Yggdrasil's latest game Devour The Weak will scare you
On April 27, Yggdrasil, a Malta-based, internationally renowned iGaming provider, released Devour the Weak, a slot machine with a hell-themed design that features the underground, also known as hell, where numerous different demons and beasts reside. This release followed the recent collaboration with Bang Bang Games and the release of the popular Shadow Raiders MultiMaxTM.

True to its name, the slot's primary themes are the underworld, demons, and numerous hideous creatures that inhabit it. The background reels of the game show lava pouring through scorching rocks where the action is taking place.
This slot machine may be played on any device, and the rock music that plays throughout the spins completes the game's ambience.
On a dynamic 53 grid with 243 paylines, players must create a combination of three or more matching symbols on neighbouring reels starting from the leftmost reel in order to win. Additionally, each victory initiates the Dropdown feature and the Avalanche mechanic, which eliminates each winning symbol together with every other icon of equal or lower value, leading to the replacement of those icons with new ones and the creation of additional wins.
J, Q, K, and A are the basic, low-value symbols. Monsters in the colours of blue, green, yellow, and red are the high-value bonus symbols. A combination of 5 low-value symbols is worth 0.3x to 1x, while a combination of 5 high-value bonus symbols is worth 1.5x to 2.5x the player's wager.
Additional symbols include the Wild Symbol, represented by the golden skull, and purple orbs may form on the symbols as they are spinning, indicating that they are hexed.
The game offers 4 variable RTPs, with an RTP of 96% set as the default, a potential win of up to 10,000 times a player's wager, and extremely high volatility. 94%, 90.5%, and 86% are the other three.
Slot attributes:
Dropdown: As previously noted, this function is activated when the player creates a winning combination. Additionally, the Avalanche mechanism is active during this feature, which results in the removal of symbols from the reels that pay less than the symbols that were a part of the eliminated winning combination.
As long as the player continues to win, the feature will continue, and when it does, the player will be paid out for all of their winnings.
The primary function of wild symbols is to create more winning combinations by swapping out other regular symbols.
Symbols that have been hexed become Wild if they contribute to a win.
Each symbol that contributed to the win will be added to the multiplier metre, which is situated to the left of the reels. The player will advance to the following multiplier level, which starts at 1x, each time they gather 6 symbols.
Additionally, the player-activated current multiplier is applied to the winnings. In contrast, if no more winnings are achieved, the multiplier returns to 1x once more, and if the player is already engaged in the bonus game, the multiplier will change to 6x.
Free Spins: This feature is activated if 6 or more Hex Symbols are removed. When it is engaged, the player immediately receives 10 free spins for the six removed Hexed symbols, with an additional free spin awarded for each additional sign.
The three centre reels will have a purple frame for the duration of the bonus game, and any Hexed Symbols that land within of it will instantly turn into Wilds.
Additionally, if the player lands +1 symbols on the fifth reel, they will also result in 1 extra free spin being awarded for each such symbol.
Golden Bet: This feature is unlocked if the player deposits an additional 50% of their wager. As soon as it is activated, it will provide the player 1 gathered Hexed Symbol for each spin.
Additionally, it will raise the player's chances of encountering Hexagonal Symbols.
Bonus Buy: The player may use this function if they choose to purchase the Free Spins Bonus Game right away. There are two possibilities:
100x - The player receives a random amount of free spins, which might be 10, 11, 12, or 13, when the free spins round is triggered. The player also starts the free spins round with a random amount of free spins, which may be 14, 15, 16 or 17. The minimum multiplier is 6x; the maximum multiplier is 666x. 33x is the smallest multiplier.
Head of Product & Programmes at Yggdrasil Stuart McCarthy commented on the introduction, saying: "This fascinating new slot isn't for the faint of heart, with a terrific theme including demonic figures that are brilliantly designed for an immersive experience.
We're excited to see gamers eat up the low-paying symbols and begin piling up big winnings with hexed icons, win multipliers, and free spins.
