Go deep underground where Hades, the Greek god of the Underworld will be your host. Light clothes will do, because it’s hot down there. This is Hot as Hades, a cartoon depiction of the most famous Greek gods, which in all honesty, looks great! It comes with one of kind bonus features which we rarely come across. It’s a 20 payline slot, but we would’ve preferred it as a 243 pays slot. It is what it is. What’s not to like about a jackpot of 100,000? Hades is already warming up!
Slot Information
Data
It feels like it’s a 243 pays slot, but it’s a 20 payline one. Furthermore, players cannot interact with the active payline number. The interface of Hot as Hades allows the player to view the bets and prizes in credits and coins. The minimum coin size is 0.01 and it goes as high as 0.10. Despite the small coin value range, the slot provides astounding betting options. That being said, players can place up to 25 coins per active line. Hot as Hades comes with a low hit rate, but it shines with an RTP of 96.5%. Although, you have to play for quite a while before the benefits of the higher than average RTP start to kick in.
Features
Hot as Hades looks as if it’s a mix of new generation technology and classic popular slots, at least from a design perspective. The fact that there is a bonus feature that triggers randomly, literally out of nowhere, makes it rather unpredictable, but not from a payout point of view. Profits lie in big wins. You will experience frequent modest wins, but they won’t put a smile on your face. In most cases, the wins are lower than the bet amount itself. Then again, wins are what make the game alluring. The wild symbol, which is the logo of Hot as Hades acts as a multiplier of 2x whenever it’s part of a winning line. This point is crucial to note, because during the Super Mode, the “unpredictable” bonus feature that occurs randomly, Hades appears on the screen turning random symbols into wilds. You’re given 5 free spins and any wilds put on the reels by Hades will remain fixed for the entire duration of the feature.
Special Features
The scatter symbol in Hot as Hades, the Crystal Helm, triggers the Quest for the Crystal Helm. The first thing that came to our mind was that it resembles Dante’s “Inferno”, because it’s segmented into 5 levels, would’ve been better if there were 9.
It’s a pick and click bonus game featuring Zeus, Medusa, Poseidon and two non-related levels. This feature cannot be triggered during Super Mode. Finding the Crystal Helm in the 5th level guarantees spectacular prizes. To put it in simple words, Hot as Hades would be just another mediocre game if it weren’t for this bonus game. However, It feels as if the trigger for the Quest for the Crystal Helm is always late.
Conclusion
We can’t badmouth Hot as Hades because it comes with a potential for high prizes and it does have unique, rewarding bonus features. As long as you don’t enter a disappointing losing spree, you should have an enjoying play session. In the end, that’s the only thing that matters. Hot as Hades is almost always one of the qualifying tournament games. Ever since it was launched, it became the game of choice of online casinos for competitions.
