Inside the game
How Gates Of Hades works
Cluster wins create tumbles, Wild values collect above their own reels and the relevant stored values can strengthen later qualifying clusters. The base sequence resets; the Free Spins feature can keep reel values across spins.
Eight symbols pay anywhere
The current playable card labels the 6×6 format as Cluster Pays. The separate corporate description says eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the screen can win; those symbols need no payline path. A qualifying win removes symbols and makes room for a tumble. The photographed opening and two later boards show the full grid, but they are not three independent examples of an eight-symbol payout. Watch the highlighted winning cluster in the live demo before treating a nearby Wild or top value as part of that result.
Wild values collect over their reels
Pragmatic Play's current playable detail gives Wild multipliers up to 100× in the base game. Each Wild value is collected above its own reel; subsequent qualifying tumbles on relevant reels use the sum of applicable stored values. The meters clear at the end of the base tumble sequence. Our first captured provider instruction literally points players to clusters on those reels, and the third frame shows an 8× top marker beside a $2.10 ordinary result. Neither frame proves that every visible number multiplies every cluster. The separate corporate article describes a total across a spin, which is why source and edition matter here.
Scatter count sets the starting spins
The current playable detail maps three, four, five and six Scatters to 10, 12, 15 and 20 initial Free Spins. It also describes retriggers of up to 12 additional spins, possible Wild values up to 500× in the feature and a special 10× minimum when six or more Scatters start it. The $200 and $1,000 purchase buttons in our ordinary screenshots are optional virtual-demo controls and do not prove any Scatter award occurred. The corporate article instead offers a fixed 15-spin sentence and contradictory three- versus four-Scatter thresholds; this review follows the current playable card for the exact edition.
Feature multipliers persist by reel
The playable description says collected values above the respective reels last throughout Free Spins. A later qualifying cluster uses the multiplier values relevant to the reels it occupies, so both the positions and the number of remaining spins matter. Up to 500× is the possible feature value published for this edition; it is not a photographed result in our gallery. Our images contain only a tutorial and ordinary states, with no persistent feature meter or completed bonus total. Players should test several virtual rounds before deciding whether the position-by-position build is satisfying rather than extrapolating from one top marker.
Which reel stores each Wild value, and whether a later winning cluster uses it
What to look for in the demo
- Count matching symbols across the whole grid
Use the 6×6 board to find the winning cluster first. The provider's description says eight or more matching symbols anywhere can pay; adjacency or a payline is not required. Only then compare that cluster's reel positions with any stored top-of-reel values. Our first frame is an instruction overlay and the next is an in-progress spin, so neither by itself supplies a settled cluster count.
- Track the reel meter after a Wild
When a Wild appears, note the reel above which its value is collected. During the ordinary tumble sequence, later wins on relevant reels can use the sum of their stored values; the meters clear when that sequence ends. A number above another reel does not automatically enlarge a cluster elsewhere. The third gallery frame shows an 8× marker and $2.10 paid result but cannot by itself establish the frequency of this interaction, so use the live demo to observe the sequence from reveal to reset.
- Compare Scatter awards and persistence
If the live demo reaches Free Spins, count the Scatters before the round begins: three, four, five and six mean 10, 12, 15 and 20 initial spins according to the current playable detail. Then watch which reel meters keep values across spins. The provider says a retrigger can add up to 12 spins and feature values can reach 500×. Our gallery contains no such entry or result, so it is a viewing checklist rather than an illustrated payout claim.

The current Pragmatic Play playable detail lists 96.52% RTP, Medium volatility, a 10,000× maximum and a 6×6 Cluster Pays board. It describes Wild values up to 100× in ordinary play and 500× in Free Spins, with reel-specific collection and 10/12/15/20 starting spins for three/four/five/six Scatters. Its separate corporate article gives a different global-addition mechanic and fixed 15-spin sentence; that source also contradicts itself on the Scatter threshold. We identify the current playable detail as this review's mechanic source. The five illuminated VOLATILITY bolts in our opening frame have no printed category, and virtual buy buttons shown in the demo do not establish a casino offer. Actual RTP options and feature availability can vary by operator.
04 / The SlotsCollector take
A broader, darker Gates game that remains easy to read
Gates of Hades puts collected Wild multipliers above individual reels on a 6×6 tumble board. The current playable rules award 10–20 initial Free Spins by Scatter count; our three real captures show the instruction, an ordinary board and a $2.10 ordinary result.
Gates of Hades is more interesting than a simple darker reskin once you watch where a Wild value goes. The current Pragmatic Play playable detail assigns a multiplier to a meter above its respective reel. On a 6×6 pay-anywhere board, a qualifying cluster that touches the relevant reels can use the sum of their stored values on later tumbles. In ordinary play those reel meters clear when the tumble sequence ends; the playable detail says they remain for the Free Spins feature. It lists values up to 100× in the base game and up to 500× in the bonus. Three, four, five and six Scatters start 10, 12, 15 and 20 Free Spins respectively, with the provider also describing retriggers of up to 12 extra spins. That creates two things worth observing in the free demo: which reels collect values, and whether a later winning cluster actually uses those positions. A large number above an irrelevant reel is not a universal boost. Our first gallery image is an instruction overlay that explicitly says the top values apply to clusters on those reels; the second is an in-progress $2 virtual board; the third is a distinct ordinary $2.10 result. None proves a Scatter award or a completed feature return. The separate Pragmatic Play corporate article describes an additive total across a spin and a fixed 15-spin entry, and even gives two different Scatter thresholds within that one page. Those statements do not match the current playable detail or its photographed reel-specific instruction, so this review follows the playable edition and makes the disagreement visible instead of blending the rule sets. The current card labels Medium volatility, 96.52% RTP and a 10,000× maximum. Its printed volatility label is more specific than the five unlabeled bolts in the opening overlay; none of these specifications forecasts what a short virtual session will pay. The buy controls shown in the ordinary capture are demo interface options, not casino availability promises. Players who like watching the board and asking why a particular cluster received a boost get a useful spatial puzzle here. Anyone expecting every revealed multiplier to lift every win should first test the live demo and read the positions carefully.

Prefer exploding Wilds on Megaways reels?Witch Heart Megaways lets its special Wilds contribute to three winning line combinations before exploding into more Wilds across the grid. Gates of Hades instead holds multiplier values in meters above particular reels and applies them to relevant later clusters. Choose Witch Heart for a spreading-Wild chain or Hades for a position-by-position multiplier track.
