The popular comic book hero from yesteryear, Hellboy debuts on a new game launched at Virgin Casino this week.
The five reel, 20 pay line Microgaming masterpiece brings players a powerful entertainment package, encompassing a familiar theme, iconic characters and lots of bonus features.
Characters in the game include Abe Sapien, Prof. Treveor Bruttenholm and Liz Sherman, as well as the de-horned devil Hellboy who takes players on a fantastic adventure across the reels.
"Hellboy is a complete package - it offers fantastic rewards and is action packed to keep players on their toes," said the Head of Products at Virgin Games, Warren Eloff.
"Our customers are sure to become big fans of this action hero slot in no time," he added.
So what can players expect from the new Hellboy video slot game?
For starters, the game has an exciting wild symbol that substitutes for most others to make winning combinations.
The scatter symbol is the stone fist which pays out well, as well as triggers the Underworld Bonus round.
This round has four levels, which has players searching for characters in the dark, dank heart of the earth and winning plenty of credits along the way.
Virgin Casino has started carrying Microgaming games thanks to the software group's new QuickFire system that is conveniently integrated into existing systems to allow operators to offer games from its portfolio, without the need for extensive back-office support.
Virgin Casino also carries games from other software groups, including WagerWorks, Cryptologic, Ash Gaming and Freemante.
Besides slots, games such as blackjack and roulette are also available.
