Demons are identified by a bold red Gobby icon on the projection board. Demons are high-difficulty projections that can rocket your max payout up to 1000x your Lineup fee if you pick correctly. You must pick “More” on a Demon projection.

Goblins are identified by a green Gobby icon on the projection board and they’re designed to keep you in the green. These are safer picks that make it easier to land consistent victories.
