Devil's Heat — RTP, volatility and max win

Devil's Heat from Booming Games mixes hell, devils and demons with an erotic striptease theme, glittering jewels and a nod to sin. A multiplier boosts every win during free spins, and any base-game win can be taken to the gamble game to double it or lose it.

The setting of Devil's Heat is pure underworld: devils, demons, jewels and striptease scenes fill the reels and the background, and the game plays openly with the theme of sin. Its 5×3 reel window carries 10 paylines. Bets start at €0.10 and climb to €200, covering small test spins as well as high bets. Booming Games released Devil's Heat on June 20, 2017.

Since low volatility makes Devil's Heat an exception among hell slots, it is worth comparing with volatility of inferno slots.

Lining up identical symbols on any of the 10 paylines produces a win. Five reels with three rows each keep the screen tidy, and every line is easy to follow. Wilds step in on the lines and complete combinations that are one symbol short. Scatters are the key to the free spins, where wins get a multiplier.

Free spins are triggered by scatter symbols. During this bonus round a free spins multiplier applies to wins, so the same combination pays more in free spins than in the base game.

After a win, Devil's Heat offers a double-up gamble: you stake the amount you just won and either double it or lose all of it. The gamble is optional, only touches that one round win, and you can always decline it.

The multiplier in the free spins of Devil's Heat links it to the inferno slots with free spins, whose bonus rounds are also triggered by scatters.

RTP 95.08%, lower than 75% of the 400 Inferno slots. Background: how RTP works on a slot. Volatility Low, like 6 of the 180 slots in the Hell & devil theme. Background: what slot volatility means. Max win 120× (€24,000 at the highest stake). Background: what max win means on a slot. Hit frequency 36.74%: roughly one spin in 3 wins.

Its 95.08% return puts Devil's Heat among the lower-returning hell slots. At 120×, the cap is one of the lowest in the catalogue; few other hell slots stop paying this early. That fits the low volatility: Devil's Heat is built around frequent small wins, and the 36.74% hit frequency backs that up.
