Hellevator Slot (Mini Review)
Hellevator from True Labs is a 5x4, 20-line horror slot built around a dark hotel setting, high volatility, and a theme that leans fully into Halloween. The visuals are atmospheric without feeling gimmicky, and the central mechanic, the Hellevator symbol, is woven neatly into both the base game and bonus play. It's a decent release with some personality, even if not every feature lands with the same impact.
The standout element is the Hellevator symbol on reel 3. When it appears, it nudges to fill the reel, building its multiplier as it moves. This triggers Haunted Respins, where winning symbols stick while low-pay icons feed the Hellevator's multiplier. The loop can run for a while on the right setup, and adding the multiplier to all wins at the end helps keep the base game from feeling flat.
Free spins come in two forms: standard spins, which are fairly bare, and Hellevator Spins, where the expanded reel stays in place for the whole feature. In the enhanced version, every spin triggers respins and the multiplier keeps climbing, giving the bonus a much stronger sense of progression and volatility. Wilds also carry 2x multipliers, which helps tie minor hits together. Feature buys and an ante bet offer shortcuts, though the premium options are expensive.
Overall, Hellevator is a solid slot for players who enjoy darker themes and features that build momentum. The regular free spins feel undercooked, but the Hellevator mechanics themselves are fun, and the game delivers enough tension and pace to stand out during the Halloween season.
