Beat the Beast: Cerberus Inferno from Thunderkick

Published: tue 30 jun 2020

A Five Reel Slot With 243 Ways to Win

Thunderkick continues to extend its popular Beat the Beast series with a game that takes place in the hottest environment so far: that of Cerberus’ Inferno. Also known as the Hound of Hades, Cerberus is a three-headed dog which, according to Greek myth, prevents anyone from leaving the underworld. Having already faced the Kraken and the Sphinx in previous Beat the Beast games, we think that this could be the toughest opponent yet…

Win Up to 6,666 Times Your Bet!

Beat the Beast: Cerberus’ Inferno is a five-reel slot with three rows and nine pay lines. You’ll have 243 ways to win with every spin when you get to the Bonus Game, which is a good way of ensuring that the adrenaline levels surge, and if you manage to win the top prize you will emerge with 6,666 times your bet.

The background does a good job of portraying the inferno environment, with stone stairways providing a precarious-looking way to navigate above the flames of Hades. Animated clouds of burning sulphur rise from below, so you might want to hold your breath.

Symbols on the reels include stone slabs showing the playing card ranks of 10, J, Q, K and A, a weapon, a helmet, a vase, a golden Cerberus statue and a head-on shot of Cerberus himself. A Cerberus emblem serves as both a wild and a scatter, and a W symbol serves as a stacked wild which always covers the entire reel when it appears.

Whilst the lower-value symbols appear on grey slabs, all of the medium and higher-value symbols have a rather fiery look about them, which is exactly what you’d expect from a slot set in hell. A forebodingly atmospheric soundtrack, as well as some other-worldly sound effects, help to make things even more immersive.

Bonus Game Feature

The Bonus Game feature is triggered by getting three or more of the Cerberus emblem scatter symbols on the reels at the same time. Here you will receive ten free spins and you will have 243 ways to win with each one. Getting another three or more scatter symbols will retrigger the feature, giving you ten more free spins to enjoy.

A nice touch to listen out for in this part of the game is that the soundtrack shifts gears, with the atmospherically orchestral tone giving way to a much more aggressive heavy metal theme. We can’t think of better music to hear whilst facing Cerberus, but your mileage may vary.
