Ribs Golden Crypt
Day 33: Ribs’ Golden Crypt by Slotmill. A Halloween cluster slot where a skeleton hides his treasure behind avalanches, Giant Symbols and Multiplier Meteors, with a 10,000x max win. Every one of my 5 bonuses paid over 100x, and a 255x base game hit in the last 15 spins ended a 7 day losing streak. APPROVED.

Day 33 - Ribs Golden Crypt - Slot Review
On day 33, I took on Ribs’ Golden Crypt by Slotmill, the studio’s newest game, released just in time for Halloween. You play with Ribs, a quirky skeleton who keeps a rather impressive treasure collection deep underground in his Golden Crypt. When you find the keys (the scatters), you unlock his crypt and find the treasure.
It’s a 6x6 cluster pay game with avalanches and a 10,000x max multiplier potential.
There are no paylines here. You win by matching 5 or more identical symbols that touch each other. The winning symbols explode, new ones drop in to fill the gaps, and the avalanche keeps going as long as new wins appear. Every spin with a cluster win also creates a Wild in a random empty position, so the grid gets more helpful as the crypt fills up.
The big symbols are what make the game fun. Giant Symbols arrive carrying a multiplier from x2 to x10, and whenever they are part of a win, their value is added to the Win Multiplier. Then there are the Multiplier Meteors, which can carry anything from x2 all the way up to x100. When they land during a winning round, they stay on the grid and wait until the avalanches stop. After that, all the active Meteor multipliers are added together and applied to the current Win Multiplier.
Finding 3, 4 or 5 Bonus Keys unlocks the Free Spins: 8, 10 or 12 of them. The key to this bonus (pun intended) is that the Win Multiplier carries over from spin to spin, so you have the chance to build an enormous multiplier before the feature comes to an end.
The plan for winning is to keep the avalanches going, get a Giant Symbol or Meteor into the mix, and in the bonus let the Win Multiplier grow from spin to spin. A long chain of wins with a few big multipliers on the grid is where the 10,000x lives.
During my 1000 spins, I triggered the bonus 5 times in total: twice with 3 keys and 3 times with 4 keys. The biggest win multiplier in the bonuses was 223x, and every one of them paid over 100x.
Yet the treasure was hiding in the base game. In the last 15 spins of the session, I landed a juicy 255x win. After a 7 day losing streak, the profit day finally arrived.
Both the bonus round and the base game are so much fun, and you can hit a decent multiplier in either mode.
1000 Spins APPROVED! Slotmill is so underrated.
