Hell’s Kitchen slot review (Netent)

Hell’s Kitchen – Excellent slot for Gordon Ramsey lovers

Hell’s Kitchen was announced almost a year ago, and how long did we have to wait to get to play this slot finally!

Probably, the earlier versions didn’t meet Gordon’s expectations. And we all know he’s a perfectionist.

Now, it’s up to me to give my verdict on his slot!

Well, I must say that the slot looks terrific. If you weren’t hungry at the start, you’d be after you start to play.

The animations are spot-on and close to perfect. The features won’t win the first prize for originality or innovation, but who cares?

SLOT: Hell’s Kitchen | SOFTWARE: NETENT   Number of paylines: 20 fixed paylines RTP and variance: 96.07%, Medium-Low variance Maximum win: Unknown Betting range: $€0.20 – $€400 Bonus features: Team Challenge Free Spins, Pick-and-Click Bonus game Pasadena Pinot Fest Casinos verdict: Hot, but not HOT! Graphically excellent, but the mathematical model doesn’t appeal.

 

The slot suits those players seeking entertainment and gaming fun. Don’t expect to win anything massive because that won’t happen. If you’re seeking the more massive wins, you need to play the more volatile slots.

Gameplay and Features

Hell’s Kitchen is a 5-reel slot machine and has 20 fixed paylines.

The highs are the Roasted Meat, a Hamburger, an Ice Tea and a Browny with a scoop of icecream. The lows are the A, K, Q and J symbols.

A five-of-a-kind of Rolled Meats yields a 10x win. So a full screen of these delicious meat symbols gets you a 200x win.

The Hell’s Kitchen logos are the Wilds, and Gordon himself is the Scatter symbol.

Random Wilds

In the main game, now and then, you win 5 to 7 random wilds.

It happens when Gordon loses patience and starts to throw knives, plates, or pots on the reels. Yes, sometimes it helps to get him angry!

Free spins – cooking competition

You win 10 or 15 free spins if you manage to land 3 or 4 Scatters.

Now you get involved in a cooking competition (“the red team” against “the blue team”), and it’s up to you to decide which team you want to support.

Afterwards, both teams start to cook.

You see two sets of reels on your screen, and after the 10 or 15 free spins, you’ll find out which team will be declared the winner. There’re also x2, and x3 multipliers involved so that things can be pretty hectic in the kitchens!

The good news is that you get the winnings of both teams. Picking the right team (red or blue) is only relevant to getting access to Gordon’s Bonus Game (Pick-and-Click Bonus game).

Free spins – Gordon’s Bonus Game

In this game, you see 15 menus, and you need to open the right ones with this Pick-and-Click Bonus game.

Once you get three crosses, you’re out, after which all cash prizes will be added to your balance. If you’re lucky, your winnings increase with a multiplier.

Hell’s Kitchen slot: the payout rate (RTP) is 96.07%.

Hell’s Kitchen slot: the variance (volatility) is low to medium

The game is a low to medium variance and is more designed for players seeking entertainment and gaming fun. Don’t expect to see wins exceeding 500x.

If you do, you’re fortunate!

Pros en Cons Advantages: √  Excellent slot for Gordon Ramsey fans √  Wide range of features √  The slot is Gordon-proof and therefore of top quality Disadvantages: χ  If you’re on a diet, don’t play this slot! χ  The mathematical model is flawed. You get too many wins in the (relatively dull) main game, and the result is that you don’t get to play the free spins too often. With a low variance slot, it’s about entertainment. To make that happen, you want to see the free spins more often and stay away from the more boring main game.   You may like The most popular Netent slots The top 10 most volatile Netent slots List of Netent slots
