Hellapenos — RTP, volatility and max win

Hellapenos by Thunderkick mixes hell with hot chillies: the devil and his dogs roam between jalapeños on red and violet stone. Wilds walk across the reels carrying multipliers, and in the free spins symbols expand beyond their spots.

Hellapenos pays across 100 paylines. The setting is a fiery hell of stone in red and violet, populated by the devil, dogs and chilli peppers. Bets start at €0.10 per spin. The game came out on November 22, 2023.

The high volatility of Hellapenos comes from walking wilds with multipliers; other titles at the same level are lined up under volatility of inferno slots.

100 paylines decide the wins: equal symbols need to chain along one of them from the leftmost reel, and only the highest combination per line pays. The wild stands in for missing symbols and adds its multiplier to the win. Free spins open on scatters, and more of them during the round add extra spins. The stake from €0.10 is spread across all lines.

The heart of the game is its walking wilds: once they land they stay in play and step further across the reels from spin to spin. Each of these wilds carries a multiplier that boosts any win it is part of.

Scatter icons open the free spins. There, symbols expand to fill more positions, and more scatters extend the round with extra free spins. Paying for the bonus puts you in the free spins without waiting.

During the free spins of Hellapenos, symbols expand across several positions; other titles with this mechanic are grouped under inferno slots with expanding symbols.
