Cthulu

Dare to face down an ancient horror in Cthulu, the online slot from G.Games that awakens a dark and mystical beast from its slumber. You'll need all your courage to enter the terrifying realm where the cosmic entity dwells, but if you're brave enough, you could collect real cash prizes along the way. There's a top payout of x8004 waiting to be claimed from the deadly lair for the most intrepid explorers. 

Fans of horror fiction will recognise the name of Cthulu as being the renowned creation of H.P Lovecraft in the 1920s. An alien deity from another galaxy, Cthulu is able to drive humans to the depths of insanity with just a single gaze. Gluck Games have revived this sci-fi horror creation, using the YG Masters platform from Yggdrasil to create a truly engaging online slot that will delight and terrify in equal amounts! 

Cthulu himself is known for being enormous, but that's not the case with the reels. You'll be playing on a simple 5x3 grid that contains ten traditional paylines. Start your spins from just 0.25 but bet up to 100.00 if you want to scoop up the big prizes. This game has a low-medium volatility meaning that you should have a regular flow of smaller payouts rather than less frequent big money wins. Low rollers and new players might therefore appreciate this more than those hunting down the huge prize pots. 

If you're enthusiastic about gothic-themed artwork, you'll appreciate the visuals on Cthulu. Gluck Games have done a magnificent job in creating a dark and sinister game that provides a real sense of impending doom when combined with the oppressive soundtrack. With his grotesque appearance and appetite for the demonic, Cthulu is set to wreak havoc on the world - unless you can stop him… 

The reels aren't completely filled with horrifying symbols as the low pays are made up of the card suits in neon-coloured designs. This adds a much-needed splash of brightness to the gameplay. The premium symbols include a cast of characters who you'll encounter on your adventure, including a magician, knight, sailor, mystic and musician. The magician is the most valuable symbol and will pay x50 for matching up a full line of five. 

Amidst the pouring rain and dark skies, keep your eyes open for the golden treasure chest; this is the wild and can help you make more matches by substituting for any regular symbols. 

You might be wondering whether the creature himself will make an appearance - and you won’t be disappointed as Cthulu is the scatter. This means you’re in the unusual situation of wanting the killer archdemon to appear! 

If you land three or more scatters, you'll unlock the Craze of Cthulu, the bonus game where you'll start with ten free spins. This feature can be retriggered during the round by landing three more scatters. There is no limit to the number of times the feature can be retriggered.  

During the Craze of Cthulu bonus, any character that lands on the board will immediately launch into a battle with the beast, which provides the chance of them transforming into a Sticky Wild. Unlike in other slots, the Sticky Wilds do not block all of the other symbols from appearing as they are transparent; this means you can still land more scatters underneath.  

Any Sticky Wilds you win will remain on the reels for the entire duration of the bonus, maxing out your chances of winning. 

Cthulu from Gluck Games is a creative online slot that has been developed to its full potential using the successful YG Masters programme from Yggdrasil. Fans of horror-themed games will be thrilled to see such a popular fantasy character brought to life in slot form so expertly. The game isn't the most expansive you'll find, and the features included are pretty limited. However, the low-medium volatility will deliver plenty of small wins, and there's enough to keep new, casual and social players thoroughly entertained.
