Hell of a Deal Slot Review

Making a deal with the devil to try and win a game might be a bit much, but playing a video slot based on the concept? Gambling is full of risks, and that’s why we recommend safety measures such as timeout or self-exclusion functions. In Hell of a Deal from Light and Wonder, the Devil may modify your 5 reels or decide if you win free spins or cash prizes. Think carefully before you play; it’s not just about winning symbols.

Deal with the Devil

The concept of the deal with the Devil has been around for centuries, as evidenced by Theophilius of Adana, Faust, Robert Johnson, and “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” The story generally goes that a mortal man sells his soul in return for wealth, power, eternal life, musical ability or something else desirable. It rarely ends well. Part of the Hell of a Deal bonus features is playing the devil for prizes, and another part is him playing with your reels.

The Fires of Hell

Slots love old stories like the deal with the Devil, so it’s no surprise that the Hell of a Deal slot embraces its demonic inspiration. Flames burn around the reels, constantly animated, and there’s an orangish cast to everything, making it the opposite of Fishin Frenzy. The Devil himself looms over everything, but his cartoony design is as much fun as it is menacing. This isn’t one of those slots that sets out to be terrifying.

Symbols include the actual paper contract of the deal, the hourglass that counts your time running out, a goat’s skull, and the Devil’s throne, alongside the generic card suits used as low-value symbols.

Hell of a Deal RTP and Variance

The RTP of the Hell of a Deal slot is 96.13%. The variance is currently unknown.

How to Play Hell of a Deal

1. Contracts with the Devil are always strict with the terminology, and we suggest you’re just as strict with budgeting and limits.


2. The help page, with the game rules, value of winning symbols and how features work, is linked both in the menu and settings.


3. Also in the settings, you’ll find the mute button.


4. Clicking the bet button reveals the plus and minus symbols to adjust your wager. The minimum is 0.10.


5. You’re all set. Hit that spin button, then wait and see. Slots always have random results.
6. Be responsible, and know when to stop.

How to Win at Hell of a Deal

This 5-reel slot has 20 paylines. Wins come from matching 3, 4, or 5 identical symbols across a payline. The payout potential depends on the number and type of symbols. Bonus features can also impact the total payout, as our review will explain later.

Top Wins

• All 4 low-value card suits have the same win multiplier. For 5 matches, it’s x2 your stake.


• The highest-paying themed symbol is the skull with its x25 win multiplier.


• Wilds are also worth up to x25, in addition to substituting for regular symbols.


• If you reach x500, the round ends.

Hell of a Deal Bonuses

The Devil can switch your reels, or add wilds or bonus symbols. He’ll also play you for free spins or cash prizes. Then there’s the hold and win round.

Devil Modifiers

These can occur randomly in the base game or during free spins:

• Reel switch: The positions of two reels are reversed after symbols land, before payouts are awarded.


• Random wilds: Between 2 and 15 regular symbols are swapped for wilds before any pay awards.


• Random bonus: If you don’t trigger the bonus, up to 3 bonus symbols may be added to the reels.

Hell of a Deal Bonus

Walk up to the Gates of Hell. This is a scatter symbol, so it doesn’t need to land on a payline, but you do need 3 of them. It’s the Devil’s choice if you play for free spins, cash prizes, or both.

You pick 1 of 22 boxes, then eliminate others over 6 rounds of play. The Devil offers deals throughout, and at the end, you can keep or swap your box. Prizes range from x15 to x500 cash or 12 to 30 free spins. During free spins, each gold coin scatter symbol has a cash value that may be randomly collected if there are fewer than 6 coins in view.

Hold and Spin

It takes 6 gold coin scatters to trigger 3 respins. You can reset the spin count with more coins. One position on the reels is the Hot Zone, and coins that land there can increase the value of surrounding coins. Your total win is calculated from all the coins at the end of the round. Find the x500 coin, and the feature ends.

Hell of a Deal Review - Summary

It’s a risky business making a deal with the Devil, but in Hell of a Deal, he controls your bonuses. Many slots offer free spins, but not all make you play the Devil to decide how many you’ll win. This Devil can modify your game in other ways, too, and adds unique twists that aren’t usually found in other Light and Wonder slots.
