Champion of the Underworld

Visually, you can draw similarities between Champion of the Underworld and Hades Gigablox. Both slots are dark, take place underground and have some creepy elements.

However, the design including animations of Hades Gigablox managed to convince us just a bit more. That is not to say that the design of Champion of the Underworld is bad.

Champion of the Underworld RTP, Betting & Volatility

You can play Champion of the Underworld with a minimum bet of $0.20 per spin and a maximum bet of $100.

The playing field basically has dimensions of 6×4 and so there is room for 24 symbols, but due to the gigablox mechanism there are often fewer of them. The RTP is 96.00%, although there are versions of Champion of the Underworld with a lower RTP.

So, check beforehand the RTP of the version you are going to play. Furthermore, the variance of payouts is high, and you can win up to 10,000 times your bet. In terms of statistics, everything here is pretty average.

Features

There is no online slots mechanism that more clearly defines content than the gigablox mechanism. This mechanism fuses reels together to create symbols of gigantic size.

Champion of the Underworld involves symbols with dimensions of at least 2×2 and up to 4×4. For calculating winning combinations, gigablox symbols are imaginary split into normal 1×1 symbols.

Then on to the features, of which there are two in Champion of the Underworld. These in this case are the wild fight feature and the free spins feature.

Wild fight

During the base game of Champion of the Underworld, the wild fight feature can become active at any time. During the free spins feature, this feature is even active every spin.

Once the feature is activated, you will see Hades (the Greek god of the underworld) make his appearance on the playing field. He goes into battle with every high paying symbol in the game. If Hades wins a battle, he turns the high pay symbol into a wild one.

By the way, he also just goes into battle with gigablox symbols, provided it is a high pay symbol. Whether Hades wins or loses is determined completely at random.

To be Champion of the Underworld, you must constantly keep proving yourself!

Champion of the Underworld free spins

Scatters can land in Champion of the Underworld as 1×1 symbols or as gigablox symbols. Five scatters are needed to trigger the free spins feature. For every scatter you activate the free spins feature with, you will receive one free spin. You have the option to gamble with the obtained free spins.

During this gamble feature, you must draw 1 sword blind from a dozen swords. A golden sword earns you extra free spins, while a broken sword will cause you to lose all your free spins. So think carefully before playing this gamble feature.

As we also mentioned earlier, the wild fight feature is active every spin. In addition, there is also a win multiplier, which starts at x1. Every time Hades wins a fight from a high pay symbol (and turns this pay symbol into a wild), a special counter is increased by 1 point.

• Once the counter hits 9, the multiplier is increased by +1 to x2.
• Another 11 points on the counter increase the multiplier to x3.
• Another 13 points on the counter increase the multiplier to x5.
• Another 15 points on the counter increase the multiplier to x10.
• Another 17 points on the counter increase the multiplier to x25.

Each time the multiplier is increased, 2 additional free spins are awarded.

Our Opinion

We can get used to the idea of an “of the underworld” series. Where Hades Gigablox was a resounding success before, Champion of the Underworld does the same.

Champion of the Underworld is a slot machine that is visually well put together, but also has plenty of entertaining features to offer. Especially the wild fight feature and the gigablox mechanism convince us. The statistics are not bad either, although they could have been a little better.
