Hellvis Wild Slot by Pragmatic Play 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Hellvis Wild Review

If Elvis went to hell, and became the opposite of what he was, the angry, red little devil in this game might be an accurate depiction. The hair is somewhat similar at least, but where are the legendary sideburns? Also, Elvis was never seen wearing any kind of earring as far as we know, and he certainly did not play heavy metal music like this Hellvis dude does. Hellvis Wild is still a fun concept for sure, and the gameplay isn’t too shabby either.

You get dropping golden wild respins in the base game, and each drop increases the additive wild multipliers. This can lead to decent to solid payouts, and your odds are increased in the bonus round. This is where the wild multipliers are saved per reel, so that each new dropping wild starts with a higher multiplier per reel. You can win up to 5,000x your stake, and the math model is surprisingly strong with regards to both the bonus round and max win hit rate.

Hellvis Wild Slot Features

The Ante Bet feature can be turned on between base game spins, and keeping it on will increase your bet by 50 %. The benefit is that your bonus round chances are doubled. The RTP also increases a tad with the Ante Bet turned on.

The premium symbols pay between 1 and 2 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and there are 2 different Wild symbols in this game. Both step in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, and both wilds also pay 10x your stake for 5 of a kind (but they don’t pay for less than that).

Landing a Gold Record Golden Wild triggers the Respins feature, and the golden wild moves one position down per respin. Each move increases the starting x1 multiplier by +1, and the multiplier will boost any win the wild or wilds partake in. The multipliers are added together if more than one multiplier wild is part of the same win.

The Bonus Round triggers from 3, 4, or 5 scatters in view, and this gives you 7, 11, or 15 free spins, respectively. The golden wild respins can still trigger in the bonus round, but you will then see that the multiplier level is saved above each relevant reel. This becomes the starting multiplier of the next golden wild, so it’s a progressive system. You can retrigger the bonus round the same way it was triggered in the first place.

On a final note, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the bonus round via the Buy Bonus feature. This will set you back 100x your stake, and the buy feature comes with the same RTP as the overall gameplay. The bonus round comes with an organic hit rate of 1 in 167 spins, which is better than average.

You get a brief and uneventful taste of the base game, before we purchase and trigger the bonus round at 0:26 into the 4:55-minute highlights video. We got 4 triggering scatters, which gave us 11 free spins, and you can see for yourself how it all played out by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Hellvis Wild is admittedly a catchy name that could’ve easily been picked by some garage metal band that later made it big. You get to rock with El Diablo himself on electric guitar, which is kind of fun, and we appreciate that Pragmatic Play has decided to be specific about the Ante Bet benefit this time. The metal soundtrack isn’t a massive headbanger as far as we can tell, but it will probably please fans of the genre nonetheless.

Featurewise, Hellvis Wild is a pretty decent game as well, and well-balanced at that. Golden Wild Respins with increasing multipliers can make a dent in the base game, while more serious damage can be done when the additive wild multipliers are progressive in the bonus round. It triggers fairly often as well, even without the Ante Bet turned on, and the 5,000x potential comes with a solid hit rate of 1 in 256,528 spins. Hellvis Wild might not have what it takes to go all the way to the top of the charts, but it’s still a treat for all the metal fans out there.
