Roll the Dice on the Road to Ruin or Riches – Highway to Hell
Highway to Hell is a 5-reel video slot game developed by NetEnt, one of the leading providers of casino games. Released in 2018, this slot has been gaining popularity among players due to its engaging theme and exciting gameplay features.
Theme
The game’s Highway to Hell free play theme revolves around rock ‘n’ roll and motorbikes, transporting players to a world of high-energy action and rebellion. The background depicts a cityscape at night, with neon lights reflecting off the wet pavement. The reels are framed by bold lines, creating an edgy feel reminiscent of classic music posters.
Design
The game’s visuals have been meticulously crafted to match its rebellious theme. Characters from the slot include Axl Rose and Slash (Guns N’ Roses), which adds a touch of nostalgia for fans of rock ‘n’ roll. The symbols are designed in 3D, providing an immersive experience as players spin the reels.
Symbols
The standard symbols consist of five musical instruments – guitar, microphone, drum set, keyboard, and amp – alongside three high-value card suits (Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs) and two low-value characters, Axel Steele and Eddie. The game logo functions as a Wild symbol, substituting any other icon to form winning combinations.
Payouts
Highway to Hell features 25 fixed paylines across the reels. Players can win up to 50 times their bet on each line with five Axle Steeles or Eddies. High-paying symbols (musical instruments) award between 100 and 1,000 coins for three, four, or five in a row.
Wilds
The Axl Rose logo acts as both the Wild symbol and expands to occupy an entire reel when landing on it. When multiple reels are covered by the expanding Wild, it sets off the feature’s name – "Expanded Highway Feature". The maximum number of expanded reels is three.
