- A hellish slot from Pragmatic Play packed with wilds
- An unusual, metal theme from the developer
- Build up multipliers for bigger wins
Hellvis Wild slot from Pragmatic Play brings a bit of a change from the developer that wanted to make something for fans of heavy metal. Unlike some developers like PlayNGo that use the music from big names like KISS, the music here is more generic as is the design, but it still looks good and you can tell they’ve put some effort into this. I personally found the music too much, but that’s not to say it won’t be for everyone. There are 5 reels to play on with 3 rows, giving you a total of 243 ways to win. Just look out for the base symbols that are ranked as follows:
- Jack or Queen
- King or Ace
- Pick
- Collar
- Mic
- Hand

Hellvis Wild Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. There is a wild symbol as well, shown as a record, that substitutes for all others in a winning combination apart from the scatter and golden wild symbol.
Golden Wild. This is shown as a golden record, substituting for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the scatter. Whenever it lands, it starts with a multiplier of 1x. A respin feature then starts whereby the golden record stays on screen but moves down 1 position while other symbols respin. The multiplier on it increases by 1x for each respin, and once it reaches the bottom, the feature is over. The multiplier applies to wins in which the record is part of, and if more than 1 are part of a win, they add together.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols on the same spin, giving you 7, 11 or 15 free spins, respectively. During each of these, the golden wild symbols have a multiplier that can be different for each reel. When it lands or nudges on a reel, the multiplier for future golden wilds increases by 1x. Additionally, you can land 3, 4 or 5 more scatters to get another 7, 11 or 15 free spins.
Bonus Buy. Outside the U.K., you can buy the main bonus for 100x your stake, giving you either 3, 4 or 5 scatters randomly.
Cascades. Being a Megaways slot, you can expect cascades in action here. Cascades means that winning symbols are removed from the reels and this allows new ones to fall in from above. This can create more wins and hence more cascades, all within the same spin. It only finishes once there are no more wins.
Max Megaways. This feature can trigger at random, giving you the maximum number of ways to win for the next spin.
Wild Link. If you land wild symbols on the top and bottom tracker on the same reel, this feature will trigger and turn all symbols on the reel into wilds.
Gold Link. If you trigger the wild link feature with gold wilds instead, the gold link feature will trigger and add an increasing multiplier to the wild reel which will be higher than the total amount of symbols on that reel.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered when you land at least 4 bonus symbols anywhere on the screen at the same time. 4 will give you 10 free spins, but 5 will give you 15 and 6 will give you 20. The bonus starts with a sticky wild added to a random position on the top tracker, and if it forms a link with another wild, it will disappear during that spin but reappear for the rest. In addition to this, you can land L, I, N and K special symbols which are collected and if you form the word link, you get another sticky wild on the opposite tracker plus 2 more free spins. You can then add more by doing the same again, alternating between trackers each time.
Bonus Buy. Outside the U.K., you can buy the main bonus for 100x your stake.
Conclusion
Heelvis Wild slot from Pragmatic Play certainly is a change in design from most of their slots, going with a heavy metal theme that does stand out. It won’t be for everyone, and for me personally I found the music too much quite quickly, but it’s easy enough to turn down or mute. The features are mostly focused on golden wilds which offer multipliers that can add together, and tend to be higher in the free spins bonus as you progress. There’s nothing groundbreaking about the features but they’re perfectly decent. You also get a maximum win potential of 5,000x your stake which is pretty standard for a slot like this. Overall, apart from the theme there’s nothing really unique here and I’m not sure everyone will appreciate the heavy metal, but it’s not a bad game and you may still want to give it a try.
