Review of House of Doom

Theme and Storyline

House of Doom presents a unique blend of a haunted house theme and death metal music album cover art. The game has stunning visuals with a backdrop of the Amityville churchyard filled with skulls, symbols of roses and pentacles, and a soundtrack filled with electric guitars that add to the game's atmosphere. The genre is quite distinct in a saturated market of games with mainstream geographical and historical themes. Let’s rock!

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The game has excellent graphics that are well-matched with the game's theme. The dirty guitar riffs and organ backing tracks and album cover style artwork make for eerie and gorgeous symbols on all the reels. The high-quality animation is never excessive, but it adds another level of visual variety to the game.

Gameplay

The game's gameplay is relatively simple. There is a main game with five reels and ten winlines, along with a basic bonus game of free spins and a point and click Skulls of the Abyss bonus game. There are no mini-games or gamble features, so the primary game must be enjoyable for long-term play.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

House of Doom has two Wild symbols, which can replace any symbol except the Scatter symbol. The second Wild appears in the game's bonus round. If you get two or more Wilds, you will win a prize. Two Wilds get half your bet per spin, and five Wilds get one hundred times your bet per spin. A random reel is highlighted on every spin, and if you hit a wild, it will expand to fill the reel. The Skull symbol does not have any payout; however, if you hit three of them, you will get to play the Skulls of the Abyss bonus game, where you get to choose from 15 skulls. Under each skull, there is either a cash prize, prizes of further free picks, or one of the End symbols that end the bonus game. The House of Doom symbol ends the bonus game, but it will trigger the free spin bonus. You will receive 10 free spins, and during the spins, two to five reels are selected each time for the Wild expansion. The House of Doom symbol becomes a Wild symbol during the game, just like in the base game.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The game's RTP is 96.11%, which is average. A 96% RTP is our baseline, where higher than that is good, lower is bad. However, in this case, the RTP is neutral. We liked the game's high volatility, which works well with many of our preferred betting strategies. The game has a reasonable betting range from €/£/$0.30 to €/£/$90.00 per spin on the tested site, making it an overall appealing option.

Conclusion

Overall, House of Doom is an excellent game developed by Play'n GO. The game is well-designed, visually stunning, and remarkably cool. The epic soundtrack, high volatility, and moderate RTP make it an engaging and enjoyable game. We strongly recommend playing it.
