Games Global and its exclusive studio partner, Stormcraft Studios, have launched Hot as Hades Power Combo™, reviving the lovable character of Hades and aligning it with the Link&Win™, Power Combo™, and Upsizer™ mechanics.
The fiery volcanic underworld serves as a familiar setting for the next-gen iteration of a popular theme, where the three-headed Cerberus reigns over the reels, with each head activating a unique Link&Win™ respin feature.
Each feature begins with three respins, and every additional cash value or modifier resets the number of spins. Activating the Connector feature introduces increasing multipliers up to 15x. Completing a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line with Cash Coins increments the multiplier, which starts at 2x and is applied to all values in the line.
The Collector feature is played with Cash Collect Coins, each of which accumulates the value of all cash prizes on the grid at the time of landing. The Jackpot feature unveils Jackpot Coins. Collecting four Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand Jackpot Coins has the potential to award the corresponding prize, worth 15x, 50x, 500x, or 5,000x the bet, respectively.
The Power Combo™ mechanic, which is widely utilised across Games Global’s portfolio, adds depth to gameplay. It can activate the Link&Win™ feature with any combination of the three modifiers, ensuring every session is unique.
In alignment with growing industry trends, a fully configurable bonus buy option has been integrated in specific markets, giving players direct access to the feature with any combination of modifiers. The Upsizer™ option grants further agency to players, offering the opportunity to upgrade the feature activated for an increased wager.
Hot as Hades Power Combo™ highlights Games Global’s commitment to transforming single titles into versatile game brands. With its extensive expertise in crafting franchises, Stormcraft Studios has modernised this vintage title that the team originally created, providing new layers of entertainment that enhance the player experience.
Terence Igesund, Executive Producer at Stormcraft Studios, said:
There is always a delicate balance to be struck between familiarity and novelty when building on historical content.
In Hot as Hades Power Combo™, the key was to creatively expand our mischievous take on Hades, the quirky god of the underworld that we first brought to life many years ago, while also delivering a thrilling and novel gameplay experience with the Power Combo™ mechanic.
Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, added:
We have no doubt Hot as Hades Power Combo™ will catch the eye of players when it lands in operator lobbies.
It has been carefully crafted to resonate with fans of the original, as well as maximise appeal for potential new players through the integration of mechanics that have proven successful across our portfolio.
