The wild symbol in the game is the Hot as Hades logo. The wild symbol replaces all symbols in the game except the scatter symbol. Any winning combination arising when the wild symbol replaces one or more of the symbols comes with a 2x multiplier.

The crystal skull is the scatter symbol in the game. Getting two of them in the right positions on the screen gives you winnings. Getting 3,4, or 5 scatter symbols on any position across the reels triggers the Quest for the Crystal Helm bonus game.

The Quest for the Crystal Helm bonus game is great and opens in a separate screen once you get at least 3 scatter symbols. It has film-quality graphics and also high quality cartoon style animations. The bonus game is spread across 5 levels and you have to get to the fifth level to get hold of the crystal helm.

• Level 1 is called the Pillar of Awesomeness and you need to select one of five pots that appear to collect winnings. Four of the five pots have cash prizes while the fifth has the Win All option.
• Level 2 is Medusa’s Gaze. You have to choose a path in this level. The options in this game include 3 cash prizes, 1 Win All option, and 1 block option. Choosing the block option ends your bonus round while choosing any of the others takes you to level 3.
• Level 3 is Poseidon’s Ocean. You have to select one of five shells that Poseidon puts out. There are two block options, and choosing one of them ends your bonus round. Choosing any of the others takes you to level 4.
• Level 4 is Zeus’ Stairway. Select one of the clouds that appear on screen. Choosing the right option takes you to level 5, while the wrong option ends your bonus round.
• Level 5 is the Chamber of the Crystal Skull. You need to choose one of 5 chests in the chamber, and you have an option too – you can discard your original choice to pick another one.

Apart from this there is also the Super Mode Free Spin round that gives you 5 bonus spins. This round gets activated during the base game as well as the Quest for the Crystal Helm bonus game. In the base game, one of the symbols can transform into a held wild, which remains during the course of the round.
