Highway to Hell Slot (Nolimit City)

The Highway to Hell slot begins with 6 reels, 4 rows and 1,296 ways to win. Reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 will have Enhancer Cells in the bottom positions so are not active initially. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more matching symbols appear from left to right, in any position and beginning from the leftmost reel. Just the highest payout per way to win win will be awarded/won.

When it comes to bet options, the minimum bet is 20p per spin. Rising up to £100 a spin, there is a ‘Coins’ icon where you can edit your stake or see all options. As with all Nolimit City slot games, it’s easy to do. Non-UK players have the added functionality of Autoplay (up to 1,000 auto spins) and Turbo Mode.

The Highway to Hell RTP rate is 96.03% with 61.93% coming in the base game and 34.1% from the bonus features. In fact, Nolimit City has created 95.29%, 94.06^ and 92.1% alternative RTP settings (open the Paytable to see which rate you’re playing with). As with all demo slot games at OLBG, the highest RTP rate is used where possible.

With extreme volatility (10/10), winning combinations will form every 3.6 spins on average as the hit frequency rate is 27.74%. You can also expect to trigger the Hell Spins feature every 1 in 198 spins.

The Highway to Hell slot game comes with 20,066 times bet max wins. Known as ‘Licence and Registration Pls’, the probability of winning this is 1 in 10.3 million spins (i.e the max win probability). To win 100 times your total bet or higher, it will occur every 1 in 968 spins.

With a biker theme, the Highway to Hell slot sees you join the notorious motorcycle gang MC Hellbound on the roads to hell. Set on an open road somewhere in the USA, these speed demons don’t slow down for the police with those who can face the fire allowed to join.

Engulfed in flames, the soundtrack is heavy metal rock which suits the hard-hitting nature of the demon riders. On the reels, symbols include flaming dice, a flaming Ace of Spades playing card, a 13 of Spades playing card, a flaming skull and a demon head. The higher-value symbols are represented by 5 skeleton bikers who resemble Marvel’s Ghost Rider: the best-paying biker pays 2 times your total bet for 6 in combination.

Highway to Hell also comes with several special symbols. There is a regular Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols above. Additionally, there are xNudge Wild, Demon, xWays, xSplit, Bonus Scatter or Hellevator Booster symbols. I will go into their functions in the Bonus Features section below.

Highway to Hell Mobile

With Nolimit City using HTML5 to create their slot games, Highway to Hell is available to play on mobile, laptop, PC and tablet devices. Detecting and adapting to whatever device you choose, it’s compatible with iOS and Android smartphones with Portrait Mode deployed for a better visual experience. To capture the full experience, in my opinion, a larger screen is recommended.

The Highway to Hell slot comes with plenty of bonus features. With Avalanches, there is an Avasplit Effect where winning symbols increase in size for more ways to win. Combining xNudge Wild multipliers, xWays, xSplit Wilds and Demon symbols with multipliers, there are Enhancer Cells. They all combine in the Hell Spins feature where Hellevator Boosters can accumulate multipliers to devastating effect.

Avalanches

Beginning with 6 reels, 4 rows and 1,296 ways to win, you will notice there are locked Enhancer Cells at the bottom of the middle 4 reels. When you land a winning combination (3+ matching symbols on successive reels beginning from the leftmost reel), the Avalanche feature comes into play.

The winning symbols explode and disappear to allow new symbols to fall/cascade in. With every win, an Enhancer Cell position unlocks, beginning from left to right.

Avasplit Effect

Additionally, and when winning symbols explode, some of the remaining symbols can be randomly chosen for the Avasplit Effect. This increases their symbol size by 1 giving you more ways to win.

xNudge Wilds

When part of an xNudge Wild symbol lands on the reels, it will nudge up or down until fully visible on the reels it lands on. With each nudge, the xNudge Wild multiplier increases by 1.

If a nudged-over symbol already has a multiplier, its value will also be added to the xNudge Wild multiplier. However, xNudge Wild won’t nudge down on locked Enhancer Cell positions. Finally, xNudge Wilds can begin with a higher starting multiplier if it originates from a Hellevator Booster than already has a multiplier.

