Hades: River of Souls Bonus Features

Hades: River of Souls builds its gameplay through a fusion of staple video slot features and innovative mechanics that truly elevate the game. Sure, Free Spins is what every player aims to get to, but Hades still makes sure that the base game has plenty of twists and turns to keep you engaged until the main event begins.

Avalanche Feature

With the Avalanche feature, Hades: River of Souls offers players the chance to capitalize on their wins, by removing winning symbols from the reels and re-spinning their positions. Hopefully the winning streak will continue, and players will be able to score additional victories.

Wilds

In mirroring the phenomenon of lost souls making their way across the river Styx, Hades: River of Souls has included a secondary set of reels above the main board. Submerged beneath the waters of the legendary River, these secondary reels form part of the game’s Avalanche feature. Only Wild symbols may land on the reels and they will gently make their way onto the main board whenever the Avalanche feature removes winning symbols.

That’s where the Win Multiplier comes into play. During the base game, players start with a x1 multiplier that increments with a value of 1 for every 3 Wild symbols that are gathered. Of course the multiplier ends once the Avalanche feature runs out but the accumulated multiplier is still applied to your total win amount.

Charon Bonus

Players can also land the Charon symbol randomly at any point during the game. This will activate the Charon Bonus as soon as the last Avalanche spin is done. Charon’s skull will float around the reels, removing between 2 to 10 symbols and allowing for one last hurrah before returning back to regular spins.

Scatter Symbol

The Trident symbol is Hades: River of Souls’ Scatter symbol. 3 of these tokens will unlock the way to free spins with 10 bonus rounds and any additional Scatter symbols will add another 5 extra spins each.

Free Spins

As the main event in Hades: River of Souls, the Free Spins mode is where players can capitalize on the slot’s biggest rewards. Here, the Win Multiplier is active for the duration of the bonus and every 3 Wild symbols add a +2 value to it instead. Charon Bonuses are also more frequent, so you can expect to get as close as you can to the slot’s x5,058.40 maximum win amount. Free Spins can also be re-triggered by landing more Scatter symbol combinations.

Hades: River of Souls Jackpot

There is no dedicated jackpot feature to speak of, but by making use of all the game’s features combined, players can land a maximum win of x5,058.48

RTP & Volatility

With high volatility and a return to player rate of 96.56%, expect wins not to happen too frequently, although the rewards they carry will be worth the wait. If this doesn’t sound too enticing for you, we have a selection of best RTP slots that you have to check out.
