Cloudforge Slot Review and Free Demo

What Cloudforge is

Relax Gaming released Cloudforge in October 2026, announcing it on 8 October. The setting is a steampunk sky: a gas mask wearing engineer, drones and airships above the clouds. The grid is 6 reels by 5 rows with 20 fixed paylines, and the whole design centers on one mechanic, the expanding multiplier wild.

Relax describes the game as built for casual players, with frequent wins and simple rules. That fits what you see on the reels. There are no cluster counts or ways to track, just paylines, wilds that climb and a multiplier number you can read off each wild.

The default build runs at 96.1% RTP, the maximum win is 10,000x the bet, and bets go from 0.10 to 100 per spin.

How a spin works step by step

1. Set the bet. Choose a stake between 0.10 and 100. All 20 lines are always active.
2. Thirty symbols land. Six reels of five rows.
3. Wilds expand. Any wild that lands grows upward toward the top of the reel, gaining +1x multiplier for each step it climbs.
4. Electric reels act. If a wild lands on an electrified reel, it expands up, then down until it fills the reel, and then its multiplier doubles.
5. Lines are evaluated. A payline win needs matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel. Only the longest match per symbol on a line is paid, and wins on different lines add up.
6. Wild multipliers apply. Wins that run through a wild are boosted by that wild's multiplier.

The wild substitutes for regular symbols. Because it can cover up to five rows once expanded, a single tall wild can sit on several of the 20 lines at once.

Expanding wilds explained with an example

Wilds arrive with a multiplier already attached, and they get stronger as they move. The rules are simple: every step of the upward expansion adds 1x. Our multiplier guide covers how this compares with other designs.

Worked example. Suppose a wild lands in row four of reel 3 showing x1. It climbs to row three (x2), row two (x3) and row one (x4), so it now covers four positions at x4. A line win that runs through it and would normally pay 1.50 at your stake now pays 6.00. If that wild had landed in the bottom row, it would have had one more step to climb and finished at x5.

The takeaway: low landing positions are worth more, because the wild has further to travel. A wild that lands in the top row has nowhere to go and keeps its starting value.

Coinciding wilds and electric reels

Coinciding wilds. If two wilds land on the same reel, the upper one expands first, then the lower one. When the two meet, their multipliers multiply rather than add. Two wilds that end at x3 and x2 become one x6 column, which is where the bigger base game wins come from.

Electric reels. In the base game and in Extermination Spins, random reels can become electric. A wild landing on one expands to the top, then back down to the bottom so it fills the reel, and once the expansion is complete its multiplier doubles. A wild that lands in row three, climbs two steps and then fills the reel would double whatever value it reached. Electric reels are the reason a modest looking wild can suddenly pay many times a normal line hit.

A full base game spin worked through

Here is how the pieces combine on one spin, using illustrative values at a 1.00 stake. Two wilds land on reel 2, one in row two and one in row five. Reel 4 happens to be electric, and a third wild lands there in row three.

1. On reel 2 the upper wild expands first: one step to row one, so it ends at x2 if it started at x1.
2. The lower wild then climbs from row five. After three steps it meets the first one at x4. The two values multiply, giving a single column worth x8.
3. On reel 4 the electric wild climbs two steps to x3, expands down to fill the reel, then doubles to x6.
4. A line of three matching symbols runs from reel 1 through the x8 column on reel 2 to reel 3. If that line normally pays 0.50, it now pays 4.00.

Lines that reach the x6 wild on reel 4 are boosted by it in the same way. How two different wild multipliers combine when one line runs through both is set out in the game rules, so check that screen in the demo before you assume a figure.

Extermination Spins and Eradication Spins

Cloudforge has two free spins rounds, both 8 spins long.

In both rounds the global multiplier grows as wilds land and is applied to every win for the rest of the round. Relax describes the effect as progressive: each new wild has the chance to push the feature further. That makes early wilds in the round especially valuable, because everything after them benefits.

The Super Scatter is what separates the two rounds. Land two normal scatters and one Super Scatter and you go to Eradication Spins, where one reel is electric on every spin, so wilds that land there always fill the reel and double.

The Supercharge menu

Cloudforge bundles its paid options into a Supercharge menu, available in the base game only. None of them can be combined with each other.

The Enhanced Bet works like an ante bet. The rules text gives two different figures for how much it boosts the trigger chance, so check the exact factor in the rules of the game you open. The bonus buy prices are fixed at 80x and 200x of the reference bet. Separate RTP values for each option are displayed in the game rules.

Bonus Reels are the most unusual choice. For 10x per spin, the game removes every paying symbol and only scatters and blanks can land. You will not win anything from lines, but the chance of reaching a bonus rises sharply.

RTP, volatility and max win

The default Cloudforge build runs at 96.1% RTP. Relax also lists alternative game IDs ending in 94, 92 and 90, plus a UK version ending in 86, which points to lower RTP builds for operators who choose them. The game info screen shows the value of the version you are playing.

Relax has not published a volatility rating. The maximum win is 10,000x your bet. If the sum of all values in free spins reaches 10,000x, the round ends and pays the full cap.

How Cloudforge compares

Next to Relax's own Money Train 2, Cloudforge is far simpler: no persistent collector symbols, just wilds, multipliers and lines. It is closer in spirit to classic expanding wild slots, with the multiplier growth as the twist. If you prefer games where you can predict the outcome of a spin the moment the wilds stop, it is a good pick.

How to test it in the free demo

• Play 200 spins and note where wilds tend to land. Bottom row landings are worth noticeably more.
• Watch for electric reels and compare the final multiplier of wilds on them with ordinary wilds.
• Try a few spins of Bonus Reels with play money to see how often a bonus actually lands at 10x per spin.
• Read the rules screen for the RTP of each Supercharge option, the bet limits and the max win wording.

With no published volatility rating, set a stake that lets you play a few hundred spins before judging the game.
