Welcome to Hell 81 Slot Machine
Welcome to Hell 81 certainly rolls out the red carpet welcome when the 5 reels of the underworld opens its doors to you. For whatever reasons, you’ve found yourself in the realm of darkness, the devil now the being who decides the destiny of your fate.
The iconography and aesthetic of the game perfectly captures everything we’ve come to expect from hell: flames, chains, groans of pains, and eternal damnation. That last part really puts a downer of the whole thing, but don’t worry as Wazdan has taken away the shame that normally comes with being confined to hell.
In this world of 81 ways to win, players can make money and pay their way out of this fiery hell. Making those connections and greasing the right palms isn’t a task that everyone will be able to overcome, but we have faith in you. Go forth and break the bonds of servitude.
A Warm Welcome
The little skull that greeted you will fly away and become one with the title above the reels, never to be seen again, but while it disappears the images of the reels show up. There are nine symbols to try and line up, with the devil at the top of the food chain; he’s the wild.
As the wild he can do a number of neat tricks: he can substitute all the other symbols at will, a surprisingly nice gesture from him. He can also add a multiplier on any wins that are made when he’s part of the combo, the amount increasing with the number of wilds found. Basically, if you get two wilds you’ll get a x2 multiplier and so on. But this wicked demon doesn’t stop there, he also wins us €20 when four of him are found.
In regards to the rest of the paytable, the payouts change depending on how many of them you find, sometimes you need to find only four but a lot of the time a minimum of three will be required. A find of three will always give the least amount of money back, like when users get three 666s; you’ll only get 0.10. It goes to show that this dark number has some bad vibes coming off of it.
The spellbook is a more impressive icon, bringing in between 1.60 and 16 credits, the second highest to the master of evil himself. This book is obviously the source of all his power - no wonder it’s so valuable.
On Fire
A constant sea of flames with surround you, but it’ll intensify when you make a win. What is more, those winning symbols will suddenly disappear into thin air, replaced with a new set. It’s a nice design touch that makes this feel like a quality game; it’s one of the few Wazdan activities that stands out from all their others.
To ensure you don’t burn up all that money before the game ends, players need to place a stake worthy of a demon. Fortunately the starting point isn’t that high at all but is a menial 0.10 coins, which can be increased by the plus widget to reach a much larger 100 credits; this range is a staple Wazdan one. If you’re going to burn up in flames from the heat of such a large bet, you might as well do so by selecting the Max Bet option.
While there’s an autoplay feature, we weren’t able to try it because we were in the demo mode, and so we can’t tell you whether it triggers automatically or asks you to select a number of waves first. Even though we can’t properly report back on this, automatic spins usually stay the same across the board.
One Night in Hell
Everyone wants one night in heaven, but we quite enjoyed our time in hell; the devil wasn’t a bad dude after all, and he ensured we walked away with a tidy sum of cash. It wasn’t an amazing turnout money wise, but the gameplay made up for it.
As for the graphics, they’re some of the best Wazdan has ever put out there, and so Welcome to Hell 81 has become one of our all time favourites of the brand.
