Slot Review

Game Overview

Nolimit City offers yet another exciting story wrapped in fantastic visuals and powered by a set of exciting features. Some of the things you’ll find there are very well familiar to the studio fans, including a few xMechanics. But some of them are new, and all these cool things are discussed in this Highway to Hell slot review.

Extra Spin is something gamblers have never seen before. At the end of the bonus feature, the game offers to buy one more spin with all existing achievements retained. That’s a great chance to get some nice payouts.

At the core of the gameplay are win ways with cascades. But it’s a variety of symbol multipliers that prevail in the booster department. You get xWays, xSplit, Avasplit and Demon features to boost the size of symbols.

Highway to Hell Slot Features

It’s a win ways game with the reel set split into the main area and four positions that are initially locked. These are called Enhancers, and they unlock one by one for every cascade. Enhancers are a popular tool the studio has used in multiple slots.

Avasplit Effect

This is a fancy name used for a simple split. After a win, when symbols explode triggering a cascade, some of the symbols that remained on the screen will have their symbol count increased by 1. For instance, If there’s 1, there will be 2 icons sharing a single position.

Wilds & xNudge Wilds

Demo Highway to Hell if you enjoy the idea of not one, but two types of Wilds. One is regular, the other one will nudge and get you a multiplier. The more steps it takes to appear in full view, the higher the multiplier.

Usually, xNudge comes with a starting multiplier of x1 and then increases +1 for each position it advances. But in this game, there’s such a thing as the Hellevator Booster. And it can have a position multiplier. And when xNudge lands there, it increases that existing multiplier.

Demon

When the Demon shows up, you’ll see a bunch of symbols disappear, but only those that hold a single symbol. Bigger icons won’t be consumed by the Demon. This feature isn’t just to clear more space for potentially more wins, but also to get one massive symbol the Demon turns into. It takes just one position, but packs multiple similar icons.

Let’s say, the Demon consumed 10 different icons, that means it turns into a symbol with x10 symbol multiplier.

Don’t worry, the Highway to Hell slot won’t take away any winning combinations when the Demon lands. The feature will trigger only after there are no wins. It can also happen that the Demon removes zero icons. In this case, it turns into a regular symbol with no multiplier.

xWays

This feature is designed for a similar reason the Demon was created. It’s to boost the number of icons one symbol can hold. When you see xWays, you get 2-4 icons packed in one. This only works because it’s a win ways slot, and the more symbols the reel can pack the higher the number of possible win ways.

Play Highway to Hell for free if you aren’t familiar with this feature. One thing to note about it is that multiple xWays icons all turn into the same symbol.

xSplit

The reel that has this icon will have all its symbols double in size. xSplit itself becomes Wild. The power of the split affects all symbols, but not Scatters.

Bonus Game

There are a few ways to enter the Hell Spins bonus. 3 Scatters, one Hellevator Booster and bonus buy. Any of these will get you 8 free rounds.

One key thing that wasn’t mentioned before is the Hellevator Booster. This symbol can be the source of numerous different icons. It works by offering one random icon. If this icon is part of a winning combination, it disappears and Hellevator supplies another symbol.

During this bonus, Hellevators are sticky. So, there’s a better chance of them getting a symbol multiplier. But once the Hellevator multiplier gets affected by xNudge, the increase won’t last for long. The multiplier reverts to its previous value once the round is over.

Gamblers have a way to extend the bonus game. For that, they need 3 Scatters but not necessarily in one spin. Each one of these icons is accumulated and when the total is 3, Highway to Hell slot bonus extends for 2 more rounds. This also brings an extra Hellevator.

Extra Spin

This is something you won’t see a lot in the slots vertical. Nolimit City gives gamblers an opportunity to pay for one extra spin when the bonus is over. This can very well be worth the cost that varies depending on the Hellevator multipliers. The opportunity will only come if the price of the feature is lower or equal to the amount won in your last spin.

Play Highway to Hell in demo mode to see that usually the price of Extra Spin is quite high, considering it’s just one more spin. But sometimes you are just one Scatter away from +2 free spins, have a bunch of nice Hellevator multipliers, and the risk seems justified.

Give this option a good test before you make any conclusions, because sometimes it’s just a waste of funds. And it’s very addictive because you get one Extra Spin after another and it can be hard to stop. The studio warns that for an optimal RTP, you shouldn’t choose Extra Spins.

Highway to Hell Bonus Buy

Before you can buy Extra Spins, you need to enter a bonus round. But you don’t have to wait for the Scatters to land randomly. Those who are ready to pay for a ticket to the bonus, get multiple choices. The price varies, but all options buy you 8 spins. The difference is in the number of Hellevator boosters that are awarded initially. To have 0, 1, 2 and 3 of them, you’ll pay x60, x100, x180 and x350, respectively. Another option is the Lucky Draw for x162.

God Mode is present in the Highway to Hell online slot. And, as usual, it’s the most epic and expensive option. It costs x3,800 for a chance to land a single Max Win icon on an Enhancer. This is what awards the top prize of x20,066. Unlike in most other slots featuring God Mode, here you can land regular wins even if the top prize eludes you.

xBet and Bonus Hunt are two alternatives to buying a guaranteed bonus. They don’t guarantee a ticket to the bonus round but boost your chances of getting it. One costs x2.4 and the other one x15. Of course, a more expensive choice offers better chances of success.

Game Stats

Highway to Hell slot machine has a bunch of RTP settings, and each of the settings will offer slightly different RTPs for when paid options are activated. The top figure is 96.03%. Once you load a game, check the Game Info file to find the RTP.

xBet is the only paid option that doesn’t change the default average return. Bonus buys that get you 0 or 1 Hellevators are the only options that slightly improve RTP to 96.09% and 96.05%, respectively. All other feature buys slightly decrease the expected return with God Mode offering the lowest figure at 95.94%.

Volatility is high, it’s not extreme or insane like in many other Nolimit titles. Hit frequency is 27.74%. Free spins land on average 1 in 198 spins.

Highway to Hell Max Win

The maximum gamblers can get from this slot in one go is x20,066. The probability of getting this much is 1 in 10.3 million spins. To speed things up, you can use God Mode. But it’s super expensive. For this Highway to Hell slot review, the God Mode was tested a few times, and the top prize did land. But you have to be really cautious because the chance of failing is still high considering the price.

Conclusion

Highway to Hell delivers a great overall atmosphere that brings energy and power. The studio didn’t go too crazy in terms of volatility and max win for this one, but it’s all great. As usual, there are plenty of tools that were used to spice things up, and the addition of Hellevators and Extra Spins makes it even more appealing.
