Cult Slot (Pragmatic Play)

The Cult slot has 5 reels, 4 rows and 25 fixed paylines: you need 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols from left to right, beginning from reel 1, across any of the paylines to form a winning combination. Only the highest win per payline will be awarded.

With a 25p minimum bet per spin, the maximum bet is £5 in the UK (or £2 if under 25). Use the plus and minus buttons to change your stake. Non-UK players have the added extras of Autoplay, Turbo Spin and Quick Spin.

Higher than the slots average, the Cult RTP rate is 96.51%. As expected, Pragmatic Play has created alternative RTP settings: 95.5% and 94.52%.

Very high volatility, the hit frequency rate is 22.78% (meaning a winning combination will form every 1 in 4.39 spins on average). Triggering the Free Spins feature will happen every 1 in 369.88 spins (on average).

In terms of win potential, Cult offers 10,000 x bet max wins: your chances of winning the max win is 1 in 1,847,309 spins. Winning 1,000 x your total bet or higher will occur every 1 in 63,680 spins.

With a cult theme, the Cult slot takes you into a jungle where you’ll see devout followers standing in front of their leader. All followers are dressed in white robes and look on at their guru with focus and purpose. In terms of the prophet/guru/cult leader, he is well dressed and looks a little like Bradley Cooper.

The soundtrack is a little creepy and enchanting. On the reels, you’ll see red roses, credit cards, praying hands statues of the leader, cups of drink, 3 members of the cult and the cult leader himself. The cult leader symbol is the best paying, awarding 20 x your total bet for 5 across any payline.

When it comes to special symbols, there are 2 Wild symbols. You will also come across a Gold Coin Multiplier Wild symbol. All wilds substitute for all symbols except the Scatter and pay 2, 6 or 24 x your total bet for 3, 4 or 5 in combination. Finally, there is a Scatter: key to triggering the free spins.

Cult Mobile

Pragmatic Play uses HTML5 technology for all their slot games. Compatible with mobile, desktop and tablet devices, smartphone players can enjoy Cult on iOS and Android devices, in Portrait Mode.

Cult comes multiplier wilds worth up to 100x that apply to wins when appearing anywhere on the reels. In the Free Spins feature, the total multiplier doesn’t result allowing for big win potential.

Multiplier Wild

As mentioned, there is a Gold Coin Multiplier Wild symbol that substitutes for all symbols bar the Scatter. When it lands, it will contain a random multiplier from 2x to 100x. 

When the Gold Coin Multiplier Wild lands and there is at least 1 winning combination on the reels, its multiplier is added to the total multiplier. The total multiplier applies to all winning combinations, which then resets at the end of the current base game spin.

Free Spins

The Free Spins feature is activated by landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatters during a base game spin. Once this happens, the setting changes as you head to a luxury villa where all the cult members are enjoying a white pool party. To me, it seems like they are funding an extravagant lifestyle for the cult leader.

Anyway, with 10, 15 or 20 free spins awarded respectively, the total multiplier does not reset until the end of the feature. If you hit 3, 4 or 5 Scatters, you’ll win an extra 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively (with no limits).

Special Bets & Bonus Buy

Cult comes with 2 Special Bet options:

• Ante Bet: for 5 x your total bet, there is a 10 times higher chance of triggering the free spins. RTP is 96.51%.
• Super Spin: for 10 x your total bet, you are guaranteed a Gold Coin Multiplier Wild on that spin. RTP is 96.5%.

Non-UK players can buy their way into the free spins, with 2 options available:

• Free Spins: for 100 x your total bet, you buy your way into the Free Spins feature. RTP is 96.51%.
• Super Free Spins: for 500 x your total bet, you buy your way into the Super Free Spins feature. The different from the standard version is that there is a higher chance of Gold Coin Multiplier Wilds on each free spin. RTP is 96.49%.

Cult Slot

Rating: 3.7/5

Cult is a rather simple slot game that focuses on Gold Coin Multiplier Wilds worth up to 100x that can combine in the free spins for up to 10,000 x bet max wins.

Chris Taylor

Visually, the Cult slot starts off in a jungle with devout followers worshipping their leader. In the free spins, the setting changes to a pool party where all followers are dressed to impress. It’s clear the cult leader is propping up his millionaire lifestyle at the expense of his naive followers.

In terms of the gameplay, Cult is pretty simple. In the base game, there are Gold Coin Multiplier Wilds that apply to winning combinations on that base game spin: multiple Gold Coin Multiplier Wilds will see their values added together and then applied.

It gets a little more interesting in the Free Spins feature as the total multiplier doesn’t reset throughout the whole feature. With Gold Coin Multiplier Wilds worth up to 100x, multiple Gold Coin Multiplier Wilds can see you build up the total multiplier significantly for big wins.

With 10,000 x bet max wins, Cult has the power to award big payouts with Gold Coin Multiplier Wilds the key. You do need a winning combination to form if you want Gold Coin Multiplier Wild values to be added to the total multiplier though.

In summary, Cult is a simple slot game. Much like the cult leader, there isn’t much substance to the game but there is big win potential if you manage to build up the total multiplier in the free spins.

If you like the cult theme, I recommend you try Nolimit City’s True Kult (23,237 x bet max wins) and Shady Lady’s Brainwashed (20,000 x bet max wins).
