Necromancer’s Gate Slot Review
SlotTribe 250 Spin Test – Date: 3 October 2026 – Result: –198.20 – Bonuses: 1 – Biggest Win: 5x
Overview
Necromancer’s Gate drags you into a world of dark magic, skulls, cursed multipliers and a bonus round that promises danger but, in our session, delivered absolutely nothing. Relax Gaming built this as a 25,000x max‑win slot with expanding reel sets, Mystery Skulls, coin reveals and multipliers that can supposedly climb into the thousands. On paper it looks like a proper high‑volatility shadow realm. In reality, it behaved like a wet candle in a haunted basement.
The base game revolves around Mystery Skulls that sit on the reels waiting to be cracked open by landing a Ghoul symbol. When a Ghoul hits, the skulls reveal coin prizes or multipliers up to 10x. It’s simple, and when it triggers it adds a bit of movement — but when it doesn’t, the slot feels like it’s just idling.
The bonus takes you through the Necromancer’s gate into a 5×7 expanded reel set where you collect Mystery Skulls for a final reveal. Up to 26 skulls can drop, each carrying coin prizes or multipliers that can climb to 1,000x and beyond. There’s also a Chaos Spins twist if a Scatter appears during the coin feature, dragging you deeper into the abyss for a more volatile round.
It all sounds dramatic, but none of that drama showed up in our test. The slot stayed cold, flat, and painfully uneventful from start to finish.

Mick’s Take
Awful slot — just awful. Hit the bonus on spin 67 and it paid 1x, which is honestly insulting for a slot pretending to be dark, dangerous and full of potential. Highest win was a 5x. Nothing good to say about this slot at all. It felt lifeless, slow, and completely uninterested in doing anything. One of those sessions where you’re staring at the screen thinking, “Why am I even here?” Necromancer’s Gate didn’t just underperform — it barely woke up.

Gameplay & Features
Mystery Skulls
Mystery Skulls sit on the reels waiting to be activated. When a Ghoul symbol lands, it cracks open the skulls and reveals coin prizes or multipliers up to 10x. It’s the main base‑game interaction, but it can go long stretches without doing anything.
Ghoul Activations
Ghouls act as the trigger for Mystery Skulls. Without them, the skulls just sit there doing nothing. When they do land, you get a small burst of action — but in our session, even these moments were tiny and forgettable.
Free Spins – Expanded Reel Set
Triggering Free Spins takes you through the Necromancer’s gate into a 5×7 reel layout. Here you collect up to 26 Mystery Skulls for a final reveal. The idea is that the more skulls you gather, the bigger the final payout can be.
Colossal Multipliers
Inside the bonus, multipliers can climb to 1,000x and beyond. These are tied to the skull reveals and coin prizes. In theory, this is where the slot’s top‑end potential comes from. In practice, we didn’t see anything close.
Coin Feature & Chaos Spins
If a Scatter appears during the coin feature, you’re dragged into Chaos Spins — a more volatile extension of the bonus. This is meant to be the “deep abyss” moment of the slot, but again, our session didn’t show it.
Enhanced Bet, Bonus Reels & Buys
Relax Gaming included Enhanced Bet, Bonus Reels, Bonus Buy and Super Bonus Buy options. They add flexibility, but they don’t fix the core issue: the slot feels dead when it’s cold.
Volatility & Behaviour
Necromancer’s Gate plays like a high‑volatility slot that forgot to include the volatility. Instead of big swings, it delivered tiny wins and long stretches of nothing. The base game barely moved, the bonus paid 1x, and the features felt like they were switched off. It’s the kind of behaviour that makes a slot feel hollow — all theme, no punch.
Graphics & Sound
Visually, the slot looks good. Dark magic, glowing skulls, eerie colours, and a proper necromancer vibe. Sound design fits the theme with ominous tones and spooky effects. Relax always nails presentation — the problem is the gameplay doesn’t match the atmosphere.
What It Does Well
- Strong theme and visuals
- Clean Relax Gaming presentation
- Expanded reel bonus concept
- Potential for big multipliers (in theory)
What It Does Badly
- Bonus paid 1x
- Highest win was 5x
- Base game feels lifeless
- Features rarely activate
- Long dead stretches
- No excitement, no momentum
Who It’s For
Players who enjoy:
- Dark magic themes
- High‑volatility slots (when they actually behave)
- Skull and multiplier mechanics
- Relax Gaming’s visual style
But honestly — this one is for players who really like the theme and don’t mind cold sessions.
SlotTribe Verdict
Necromancer’s Gate looks great but plays terribly. Our session was one of the worst we’ve had on a Relax release — a 1x bonus, a 5x highest win, and nearly 200 down after 250 spins. The slot has big potential on paper, but none of it showed up. If you’re chasing atmosphere, fine. If you’re chasing wins or excitement, this gate leads nowhere.
