How to play Hot as Hades

Oh, it’s getting Hot as Hades in here… Our scorching 3D video slot from Microgaming delivers devilish fun over 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines. Play as the god of the dead and riches – Hades – in this surprisingly jaunty casino slot. His dashing light-hearted swagger fits his flaming head down to the scalp.

This blistering slot game brings you on a quest to the shadow of the valley of death in search for the crystal helm. With the low paying symbols being represented by the royal flush cards – 10, J, Q, K and A – plus the mesmerizing Medusa and your godly brothers Poseidon and Zeus as symbols, it’s one hot party.

The two neat bonus features of this cheeky take on Greek mythology are quite the handful; first you have the ‘Quest for the Crystal Helm’ which triggers after 3 or more scatters, then you have the randomly triggered Super Mode where you’re awarded 5 Free Spins with hot and sticky Wilds.

Grab your gear and run (flaming) head on towards a rewarding adventure with your three-headed pet, Cerberus while trying to dodge the ferocious stare of Medusa, the wrath of the sea-god Poseidon and the thunderous force of Zeus on your quest for the crystal helm. Your adventure can start as low as £0.20 per bet, while the real action on max bet goes as high as £50 per bet. Before you leave the roasting depths of hell, note that you can choose to play for free or with real money.
