True Kult

Review True Kult

Cults have something dark to it and we’ve all heard about the events that cult sessions escalated in complete disorder. This is probably why the 5 different devotees are very scary, reminding us of the madness we encountered in the Mental-game. Interestingly, the pokie starts off rather decent, with the different devotees standing barefoot in the grass. Don’t let this trick you though as everything will change in The Sacrifice bonus. This is when they will have their feet turned into hooves, promising some rather sketchy situations. The stats in this new online casino game by Nolimit City are as convincing as ever, and both bonus rounds can lead to payouts up to 23,237x the bet.

How to Play

This pokie game is presented on a playfield of 5×3 and offers an initial total of 243 ways to win. If you manage to get to the 6th column, you will see how the ways to win rise to 729. Wins are made with combinations of between 3 and 6 identical symbols as seen from the leftmost column. Sounds simple, right? Well, here is how to play True Kult by Nolimit City:

• Go for the Coins button to get access to the stake selection window. Next, click on the preferred amount, ranging somewhere between $ 0.20 to $ 100.
• Click on the Spin button for a single turn of the reels. The Autoplay-option gives you the flexibility to sit back and relax, during a predefined number of spins.
• The Turbo mode will speed up the process.
• The Menu button will give you the main game information such as the rules, the RTP, max wins, and the values of the symbols.

Symbol Wins

Speaking of which: this pokie is built around a cult game theme, where the different devotees will make sure you feel part of the group. Whilst birds chirp, there are also different tunes that add excitement and mystery with some people probably seeing this as discomforting. As for the symbols, we’ll see that the low values are made up of the letters T, L, V, K, and A. Combos of 6 of a kind will award payouts between 1.5x to 2.5x the stake. The high value symbols are the cult members that attend the event which we have categorised from 1 to 5, but doing this by the background colour would also be an option. Combos of 6 of the same symbols will lead to wins between 2.75x to 5x the stake. Here is what the main symbols and the special symbols in True Kult can mean for players:

Bonus Features

There are an impressive number of 7 different bonus features to be discovered in this pokie game. These features range from multipliers up to 99x, stacked symbols and two different FS features. Let’s take a closer look at the features with the Baptism of Fire feature being the first one on the list.

Baptism By Fire

Whilst spanning you can land stacked symbols, which are used to show similar and randomly selected symbol types. These can turn out to be high value symbols or scatter symbols consequently leading to the revelation of skull wilds in the bonus game.

Scatters

Two or more scatter symbols will trigger the 6th reel 6 which can lead to a total of 729 ways to win. Landing 3+ scatters will provide access to the bonus game.

True Believer Wilds

If you make it to the 6th reel, you have the opportunity to land the True Believer Symbol. This symbol is recognised by the same randomly chosen premium symbol. These will randomly turn the game’s low values on the reels 2-5 into wild symbols. These are useful for making other winning combinations as they substitute for other symbols in the game.

Tarot Multipliers

On the 6th reel you can also land Tarot Multipliers which can come with multipliers of 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 50x, or 99x. These multipliers are then applied to winning combinations they are part of. In the event of these multipliers, they will lead to a high value symbol type, which will not be used during the bonus game. Instead it stays sticky during the Sacrifice bonus game.

The Seance

Three scatters will trigger the Seance feature giving you a welcome reward of 7 free spins. After this, you will start with 3 All Seeing Eye frames. The symbols in these frames will then be split in two, whilst the frames move between the reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. Whilst you trigger the bonus game, reel 6 will give you both tarot multipliers and true believer symbols. In this case, you will get 1 extra free spin as this also leads to an All Seeing Eye frame. Landing a wild within one frame, will make it turn to two wilds with 1 rewarded frame.

If you manage to land a tarot multiplier, it will be collected. This happens when it is not part of a win after which is applied to the next tarot multiplier. Once this has happened, the multiplier will disappear. Landing a multiplier that reveals the same premium symbol as the one already collected will lead to the highest multiplier being collected, and updating the symbol multiplier count. This shows how many of that symbol the multiplier will upgrade.

Sacrifice Spins

Landing 4 scatters in the base game or 1 scatter symbol on reel 6 during The Seance feature, will trigger the Sacrifice Spins feature. The player is then rewarded with 10 FS, which all start with 4 All Seeing Eye frames. This will move to new positions on the reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. During the free spins symbols will land within the frames that are doubled. The rest works pretty much the same as in the other bonus game. Do note that the tarot multipliers are sticky and thus saved during the game. These are then applied to the reel.

Left Hand Path

Landing True Kult’s top win of 23,237x the stake, will make you activate the Left Hand Path. This is when a winning screen will be presented.

xBet

The xBet can be triggered for a cost of 3x the stake, leading to 4-6 times the chance to trigger the Seance and Sacrifice Spins. The RTP rate will be set at 96.14% which is slightly higher than the standard 96.09% RTP.

Bonus Buy

If you’re an impatient Kiwi, you can also make use of the integrated bonus buy option, available for New Zealanders. This gives you the choice between 3 options:

• 68x: gives the player access to The Seance bonus game.
  • RTP: 96.19%.
• 400x: gives the player access to the Sacrifice Spins bonus game.
  • RTP: 96.30%.
• 234x: Lucky Draw, 50/50 chance to activate either The Seance or Sacrifice Spins.
  • RTP of 96.32%.

Payout Metrics

The basic RTP of True Kult RTP is set at 96.09%, although there are other versions of 94.09%, 92.1% and 87.09% available, which basically depends on the online casino you’re signed up to. As usually happens with NLC, the variance is extremely high with the 10 out of 10 rating giving you an idea of what to expect. The max win in True Kult is set at 23,237x the bet with an average hit rate of 1 in 8 million. Although it may not sound like it,  this is not bad at all, so your chances of winning are not that bad. The different free spins features will offer the best wins so assuming this is what you’re after you will need to pay some extra attention to this if you manage to make it this far.
