Dante's Hell HD — RTP, volatility and max win

Dante's Hell HD by Play Labs takes you on an adventure through hell: devils, demons, ghosts and the deadly sins fill the reels against a red and black backdrop. Besides multiplier-backed free spins, the game is tied to a progressive jackpot that runs as its own prize pot alongside the line wins.

Dante's Hell HD came out on January 15, 2014, which makes it one of the older games in the collection, refreshed with HD visuals and three-dimensional symbols. The name promises Dante's hell, and the reels carry that mood: darkness, flame red and grim figures instead of colourful fruit. The classic five-reel, three-row 5×3 setup carries 25 paylines. You can bet €0.01 on the smallest setting and €50 on the largest, so very small and much bigger stakes both work.

With high volatility and most of its big wins coming from free spins and the jackpot, Dante's Hell HD is one of the swingier games, and the guide to the volatility of inferno slots sorts every slot by that level.

Dante's Hell HD pays on fixed lines, so identical symbols need to stretch from the first reel over one of the 25 paylines. The wild fills gaps in those lines. Scatters are not tied to a line and count anywhere on the grid; they are your route into the free spins. Bonus icons add a third layer: they lead into a separate bonus game, and some of them drop onto the reels at random during an ordinary spin.

Surprise bonus icons: in the base game, bonus icons can be dropped onto the grid without warning, so even a quiet spin can still tip into the bonus game.

Bonus game: enough bonus icons open a separate round away from the reels, and whatever it pays is added to the spin.

Multiplied free spins: a scatter landing opens a run of free spins in which a multiplier boosts line wins. This is where the biggest hits from regular play come from.

Progressive jackpot: part of every stake feeds a growing pot that pays out independently of the paytable.

Because Dante's Hell HD is tied to a progressive jackpot that grows alongside the paytable, the inferno slots with jackpots bring similar prize pots together in one place.

With 94.37% paid back, Dante's Hell HD belongs to the lower part of the Inferno list. Part of each stake feeds the progressive jackpot, which pulls down the return from the regular paytable.

From regular play the biggest prize reaches 3,000×, mid-table and ahead of around 37% of the list. High volatility fits a game where the multiplied free spins and the jackpot deliver most of the big amounts.
