Hellapenos Slot Review

Hellapenos Slot Overview

Welcome to the Underworld! Pull up a seat at Bar Hellapenos and grab a glass of the Devil's ever-so-fiery liquor. It's all perfectly safe, we promise, as the real heat resides in the Scoville Scale-busting reel’s action. Think you can handle the temperature? The red-skinned one may make it worth your while in a game featuring Standard and Expanding Multiplier Wilds and a flame-ridden Free Spins Bonus. Escape this underground lair intact, and you may return to the comforts of home clutching a 5,000x max win!

You have to love a game which goes to the effort of producing a theme a little outside the ordinary, and we found this to be a devilish delight. The richly atmospheric setting dovetails brilliantly with the more light-hearted symbols to create a thoroughly entertaining experience. The base game deserves top marks and comes stacked with win potential, thanks to the Random Multiplier Wilds and Expanding Devils. The bonus round may have benefited from just a little boost, but that’s probably being a bit picky about what is an excellent release!

Hellapenos Slot Features

Chili Multiplier Wilds

These 2x Multiplier Wilds may appear on reels three to five and substitute for all standard symbols to help create winning ways. Two or more Chili Wilds will have their values multiplied before being applied to a win, up to a max of 8x.

Random Multiplier Wilds

Reels one and two contain stacks of two to five high matching symbols. This feature will kick in if all symbols on both reels are identical and adds up to three Chili Multiplier Wilds to reels three to five.

Expanding Devil Wilds

The landlord of this dubious establishment may appear on reels three to five. If A Devil Wild forms a win, it will expand to create a Whole Reel Wild. If expanding through one or two Chili Wilds, the Reel becomes an 2x or 4x Multiplier Reel. As with the standard Chili Multipliers, Devil Wild values combine, creating the potential for a rewarding 64x multiplier.

Hellapenos Slot Bonus Features

Free Spins Bonus

Temperature Gages are the game's Scatters and may land on reels three to five. Hit three on a single spin to move into the bonus game armed with a red-hot seven free spins.

Free spins take place on the same set of reels as the base game, but the Devil will hand you a couple of boosts whenever he appears. If a Devil's Head shows up on reels three to five, that reel is activated and guarantees a Devil on every remaining spin. Even better, Satan will hand you three additional spins per activated reel.

Our Verdict A solid but unspectacular feature, which didn’t bring enough variety to really fuel our fire. A failure to land any Devil’s can see the round pass by innocuously. On the other hand, if the Devil does decide to come out to play, things can quickly become very interesting.

Hellapenos Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.19%	No	High

The fixed 96.19% Return to Player (RTP) percentage compares favorably with the industry average RTP of 96%.

Hellapenos resides in the high volatility sector of Hell’s Bar Quarter. As such, you should expect your fair share of ups and downs. On the plus side, games of this rating provide a better chance of landing a big win in a short session than low-medium volatility releases.

Our Verdict Top marks to Thunderkick for pitching this at a fixed RTP of 96.19%, which represents solid value to the player. The game centers upon drinking near toxic chili-infused cocktails…at a flame-ridden bar…in Hell. High volatility is the only reasonable fit.

Hellapenos Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

A red-hued cavern provides the setting for this subterranean tavern. To the right, we have a fully stocked bar with a plush red stool and a smoldering cocktail. To the left, a cast of unfortunate skeletons who have presumably made the mistake of actually drinking the stuff! The graphics can’t be faulted - coming close to a high-end videogame in quality. In contrast to the realism of the backdrop, the reel symbols call upon a more urban graffiti style – particularly the Chili Bottles and the Devil himself, who benefits from an amusing tongue-stretching animation whenever he steps into expanding action.

Hellapenos (Thunderkick) 1 — Base game spins

Hellapenos (Thunderkick) 2 — Expanding Devil Wild in action

Hellapenos (Thunderkick) 3 — Wins in the base game

Hellapenos (Thunderkick) 4 — Bonus symbol on the reels

Audio

This bar provides its own big band to accompany the action, as twinkling keys, atmospheric guitars, and yearning trombones combine to a surprisingly jolly yet slightly sinister effect. The stone-style reels thump by innocuously enough, only lit up by the chirps of wins, boiling point Temperature Gages, and The Horned One announcing “Groovy”.

Our Verdict Yet another stellar production from Thunderkick. We loved the underlying black humor of the setting and the distinctive stylings of the game grid. The soundtrack is also very well done and will have you bobbing along to the chaos.

Hellapenos Slot on Mobile

We imagine you may struggle for a signal in these fiery depths. Nevertheless, Thunderkick has ensured that desktop players and mobile slot fans can feel the heat. Hellapenos is fully optimized for Android, iOS, and Windows-powered devices.
