Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Voodoo is one of the oldest world religions, dating back 6,000 years to its roots in Africa. And like any religion, it has its gods and rituals.

The Voodoo we see in movies, TV series and games like The Rite is very different from the way it's practiced in Haiti, where Vodun is an official state religion alongside Catholicism.

In those rites and rituals, priests are ‘ridden’ or possessed, for hours by the Loa, the spirits or gods of voodoo. Sacrifices are common to feed life energy back to the Loa, who in return will influence the course of your life. Displease them and you're likely to fall sick or suffer misfortune.

The Rite uses a mix of queasy colours and unsettling visuals to create an eerie atmosphere. A discordant soundtrack summons up every horror movie you've ever watched and the sound effects are genuinely spine-tingling.

The game symbols include skulls, masks, daggers and of course, a voodoo doll, with more appearing in the creepy bonus feature.

There may be 6 royals on the reels, but getting only fleeting glimpses of this strange ritual makes the graphics more effective, not less.

RTP & Volatility

Overall Review: Our Verdict

The Rite is a genuinely creepy game from Mascot Games that creates a haunting impression through its audiovisuals. The Voodoo Rite bonus feature is a genuine chiller, with its weirdly innocent voodoo dolls.

With every symbol paying out, there’s some potential for decent wins, with up to 100x your stake up for grabs. But we defy you not to want to leave the light on for fear those big wins won’t come around too often.

Another genuinely scary slots experience is the Reel Fear demo slot from Booming Games - spin it if you dare!
