Devil's Trap

Ever driven a car and fallen into one of those trances where your body is on autopilot, indicating, navigating the streets while your mind has wandered off onto a thousand other tangents, and you've gotten home with little memory of the journey? Devil's Trap's base game was a bit like that. There was something about the low-key audio-visuals that tended to encourage relaxation rather than excitement. It's possibly one of the least scary Halloween-type games we'd reviewed in a while, which is fine; there is nothing wrong with not wanting to scare the daylights out of people. Some may appreciate this approach; others may find it a little sanitised, a little too vanilla, especially with the name it's been given. Okay, maybe there was some exaggeration in the previous paragraph because there were times when Devil's Trap pierced the somnambulist bubble and did something interesting. Typically, this was when three witch hat Bonus Symbols hit to trigger a spin on the Bonus Reel. This part of the game can be alright. The first two reels merge to create a big wheel, and the prizes it can bestow aren't bad. Free spins are one of the main goals since wins there can be bumped up by multipliers as high as x100. Devil's Trap does pack favourable winning potential, too, of up to10,000 times the bet. That'd buy a fair size bag of candy. In the end, Devil's Trap was hardly super freaky, but it has the ability to potentially inspire the odd frisson. If it's that time of the year when carved pumpkins are appearing outside houses, shops are putting skeletons in their windows, and you've got a yearning for some reel-based mischief-making, there's enough in Devil's Trap to make it more of a treat than a trick.
