Game rules

There are two types of game currency — credits (main) and coins (additional). Before you start playing you have 2,000 credits which are shown in the Demo Credits window. You can adjust a coin value ranging from 0.01 to 0.25 credit in the Coin window.

The bet per line is set in coins. Set from 1 to 10 coins with the help of the '-' and '+' controls in the Coins section (in the Expert version of the slot) or the Coins button (in the regular version). The line bet affects both payouts for winning combinations and the total bet.

Select active paylines in the Lines window by clicking the number of them on each side of the reels. According to the rules of the slot, a prize is given for combinations that appear on active lines. Lines — is another parameter that affects your total bet.

The total bet in credits is displayed in the Bet window. To calculate it, the values in the Coin Size, Coins and Lines sections are multiplied. This is the number of credits to be deducted from your account for a reelspin.

Your win is credited if identical symbols are on the active payline and adjacent reels, starting from the first one. The exception is combinations with a Scatter symbol which earns you a payout starting from two symbols and at the same time is not associated with paylines. The prize for the Scatter symbol is calculated depending on the total bet.

You can find rewards for all symbols in coins in the paytable. You can see your win for the previous spin in the Win window.

You can start the reels by clicking the Spin button. During this, your or default setting will be used.  Click the Bet Max button to set the maximum line bet and the number of paylines, then a reelspin will start.

Symbols and payouts of the Hellboy slot

A Wild symbol is displayed as a slot logo. When it lands on the active payline with identical symbols it replaces the one that is required to complete a combination. During this, the payout for a combination will be doubled. Doubling is not applied to combinations of the Wild symbols exclusively. The Wild symbol cannot replace the Scatter. If you collect from three to five Wild symbols, you will get the following winning:

  • 3 Hellboy – 100
  • 4 Hellboy– 1,000
  • 5 Hellboy – 10,000

  • 2 Scatters — 2
  • 3 Scatters – 4
  • 4 Scatters – 25
  • 5 Scatters — 500

  • 10 – 5, 10 or 80 coins

Risk game

After you get your winnings on any active payline of the Hellboy slot, you can play the risk game. You have to click the Gamble button which replaces the Lines button in the control panel.

You will see a new window, where you can find a face-down card and buttons on each side of the reels for guessing the colour or suit. You have to guess the correct suit or colour of the card. Set all your winning for the latest spin.

If you guess the correct card colour – red or black – you will double your win. If you guess the correct card suit, your win will be quadrupled. You can risk one sum up to five times if every guess is correct. After the fifth round, your winnings are credited to your account automatically and you return to the main window.

If you guess wrong all your winnings burn and you return to the regular mode.

Bonus game and free spins

  • A random prize
  • A random prize and the Win All symbol
  • The Blocked symbol

If you find the Win All symbol, you will get your win for the whole round and pass to the next round. The Blocked symbol finishes the bonus round. If you find a simple prize, you can select the door again.

There are four levels in total. If you pass them successfully, you will get to Chamber of Fire, where the crystal is. Having shot at it, you will receive a random reward. Then all your winnings are added up and credited to your account. The size of your payout depends on the total bet.  You have no access to the Underworld Bonus in Supermode.

The Supermode bonus mode can be activated automatically after any spin. You will receive ten free spins and up to three Wild symbols in each spin. During this, Wild symbols remain in their positions until the end of the bonus round. The line bet, the coin value and the number of lines remain the same as in the latest spin of the main game. You cannot receive free spins during the Supermode again. All your winnings are credited to your account automatically.
