Dark Summoning

Ten thousand multipliers on a single Wild symbol sounds unlikely until you watch Dark Summoning's cascading reels swallow a full column in red fire. Hacksaw Gaming built this 5x6 occult slot around two distinct bonus modes, 24 fixed paylines, and a 10,666x max win that surfaces through stacked cascade chains. It runs on desktop and mobile, accepts crypto at Wild.io, and the bonus buy option means you can skip straight to the ritual.

What is Dark Summoning?

Dark Summoning is a 5x6 video slot from Hacksaw Gaming with a 94.34% RTP, medium-high volatility, and a top payout of 10,666x your bet. Two free-spins bonuses anchor the mechanic: Rise to Salvation, where blue Wilds land with multipliers up to 100x, and Trial by Hellfire, which reverses the cascade direction so symbols travel upward.

The Super Cascades engine drives both modes. Winning symbols disappear and replacements drop in from above, chaining wins until the grid stabilises. The Will of the Order feature interrupts the base game when an Order scatter lands, converting two to ten surrounding symbols into Wilds on the spot. It fires once per scatter, so multiple Order symbols in a single spin can flood the 5x6 grid before the cascade even begins.

Who will enjoy this game the most?

You will probably enjoy this game if you like:

• Players who chase multiplier Wilds and want values up to 100x on a single symbol
• High-volatility fans comfortable with a medium-high variance model that concentrates payouts in the bonus
• Bonus buy regulars who want direct access to either of the two ritual free-spins modes
• Cascade-slot fans who enjoy watching chains build through 24 paylines on a tall 5x6 grid
• Crypto players who want occult horror aesthetics alongside BTC, ETH, and USDT compatibility at Wild.io

How To Play Dark Summoning Slot - Step By Step

Head to Wild.io and create a free account to start playing Dark Summoning.

1. Set your bet and load Dark Summoning in the games library at Wild.io, demo or real money.
2. Watch for the Order scatter on any spin. When it lands, Will of the Order converts 2-10 surrounding symbols into Wilds before payouts are calculated.
3. Collect three Unholy scatter symbols in a single round to trigger the base free-spins bonus with 10 spins in Rise to Salvation mode, where blue Wild multipliers up to 100x are active.
4. If an Order scatter is present when the third Unholy lands, the Trial by Hellfire bonus activates instead, also awarding 10 free spins but reversing the cascade direction so symbols move upward.
5. During any cascade, track the Lost Soul symbols: a Global Multiplier Lost Soul multiplies the entire round win, while a Cash Prize Lost Soul adds a direct cash value to the payout.

You can also deposit using various supported payment methods.

Dark Summoning Slot Theme & Graphics

Dark Summoning places you inside a ritualistic cult setting, heavy on gothic occult imagery. The 5x6 grid is framed in dark stone with arcane markings, and the symbol art ranges from a goat-faced sigil and obsidian pyramid to more grounded horror props like a crow and bloody scissors. The palette runs dark, almost monochromatic between spins, then shifts to deep red and pulsing amber when the Order scatter triggers its Wild conversion.

The sound design stays subdued and atmospheric in the base game, building into a low choral swell during bonus mode. Hacksaw Gaming made both bonus environments visually distinct: Rise to Salvation keeps the cool blue palette of the Wilds, while Trial by Hellfire casts the grid in red. On mobile the 5x6 layout compresses cleanly, keeping the symbol detail readable without layout shifts.

Dark Summoning Slot Symbols & Paytables

The Dark Summoning paytable uses standard card ranks as low-value filler and a set of occult-themed premiums for the meaningful payouts. Understanding each symbol group helps you read the cascade chains as they build.

Low Value Symbols

The low-value tier runs 10 through Ace, the familiar card ranks you see across most Hacksaw Gaming releases. They award modest wins and exist mainly to fill the 5x6 grid between premium hits. Because the grid is unusually tall, low-pays can still appear in multi-symbol cascades that clock up decent totals when a multiplier Wild sits nearby.

