House of Doom

Players will find lots of online slots with a variety of themes out there, and the House of Doom slot, available at Play'n Go casinos, uses a concept based on some kind of Seer-based witchcraft. This motif is woven in and out of all of the game's features, and it has a strong aesthetic appeal as well. These factors come together with a strong set of features to offer a pretty good overall experience, and that's about the best that you can ask for with any slot based on any type of motif.

Game Layout

This title has a fairly normal layout with 10 paylines that pay left to right only, and they are spread across five reels and three horizontal rows. Like most games by this provider, you'll simply choose from a total bet size from a list of available options instead of dealing with the typical coin-based system that can be kind of confusing if you aren't paying attention. Available wagers go from $0.10 on the lower side to $100 on the higher side, putting you in a good position to have a lot of control over how much you're wagering in total no matter what level you are comfortable with.

The Hellgate Feature

You'll see a golden rectangle highlight one of the reels at random on each spin. If you get a wild on this reel, then it will expand to cover the entire thing in both directions. During the free spins, you can get between two and five hellgates on each spin, so there's obviously a bit of extra value involved there. This is a smart way of incorporating the theme of the game into a feature, which is something we're always a fan of because of the immersive type of experience it offers players.

Doom Spins Bonus Round

Three of a kind of the House of Doom symbol gives you a set of 10 free spins. You can re-trigger the feature to add extra spins by getting three or more of the wild House of Doom symbol anywhere on the game board, which is a special symbol that only appears in this part of the game. They also give you payouts of 100x for five of a kind, 25x for four, 5x for three and 0.5x for just two of a kind, making them a valuable addition to what's going on there.

Skulls of Abyss Feature

Pick up three of the scattered flaming skulls to be taken to another type of bonus round. There will be 15 skulls on the screen to choose from, and you can keep picking to get free spins, instant wins or more chances to pick. This is another feature that incorporates the theme of the game in a smart way, and we're definitely fans of how they put this together to give players chances to win several different ways inside of the same bonus round. It's hard to get much better than that in terms of the amount of value that you're getting from a bonus feature like this one.

Payouts and Prizes

The top payout comes from the seer wild symbol, and she pays 100x for five of a kind. The skull with horns gets you 70x for five, and five of the flaming rose is worth a solid 50x payout. The cross with barbed wire is worth 40x, and the pentagram gets you 35x for five of a kind. All five of these symbols pay for just two of a kind on a payline or more, and we want to remind you that all of these wins are multiplied by your whole bet and not the line bet wagers.

Five card rank symbols appear on the reels as well. The A, K, Q, J and 10 symbols all have a Gothic look to them in red, and they pay between 10x and 7.5x for five of a kind each.

Overview

House of Doom is a game that Play'n Go has put together with a dark and entertaining theme. They haven't just relied on spooky visuals for this title, however, and you'll find that its gameplay is very appealing as well. The top regular prize is the equivalent of a 1,000x line bet win, and that helps to show that the pay table is pretty balanced, and the features allow you to win some pretty good total payouts without pushing the volatility too far up.
