Charlie Chance in Hell to Pay

Charlie Chance in Hell to Pay is a retro horror slot in which Charlie Chance, armed with nothing but an umbrella, takes on She-Devil and her minions to win back a soul that fell into hell. It was released on May 21, 2020, and you can play right away with the free demo, no sign-up needed.

How did Charlie Chance end up in hell?

The setup is that Charlie started his day as usual in his top hat, but after a few silly choices he fell into the underworld, soul and all. Now he has to roll the dice, outwit the cunning She-Devil, and escape. As a Play’n GO slot with a standout classic animation style inspired by Max Fleischer, the visuals are a joy in themselves. The distinctive art makes it clearly different from other horror slots.

How many kinds of wilds are there?

There are three kinds of wilds: a regular wild and x2 and x3 multiplier wilds. All of them substitute for every symbol except the scatter, and when a multiplier wild is part of a win, it multiplies the prize. The regular symbols are drawn in a nostalgic fruit machine style, giving the game a classic feel as well. When both multiplier wilds join the same win, the difference is dramatic.

How does the She-Devil scatter appear?

The scatter is She-Devil herself, but rather than a standalone symbol, it appears as a small mini symbol attached to the corner of regular symbols. So even when you look at regular symbols, check the corners too. When 3 of these mini symbols gather, the Feature Board, the heart of the game, opens. Corner mini symbols are easy to miss behind the full-size regular symbols, so take a careful look.

What do you do on the Feature Board?

When the Feature Board opens, She-Devil calls out how many spaces Charlie moves forward, and Charlie moves along the board earning special rewards. Advancing one space at a time like a board game gives it a different kind of tension from standard free spins. Entering a few times in the demo to learn the space layout makes the flow much easier to follow. The presentation changes each time Charlie moves, which adds to the fun of watching.

What should I check first in the demo?

RTP is 94.27%, and the max win is 20,000x your bet, which is quite large. Bonus buy is not available, so the Feature Board opens only with 3 mini scatters. There is no official volatility figure, so use the demo to get a feel for how often multiplier wilds mix in and how far apart board entries are. With such a high max win cap, it’s also worth watching how the board rewards build up.
