SixSixSix by Hacksaw Gaming plunges players into a dark and demonic underworld setting. The monochrome color scheme and stark imagery of winged characters Balthazar and Beelzebub flanking the reels create an eerie atmosphere. SixSixSix utilizes a standard 5-reel, 4-row layout with 14 fixed paylines. The base game symbols consist of a mix of playing card suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades) represented in a demonic style, and various items associated with the underworld theme like crossed bones, an axe, cigarettes, a drink, and a book. The highest paying symbols depict a bottle, a skull, two character symbols (presumably Balthazar and Beelzebub), and a rock hand gesture. SixSixSix features no Wild symbol.
Key Feature: Wicked Wheels
The core mechanic of SixSixSix revolves around the Wicked Wheels, triggered by landing a blue or red “6” symbol on any of the reels. Only one “6” symbol can land per reel, and blue “6” symbols only appear in the base game. When activated, the Wicked Wheel awards various prizes, including multipliers ranging from 5x to 100x or 10x to 500x (depending on the color of the Wicked Wheel), multipliers applied consecutively (x2 to x10 or x3 to x20), or the Free Spins trigger symbol. If multiple “6” symbols land and trigger their respective Wicked Wheels, the values are collected from left to right.
Free Spins and Deal with the Devil Gamble
Landing a “6” symbol on a Wicked Wheel during the base game awards Free Spins. There are three types of Free Spins with increasing levels of volatility and potential rewards:
- Speak of the Devil (1 “6” symbol): 10 free spins with an increased chance of landing both Red and Blue Wicked Wheels. Blue “6” symbols do not appear during these Free Spins.
- Let Hell Break Loose! (2 “6” symbols): 10 free spins with an increased chance of landing Red Wicked Wheels. Blue Wicked Wheels are not present in this Free Spins mode.
- What the Hell (3 “6” symbols): 10 free spins with a Red Wicked Wheel guaranteed on every spin. Blue Wicked Wheels are again absent.
SixSixSix introduces a unique gamble mechanic called “Deal with the Devil.” This gamble becomes available after triggering the Speak of the Devil or Let Hell Break Loose! Free Spins. Players can choose to gamble their Free Spins for a chance to upgrade to a higher tier Free Spins round. The Deal with the Devil presents a wheel with various options, including a specific number of Free Spins (5, 8, 12, 16, or 20) or the “6” symbol, signifying an upgrade to the next level Free Spins.
An Interesting Feature: Deal with the Devil Gamble
The “Deal with the Devil” gamble mechanic adds a layer of strategic decision-making to the SixSixSix slot. While it offers the potential to significantly increase the number of Free Spins or even upgrade to a more volatile Free Spins mode, players risk losing their initial Free Spins altogether. This feature caters to those who enjoy a high-risk, high-reward style of gameplay.
