Death Dominion: Pragmatic Play's Gothic Slot With 1,000x Multipliers

Death Dominion is a gothic horror slot from Pragmatic Play. The Grim Reaper lurks among blood-spattered headstones in a graveyard setting, and the game is built around multipliers that can grow quickly or disappear just as fast. It runs at 96.54% RTP with high volatility.

Base game: multipliers and Doom symbols

The game is played on a 6x5 grid with tumbles. During the base game, multipliers of up to 100x can land on the reels, and a multiplier can amplify a win that has already been formed.

The Doom symbol is what sets the game apart. When one lands, it does one of two things. It can turn into a random multiplier at the end of a tumble sequence, or it can nullify every multiplier currently in play. You can't know in advance which outcome you'll get, so any multiplier on the board is at risk until the sequence ends.

Free spins and the total multiplier

Landing 4 to 6 scatters triggers the bonus game, which awards between 12 and 20 free spins. Hitting 3 or more scatters during the feature adds 5 more spins.

Multiplier values can reach 1,000x in the bonus. Every winning multiplier is added to a running total multiplier, and that total is applied to wins as the feature goes on. The Doom symbol can still reset the total to zero, so a large total is never safe. A build-up over many spins can vanish in one hit.

Three enhanced bonus games

A separate trigger exists for the upgraded versions of the feature. You need a combination of four or more scatters that includes at least one special Dominion or Immortal scatter. That unlocks one of three enhanced bonus games:

• one that offers the chance to land additional multipliers;
• one that removes the Doom symbol's power to nullify multipliers;
• one that combines both upgrades for the whole feature.

The second and third versions change the risk profile of the bonus, because the Doom symbol can then no longer wipe out the multipliers you have collected.

Studio comments

Sharon McHugh, Pragmatic Play's head of public relations, describes the slot as a fresh take on multiplier mechanics through the Doom symbols. She says the enhanced bonus games and the theme are meant to keep the experience intense from start to finish.

Death Dominion is presented as the latest addition to the studio's portfolio of award-winning slots. Pragmatic Play currently develops up to eight new slots a month, and it also offers live casino games through a single API.
