Gates of Hades

Gates of Hades Review

Like many of the gods Hades also enjoyed having some fun from time, to time. He wasn’t always. Somber while seated on his throne in the Underworld. No, not at all. Every now and then he would kidnap women. He could even show kindness when begged for it. However Pragmatic Play doesn’t hold back when it comes to releasing a revamped version of their game Gates of Olympus with Gates of Hades. It’s like transitioning from the heights of Olympus to the depths of the Underworld with Hades stepping in as your guide this time. In the game you collect Multiplier Orbs up, to 500x each to boost your overall Tumble win. The same applies during the bonus round. With the multiplier never resetting.

Gates of Hades Slot Features

If you’re up, for a bit of excitement activating the Ante Bet will require paying 25% more per spin which in turn doubles your chances of entering the bonus round. The special symbols can reward you with from 12 to 50 times your bet if you match between 12 and 30 symbols on the screen. Winning combinations trigger the feature clearing space for symbols to drop down and potentially create more wins. The winning streak continues until a non winning tumble occurs.

Although there are no symbols in this game Hades may appear on the side of the grid to introduce Multiplier Symbols. These colorful gemstone orbs with wings carry multipliers reaching up to x500. The total sum of all multipliers collected during a tumble sequence contributes to boosting your win.

To kick off the Bonus Round you’ll need to land 4, 5 or 6 Hades Scatters on one base game spin or, within one tumble sequence. This triggers a payout of either 3x, 5x or even a whopping 100x your bet. Grants you with a generous prize of 15 free spins regardless of how many scatters triggered the feature.
Multiplier symbols are continuously included in the win multiplier, throughout the features duration and the global win multiplier remains constant until the feature concludes.

Additionally players outside of the UK and those residing in regions can make use of the Bonus Buy feature. This option requires a payment of 100 times the stake. Ensures a minimum of 3 scatters, on the spin. The RTP remains relatively stable. Reaches a peak of 95.51% with the purchase of this feature.

Review Summary

It’s hard to ignore the fact that Gates of Hades seems like a copy of Pragmatic Plays popular game, Gates of Olympus. The visual elements are quite similar though, with a tone as it delves into the Underworld of soaring to divine heights. Hades, the ruler of the underworld takes Zeus place on the side. Everything else unfolds just like in the original game. Ultimately it comes down to preference or your mood for the day. The cascading sequences are smooth and satisfying throughout and symbols up to x500 can result in significant payouts at any point in the game. Particularly during the bonus round when the multiplier keeps growing although the maximum win is capped at 5,000 times your bet. It would have been nice if Pragmatic Play had introduced something into this version. Occasional remixes like this are common, in this industry.
