How to play Hell’s Kitchen.
A beginner-friendly walkthrough of the basic controls, 20 paylines and signature bonuses in NetEnt’s Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen slot.
Four steps to understand the game
There is no skill-based strategy that can change a slot’s random outcomes. These steps explain the interface and rules, not how to guarantee a win.
Open the paytable
Read the game’s information or “i” menu to see the symbol values, payline rules, feature conditions and the RTP applicable to that version.
Set your stake
Choose a bet using the game controls. Available minimum and maximum amounts vary by operator, currency and location.
Spin the reels
Start a spin. The game uses five reels, three rows and 20 fixed paylines; matching combinations follow the paytable.
Follow the features
Wilds can appear during normal play. Scatter combinations can trigger Team Challenge Free Spins, followed by a possible bonus game.
Understand the bonus rounds
Ramsay’s Wilds
On some base-game spins, a random wilds feature can add wild symbols to the reels. Wilds help complete compatible winning combinations according to the game’s paytable.
Team Challenge Free Spins
Landing the required scatter symbols can start a free-spins round. The display splits into red-team and blue-team areas, with special “Order Up” modifiers such as multipliers and team wilds.
Gordon’s Bonus Game
Under the game’s stated conditions after the Team Challenge, the bonus menu-pick feature may become available. Picks reveal prizes, multipliers or symbols that end the round.
Paylines and payouts
The base game has 20 fixed paylines. Wins depend on the applicable paytable and the combinations shown after each spin. Outcomes are determined by the game, not player timing.
What the numbers mean
Knowing the vocabulary makes the paytable easier to read.
- RTP
- Return to player: the theoretical percentage returned over a very large number of spins. The standard published figure is 96.07%; it is not a session forecast.
- Volatility
- A measure of how payouts are distributed. The provider describes this title as low volatility, but any session can still result in a loss.
- Wild
- A symbol that can substitute for other symbols when the game rules allow it.
- Scatter
- A symbol involved in triggering special features, depending on the game’s rules.
Before you start
Can I change the number of paylines?
No. The slot uses 20 fixed paylines. You can generally change the stake, but the paylines remain fixed.
Are demo results the same as real-money results?
Both should be understood as random game outcomes, but demo availability and configurations can differ. A demo offers no cash payout and does not predict future outcomes.
Does the 96.07% RTP mean I will win back that much?
No. RTP is a theoretical long-term figure, not a guarantee for any player, session or number of spins. Check the current in-game rules for the operator’s configuration.
