Gates of Hades Free Spins Explained

What makes the bonus round different from base play

The scatter trigger itself is standard Pragmatic Play territory, but what happens once the bonus starts is where Gates of Hades separates itself from its base game. In regular spins, wild multipliers appear, get collected into a meter above the 6x6 grid, and apply to that tumble sequence before resetting. In free spins, that meter stops resetting. Every multiplier collected during the round stays live and keeps stacking as tumbles chain through the session, so a bonus that starts slowly can compound sharply toward the later spins.

Super Free Spins, unlocked only by landing six or more scatters on the triggering spin, changes the wild math directly rather than just adding spins. The minimum multiplier on any wild during that mode is 10x, compared with a much wider and lower-floor range in the standard bonus. That single rule shifts the entire round's ceiling upward, which is presumably why the buy price for Super Free Spins sits at five times the cost of the regular feature buy.

Retriggers keep the round alive without resetting the accumulated multiplier total, which is the mechanic doing most of the heavy lifting here. Landing three scatters mid-bonus adds five more spins on top of whatever multiplier total is already banked, meaning a retrigger late in a strong round is worth considerably more than the same retrigger early on. The documented material does not give a probability for how often scatters cluster enough to trigger from the base game, so treat this as a mechanic to understand rather than a frequency to plan a session around.

For Canadian players specifically, availability of the bonus mechanics themselves does not change by region — the free spins structure, retrigger rules, and multiplier persistence are the same wherever the title is offered. What does vary is which licensed operators carry Gates of Hades and under what RTP configuration, since Pragmatic Play ships this title with more than one theoretical return setting. That distinction matters more for the game's baseline math than for how the bonus round itself behaves once triggered.

One rule worth flagging plainly: the 10,000x win cap applies during free spins the same as anywhere else. If a round of accumulating multipliers reaches that ceiling before the spins run out, the feature ends on the spot and whatever spins remained are forfeited. Given how the multiplier-stacking design is built to reward the later spins in a round, hitting the cap early effectively cuts off the mechanic's own payoff structure.
