Hell’s Kitchen was first aired way back in 2005, and it absolutely took the cooking world by storm. It has now gone through 22 seasons with 334 episodes, all with the bad boy of the cooking world himself, Gordon Ramsay, at the helm. As of 2023, Ramsay earns $500,000 per episode of the show.

Well, Ramsay now has competition as the Dark Lord himself has got into the TV cooking game with Hell Chef slot from Kalamba.

Let the cooking commence

Hell Chef slot features six reels and up to 15,625 ways to win. It features four high-paying symbols and five low-paying symbols. The slot’s special symbols are a bonus symbol, a wild symbol, and a K-Cash symbol.

The Hell Chef slot HyperBet feature will increase your bet and increase your chance of triggering a round of free spins. There are two HyperBet settings. The Nitro setting will double your chance of triggering a round of free spins. The Hellfire setting will double your chance of triggering a round of free spins, and it will add an extra row to the slot for a greater win potential.

The slot features instant win K-Cash symbols. These symbols display a cash value that increases in value from the left to right reels. So, the highest value K-Cash symbols will appear in the right-most reel. In the base game, K-Cash symbols will only pay out when three or more appear on consecutive reels from the left-most reel. However, during a round of free spins, K-Cash symbols pay out when three or more appear in the special fire area. If three or more K-Cash symbols appear in the fire area during a round of free spins and at least one appears on a reel just outside the special fire area, the fire area will expand by one reel to include it.

A round of free spins in Hell Chef slit is triggered by three or more bonus blowtorch symbols. Each additional blowtorch symbol over three that you use to trigger a round of free spins will add one extra free spin.

If you’re not keen on getting your hands dirty in the kitchen, you can select to buy a round of the slot’s free spins bonus feature. The buy bonus feature has three levels. The first is just a standard round of five free spins. The second is a round of eight free spins with K-Cash symbols collected on at least four reels. The final option is 11 free spins and K-Cash symbols collected on at least reels.

Will you pay for your Hell Chef slot bill with your soul?

Hell Chef slot has medium to high volatility, giving the gameplay a nice pace with regular-ish small payouts while you chase those rare big wins. Plus, thanks to the 20,000x max multiplier, you only need to be betting at €12 a spin to play for the €240,000 max payout. The slot has an RTP of 95.8%.

Thanks to that fairly solid base, Hell Chef slot’s theme is able to shine. I’m not 100% sure what they were going for, but it seems to be a YouTube cooking show hosted by the Dark Lord himself. However, my confusion as to what they were aiming for didn’t detract from how enjoyable it was. It’s creepy and a little funny. The bonus features also back the theme up with a solid set of options in the base game and a round of free spins that give you some interesting ways to win. All in all, this one gets a solid eight of ten. Yes, I’m rating slots out of ten now.

If you’re looking for a few other interesting Kalamba slots, I recommend giving Lady Lava and Wilds from the Crypt.
