Faust Slot Machine

As the name clearly suggests, the theme of Novomatic's Faust slot machine is based on the German scholar who allegedly sold his soul to the devil to receive complete knowledge and wealth. A rather fitting theme for a gambling game. In the game, you can encounter the protagonist, Faust, the devil, the scholar's wife, and a scale weighing luxury and wisdom. The game screen consists of 5 reels and 3 rows, for a total of 10 paylines. The RTP is 95%, while the volatility is indicated as high.

Faust slot machine: general information

Mysticism and esotericism: these are the protagonists of the Faust slot, evoked from the first glance at the game's background. Against a background illuminated by a soft bluish light and made even more mysterious by some trails of smoke, you can see books, vials, ancient statues, and a scale ready to weigh the virtues of those who intend to challenge, like Faust, the devil himself. There is no music, but you can hear the most classic jingle with each spin of the reels. Wins highlight the paylines and activate pleasant animations in both the main figures of the slot and the minor symbols.

To obtain wins in the Faust slot, you need to align 3 or more symbols on one or more of the 10 proposed paylines. Among the paying symbols that scroll on the reels, you can see: the scholar Faust, who pays up to 5,000x, a young woman who pays up to 2,000x, and the two plates of the scale, which weigh wealth and knowledge respectively, paying up to 750x. Another paying symbol is the scatter, depicted by the Devil, which returns up to 2,000x the base bet. Minor symbols, depicted by the letters A, K, Q, J, and 10, can return from 5x to 150x the base bet.

The minimum allowed bet is 10 tokens, while the maximum goes up to 2,000 tokens.

Extra features of the Faust slot

Wild and Scatter: the classic functions of the Wild and the symbol that activates bonus features are, in Faust, united in a single icon. The Devil has this honor, substituting all base figures and being able to activate free games when it lands at least 3 times on the reels during the same spin.

Free Spins: free games are activated when 3 or more Devil icons land on the game screen. When this happens, the player is entitled to 10 free spins, and these have the additional advantage of enriching the gameplay with an expanded Wild. When the Devil appears on the reels during Free Spins, it expands and occupies all 3 lines, optimizing winning possibilities.

Gamble Feature: the "Gamble" function allows you to double your winnings by participating in a small bonus game. To increase your bounty, you must guess the color of the card that will be drawn, but if you guess wrong, you lose everything. You can bet on the same win up to 5 times.

Pros and cons of the Faust slot

Faust slot machine was released in November 2015 by provider Novomatic. This title also reflects some of the characteristics that distinguish the provider in the vast panorama of casino suppliers: original theme and decidedly interesting paytable. Gameplay dynamics is not one of this game's prerogatives, as you could say there are only rather basic extra functions: 10 Free Spins, an expansion Wild, and the Gamble function. Nevertheless, the title is quite enjoyable, thanks to the graphic style characterizing the main icons and a theme that recalls the story of the famous humanist Faust. The betting range is wide enough to satisfy both cautious players and those who love more daring bets.
