioned earlier. These are triggered when you collect 40 hearts, which are earned whenever you have a spin where just two scatters appear. The enhanced version of Be My Angel features an extra sticky wilds while the enhanced Dynamite Lovers bonus begins with a 5x multiplier instead of a 1x multiplier.

The interesting thing about Lil Devil is that you don’t necessarily need the free spins to earn rewards - there’s such potential that you could earn 40,960x your stake by filling the reels with purple lockets and that’s before you sub in those divine multiplier angels.

Lil Devil Hints & Tips

All successful players know one thing about slots - you can’t influence the result of any spin thanks to the RNGs that power each spin. Once you understand that then you’ll realise how important a smart bankroll strategy is and how effective it can be when you want to play slots successfully.

Start by determining how much money you can afford to lose every month. The key to safeguarding your bankroll is great risk management so never play with money you can’t afford to lose, especially when playing high volatility slots like Lil Devil where high reward comes with a huge risk. Controlling the amount you wager gives you some level of control over the unpredictability of slots play so play within your means.

Once your budget is fixed, be prepared to walk away when you reach your limit. Never be tempted to chase your losses or ride your luck - it’s the fastest way to say goodbye to your bankroll.

Overall Review – Lil Devil Slot

Big Time Gaming always does a great job when it comes to creating innovative and unique slots. We always enjoy the developer’s take on various songs, and Lil Devil is no different. With an intriguing post-apocalyptic theme, Lil Devil really presents a great interpretation of The Cult's classic tune. For most players it’s another intriguing slot from Australian studio BTG based on one of their favourite songs and using the lyrics as direct inspiration for the symbols and design of this slightly unsettling slot.

With an almost apocalyptic feel as the sun goes down, this 4096 ways to win slot offers high volatility. There are two free spin bonuses on offer when you land 3 or more scatters - the lower volatility Dynamite Lover with reaction wins and increasing wild multipliers, and the higher volatility Be My Angel feature with sticky and transforming wilds and the possibility of earning up to 144x your stake on any single spin.

Both these free spins bonuses have an enhanced level if you can top up the Heartstopper meter with 40 hearts - you’ll earn one every time you land just two of the shack scatter symbols on the reels. These add extra features to the free spins that create even more potential.

About Big Time Gaming

BTG are an Australian software studio based in Sydney who have one massive claim to fame - this is the developer that brought the world the Megaways game mechanic and continues to innovate in both its Megaways and standard slots with proprietary features like the Heartstopper that’s available in Lil Devil and Royal Mint Megaways.

With a creative director who once worked for Rock Star Games, the powerhouse behind GTA and Red Dead Redemption, there’s no wonder that BTG slots are renowned for their innovations. These are slots that aren’t afraid to cross the boundary between genres and game styles - for example Holy Diver, another music themed Megaways slot, features the brilliant Reel Adventures mechanic that introduces elements of action and arcade gaming.

In fact this studio is introducing new features all the time. In Kingmaker, players are encouraged not to trigger the biggest wins in order to ramp up the multipliers. In Opal Fruits they created the Triple Reaction mechanic which is used in a different form in Lil Devil. But they’re best known for the incredible Megaways game engine that has been successfully licensed to other studios like Red Tiger and Blueprint Gaming and delivers tens of thousands of ways for players to win on a single spin.

If You Like Lil Devil, You’ll Love…

Big Time Gaming may not have the biggest back catalogue of games available, but what they lack in quantity they more than make up for in quality. 

Opal Fruits: sending fruities into space is just the kind of idea you’d expect from BTG and it works a treat. Reaction wins and multipliers combine for some juicy base game wins. Spell out FREE and you’ll trigger 10 free spins - land the letters with additional scatters to earn 5x or 10x multipliers per spin.

Kingmaker Megaways: with over 16,000 ways to win and superb sounds and visuals, this game is truly fit for a king. The objective is to win the gem multipliers and let them ramp higher and higher before you trigger any bonus free spins. There’s the usual high volatility and an RTP of 96.65% to make this game truly rewarding.

Holy Diver: based on the Dio song, this unique slot introduces Reel Adventures which follow the hero of the narrative in a separate reel at the bottom of the screen as he does battle with the bad guys. It’s hugely innovative and adds an extra dimension to a slot that offers 117,649 ways to win.

Danger High Voltage: one of BTGs music based slots, this takes its inspiration from the Electric Six banger which is why there are such eclectic symbols on the reels from tacos to the gates of Hell. Another high volatility slot from this studio - Danger High Voltage uses stacked multiplier wilds to generate some electric wins.
