Our Experience of Playing Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen Slot
When we considered how much money NetEnt invested in the development of this slot machine, we were skeptical that it would have a reasonable payout. In order to put this theory to the test, we began by making a deposit of 200 Euros, setting our stake to 1 Euro, and playing our first 100 Spins. During this attempt, we were successful in triggering Ramsay's Wild feature twice, which resulted in a total payout of about 55 Euros and a loss of just 15 Euros over the course of the first 100 spins. The first impression was not too bad, so we decided to continue with the next 100. After 200 spins and using up 28 Euros of our bankroll, we were still unable to trigger the free spins feature. One of the things that helped us to maintain our bankroll at least a little, was Ramsay's Wild feature. Another 100 spins made our balance drop to 146.10 Euros. Another unsuccessful attempt brought us down to 89.25 Euros. We kicked off our last hundred spins with the expectation of triggering the Free Spins bonus round at least once during our session. This time around, the attempt was unsuccessful again. Because there was nothing else we could do, the only option we had was to risk the last 54 euros we had in the game with the aim of triggering the much-desired free spins round. This was the only occasion up to this point in which we earned some money, 41 Euros. Another unsuccessful endeavor, leaving us with a total of just 60 Euros in the bank. Just as our funds were about to run out, we were awarded Free Spins; we opted for the red team, won the cookery competition with 39 Euros, and then earned another 90 Euros in the bonus game, for a grand total of 129 Euros. After playing for around two hours, we ended up losing 68 euros and any interest we had to play this game ever again. If it was not that difficult to trigger the free spins, we would probably give this slot another chance. Overall, it's not really worth your time or money to play this game since it doesn't provide a lot of entertainment value and it does not pay well enough.
