Epic Hellas — RTP, volatility and max win

Epic Hellas from Peter & Sons moves Greek legend into the underworld, where a crowned devil rules a red-glowing realm that also features the pigs of myth. Bonus icons trigger hold-and-win respins and lock in place there, while a giant symbol covers whole blocks of the grid.

The theme of Epic Hellas mixes adventure and horror: an ancient Greek setting, a crowned devil ruling Hades and pigs as figures from legend, all in deep red. Peter & Sons builds the game around 5×3 reels and 50 paylines. €0.20 is the smallest wager per round and €50 the largest, so small through to fairly high bets fit. Epic Hellas was released on January 22, 2025.

Because Epic Hellas keeps medium volatility despite its many bonus routes, the list of inferno slots by volatility helps compare it with wilder hell-themed games.

Across five reels and three rows sit 50 paylines. A payout needs matching symbols from the left along one of these lines, with the wild filling gaps. The giant symbol covering three by three positions sits on many lines at once and can create several hits together. Bonus icons and scatters do not count for the lines; they open the special rounds.

Bonus icons trigger the hold-and-win feature: they stay in place while the other positions spin again in respins, and every new bonus symbol keeps the round going. The fixed jackpots with set amounts are found there too.

A scatter trigger awards free spins; more scatters add extra spins, and multipliers boost wins. A separate bonus game rounds out the features. The bonus bet raises your stake for better odds of triggering them, and the feature buy starts them straight away.

Since bonus symbols in Epic Hellas lock in place and trigger respins with fixed jackpots, the inferno slots with hold and win are the natural next comparison.

As the bonus bet on Epic Hellas raises the stake to reach the features more often, it is worth comparing with the inferno slots with a bonus bet.
