Hounds of Hell

ABOUT THE GAME

Descend into the underworld, where death reigns over scorched lands and fires burn to the beat of war drums, and prepare to face the fiercest creatures: the Hounds of Hell!

This 5-reel, 5-row game with scatter wins challenges you to face these ferocious beasts with every drop and cascade. Hear their howls, face the hellish flames, and perhaps come face-to-face with the top prize of 20,000x your bet!

The top prize can be achieved in all game modes.

FUNCTIONS

HELL DOGS

Hellhound symbols are cash prize multipliers that expand and collect before multiplying with your bet.

At the end of each spin, the Hellhound symbols landed expand to the top of their respective reel. All Hellhound symbols will then display a multiplier value. All multipliers will be collected from bottom to top, from left to right, and will be displayed above each corresponding reel.

The multiplier values collected on each reel will be added together and multiplied by your bet to determine the final prize awarded.

There are two types of Hellhound symbols: Adders and Multipliers. Collected multipliers either add to the current total at the top of the reel or multiply the current total.

The possible multiplier values that can appear on Hellhound symbols are:

Adders: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x

Multipliers: x2, x3, x4, x5, x10

Only 1 Hellhound symbol can land on a reel at a time.

ROARING HERDS OF HELL

If two or more Hellhound symbols appear on adjacent reels and in the same row (horizontally adjacent), they form a Roaring Pack, and their potential multiplier values increase. Expanding Hellhound symbols from a Hellhound that is part of a Roaring Pack will also be considered part of the Pack.

The possible multiplier values that can appear on Hellhound symbols that are part of a Roaring Pack are:

Adders: 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x

Multipliers: x3, x4, x5, x10, x20

If a Hellhound has been part of a Roaring Pack, it will remain part of the Pack even if it separates and ends up on a different row as a result of winning symbol cascades.

THE HOUNDS ARE LOOSE

The Bloodhounds Are Loose can be triggered randomly on a spin once the grid is established and no new wins are formed. When the Bloodhounds Are Loose appears, all low-paying symbols are removed and new symbols fall in to take their place. The Bloodhounds Are Loose can be triggered multiple times per spin.

After the Hounds Are Loose removes all low-paying symbols, there is a higher chance of Hellhound symbols landing among the new symbols that land.

BET BONUS

Whenever you enter a bonus game, you have the option to continue directly to the bonus game or gamble. If you choose to gamble, you'll be presented with 5 Hellfire Orbs to choose from.

You can choose up to 3 Hellfire Orbs, and each Orb can contain between 2 and 10 free spins, or a Bonus Upgrade if you're in the WHAT THE HELL! Bonus. If a Bonus Upgrade is found, the bonus will immediately upgrade to the WHO LET THE HOUNDS OUT?!? Bonus with 10 free spins.

You can wager once per bonus and after a Bonus Upgrade.

WHAT THE HELL!

Activate this bonus with 10 free spins by landing 3 FS scatter symbols at the same time during the base game.

This bonus game retains the features of the base game, but all multiplier values collected from the Hellhounds remain on the reels until the end of the round and can be progressively increased. At the end of the bonus game, the collected multipliers are added together and multiplied by your bet to determine the final prize awarded.

In the bonus game, the Hellhounds Are Loose bonus is guaranteed after 3 consecutive spins without a win. A spin is considered a winless spin if it has no regular symbol wins or Hellhound symbols landed.

Landing additional FS symbols at the same time awards additional free spins:

2 FS symbols award +2 free spins, 3 FS symbols award +4 free spins.

WHO LET THE HOUNDS OUT?!?

Activate this bonus with 10 free spins by landing 4 FS scatter symbols at the same time during the base game.

This bonus game retains the features of the base game and has persistently activated hellish reels.

This bonus also includes the enhanced Bloodhounds Are Loose feature from the WHAT THE HELL! bonus.

When a Hellhound lands on a reel for the first time, that reel becomes an activated Hellhound reel. A Hellhound symbol is guaranteed to land on each activated Hellhound reel on each free spin until the end of the bonus.

In this bonus, Hellhounds multipliers are added together and paid out multiplied by your bet at the end of each free spin, and the total multipliers on each reel are reset to 0 between spins.

Landing additional FS symbols at the same time awards additional free spins:

2 FS symbols award +2 free spins, 3 FS symbols award +4 free spins.
