Hounds of Hell by Hacksaw Gaming lets the dogs of hell off the leash: wolves and hellhounds roam among skulls and flames in black and red. Wins pay anywhere on the grid, and random multipliers can boost any hit.

Hounds of Hell has no paylines. Wins pay anywhere: matching symbols count in any position on the grid once enough of them land in the same spin. The game can also remove symbols from the grid, which clears space and changes the mix of the symbols that remain.

Multipliers drive this game. A random multiplier can turn up in the base game and boost a win, and there is a general multiplier as well. The free spins add a free spins multiplier on top, and extra free spins can be added during the round.

The remove symbols feature takes certain symbols out of play. A random reward can also trigger out of nowhere. Together with the free spins, that gives the game several routes to big wins.

Since random multipliers and a free spins multiplier lift the wins in Hounds of Hell, the game sits with the inferno slots with multipliers, where more titles share this mechanic.
