Four Gates of Hell rounds in 450 spins, and not one of them covered a reel with Sticky Wilds for the three extra spins. The best still paid 55 times the stake on this Big Time Gaming slot, where Wild Electricity reels multiply wins by six and High Voltage Free Spins never ran once.
So what is this slot then? Anything different under the hood? The initial impression ended in mixed feelings for certain. Danger High Voltage comes from Big Time Gaming, the studio that also made Danger High Voltage Megapays and Lil' Devil.
Danger High Voltage is a 6-reel, 4-row slot with 4,096 ways to win, and it is playable between 0.20 and 40 credits per spin. I played it at a 2.00 stake from a starting balance of 1,000.00.
On the reels, there are low-value 9 to A royals as well as tacos, disco balls, bells, skulls and two wild symbols. Those are Wild Fire and Wild Electricity. Both substitute for every symbol except the My Desire scatter, and Wild Fire also lands only on reels 2 to 5, where it covers the whole reel. 6 skulls across the reels pays 25 times the stake. The skull is the only symbol that pays for 2 of a kind, at 0.2 times the stake.
Wild Electricity covers an entire reel on reels 2 to 5. It applies a x6 win multiplier, and the My Desire scatter symbol is present since the slot is played with a free spins feature. Multipliers from more than one Wild Electricity in the same win are combined.
Core to the slot is the free spins feature, and 3 or more My Desire scatters trigger a choice of High Voltage Free Spins with 15 spins or Gates of Hell Free Spins with 7 spins. High Voltage Free Spins add a High Voltage Wild on reels 2 to 5 that multiplies wins by x11, x22, x33, x44, x55 or x66, and 3 or more scatters during that round award 15 more spins. For the entire round in Gates of Hell Free Spins, one random paytable symbol turns into a Sticky Wild on reels 2 to 5. Each of my Gates of Hell rounds opened with three My Desire scatters paying 12.00, which is the 6 times the stake that 3 scatters pay anywhere in view. 3 additional free spins are awarded if a reel is fully covered with 4 Sticky Wilds. None of my rounds covered a reel that way, so each ran its 7 spins and ended on a total-win screen.
Minty’s Closing Thought: The slot returned 77.2% during my test session of 450 spins. Only 95 of those spins paid anything, 49 of them less than the stake, and the longest run without a win lasted 26 spins. Gates of Hell Free Spins triggered four times, paying 55 times the stake at most. The balance peaked at 1,080.20 after a 146.00 win on spin 216 and finished at 795.20.
