NetEnt studios have announced that they will be releasing the brand new Hell’s Kitchen slot coming in March, and if you are a fan of any of the 19 seasons, you’ll be excited.
Why? Because we love branded slots. Anytime any of the big slot game studios say they got a big name under their belts can only mean one thing: they are going to try and impress.
Think of what NetEnt did with the Jumanji slot or the Street Fighter 2 review? It’s worth taking a moment to look at what we can expect from this brand new slot machines of 2021 and whether you should be as excited as we are.
Coming March 2021: Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen Slot
The end of March may seem far away as we write this, but with so little to look forward to so far this year, it’s fun to dream of what spring might bring.
But rather than flowers and sunshine, we will be heading into the hot and busy kitchen of Gordon Ramsay as he delights us with Beef Wellingtons, burgers, cocktails and sticky toffee puddings.
And that’s about it for the menu as the high paying symbols, with only four other symbols making up the rest n the form of A, K, Q, and J. We’d be annoyed by the lack of food choice, but having only 8 symbols on the reels is no bad theme.
A quick look at the stats:
- 5 reel 3 row 20 payline slot
- Min/Max Bet: 0.20 / 400
- The Hell’s Kitchen logo is the wild symbol
- Gordon Ramsay is the scatter and 3 or 4 scatters will trigger either 10 or 15 Team Challenge free spins
- In the free spins you’ll choose one of the team and one of 3 order up feature are randomly activated.
- Order Up features include 2x, 3x or Random wilds added to the reels
- If your team gets the biggest wins, you then bet a bonus team challenge free spins. Here you’ll pick from menus to win random prizes of 2 to 5 times your bet.
- In the base game, Gordon may randomly throw knives, plates or pans at the screen and add additional wild symbols.
All in all, a fairly standard game for a big brand. Nothing pop-outs to make us swoon or swear at our screen. The Fruit Shop Megaways slot seems to have more features.
Will the Hell’s Kitchen slot find its audience?
If we seem to be yucking your yum, don’t misunderstand. We are as excited as anyone to see the big TV show from our small screen at home find it’s way to the even smaller screen of our best mobile casinos online.
We have no doubt that there will be many interested punters like us who will be willing to open up this Hell’s Kitchen slot out of curiosity, but will we stay?
Here are some of the pros and cons as we can see it.

The cons of this Hell’s Kitchen NetEnt slot:
For one the slot theme feels a little lazy. Sure, you have Gordon Ramsay as the scatter, but other than a couple of food items and some red and blue lights, this doesn’t really shout ‘cooking competition.’ when you start spinning.
Where are the insults? The screams? The sweating competitors vying to be the best and breaking down in tears? In shorts, where’s the drama?
Add that NetEnt games have so far not released what the top win of this game will be, and we will stay on the side of caution and say this may not hit all our buttons.
The pros that could save it:
If the game has some pace. If maybe we get those random 6 to 8 wilds thrown at our face in the base game often enough, that may be just enough drama to keep us going.
And then there’s those Team Challenge Free Spins which just about give us enough flavour of the show to make us excited.
The idea of having to pick a winner and getting any one of 3 different features to trigger on not one but two slots machines is exciting. And hey, you get the combined wins of both Hell’s Kitchen slots, meaning that even if your team doesn’t win, you would still technically be a winner overall.
We like any competition where the odds are rigged in our favour.
So you know that come March 25th, we’ll be sweating it out with everyone else to play and write our Hell’s Kitchen slot review. And we might even enjoy it.
