Features

The pokie machine is built on the popular set of mechanics, which is Scatter Pays + Cascades. But this combination isn’t the star of this game. Hounds of Hell players will be anticipating any image of a Hound, because it awards a multiplier.

And if it lands on the second or lower rows, it spreads until it reaches the top and transforms all affected positions into multipliers. The total is calculated bottom to top. Some multipliers are added to the total, others are multiplied. That’s why the order is important.

Multiplier Boost

When at least two Hellhounds land on the same row next to each other, they form a pack to boost multipliers. If the regular hounds offer x50 (for adding) and x10 (for multiplying) values, then the power of the pack boosts the max figures to x100 and x20, respectively.

Bonus Games

Three and four FS icons get you two different bonuses. One of them, that is less valuable, offers multipliers that don’t reset until the end of the feature. Only then the total is calculated and applied to a bet.

• In Hounds of Hell, when you get zero wins for 3 free rounds back-to-back, the pokie can award you the feature that removes all symbols 10-A. That’s another chance to land a win. And this time, it can be a significant win.
• You also get +2 and +4 spins for 2 and 3 FS symbols, respectively.

The second, more valuable, bonus is a bit different. Here, multipliers reset between rounds. But when any Hound lands, it marks its reel to make sure there will be a guaranteed multiplier in all remaining spins.

Bonus Gamble

But before you even enter free spins, Hounds of Hell asks if you want to play a gamble. If lucky, you get more spin or an upgrade. But if not, you have to accept a worse deal.

Bonus Buy

The cost of buying free spins is x100 and x250 for a more valuable option. But there are two other paid options. You can pay x3 to boost the chance of hitting FS or pay x60 to have a single spin with 3 or possibly more Hound multipliers.

Conclusion

Hounds of Hell is a fantastic video slot that proves once again the talent of the Hacksaw Gaming team. From visuals to the gameplay, everything is great. You get Hellhounds that duplicate and form packs for even bigger wins, as well as a couple other features that boost the chances of winning big during free spins.
