Relax Gaming dropped Spirit of the Beast back in 2022, and it's one of those slots where the math team clearly built everything around the bonus round. The base game? It caps at 300x your bet on any single spin. That's it. So if you're spinning here hoping for a chunky base hit, you're shopping in the wrong aisle.
The setup is a 5×3 grid with just 15 ways to win, RTP sitting at 96.52% in base and 96.71% if you buy. High volatility, hit frequency around 25%, bets from 0.10 up to 80 EUR. Five tribal portrait symbols pay top, each one wreathed in a colored spirit aura: wolf, bear, eagle, buffalo, cougar. Low pays are card royals etched into stone tablets, which is a nicer touch than the usual lazy 9-through-K filler. Visually the whole thing sits on a moonlit Pacific Northwest lake with pine silhouettes and teepees on the far shore. The reels are framed in carved wood-and-stone totems. It's atmospheric without being loud about it.
Here's where it gets interesting. The Spirit Summoner is a random base feature with no trigger condition, it just fires when it feels like it. Picks one of the five animals, stacks it across the reels, gives you a guaranteed respin payout. This is the one mechanic that keeps the base game from feeling completely dead between bonus hunts, and honestly without it the grind would be brutal.
The headline is the Mighty Multiplier Free Spins, triggered by 3+ Scatters (and you get +1 spin per Scatter during the round). Wilds land with multiplier values that get collected and added together, a running tally, not per-spin reset. Fill all five Wild stack positions and you trigger the 10,000x Collection Award outright, no further spins needed. That's the dream chase. Whether you ever actually fill all five stacks in your lifetime is a separate conversation.
The Buy Bonus costs 70x your bet. Given how lean base play feels, it's pretty clearly the intended way to play this game. One catch though: the Buy is UK-restricted, so UK players are stuck grinding scatters the slow way. That's a real piece of friction depending on where you live.
No jackpots, no progressive nonsense, just the multiplier collection mechanic doing all the work. Spirit of the Beast is a focused, slightly punishing slot built for bonus hunters who can stomach the variance.
