The Grim Reaper Review

Extra Features

Here’s a look into all the game features available in Quickspin’s The Grim Reaper.

Soul Respin

Soul Respins begin when there are Wilds on the grid alongside Souls. The Respins start on the reels that do not contain these icons, while the ones already on the grid remain stuck in place. When the Respins are done, meaning there are no new icons appearing on the grid.

When the Respin is all done, all Souls on the grid are collected by Wilds, and their values are added together for a bigger payout.

Free Spins

The game’s main feature, the Free Spins are unlocked with Scatters. Here’s the thing: there are three levels that each have a required number of Scatters. For the lowest level, it’s 3 – but if you land 4 or 5, you will immediately jump into the second or third level.

An important thing to note is that you can progress from one level to the next by collecting Wilds in a special meter.

• The Gathering: First level of free spins with guaranteed Soul Respins and Collection. To advance to the next level, you need 6 Wilds.
• Raise the Souls: In the second level, you collect symbols that transform into Souls when there are no Souls appearing regularly on the grid. For next level, you also need 6 Wilds.
• Reaper Harvest: This is the final level where Wilds landing becomes Sticky Wilds staying on reels for the duration of spins.

Extra Bet & Feature Buy

Extra Bet doubles your stake to enhance feature frequency. If you want direct access to Free Spins without waiting, consider the Buy Feature. This option lets you purchase any free spins tier directly for faster access to big wins. It’s not available in every market, though.

Our Experience with The Grim Reaper

No one likes to face the Grim Reaper, except when he’s appearing as a Wild in a Quickspin slot.

That said, the game Grim Reaper impressed us with its dark atmosphere and progression mechanics. The base game can be a little tense, but it definitely comes alive when Soul Respins start rolling together.

The highlight should be Free Spins and the three tiers, but what really stole the show for us was the game’s Wild because it plays so many functions. We were also surprised to see medium-high volatility, because most games off this calibre tend to run with higher levels. This made it a favourite Halloween-related game of ours in a while.
