Gates of Hellfire Slot

Are there any 80’s metal, fantasy, Dungeons and Dragons geeks out there? Well, welcome to your new favorite online slot – Gates of Hellfire, brought to you by Gaming Corps. Yeah, I’d never heard of this developer either. I usually don’t look at how the game plays until that part of the review where I write about it. But I was so intrigued by what I was looking at that I played a spin and was like, “Oh, okay.”

Now, this is the first Gaming Corps slot machine I have played, and boy, what a refreshing feeling it is to have a software developer who understands entertainment, creativity, and hardcore kickassery. You can Urban Dictionary that one, folks, if you aren’t down with the jive talk.

This Gates of Hellfire review will detail all the gaming and software information and provide you with free access to the official demo. Spoiler Alert: The demo is only free to players who set up their free account with Casinos.com.

Let’s jump right into the game and figure out what on earth Gaming Corps has created because games like Gates of Hellfire only come around once in a decade.

The Gates of Hellfire slot by Gaming Corp looks like something out of a fantasy comic. I’m talking malevolent evil, castles, orcs, and trolls. It’s the World of Warcraft meets all things Lovecraftian. The design is unlike anything you have seen before and I am talking about the game itself. I’m not even sure how to describe this, but you have the slot made up of 5 rows and 5 reels and there is an additional row below which is a Weapons Reel. Surrounding this is a wall that shows three skull symbols: left, top, and right. These highlight bonus scatter symbols that have landed on the reels.

Outside the wall and on top of the slot grid are three boss monsters you may have to battle. To the top right is the HellBox, which awards modifier features to help you win more. Oh, and one last thing: the slot can expand to host 7 rows and 7 reels.

Now, the Gates of Hellfire slot does look uniquely different, and while there is a whole lot of “What the hell?” going on, the rules of play are very simple. First, you need to set your bet, and you can do this by selecting Bet or using the + and – buttons. Bets per spin start at $0.10 and rise to a sum of $50 per spin. Once you have selected your bet amount, press the spin button and watch all hell break loose.

The slot reels will display a mix of character, object, and block symbols. The Weapons Reel along the bottom will change independently from the slot and hold either weapon or bonus scatter symbols. The characters of this game are known as Enemies, and they each have a lifeline, which you, in turn, gun down with the selection of weapons provided. The aim is simple. Deplete the lifeline of an enemy, and you will win their cash value.

The Gates of Hellfire slot game comes with the following special features:

HellBox: Contains modifiers to help boost wins:

• Multipliers = Big multipliers can boost your payout to x20.
• Scatters = An extra scatter symbol from the HellBox, might help you to unlock the bonus game.
• Health Pack = Receive +2 Health Points [free spins bonus round only]
• Second Strike = This respins the HellBox and the Weapons Reel.

Weapons: Blast the enemy lifelines with each weapon offering different damage rates and attack patterns.

• Shotgun = Hits all symbols in the same column and reduces lifeline by 2 with each shot.
• Sniper = Hits all symbols in the column and as a hit rate of 5 points off the lifeline.
• Crossbow = Hits all enemies in the column above and adjacent. The hit rate is 5 points.
• Rocket Launcher = This will hit a random 3x3 area of the grid and has a 20-point hit rate.
• Chainsaw = Will be unleashed on a random row and comes with a 10-point hit rate. 
• Plasma Gun = This will fire in all directions and will take off 15 points with each hit.
• MFG = A huge 40-point destructive weapon that hits everywhere. 

Boss Enemies: There are three bosses, you must defeat one to be able to move on to the next boss. Each has a unique lifespan and cash value.

Hellfire Spins: Unlock this bonus round with three scatter symbols. You will begin this round with five Health Points. The aim is to come out the other side with your Health Points not depleted to zero. In the round, you will face the Boss Enemies, and victory over a boss will replenish your vital Health Points.

Bonus Buy: Skip past all the base gaming and pay your way into the Hellfire Spins. The cost of doing this is 80x your betting price. 

Showdown Spin: If you pay out 250x your bet value, you can play a one-off spin, face-to-face with the big boss Hellfire Tyrant.

Games like Gates of Hellfire do not come around as often as we would like. These are games that challenge the status quo, are innovative, and keep the theme and concept consistent throughout the gameplay and design. 

I eagerly loaded this slot in my online casino and played 50 spins with my bet at $2.50 per spin.

The gameplay is dynamic and immersive, and the use of weapons is a genius move that adds a refreshing twist to the standard online slot machine. The Second Strike feature came in on spin 12, which is a good sign that you do not have to wait for features to drop after 20 or 30 spins. This feature strikes again three spins later.

After using the Plasma Gun weapon, I win a big $20; however, by then, it is all too late. I soon reach my 5oth spin, and I am way off from breaking even. Nevertheless, this game is up there with one of the Games of the Year.

The Gates of Hellfire slot by Gaming Corps is a high-volatility game with an RTP rating of 96.02%. The maximum that can be won is 5,000 times the betting value. If betting the max bet of $50 per spin, you’d be playing for a jackpot of $250,000.

When a game is this good, it makes the review hard to write because there is no easy way to capture the brilliance, and Gates of Hellfire is full of it. It’s dynamic, brave, action-packed, and you should play this game.
