How House of Doom 2 : The Crypt works

More metal, more gothic and even more volatility? House of Doom 2: The Crypt takes up the challenge and tries to outdo its first version! This slot machine is developed by the online gaming provider Play'n GO and is available at most online casinos since March 11, 2021.

There is a classic reel operation with 5 reels of 3 rows and 20 paylines. The reels are triggered to reveal various symbols. House of Doom 2: The Crypt has a payout rate of only 94.25% and can be described as a high volatility machine with a payout of up to 6,000 times the original bet. The base game takes place in one of 3 different areas, related to the 3 Wilds present. A Spirit Gate can be triggered and surround one of the reels. If a Wild appears on that reel, it expands to occupy the entire reel and its functionality is triggered by a respin. Each wild has its own unique feature:

• Queen of the Damned: All reels have a Spirit Gate around them.

• Metal Priestess: Turns all premium symbols into a Skull (the rarest symbol).

• Fire Mistress: Activates a x2, x3, x5 or x10 multiplier.

• Spirit of Unity: Activates all features of the other 3 Wilds, only available during Crypt Spins.

How the House of Doom 2 : The Crypt bonus works

Getting 3 Scatter symbols on a single pay spin triggers the free spins bonus. House of Doom 2: The Crypt then makes sense: during each of the 8 free spins, one or more Spirit Gates are activated. The area that is active at the time of the bonus defines the wild used for the free spins. Crypt Spins are triggered by getting 3 upgraded Scatter symbols (when a Scatter lands in a Spirit Gate, it ignites) during the base game or free spins bonus. During the 8 Crypt Spins, we finally discover the Spirit of Unity Wild: if it lands in a Spirit Gate, it expands and triggers a respin with all the special features of the other Wilds simultaneously. There is no maximum number of Crypt Spins that can be reached.

Our opinion on House of Doom 2 : The Crypt

Play'n GO offers a sequel to House of Doom, this slot machine not being a great success, it was necessary to improve some points to achieve this result. We find the band of Doom Metal, Candlemass to the creation of the 3 soundtracks used in the different areas of the game. The graphics are good and the universe, although not very welcoming, is very well done. The diversification of the features in the base game and the addition of the improved bonus allow a real game experience, different from the first opus. But it's the increased maximum potential of House of Doom 2: The Crypt that is likely to attract new players. If the dark theme appeals to you and you're not alone at home in the dark, come and try your luck in the crypt!
