Dark Vortex

Evil forces have triggered the Dark Vortex, ready to tear open a portal to a sinister realm filled with shadows and torment!

Collect Pink and Blue Orbs in the Dark Vortex slot by Yggdrasil, and get all five Vortex Reels to trigger the free spins game.

Dark Vortex is among the older Yggdrasil games, having been released in October 2018. The game has an RTP of 96.50% or 97%, though most casinos likely set it to the lower value. If you see the Buy Feature button, then your game has an RTP of 97%.

Game Layout & Symbols

In this game, you will be constantly on the lookout for the Vortex symbols. You’ll want to land two side by side to open the Vortex Reels, and when you do, you’ll be on the lookout for Pink Orbs and Blue Orbs. In the meantime, the game will award payline wins, but you won’t care much about them.

The Vortex Reels have Orbs, more ways to win, more Wilds and more high-win symbols. You definitely want more of all of those.

When you land 2 Vortex symbols on adjacent reels, 2 Vortex Reels will be active for 3 spins, and if you land more Vortex symbols, you’ll get more Vortex Reels. If you reach 5 Vortex reels, you will have triggered the free spins feature.

The paytable has ten symbols, five of which are low-win Book symbols, while the high-win symbols are various monsters. The low-win symbols pay up to 12 coins while the high-win symbols start at 30 coins for a five-of-a-kind win and peak at 60.

This is an all ways win game. That means there are no paylines to speak of, as any combination of three or more identical symbols on subsequent reels will bring about a win.

Wild & Scatter Symbols

Wild symbol can appear only on Vortex Reels and Free Spins reels 2, 3 and 4.

This game has no Scatters that trigger the free spins, as the free spins are triggered by reaching all five Vortex Reels. There are, however, two special symbols: Pink Orbs extend the Wild Stack size and Blue Orbs increase the number of Free Spins.

Pink Orbs only appear on Vortex Reels 1 and 5, and Blue Orbs appear on Vortex Reels 2, 3  and 4.

How to Play the Dark Vortex Slot

This slot game is easy to play, as you simply select your desired bet size from the menu. It can range from €0.10 to €50 per spin. When you’re happy with your bet, click the Spin button or set up Autoplay.

Dark Vortex Slot Features

Dark Vortex slot is primarily driven by the Vortex Reels as well as the collection of Pink and Blue orbs.

Vortex Reels

Vortex Reels are the main thing in this slot game. They have 5 symbols instead of 3, contain Wilds, more high-win symbols, and contain Orbs. The normal reels don’t contain Orbs, and Orbs are what make your free spins feature go.

When you land two Vortex symbols on adjacent reels, these will be converted into Vortex Reels for the duration of 3 spins. During those spins, you’ll need to land an additional Vortex symbol on the normal reels to make that reel a Vortex Reel too and extend the counter by +2 spins.

If you manage to have all five Vortex Reels, you’ll trigger the free spins feature.

Vortex Free Spins

One free spin will be awarded for every Blue Orb in your collection at the time of triggering the free spins. Vortex Free Spins have 5×5 reels and 3,125 ways to win. The middle three reels all have stacked Wilds, and the stack is increased by 1 Wild for every Pink Orb in your collection.

As you can see, what matters here is how many Blue and Pink Orbs you have, so you will actually want to the time it takes to trigger the free spins feature to be as long as possible!

The Dark Vortex Slot Compatible Devices

The game will look good on all devices, and it seems to work best on smartphones in portrait mode or on desktop computers and laptops, where all the details are more visible. The game works on all Android and Apple devices.
