Pragmatic Play · 2025
Before you spin, check the figures, round and bonus modes of Gates of Hades, a high volatility 6x6 cluster pays slot from Pragmatic Play.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
Choose a bet and you play a 6x6 grid with an Ancient Greece and Fire theme. Wins do not come from paylines. You need at least 5 matching symbols that touch each other horizontally or vertically, because diagonal touches do not count. Winning symbols vanish, new ones fall from above, and the grid is checked again until no cluster is left.
Weigh the WILD meter first, as it sets each cluster win. Each WILD adds a random 1x to 100x multiplier to its column meter, and cluster wins are multiplied by the meter sum of their columns. Free Spins start from 3 or more Scatter symbols on the first tumble, and the WILD range then rises to 500x while the meter stays for the whole round.

Know each round type
At Vvip15 Casino we list every bonus rule before you spin, so you know what to expect.
Land 3, 4, 5 or 6+ SCATTER on the first tumble for 10, 12, 15 or 20 spins. WILD multiplier range reaches 500x. WILD METER carries across the round. Each 3, 4, 5 or 6+ SCATTER retrigger adds 5, 7, 10 or 12 spins. Win cap: 10000x bet.
Base game spinsFree spins
Land 6+ SCATTER on the first tumble to start 20 Super Free Spins. All WILD multipliers have a 10x minimum; lower values become 10x. The WILD METER persists and compounds throughout the round. Max win cap is 10000x bet.
6+ SCATTER landedSuper Free Spins
Form clusters of 5 or more symbols, linked horizontally or vertically. Winners vanish, symbols drop in, and tumbles repeat until no wins remain. Each WILD adds a random 1x to 100x multiplier to the column's WILD METER. Cluster wins multiply by the WILD METER on their columns, which resets each spin.
Bet placedCluster wins
Buying a round costs a multiple of your bet, so at A$1 the free spins cost A$100 and the super free spins cost A$500.
| Bonus buy | Charged | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Free Spins | x100 · A$100 | – |
| Buy Super Free Spins | x500 · A$500 | – |
Before you stake A$100, know that RTP is the average share paid back per A$100 over time. Single sessions can land above or below it. The version this lobby runs sits in the game rules.
| Payout level | RTP | Stock setting? |
|---|---|---|
| Version 1 | 96.52% | Available |
| Version 2 | 96.50% | No |
| Version 3 | 96.47% | No |
Five steps in all
Vvip15 Casino shows each step before your first spin so you know what each bet can do.
Pick your bet from A$0.20 up to A$240 before the first spin. Every win scales with that bet, so the examples here use A$0.20, A$0.50 and A$1.
Line up five or more matching symbols that touch sideways or up and down. Winners vanish, new symbols fall in, and the check repeats until no cluster remains.
Land a WILD and it carries a random multiplier, 1x to 100x. That value feeds the WILD METER of its column, and wins on those columns are multiplied by the meter total.
Land three to five SCATTER symbols on the first tumble, and you get 10, 12 or 15 free spins. Six or more give 20 spins and start Super Free Spins.
Set a limit before the first spin and stop when you reach it. Nobody can know in advance how a session will end, and the National Gambling Helpline is 1800 858 858.

Knowing when the free spins land is impossible: the scatter arrivals follow the reels, not a schedule you can track. Any single session swings widely, and a high RTP of 96.47 to 96.52 percent describes a long-run average across millions of spins, not the outcome of your evening. Treat every result as random.
Check which RTP version you are playing before you stake a cent. The three figures differ slightly, and the one attached to this game appears in its rules screen, not on the lobby tile. The same name can run at a different setting depending on how the site has it configured.
Reaching x10,000 is possible on paper and vanishingly rare in practice, so budget as though it stays out of reach. Most rounds end well below that ceiling, and the cap applies to the round total, meaning a huge cluster pays out at the maximum and stops there.
Learn without stakes
Useful before your first spin, when you want to see how the tumbles and wilds behave.
Pick the demo to learn the grid first. The demo needs no money and pays nothing, while the real game needs an account here and you must be 18+.
Start playingPlayers must be 18+. If gambling stops being fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a budget before you start and keep to it. Once it is spent, stop playing, even if you feel a win is due.
Decide your stop point before the first spin, and keep it after a win too. A big win can tempt you to keep going.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account to cap how much you can put in and lose. Set them before you play.
Take a break as soon as Gates of Hades loses its appeal. If play turns into a chase, self-exclude through BetStop before your next session.
Know what you wager
The most common worry is not knowing what a spin can cost or pay before you start.
Compare the three RTP versions of Gates of Hades before you decide how much to stake: 96.47%, 96.50% and 96.52%. RTP is the return over a very long run of spins, so it does not tell you what a single session will pay.
Watch for at least three SCATTER symbols on the first tumble. The more you land, the more spins you get, reaching 20 at six or more. Six or more scatters also start Super Free Spins, where every WILD multiplier has a floor of 10x.
Expect high volatility. Results swing widely: long stretches with small or no wins can come before a large one. How often the bonus comes is not known in advance, so no session can be predicted.
Check the cost before you buy. Buy Free Spins costs 100 times your bet, and Buy Super Free Spins costs 500 times for 10 spins. At the A$1 example bet, those are A$100 and A$500. A purchase starts the round at once without waiting for scatters.
Start at the minimum bet of A$0.20 to learn the rules at the smallest stake. The paytable uses A$0.20 as its bet, so the payouts shown there match the smallest stake.
Decide your bet first, because the cap is set as a multiple of it. The maximum win is 10,000 times the bet, which is A$10,000 at the A$1 example bet and A$2,400,000 at the highest bet of A$240. Free spins also cap wins at 10,000 times the bet.
