A goblin, a gunship and a sky full of midges
Relax Gaming went cartoon rather than cinematic. The goblin captain is the top-paying symbol and comfortably the most memorable thing on the reels, while orbs, compasses, telescopes, fuel canisters and pistols handle the low end.
It is a genuinely unusual visual world, and it never explains itself. Nobody tells you why a goblin is picking bugs out of the clouds from a flying warship, and the game is happy to leave that hanging. The presentation sits a rung below the studio’s flagship work, and it can feel clunky in motion, but originality still counts for something on a shelf full of gold-trimmed Egypt reels.
How does the Cloudforge Slot Demo play?
Cloudforge plays across six reels and five rows with 20 fixed paylines. Twenty lines feels dated for a 2020s release, and it is the first thing that marks the game as more conventional than its art suggests. The grid is described as 6x5, though one published spec sheet lists six rows, so glance at the in-game info panel if the layout matters to you.
The bet range runs from 0.10 to 100 per spin and the default RTP is 96.1%. Volatility is published as medium-high in one place and high in another, which is a gap worth knowing about before you size a session. The maximum win is 10,000x the bet.
Symbol pays are modest by design. Six matching orbs return 4x to 8x the bet, six matching high symbols including the captain pay 12.5x to 50x, and a full line of six wilds also pays 50x. Base spins frequently fail to string anything together, and pairing an electrified reel with a wild is harder to hit than you would like, so the wild feature carries the whole game and does not always show up for work.
Bonus features and buys
Expanding Multiplier Wilds are the engine. A wild expands upward through its reel, adding +1 to its multiplier per step, and with two wilds on one reel the top one expands first, then the bottom, with their values multiplying where they meet.
Electric Reels are the twist. Any reel can become electrified in the base game or free spins, and a wild landing there expands to the top of the reel and then back down to the bottom, doubling its visible multiplier along the way.
Three scatters trigger Extermination Spins: eight free spins where every multiplier a wild generates feeds a single global multiplier applied to all wins that round, with three more scatters adding three spins. Two scatters plus a super scatter award Eradication Spins, the same eight spins and the same global multiplier, but with one random reel guaranteed electrified for the whole feature.
The Supercharge menu offers five routes in: 3x stake for one guaranteed wild, 15x for two, 10x for Bonus Reels that strip out regular paying symbols to improve your odds of reaching a bonus, 80x for Extermination Spins and 200x for Eradication Spins. Separately, Enhanced Bet raises your stake by 2.5x and quadruples the natural chance of triggering Extermination Spins.
⚠️ Worth Knowing: Eradication Spins costs 200x stake to buy directly, which is steep for eight spins even with a guaranteed electric reel. At the 100 maximum bet that is a 20,000 purchase. The 80x Extermination buy is the far more realistic door in.

What are the best casinos for Cloudforge?
Any site carrying the studio’s catalogue should have this one, and our Relax Gaming casinos page lists the operators that do, with licensing and payment details attached so you can filter before you register.
Because the buy menu tops out at 200x stake, bonus terms matter more here than they would on a slot without one. Some welcome offers exclude feature purchases outright or cap the bet you can place while wagering, so read the terms on our casino bonuses hub before you deposit with a buy strategy in mind. If you would rather compare operators on their own merits first, the full online casinos directory is the faster route.
Play the Cloudforge Slot Demo for free
The Cloudforge Slot Demo above runs the full game in play-money mode: real symbol pays, both free spins modes, the whole Supercharge menu and Enhanced Bet. Nothing is locked off, which makes it a genuinely useful trial rather than a teaser.
Spend the demo credits on the thing you cannot judge from a paytable, which is how often an electric reel and a wild actually turn up together. Then price the buys against that. Our demo slots library has the rest of the studio’s catalogue if this one leaves you cold, and the upcoming slots page tracks what is coming next.
💡 Tip: Run 200 demo spins at flat stake before touching the buy menu. That gives you an honest read on how dry the base game gets between wild landings, which is the single biggest factor in whether the 80x Extermination buy looks cheap or reckless.
Pros and cons
| ✅ Pros | ❌ Cons |
|---|
| Overlapping wild multipliers that multiply rather than add | Base game often fails to link meaningful wins |
| Electric reels double a wild’s multiplier and fill the reel both ways | Electric reel plus wild is hard to line up |
| Global multiplier in both free spins modes can build high | 20 fixed paylines feel dated |
| 10,000x max win | Eradication Spins buy is a hefty 200x |
| Theme nobody else is running | Presentation trails the studio’s better releases |
Verdict
- The wild mechanic is the real thing: multiplying overlaps and two-way electrified expansion are a proper twist, not a reskin.
- Base spins do not hold up their end, and too much of the entertainment is deferred until a wild lands.
- Free spins are where the maths gets interesting, thanks to the global multiplier collecting everything the wilds produce.
- The 200x Eradication buy is priced for a much bigger game than this one feels like.
- A good demo candidate and a cautious real-money one.
Best for: players who enjoy multiplier-wild slots and want a theme they have not seen forty times.
Skip if: you need a base game that pays its own way, or 20 paylines on a six-reel grid bothers you.
Summary
In summary, Cloudforge is a 6x5, 20-payline Relax Gaming slot with a 96.1% RTP, a 10,000x maximum win and stakes from 0.10 to 100. Expanding multiplier wilds gain +1 per step, multiply together when two meet on a reel, and double on electrified reels that fill both directions. Extermination Spins and Eradication Spins each award eight spins with a global multiplier. The mechanic is inventive and the theme is unlike anything else, but the base game leans on wilds too heavily and the 200x feature buy is expensive.
Last call from the cockpit
An odd little game with one very good idea in it, and the honest read is that the idea outpaces the slot built around it. Try the demo, decide whether the wild landings come often enough for your taste, and if you do move to real money, set a budget and stick to it.
