Lovers of retro video games will be delighted to load up Relax Gaming’s latest arcade inspired video slot Hellcatraz.

Simon Hammon of Relax Gaming said:

“Our latest video slot, Hellcatraz, is an action-packed journey inside a prison island where big win potential thrives, and mystery is widespread! With low polygon visuals inspired by the pixelated games of the 80s, a stunning soundscape and immersive gameplay, this rollercoaster of a game will make an exciting addition to any operator’s slots portfolio.”

The 32-bit graphics and retro video game music combined with modern slot features, such as cascading reels, Pays All Ways paylines, Mystery Symbols, and Super Free Spins, to present wins of up to 51,840x your bet.

 Arcade Prison Adventures

Hellcatraz slot plays on the idea that the iconic real-world prison it is based on is an impenetrable fortress. In Relax Gaming’s chaos rich slot they take a tongue in cheek approach to this by allowing you to run riot on the reels collecting rich rewards along the way.

The slot is based on The Rock with police boats in the waters and cheeky seagulls helping them keep a lookout. The game symbols include a variety of quirky images, including a Prison Guard, Prisoner, Shark, Guard Badge, and Handcuffs. The lower paying symbols include generic items like a star, heart, shamrock, and diamond all in the same colourful 32-bit art style.

There are two special symbols in this game. The first is the game Wild. This icon will substitute for all other symbols to create wins. There is also a Mystery Symbol in the cast. This is depicted by a Jail Bars with a numbered counter.

The music is an upbeat retro video game inspired tune that will have you bobbing your head as you spin the reels. Keep an ear out for those cheeky seagulls who like to chirp in from time to time.

 Rewards Behind Bars

The slot is played on a 6x6 reel grid where you can land wins over 46,656 ways for a cost of €0.10 up to €25 per spin. Instead of lining symbols up over fixed paylines for the win, between 3 and 6 matching symbols need only arrive on adjacent reels to one another from left to right. Such combinations could win you massive rewards, with up to 51,840x bet up for grabs to the most fortunate of you.

All wins on the reels will trigger a cascade, where the winning symbols will disappear from the screen and will be replaced by new ones to effectively grant a new opportunity for rewards. The game offers a highly volatile environment but does carry a reasonable RTP of 96.46%. This means that although wins are not readily forthcoming, big wins can arrive if you give them time.

✓Mystery Symbol Feature

Before the game begins, you will have to choose between 1 of 2 game modes. Each of these modes will determine how the Mystery Feature plays out in the game.

The two modes influence the reveal:

• Lockdown Mode: All Mystery Symbols have the same counter values on the screen. This mode is highly volatile.
• Mixed Mode: Two independent counter values will be expressed among the standing Mystery Symbols on any one spin. This mode carries a super-high variance.

On each spin, Mystery icons will appear on the reels with a numbered counter displayed on its face. With each cascade of the reels, this counter will decrease in the denomination. Should the counter reach ‘0’, the mystery symbols involved will be revealed, each one turning into the same matching icon for big rewards.

✓Super Free Spins

You will notice that some symbols will carry a special key image on them. When these keys arrive on the reels, they will be collected and applied to the Free Spin trigger meter. Each key you collect will represent between 1 and 10 keys on the meter. Once you have managed to collect 2,000 keys, the Super-Free Spin bonus will trigger, with the opportunity of playing through 5 initial free games.

During this round, all standard Mystery symbols will reveal without any cascade needed. If you manage to land two golden Mystery Symbols on the reels spin 2 cascades of the reels, you will trigger 2 more free spins.

If waiting is not your strong point you can opt to buy the feature for 200x your stake, or simply pay for the balance of the keys you need to trigger the feature, the choice is yours.
