About Faust

This 5×3, 10-payline slot from Novomatic draws inspiration from the German legend of Faust. The reels feature Faust himself, Gretchen, and Mephisto, who acts as both scatter and substitute. Landing three or more Mephisto symbols triggers 10 Free Games with a randomly chosen Special Expanding Symbol styled as golden parchment. After regular wins are paid, it can expand to cover three positions per reel and pay across all lines, even from non-adjacent spots when enough copies appear. Volatility is rated high on the official Game Facts screen, with top wins reaching ×5000 for five Faust symbols, followed by Gretchen, two mid-tier pictorial icons, and lower classic card royals.

During the Free Games, one random regular symbol turns into a Special Expanding Symbol. When it appears, it expands to fill the entire reel and pays on all 10 lines, even from non-adjacent positions.

Mephisto scatter symbol

Mephisto serves as both the scatter and a substitute symbol. Landing three or more anywhere on the reels triggers 10 free games with a randomly chosen special expanding symbol. During free games, Mephisto substitutes for all symbols except the chosen expander, increasing the win potential. As a scatter, it also pays independently of paylines — 3, 4, or 5 Mephisto symbols award ×2, ×20, and ×200 respectively.

How to Play Faust

Faust uses a 5×3 grid with 10 paylines. Choose your stake, select up to 10 lines, and press Start for a single spin or Autoplay for continuous spins. The paytable shows exact multipliers from low royals up to the ×5000 Faust 5-of-a-kind. Mephisto is key: three or more anywhere trigger 10 Free Games, and he also substitutes for regular symbols (except the Special Expanding Symbol during Free Games). At the start of Free Games, one symbol is randomly chosen to become Special and can expand to cover its reel after line wins are paid, awarding wins on all lines even from non-adjacent positions when enough copies land. This “expanding-book” style feature is the main route to big hits. The volatility indicator on the Game Facts screen suggests high swings, so consider conservative stakes if you want longer sessions while you hunt for Free Games; increase only when aiming for peak outcomes like five Faust (×5000) or expanded premiums during the feature. Use the paytable and More Info buttons to review rules at any time and adjust lines or stake to match your bankroll strategy.

Devil’s deal and a screaming expanding symbol

Grabbed a new-player bonus and took Faust for a spin — couldn’t resist the Mephisto vibes. First impression: moody lab glass, blue glow, and that confident 10-line layout. You can feel the volatility right away; base hits were mostly royals until a Gretchen line popped for ×40 and kept me afloat. Then boom — three Mephistos. Free Games started and the special expanding symbol rolled in. Mine was the A, but it still delivered: one spin expanded across two reels and paid on all lines, then the next brought three copies and counted from non-adjacent spots — super satisfying. Closest to a heart-stopper was a base game tease: four Fausts landed and the fifth reel flashed past… that would’ve been ×5000, I actually yelled. Still, Free Games added steady wins and I finished up thanks to a chunky ×200 scatter hit mixed with expansions. Feels swingy but fair — big ceiling with that expanding mechanic. I’d play again, especially with another batch of free spins to chase a premium as the special symbol.