• 10
• J
• Q
• K
• A card ranks

High Value Symbols

Five premium symbols carry the weight of non-feature wins: a bloody pair of scissors, a large fly, a crow in flight, an obsidian pyramid, and a stylised goat face. The goat face sits at the top of the pay table. Each of these awards meaningfully more than the card ranks for three-to-five symbol combinations on the 24 paylines, with the gap between the weakest premium and the best card rank being significant enough to make premium-heavy cascades the primary target.

• bloody scissors
• fly
• crow
• pyramid
• goat face

Special Symbols

Dark Summoning splits its Wild into two variants by bonus mode. The blue Wild appears in the base game and during Rise to Salvation free spins; it substitutes for all paying symbols and arrives pre-loaded with a multiplier value in the 2x to 100x range. The red Wild is exclusive to Trial by Hellfire, carrying the same multiplier range but visually tied to the reversed-cascade environment. Two special Lost Soul symbols also land: the Global Multiplier Lost Soul applies its value across the entire round win, while the Cash Prize Lost Soul deposits a direct cash amount into the payout. The Order scatter triggers Will of the Order on landing. The Unholy scatter is the bonus trigger, needing three in one round to activate free spins.

• Blue Wild (base game + Rise to Salvation bonus)
• Red Wild (Trial by Hellfire bonus)
• Wild multipliers 2x-100x
• Global Multiplier Lost Soul
• Cash Prize Lost Soul
• Order scatter
• Unholy scatter

Dark Summoning Bonus Feature & Special Features

Super Cascades

Super Cascades run on every spin in the base game and throughout both bonus modes. When a winning combination lands, the contributing symbols are removed from the 5x6 grid and new symbols fall down from above to fill the gaps. The cascade continues as long as each new set of symbols produces at least one fresh winning combination. A single opening spin can therefore chain into five or six cascades, with each successive wave potentially adding its own multiplier Wild hits. The player-facing benefit is that a single spin can return multiple win payouts without costing an additional bet, making the tall 5x6 layout work in your favour when high-value symbols cluster in the upper rows.

Will of the Order

Will of the Order fires whenever an Order scatter symbol appears anywhere on the 5x6 grid during a spin or cascade. The scatter replaces itself and converts two to ten surrounding symbols into Wild symbols before the win calculation runs. If two or more Order scatters land simultaneously, the feature triggers independently for each one, stacking Wild conversions before a single payout is assessed. This means a spin with three Order scatters can theoretically convert thirty symbols into Wilds. Because each converted Wild carries a multiplier, the cascade that follows can layer multiple multiplied wins from a single original scatter.

Rise to Salvation Free Spins

Rise to Salvation activates when three Unholy scatter symbols land during the same base-game round, awarding 10 free spins. In this mode, blue Wild multipliers are the primary driver: each Wild that lands carries a value in the 2x to 100x range and applies to any winning combination it contributes to. Global Multiplier Lost Soul symbols accumulate across cascades, compounding the final round win. Super Cascades remain active throughout, so a single free spin can chain into several cascades, each one potentially encountering a new multiplier Wild drop. The 10,666x max win for Dark Summoning is reachable primarily through this bonus when high-value multiplier Wilds stack on premium symbol combinations.

Trial by Hellfire Free Spins

Trial by Hellfire is the harder-to-trigger alternative bonus, activated when three Unholy scatters land AND an Order scatter is present on the grid when the third Unholy appears. It also awards 10 free spins, but the defining difference from Rise to Salvation is the reversed cascade direction: symbols now travel upward rather than downward when wins clear. The red Wild variant replaces the blue Wild in this mode, carrying the same multiplier range but behaving according to the upward drop pattern. Reversed cascades change how you read the grid because high-paying symbols that settle near the bottom during normal play now float upward, potentially crossing paths with multiplier Wilds positioned in the upper rows.