Enhancer Cells

Like in other Nolimit games such as Mental, Fire in the Hole 2 and San Quentin 2: Death Row, Highway to Hell comes with Enhancer Cells.

Once unlocked, a symbol is revealed. If the revealed symbol is removed, a new symbol appears in its position on the next avalanche. Symbols never land on Enhancer Cell positions from the main reel area.

Demon

Look out for the Demon symbol landing as this removes a random number of symbols from the reels. The exception are symbols larger than size 1. The Demon symbol transforms into a random paying symbol with a multiplier equal to the number of removed symbols.

If the Demon symbol appears with a winning combination, it is triggered once the winning symbols are removed. It will contain a 1x multiplier value if there is no win with no symbols removed.

xWays

xWays symbols, when they appear, transform into paying symbol or Wild. Revealing 2 to 4 symbols of the same kind, the number of ways to win increases as a result. If multiple xWays symbols land on the reels, all xWays symbols will transform into the same symbol.

xSplit

When the xSplit symbol lands, it splits all symbols on the reel it lands on and doubles the symbol size. Converting itself into a Wild symbol, it can split all symbols bar the Scatter.

Hell Spins

The Highway to Hell slot comes with a Hell Spins feature: it’s triggered by landing 3 Bonus Scatter symbols or a Hellevator Booster in the base game. With 8 free spins awarded, the Hellevator Booster landing when triggering the feature or during the free spins will see it become sticky throughout the feature.

The Hellevator Booster reveals a randomly chosen symbol whilst not being removed by the Demon symbol. If the revealed symbol is part of a winning combination, it will be removed with a new symbol revealed on the next avalanche.

When the Hellevator Booster has a multiplier, the value is stored throughout the feature. If an xNudge Wild increases the Hellevator Booster’s multiplier, it only applies for the current free spin and reverts back to its previous value on the next free spin. Enhancer Cell symbols also reset on every free spin.

There is also a Scatter Meter where landing Scatters are collected. When you collect 3, 2 extra free spins are awarded. Furthermore, a Hellevator Booster is added for the next free spin.

Nolimit Booster

Like with all Nolimit City games, Highway to Hell comes with a Nolimit Booster feature. With 2 options, all details are highlighted below:

• xBet: Costing 2.4 x bet, you are guaranteed a Bonus Scatter symbol on reel 1. The RTP rate is 96.03%.
• Bonus Hunt: Costing 15 x bet, you are guaranteed blank, Bonus Scatter or Hellevator Booster symbols. The RTP rate is 95.96%.

Nolimit Bonus

For players located outside the UK, there is an optional Nolimit Bonus feature. Allowing you to purchase various extras, below are all the options:

God Mode

For 3,800 times your total bet, you can purchase the God Mode feature. This gives you the chance of landing a Max Win symbol which will award a payout of 20,066 times your total bet. The RTP rate is 95.94%. Other games to offer this extra include Outsourced and Loner.

Highway to Hell Slot

Rating: 4.1/5

Highway to Hell sees you join ghost speed demons and combines lots of popular Nolimit City mechanics which can combine for up to 20,066 x bet max wins.

Chris Taylor

In the Highway to Hell slot, Nolimit City has added a lot of their in-house mechanics including xWays, xNudge Wilds, xSplit and Enhancer Cells. Nolimit has focuses more on the latter in previous releases though but it still serves the same functionality.

I found the way to win big is for xSplit and xWays to combine to drastically change the number of ways to win. There is a new Avasplit Effect feature which sees symbols increase their size by 1. I also like the Demon symbol as it removes a random number of symbols and then transforms into a random symbol with a multiplier equal to the number of banished symbols. It did remind me a little of the xZone feature/mechanic found in Gluttony.

In the Hell Spins feature, it’s all about the Hellevator Booster which can collect multipliers. Combined with all the other extras, this is where you’re more like to achieve the 20,066 times bet max wins possible.

Whilst not innovative or unique, the Highway to Hell slot combines various mechanics for an unforgettable trip for these speed demons. If you want more rip-roaring action on motorcycles, Relax Gaming’s Dead Riders Trail is an obvious choice which comes with 50,000 times bet max wins.
