How It Pays / Grid / Paylines
this slot runs on a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 14 fixed paylines stretching left to right. Bets span 0.10 to 75 per spin, or up to 375 via bonus bet. Hit frequency sits at 29.1%, so wins land often enough to keep rhythm steady.
The game pays through 10 regular symbols. Hades (the star) hits 2x to 15x the bet; Persephone lands 1.20x to 7.50x; Cerberus 0.70x to 5x; Marble Columns and Charon 0.50x to 3x. Low cards (A, K, Q, J, 10 in Greek style) deliver 0.20x to 1.50x. Regular wilds pay 15x for five on an active line and substitute for all others.
DuelReels Mechanic – The Core Engine
VS is a bonus symbol that can land anywhere. When it participates in a win, it expands and triggers a duel between Hades and Persephone. Each duelist carries a random wild multiplier: x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, x9, x10, x15, x20, x25, x50, or x100. The winner’s multiplier applies to all combos linked to that Wild Reel. Land multiple DuelReels in one combo and multipliers stack – sharp tool when base feels flat.
Each expanded VS symbol may also carry a Cash Prize. The possible values are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x, or Max Win. If the duelist wins, the prize is added to line winnings. This is where the slot grows teeth.
Three Free Spins Modes
King’s Defence: Land 3 scatters to trigger 10 free spins. DuelReels activation rate increases. Extra scatters (2 or 3) grant +2 or +4 spins.
Queen’s Dominion: Land 4 scatters for 10 free spins. Keeps King’s Defence mechanics plus a boost: each expanded VS symbol is guaranteed at least one dueling Cash Prize.
Immortal Mate: Land 5 scatters for the ultimate round – 10 free spins with guaranteed 2 VS symbols per spin. Each DuelReel carries 2 Cash Prizes of at least 10x the bet. This mode cannot be bought; trigger only.

RTP / Volatility / Max Win
this slot carries a default RTP of 96.27%. Alternative tiers (94.29%, 92.37%, 86.28%) are available but best avoided. Volatility is high (4 out of 5), meaning swings are real and spins can run dry before a big hit lands.
Theme / Visuals
Hacksaw Gaming draws from the myth of Hades and Persephone in anime style. The grid sits between their thrones, both smouldering in blue flame against grey underworld tones. Animation and audio sync with the darker vibe – no cheerful candy-slot energy here. The story is a loose riff on the myth, not a strict retelling, but the atmosphere lands hard.
