The Highway to Hell slot is a popular online casino game developed by NetEnt, a leading provider of digital gaming solutions. Released in 2017, this game has been entertaining players with its thrilling theme, engaging design, and lucrative payouts ever since.
Theme and Design The game’s theme revolves around rock music and the infamous heavy metal band Iron Maiden, whose song "Hallowed Be Thy Name" serves as a soundtrack to the slot. Highway to Hell demo The backdrop of the game is set against a dark, fiery hellish landscape with flames dancing on either side. The overall design is a perfect blend of modern graphics and classic rock elements, making it an attractive proposition for fans of both music genres.
Symbols The symbols in Highway to Hell are categorized into three types: low-paying, medium-paying, and high-paying. The low-paying symbols consist of standard playing cards – 9-A. These cards come with different shades and styles but do not have any unique features or bonus payouts. In the medium category are several rock-inspired icons featuring Iron Maiden’s logo, Eddie (the iconic mascot), and guitar pick symbols. Finally, the high-paying symbols include some legendary band members: Paul Di’Anno, Bruce Dickinson, Nicko McBrain, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Steve Harris, and Janick Gers.
Payouts The payouts in Highway to Hell are structured around a standard paytable system, where players win based on their matching combinations of symbols. The game offers 10 fixed paylines that can be adjusted by changing the bet level or coins per line, allowing for an optimal combination between wins and bankroll management.
Wilds In this slot, two bonus features act as Wilds: a standard expanding wild symbol featuring Eddie’s head and a guitar pick Wild that can replace all other symbols in winning combinations. Both types of Wilds have the power to help create winning combinations or serve as substitutes for required icons during free spins or bonuses.
Scatters The scatter icon, depicted by a golden Iron Maiden logo, is responsible for activating both Free Spins and Bonuses within Highway to Hell Slot.
- When 3 scatters appear in any position on the reels (1-5), the player enters Free Spins mode. The game offers three types of free spins packages with an escalating multiplier for each win combination achieved during that round.
Bonus Features One unique feature tied directly to scatters is ‘the Hellfire Frenzy.’ With 2 scatters, you unlock a single level in this series; having 3 activates the entire sequence (a full-on frenzy!). The bonus offers increasingly larger multipliers for your initial bet. Once entered into any level of Frenzy, players have two minutes to create wins as quickly as possible with these explosive combinations.
Free Spins Free spins within Highway to Hell Slot operate in multiple formats depending on how many scatters initiate the mode (more scatters result in more generous free spin packages). Players can participate in three varieties:
- Low-Mid Package: 10 Free Spins @ x2 multiplier
- Mid-High Package: 20 Free Spins @ x5 Multiplier
- High-Package: 30 Free spins @ x15 Multiplier
