About the Game

Features
Hellhounds
- Hellhound symbols act as cash prize multipliers that spread and are collected before being multiplied by the bet.
- At the end of each spin, landed Hellhound symbols spread to the top of their respective reels and display a multiplier value.
- Multiplier values are collected bottom-to-top, left-to-right, and are displayed above each corresponding reel.
- The collected multiplier values above each reel are added together and multiplied by the bet to determine the final win.
Types of Hellhound Symbols
- There are two types: Adding and Multiplying.
- Adding multipliers: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x
- Multiplying multipliers: x2, x3, x4, x5, x10
- Only one Hellhound symbol can land on a reel at a time.
Roaring Packs of Hell
- If two or more Hellhound symbols appear on adjacent reels and the same row, they form a Roaring Pack. This increases the possible multiplier values.
- Hellhound symbols that spread from a Roaring Pack are also counted as part of the Pack.
- Roaring Pack multipliers:
- Adding: 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x
- Multiplying: x3, x4, x5, x10, x20
- A Hellhound in a Roaring Pack remains part of the Pack even if separated after cascades.
