Belfry Bliss Slot Review

Hell as a holiday resort, basically. Belfry Bliss drops a pub-fruit symbol set into a burning underworld and builds everything around a grinning red imp called Dante, who shows up only on reels 1 and 5, plus gold bells stamped with cash values that land only on the middle three. Bring the two together and the bells pay. That single interaction carries the game.

The stepped 3-4-4-4-3 grid gives 576 ways, and the bells hide more than small change: alongside values running 1x to 15x, some carry a jackpot tag, the biggest worth 1666x total bet. Free spins grow the three middle reels and push the ways count to 1,944.

Evoplay put it out in May 2024, and a Hold and Win version followed later with a different feature set. The two get mixed up constantly.

The reels sit on a round stone platform buried in gold coins, rubies and purple gems, with small fire bowls burning around the rim and two cracked sandstone pillars framing the lot. Behind them a dark castle silhouette fades into orange haze. It reads less like damnation and more like a warm evening in a quarry, which fits the cheerful title, though anyone expecting a proper devil den will find it tame.

The symbols are pure fruit machine: a flaming red 7, white BAR blocks, cherries, a blue horseshoe, then colour-coded card royals. Dante is a chubby horned imp with a smug grin, ringed in fire, and he looks more like a mascot than a threat. The bells are gold with little horns and a pentagram on the crown, values stamped straight onto the metal, and the three jackpot plaques climb the left pillar like a scoreboard. Clean, bright, well drawn. Also completely disconnected between its two halves, since bars and cherries have nothing to do with the underworld.

The pace is gentle. Something lands on roughly three spins in ten, usually a one-way or two-way hit worth less than the stake, and the balance drifts down slowly instead of falling off a cliff. Long sessions on small stakes are what this thing is built for.

Tension sits in one very specific moment: bells stopping on the middle reels while reels 1 and 5 are still turning. Nothing else on the board matters at that point. When Dante misses, and he misses plenty, the whole board turns into a near miss. Cheap trick, works anyway.

Free spins change the rhythm more than the ways count suggests. Taller middle reels mean bells arrive two and three at a time, so wins come in clumps rather than a trickle, and the pauses between them shorten. The base game runs on patience. The bonus is where the game actually happens, and for my money you will reach for the buy button earlier than you planned to.

A simple idea, executed cleanly. The bell-and-devil pairing is readable inside a minute, the free spins expansion is a change you can see rather than a line in a stats box, and Devil's Luck keeps the base game from going properly cold. What holds it back is how little happens away from Hells Bells: five of the best paying symbol returns 15x, so the regular symbols are mostly decoration between bell events, and the 8,330x ceiling needs an Ultra bell with Dante on both ends, which is a long way from anything a normal session produces.

The fruit machine icons still sit oddly against the underworld art, as if two projects were merged halfway through. But it plays well, costs little to sit with at 0.10 a spin, and the jackpot ladder gives the low end something to aim at beyond a 2x cherry line.
