Core Features and Gameplay
- Base layout: 5x4 with 20 fixed paylines paying left to right
- Golden Coins: lock for 3 spins and show cash prizes as stake multipliers
- Hades Collect: gathers all visible Coin prizes when he lands
- Hold & Win Bonus: transforms the grid to 6x6 with sticky Coins
- Wilds: substitute for all symbols except Golden Coin and Hades
Golden Coins: Lock, Save, and Collect
- Up to 8 Golden Coin symbols can land on any spin in the base game.
- Each Coin displays a cash prize worth 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, or 10x the stake.
- When a Coin lands, it locks for 3 spins. Landing any new Coin resets the 3-spin counter for all locked Coins.
- Locked Coins are saved between play sessions for this game at the stake they were locked on, so returning at the same stake picks up where you left off.
Hades Collect Mechanic
- When Hades lands in the base game, he collects the cash prizes from all Golden Coins on the reels.
- In base play, the collected Coins will disappear on the next spin.
- During the Hold & Win bonus, Hades still collects—but Coins remain locked until the feature ends.
Hold & Win Bonus (Grid Expands to 6x6)
Gates of the Underworld’s signature feature starts with 3 free spins on a 6x6 board:
- Only Golden Coin, Hades, and Empty symbols appear.
- Any time a non-empty symbol lands, the spin counter resets to 3.
- All symbols with cash prizes lock in place until the feature ends.
- Up to 8 Coins can land on each spin.
- The feature ends when no spins remain or the grid is full; all locked prizes are then awarded.
Tip: In the base game, Coins visually toss a coin above the slot with a chance to trigger the Hold & Win bonus (the animation is for entertainment and does not alter the actual probability).
Five In-Game Jackpots
Unlock jackpot prizes during Hold & Win by collecting enough locked symbols on the grid:
- Mini Jackpot: 15x the stake for 10 locked symbols
- Minor Jackpot: 30x the stake for 15 locked symbols
- Major Jackpot: 50x the stake for 20 locked symbols
- Mega Jackpot: 150x the stake for 30 locked symbols
- Grand Jackpot: 3000x the stake for 36 locked symbols
All eligible jackpots are awarded at the end of the bonus.
Wilds and Paylines
- The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except Golden Coin and Hades.
- All wins pay from left to right on the 20 paylines in the 5x4 base layout.
Buy Feature and Buy Chance
Where available, Gates of the Underworld offers:
- Buy Feature: an optional way to jump straight into feature-focused play without waiting for a natural trigger.
- Buy Chance: increases the likelihood of triggering the bonus during normal spins.
Availability can vary by region and version. If you prefer immediate action or more frequent feature entries, these options are worth exploring.
Theme, Art, and Audio
Step into the molten temple of Hades, where ember-lit reels, gleaming Golden Coins, and dramatic effects set the tone. The Underworld aesthetic pairs with punchy animations—especially during Hold & Win—creating a blazing, high-energy experience across desktop and mobile.
Strategy Pointers
- Keep your stake consistent: locked Coins are saved at the stake they landed on.
- Love feature play? Consider using Buy Chance to boost natural feature hits, or the Buy Feature to dive straight into bonus action.
- Watch for Hades: timed right, his collect can unleash a torrent of stored cash prizes.
