Voodoo - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Take a step into the swamp if you dare to practise a mysterious form of Voodoo with Endorphina. The five reels and ten paylines sound simple, but when even the five traditional card symbols blend with the theme and the six higher-paying symbols create an even creepier atmosphere, you’re going to want to be careful where you tread. It’ll be worth it, though, if you manage to find the free spins, Expanding Symbols and Risk Game.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Voodoo often gets used as a catchall term for a variety of spiritual beliefs and practices descended from the West African religion of Vodun. One of the most recognisable is New Orleans Voodoo, developed by the African diaspora in the state of Louisiana. Imagery from genuine voodoo practices has been taken and adapted in different forms of media to create its popular perception as a system associated with death and zombies. You may have seen it in the Voodoo Gold slot.

The Voodoo slot also makes use of this imagery, and it does so in atmospheric fashion. Among the magic themed slots, it is definitely one of the creepier offerings. You’re completely immersed in the misty green haze of the swamp, with traditional card symbols scratched in spider webs. Crows, snakes, animal heads and voodoo dolls all lurk in the shadows, as does the zombie woman sitting at the top of the paytable. All these symbols of death can become animated when they’re on a winning line, and there’s a creepy soundtrack complete with swamp sounds and fierce drums to make the immersion complete.

Voodoo RTP and Variance

The 96% RTP for Voodoo is pretty average for online slots. It also has a high volatility or variance, meaning you’re more likely to hit a few high wins than lots of small wins.

How to Play Voodoo

It’s time to begin the ritual of the slots:

1. The loading screen actually has some of the most basic instructions for you - a long swipe of the main spin button will activate turbo mode, a short swipe will start autospin and a single tap will spin the reels.

2. There’s only one other button, Menu, on the right of the screen, but clicking it will open lots of other option, including the paytable, bet adjustor and game statistics.

3. First in the Menu is the paytable, represented by an “i” symbol. It will show you the value of different symbols, instructions for triggering features and the more general game rules.

4. Next to the paytable symbol is the bet adjustor. When it’s opened you’ll be given the ability to change the denomination, bet and number of paylines. You can also decide whether you want your balance shown in cash or credits and set a reality check for up to an hour to stop your session going too long.

5. Your third button is Autospin. Set the number of spins, then choose stopping points depending on how much time has passed, when you have a single win of a certain size or when your overall balance decreases by a certain amount.

6. On the second row of buttons you’ll find game statistics, including balance, total bet, total wins and session time.

7. After statistics is the volume button, with on/off switches and an adjustment bar for sound Master, Effects and Background sound.

8. Finally, the last Menu button is Interface, where you can set your preferred language and switch to left-hand mode.

9. Once you head back to the main screen and start playing, relevant displays for your balance, bet and win size can also be seen under the reels.

Bet & Win Sizes

If you set the adjustor labelled “Denomination” (otherwise known as coin bet), you can pick between 0.01 and 1, whilst Bet can be adjusted between 1 and 10. This means a total bet between 0.10 and 100 with all paylines active.

Five matches, even with the lowest bet level, can pay as follows:

10, J, Q - 1.00

K, A - 1.25

Crow, Doll, Head - 2.50

Snake - 5.00

Woman - 10.00

Scatter - 20.00

Max-win 10,000x

Volatility High

Top RTP 96.00%

Voodoo Bonus Features & Free Spins

Risk Game

There is a Gamble feature, known as the Risk Game, available after every winning spin of Voodoo. You may choose to bank your winnings, but you will also be given the option to risk them again. Five cards will be dealt, one face-up and the other four closed. If you can pick a facedown card with a higher value than the face-up card, you win. If your card is lower, you lose. If you pick the same value card, it’s a draw and you play again. You can gamble up to ten times.

Free Spins

The free spins feature in Voodoo is triggered by the Scatter. Three or more will give you a flat rate of ten free spins which you can retrigger during the round. Winning symbols in the free spins round will expand to fill their respective reels and potentially increase your chances of more winning lines.

Voodoo Review

Atmospheric is the first word to use when describing Voodoo as a slot. The theme and graphics are complete and immersive and justify the game’s existence all by themselves. It’s a bit disappointing that the number of free spins is capped at ten at a time, but you also have the Expanding Symbols and Risk Game to add a little extra excitement.
