Popular at present are superhero slots, the newest of which is Hellboy, courtesy of Microgaming.

This one is ‘hot’ with more than just a comic book character from hell to raise the temperature. The game features both an underworld and supermode bonus round with the characters from the Paranormal Research and Defense, the once created comic figures by Mike Mignola, writer and artist from1993. Of course, this is Microgaming’s version, but the slot does not disappoint with visually superior graphics, features and animation.

Trigger 3 to 5 scatters and find the hidden relic in the ‘underworld bonus’ by defeating hellish beasts. Pass through all four levels and enter into the chamber of fire and retrieve the hottest prize from out of the fire. Summon 10 free spins from the depths, meanwhile watch out for the flames as they are getting hotter the closer players get to the source of all evil, and it sounds like this: Cha ching! Cha ching!
