Faith

Overview of Faith slot

Faith is the latest slot from the developers at Pariplay and is based upon the legendary superhero character from Valiant Comics. On the surface Faith is a regular human being however she is a superhero called Zephyr and she invites you to join her on a thrilling reel adventure as you battle to protect the earth from a villain invasion. Valiant Entertainment is complete with many amazing characters, founded by the former editor in chief of Marvel Comics, Jim Shooter. Faith is one of the most notable protagonists in the universe. Faith is a regular journalist based in sunny Los Angeles, and she had a great interest in science fiction and used to dream about being a superhero from her comic books. Her fantasy became reality one day when a man used his powers to investigate her mind and awakened her ability to fly and gave her all the other superhero powers.

Theme and Design

Now you know the background of this slot we can move on. The slot is set at the Faiths desk in the journalist’s office. The aesthetics in the game are superb and Pariplay have done a good job of designing and executing some stunning comic styled drawings. The graphics are superb and excellently executed as is the soundtrack which is a classy relaxing beat that moves with you through the base game, however the music quickens and is full of suspense when you hit the bonus features, and this adds a super touch of drama to the gameplay.

Game Play and Statistics

Faith from Pariplay plays out over a 5x4 reel set and offers all ways to pay which means that there is a massive 1024 pay lines which are always active. As in most of Pariplay slots Faith has two return to players and is powered by a highly volatile math model with a payback percentage that starts from 94.24% up to 96.44% and because of this you should ensure that you check the statistics as operators can choose to offer either version. Depending on the return to player level the hit rate is 17.66% or 18.13% respectively. When it comes to choosing your bet, this starts from a minimum of $0.1 per spin up to $10 per spin and the top prize available is 20,480x your bet.

Symbols

When it comes to the symbols you can expect to come across 10 regular symbols which are split into low and high payers. The low paying symbols are made up of the usual playing cards Ace through to 10 whereas the premiums include Faith's badge and other superhero characters from the Valiant Comics universe including Kris Hathaway, Torque, Livewire, and Faith's lover Obadiah Archer. To create a win, you must land at least three of the same symbols and full combinations are achieved when you land five of the same symbols on a single pay line.

The simple pay outs are quite low with the low paying symbols awarding you 1.1x to 1.5x for landing 5 of a kind and the higher paying symbols from 2x to 15x. The wild symbols in this game can assist you to form winning combinations as they can substitute for any of the other regular symbols to create winning combinations and they also pay 20x your stake if you land five on the same line.

Bonus Features

This slot has a deceiving appearance as it may seem as though it is noticeably light on features and does not provide any kind of innovation in terms of gameplay. However, this is far from the truth as the slot can deliver huge amounts of fun as well as staggering wins. The wilds play a pivotal role in the gameplay as they do not only help you to win to form winning combinations, but they also lead you into the reel spins feature. When you land a wild anywhere on your reels it will leave a marked symbol behind, when all four positions on a single reel have been marked the entire reel will change into a sticky expanded wild and reward you with three free spins. When you land new wild symbols the number of re-spins reset to three, and the feature will continue until you have no spins left, plus if you do not manage to land a win in the feature you will be awarded with a consolation prize of two times your bet.

The next feature is the free spins which can be activated when you land three or more scatters anywhere in view during the base game and doing so will award you with 12 free spins. The bonus game operates in the same way as the base game however the sticky expanded wild re-spins feature is guaranteed when playing the free spin feature any reel that has more marked positions will transform into a sticky expanded wild on the last free spin and activate the re-spins feature, and even better a random multiplier of 2x to 8x will be applied to all wins within the re-spins and the new multiplier will be added in case another reel is converted into a wild.

Conclusion

Faith shows the prowess of the development team at Pariplay, it not only gives players many reasons to spin the reels, but it blends exciting gameplay and solid graphics perfectly as well as offering a balanced math model which results in a slot that I feel will be played by a wide audience. Although this is not the first Pariplay comic book inspired slot this slot certainly has all the odds of making it into a real favourite amongst players. I enjoyed playing faith immensely, it provided excitement and some excellent gameplay and with this in mind I would rate this as a solid 9/10 and have no hesitation in recommending it to other players.
