The Grim Reaper Slot Review

The Grim Reaper Slot Overview

The Grim Reaper is a 5-reel, 3-row, 10-payline video slot from Quickspin that follows the angel of death on his nightly shift through a graveyard. I like how the morbid, hooded figure and his scythe frame the whole experience, while the collected souls carry straight cash values. The main draw for me is the mix of Soul Respins and progressive free spins that ramp up towards sticky Wilds.

Stakes span from 0.10 to 100 per spin, suiting low and high rollers alike. The default RTP sits at 96.10%, with lower settings of 94.19%, 92.07%, and 85.13% also mentioned in the specs, so I always check the in-game help. Volatility leans towards the medium bracket, with a base hit rate of 20.84% and a capped maximum win of 5,360 times the bet.

The Grim Reaper Slot Information

The action in The Grim Reaper takes place at an ancient gateway in a graveyard, wrapped in a somber aura of death and spooky green mist. A stone-framed portal marks the reels, with forgotten tombstones and a tense, wailing soundtrack in the background. Wins land when three to five matching symbols connect on one of the ten lines from the leftmost reel, and the game runs smoothly on desktop, mobile, and tablets.

The Grim Reaper Symbols and Paytable

The Grim Reaper uses two clear sets of paying symbols. At the low end you get bony card ranks 10, J, Q, K, and A, which pay between 2x and 7.5x the stake for a full line of five. Premiums fit the theme better; a trapped soul, crucifix, green potion, hourglass, and bell award from 10x up to 75x the bet when you hit five of a kind.

The Wild in The Grim Reaper is the Reaper himself and can pay up to 150 times the bet for five on a line while substituting for all regular symbols. The pink glowing portal acts as the Scatter and launches the free spins when three or more appear. Soul symbols also matter a lot, as they carry cash values from 1x to 25x the bet that the Wild can collect.

The Grim Reaper Slot Features

Soul Respins in The Grim Reaper revolve around those cash-laden Soul symbols. They can show values of 1x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x, or 25x the bet. When at least one Soul lands together with a Wild, a respin may trigger at random. The Wild and any Souls lock in place while the rest of the grid spins again, and new Souls extend the feature with more respins.

Once a Soul Respin run ends, every Wild on the reels collects the visible Soul values and pays their combined total as a single win. I have had screens where several Souls stack up around one Wild, and the collect hit feels very direct. This mechanic keeps the base game engaging, as any spin with Souls and a Wild can swing into a satisfying little cash harvest.

Free spins in The Grim Reaper come in three stages. Three Scatters award The Gathering, where any spin that shows a Wild and at least one Soul will always trigger Soul Respins, and collecting six Wilds adds a spin and upgrades you to Raise of Souls. Four Scatters jump straight to that middle stage, and another six collected Wilds then move you into Reaper Harvest, where every new Wild turns sticky.

Bonus Buy Feature in The Grim Reaper

The Grim Reaper also offers a Feature Buy menu for those sessions when I want straight access to the action. An Extra Bet costs 2x stake and gives a much higher chance of Soul Respins, while The Gathering, Raise the Souls, and Reaper Harvest bonuses cost 45x, 100x, and 250x the bet. Their stated RTP nudges slightly upwards, sitting around the 96.5% mark for the top tier.

The Grim Reaper Slot Verdict

The Grim Reaper felt to me like a darker re-skin of a lighter fishing-style Quickspin slot that uses the same cash collection engine. Instead of hauling fish, you ride along as the Reaper tracks souls and slices them off the grid for tidy payouts. I enjoy the way respins, collection hits, and staged free spins all interlink, so the slot rarely feels flat even during colder patches.

With a 5,360x max win and medium-leaning variance, The Grim Reaper sits in that space where you can grind smaller wins yet still hope for a serious hit from a souped-up Reaper Harvest bonus. I would not class it as ultra brutal, but it can go quiet while you chase the right combination of Souls and Wilds. If you like spooky themes and cash collection, it is well worth a spin.
