Dark Vortex

Dark Vortex is a spooky, all-theme video slot game from Yggdrasil. Dark Vortex is optimized for desktop computers, laptops, tablets and mobile devices of all kinds, but you'll want to play it on a bigger screen at first to check out all the amazing detail of the design of this new game.

The game has five reels and three rows set in a stone frame of sculpted demons. It's seriously cool. There are 243 ways to win.

Icons include ornate locked books in red, blue, teal, purple and green, each with monsters clawing their way out; plus you'll see a zombie cat, a crazy lady, a green monster, a purple monster and a red devil.

There is one wild symbol that can substitute for anything you need to make a win, except for the Vortex and Orb symbols.

Open up the Vortex reels to suddenly transform the game into a five-reel, five-row slot machine. Now you have to collect Vortex icons. Get enough of them and you'll trigger free spins mode. During the free spins you'll have the options of getting stacked wilds and stacked high cards – both of which greatly increase your chances of winning.

During free spins, the Pink Orb will show up on the first and fifth reels, and it increases the wild stack size. You'll need to get Blue Orbs on the second, third and fourth reels to increase your number of free spins.

This high-variance game from Yggdrasil has a return to player ratio of 96.5%. The most you can win is 73,180 coins; the minimum wager on any given spin is .01, and the maximum is 500, so there is a huge range here that should appeal to all kinds of players.
