Special features of Def Leppard: Hysteria slot

The Def Leppard: Hysteria slot machine has four extra special features. The features are called after phrases from the Pour Some Sugar on Me song. There is a random feature that shuffles the symbols and adds wilds. During the free spins, the Charge Meter provides Dropping Multiplier Wilds with a maximum multiplier of 7x. There’s also a random option that transforms up to 9 random symbols into the Charge Meter symbol.

Cascading feature

Everytime a winning combination is formed, the included symbols disappear and leave space for new symbols to land in their place. The cascades will continue until no more winning combinations are formed.

Break it up feature

The Break It Up feature can be triggered at random during a non-winning spin. The symbols are shuffled into new locations, and 3 to 6 wilds are added to the grid. This enhances your chances of producing a winning cluster significantly.

Fire me up feature

The Charge Meter picks a symbol (excluding the wild) at random on each base game spin. If you win with that symbol, the charge meter is filled. You may do this by accumulating four specified symbol wins. When the meter is full and no more wins are generated, the Fire Me Up feature activates, adding 3 to 6 wilds to the grid.

When the Charge Meter fills up, 3 to 6 wild symbols are added to the grid, generating more wins.

Pour Some Sugar on Me feature

If a winning cluster is formed on one of the highlighted positions, you will activate a letter from the SUGAR word. Activating all letters in a single spin activates the Pour Some Sugar on Me feature, which awards 5 free spins.

The Charge Meter functions similarly to the standard game, but instead of Wilds, it provides Dropping Multiplier Wilds. With each cascade, the wild moves down one level, and the multiplier value increases by one up to 7x. If there are numerous Dropping Multiplier Wilds in a cluster, only the highest multiplier number will be applied.

Finally, the Sugar Me Sweet feature can be triggered during a non-winning free spin. 6 to 9 random symbols are picked and transformed into Charge Meter symbols.

Overall

In general, the Def Leppard: Hysteria slot is quite good at delivering great wins and even more exciting features. These include random Wilds, Wilds with multipliers and Free Spins. The key feature and goal of the slot is generally filling the Charge Meter which could be done both in the base game and during the Free Spins. The maximum payout is rated at 10,000 times the initial bet.
