Microgaming, as some other online casino software companies, such as CryptoLogic, find that their players enjoy playing branded slot games. Microgaming has released a new branded video slot game, based on the comic book hero, Hellboy. The new video slot game, Hellboy, created by Mike Mignola, is licensed from Dark Horse Comics. Players will recognize Hellboy from comic books, the big screen, and DVDs.

Online casino players will enjoy the 5 reel, 20 payline video slot game, which has been set in the style of the comic book, and has been kept close to the original Hellboy. The slot game includes such characters as the stone-fisted, de-horned red demon, Hellboy, along with Johann Krause, Professor Trevor Brutenholm, Liz Sherman, and Abe Sapien, and many more of the comic book characters.

The Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Licensing at Dark Horse Comics, Anita Nelson, noted: "We are thrilled to be associated with Microgaming, a top quality gaming company. Hellboy has a legion of loyal fans and the new slot game faithfully recreates the Hellboy world that they know and love. Hellboy is one of our most popular brands and we know that the players will appreciate this cutting edge game."

Microgaming’s Chief Executive Officer, Roger Raatgever, said, "At Microgaming we believe in coupling appropriate branded content with high-quality, original games. We continually introduce pioneering, state of the art games to our customers and Hellboy is no exception. We’re sure that players will enjoy the rich visuals and comic book style action, combined with Microgaming’s innovative game play. We are delighted to be announcing the launch of this iconic branded game."

Players can bet at little as 0.01 and as much as 0.25, with a maximum bet of 50.00. The base game comes with a maximum possible win of 25,000.00. Free spins can also total 25,000.00, while bonuses can reach as much as 8,400.00. In Microgaming powered online casinos, players wager and win in whichever currency they are playing in.

Hellboy is the wild symbol, which is used as a substitute for other symbols, helping players to make better combinations. Hellboy’s stone fist is the scatter symbol, which triggers the second screen Underworld Bonus feature.

After completing all four levels of the Underworld Bonus feature, players arrive at the Chamber of Fire, which gives them the additional Relic of Power rewards.

The Hellboy video slot game comes with the well-loved Gamble feature, in which players need to correctly predict the color and suit of a card, which in turn will double or quadruple their winnings.
