Rows of red candles burn behind an ornate bronze frame hung with chains, and a faceless robed figure stands at the corner, offering a flame-lit set of scales. Devils Bargain 2 is a game full of optional costs, and the opening stake on screen is $1.00.
Theme and Gameplay
Everything looks forged, carved or sealed in blood. Dripping wax seals, flaming chalices, spiked crowns and coiled salamanders crowd the board, along with a horned Devil’s Visage and a winged Phoenix crest. A scarlet Bonus Buy banner adds the only loud note.
Slot Features
The core idea is a multiplier grid. Each cell shows its own value, and whenever a winning cluster explodes over it, that value steps up by 1x and stays for the rest of the round, up to 1024x. A cluster takes the sum of the cells beneath it as its multiplier, so busy areas keep gaining worth. The Inferno Wild completes or extends groups but never pays alone.
Volcano Scatters drop on any position, and how many arrive decides the feature. Each is also available to buy.
Molten Vault, from 3 Scatters or 100x, has no grid or spins. Prizes are revealed, shuffled beyond tracking, and four chests are opened for their total.
Salamander Duel, from 4 Scatters or 300x, settles everything on a three-ring wheel: a global multiplier from 2x to 1024x, 8 to 15 free spins, and a 1x to 4x seed written into all cells.
Phoenix Rebirth, from 5 Scatters or 500x, gives 10 free spins. Before each one, the phoenix raises every cell by 1x, while the Golden Phoenix version adds 10x.
Volcano Core, from 6 or more Scatters or 1,000x, opens with a choice of three volcanoes that sets a starting charge of 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x across the grid and global multiplier. The global figure then rises by 1x on every tumble with no ceiling, which makes this the most volatile option.
During the last three, 3 Scatters on a free spin add 5 spins, 4 add 8, 5 add 12 and 6 add 15.
RTP and Win Potential
Cluster payouts stay fairly restrained until multipliers join in. Iron Chains run from 0.2x to 4.5x and Devil’s Coin from 0.4x to 9x, while the Phoenix moves from 6x to 75x. Results over a short run can vary widely from the 96.50% figure, in both directions.
My Thoughts On This Slot
There is a satisfying logic to watching one patch of cells grow more valuable, and Molten Vault makes a nice change of rhythm. On the other hand, the menu of Pacts, buys and modes takes some learning. I’d also have preferred a brighter board.
