Afterlife: Inferno

Heaven is so much sweeter when you have to go through hell to get there. With Leander's masterpiece, Afterlife Inferno, players will journey through Dante Alighieri's iconic underworld to the Mount Purgatory and, ultimately, the path to the promised land Oh, and it's a video slot machine game, too.

The game starts in the fiery pits of hell. Epic music plays, and the symbols appear – ten, jack, queen, king and ace in a hellish font, plus beautifully rendered images of Dante's tale.

The main playing area is five reels and three rows, with a total of twenty pay lines. There are no progressive jackpots, but there are some great features. The player dashboard is along the bottom and very discreet, while the spin button is nice and big – great for when you're playing on a device with a smaller screen.

Let's go over the features for this game. First, the scatter. It's called Hell's Gate. When there are at least three scatters on the reels, you get to play Inferno, Purgatory or Paradise. Choose your destination.

• Inferno: 15 free spins, plus 3x-15x multipliers on wins
• Purgatory: also 15 free spins, plus progressive multipliers
• Paradise: only 12 spins, but with sticky wilds

Speaking of sticky wilds, there is Hell Freezes Over. A random amount of wilds will be added to the reels. And then, after a spin is a win, the reel that has a wild on it becomes an entire reel of wilds. You'll also be awarded re-spins, and the wild reel stays sticky. While normal wild wins are doubled, during Hell Freezes Over this is not the case.
