Theme, graphics & soundtrack in Profondo Rosso

This quirky and dark horror slot is sure to shock, with the imagery, theme and music (or lack of) creating a most unsettling scene.

Game theme in Profondo Rosso slot

Forget all about the fun imagery of Halloween slots, as this disturbing game is genuinely scary. Featuring elements reminiscent of films such as Psycho, The Shining, and Child’s Play, it is based on the 1975 film Deep Red. Now considered a masterpiece, this Italian film was directed by Dario Argento.

Graphics in Profondo Rosso slot

The symbols include a man and a woman, a woman screaming in the shower, an eye, a pair of child’s feet by a bloodied knife, a spooky corridor, a book, a mirror, and a hand against a shower wall. If this sounds creepy, it is! There is also a dolly in a noose, a broken doll, and a decomposing body. The game has a dark colour scheme of mostly blacks, blues and greys with pops of blood red.

Sounds in Profondo Rosso slot

There is no soundtrack in the base game; instead, there are just a few sound effects as the reels move. The lack of music is chilling. In the bonus feature, the terrifying musical score begins. Depending on which bonus feature you play, slightly different music is played.

Profondo Rosso bonuses 

Three Steps into Delirium

Land one broken doll bonus on the central reel to enter the Three Steps into Delirium feature. This is a short pick game in which players choose one of three screens. This will reveal which bonus feature they are awarded: the Nightmares from Childhood free spins or the Corridor of Fear. You can also buy this bonus, which essentially offers a gamble between the two main bonus features (below).

Nightmares from Childhood (free spins bonus)

Accessed either by buying direct, by landing three scatter symbol books or via the Three Steps into Delirium pick feature, this free spins bonus feature starts with a pick game in which creepy children’s pictures reveal the number of free spins and multipliers.

Corridor of Fear

This can be accessed via the Three Steps into Delirium Bonus, by buying directly, or by landing three scatter symbol corridors in the base game. In this game, a near-empty reel set only lands mirrors that have cash prizes. Any that stick pay out a total win at the end.

Profondo Rosso review: our verdict

Gameplay

The gameplay in this video slot is fairly straightforward. Players need to choose a bet per line, which is automatically multiplied by 30 for your total wager. Players have the option to buy into one of the two main bonus features or use the pick feature for a gamble as to which one.

Theme and style

The theme and style together is the most outstanding feature of this slots game. If you haven't seen the Italian horror Profundo Rosso (Deep Red), perhaps watch it before you play so that you are better prepared! Although the graphics are slightly clunky in places, this appears to be purposeful to mimic the look of the 1970s film. 

Profondo Rosso bonus features

There are two main bonus games: a cash prize reel game and a free spins feature. Both offer much in the way of creepy imagery and both add to the overall game experience. The bonus games are not particularly exciting, although the multiplier in the free spins increases the potential win.
