Play House of Doom in New Zealand

House of Doom centres its pokies action on a reel that is randomly chosen for possible Wild expansion. House of Doom then develops that idea during Doom Spins, where between 2 and 5 reels can be highlighted in one round. House of Doom is a Play’n GO release from 12 March 2018 with five reels, three rows and 10 fixed paylines.

House of Doom Game Overview

House of Doom uses a horror mansion, occult symbols and a heavy-music atmosphere around its conventional payline format. House of Doom puts the Seer Wild at the centre of the base game because that symbol can cover an entire highlighted reel. House of Doom separates its bonus triggers by placing the mansion Scatters on the odd-numbered reels and Skull symbols on the three middle reels.

House of Doom offers Doom Spins from the mansion combination and Skulls of Abyss from the Skull combination. House of Doom connects the two bonuses by hiding a possible Doom Spins award within the skull-picking screen. House of Doom leaves both the reel highlight and the concealed selections to chance rather than player timing.

How Does House of Doom Work?

House of Doom forms winning combinations on 10 fixed lines crossing its five reels. House of Doom uses the Seer as a substitute for ordinary pay symbols, while two or more adjacent Seer Wilds can also pay along a line. House of Doom treats Scatters and Bonus symbols separately from that substitution rule.

House of Doom identifies one reel as the Hellgate reel on each base spin. House of Doom expands a Seer to cover the full reel if it lands in that selected column, potentially connecting several paylines at once. House of Doom cannot be influenced by stopping the reels manually because the full outcome is determined by the game system.

House of Doom Hellgate Expanding Wild

House of Doom applies Hellgate without requiring a separate trigger symbol. House of Doom highlights one of the five reels and waits to see whether a Seer Wild appears on that reel. House of Doom replaces the remaining positions in the column with Wilds when the condition is fulfilled.

House of Doom may complete a spin with no Hellgate expansion if the highlighted column contains no Seer. House of Doom does not preserve an unused highlight for a later spin or permit its position to be changed. House of Doom begins each pokies round with a new random result.

House of Doom Doom Spins

House of Doom starts Doom Spins after mansion Scatters land together on reels 1, 3 and 5. House of Doom grants 10 initial free spins and expands the Hellgate system so that two, three, four or five reels can be selected. House of Doom ensures that the highlighted group includes at least one odd-numbered Scatter reel.

House of Doom makes each mansion symbol an extra Wild during the feature. House of Doom can add further spins through qualifying Wild House of Doom symbols and expands a Wild when it meets a highlighted reel. House of Doom cannot promise a retrigger or a full set of expanded reels before the feature ends.

House of Doom Skulls of Abyss Bonus

House of Doom opens Skulls of Abyss when a Skull lands on each of reels 2, 3 and 4. House of Doom hides total-bet values behind selectable skulls, with 1x, 2x and 3x results allowing the picking sequence to continue. House of Doom also hides a mansion symbol capable of awarding Doom Spins.

House of Doom stops the bonus when an end result appears. House of Doom includes 5x and 20x total-bet outcomes among those closing symbols, alongside the mansion route into free spins. House of Doom does not display where any result is placed before the selection is made.

House of Doom Free Spins

House of Doom names its free-spins mode Doom Spins. House of Doom carries the triggering wager into a set of 10 spins and increases Wild-reel opportunities by highlighting as many as five columns. House of Doom also gives the mansion symbol a Wild function that it does not have in the base game.

House of Doom may award extra spins according to the feature’s symbol rules. House of Doom can consequently last longer than the initial allocation, but the extension count is not fixed in advance. House of Doom does not make additions inevitable after a run of non-winning bonus spins.

House of Doom Volatility

House of Doom is assigned a high 7/10 volatility level by Wildz. House of Doom’s combination of fixed-line play and randomly occurring features can produce sessions with markedly different result patterns. House of Doom stakes should be kept within a limit that allows for that variance.

House of Doom volatility does not mean that an extended losing sequence must be followed by a large return. House of Doom treats each spin according to its programmed probabilities without considering the player’s earlier balance changes. House of Doom should therefore not be chased with larger wagers.

House of Doom Maximum Win

House of Doom provides a maximum win of 2,500 times the stake. House of Doom can increase Wild coverage through a single Hellgate reel in the base game or multiple highlighted reels during Doom Spins. House of Doom uses a fixed prize model rather than a progressive jackpot.

House of Doom pays the maximum only if the necessary result occurs within its mathematical rules. House of Doom offers no method for selecting a spin that will reach the ceiling. House of Doom’s headline maximum is not a statement about the result likely in normal play.
