Online slots developers have tended to avoid religious themes so far. The closest one is Afterlife Inferno from Leander Games. It is based on The Divine Comedy by Dante. Many will argue that The Divine Comedy is a literary classic and not a scriptural text, but it does have some religious undertones. Dante travels through various stages of afterlife in an attempt to inform people what to expect based on their life on earth. The saint Beatrice sends the famous poet Virgil as a guide for Dante. If you are familiar with the theology then you will perhaps enjoy the slot game better. But even without this knowledge, there is plenty to look forward to in Afterlife Inferno.

The reels are set in the background of Hell complete with a raging inferno. The game logo is the wild symbol that doubles payouts when substituting in winning combinations. It also awards the highest line payouts with a combination of five symbols paying 5000 times the line bet. Dante, Beatrice and Virgil, the main characters from the classic tale, award the next highest payouts. Dis the ruler of the underworld, Geryon the farrier from the Circle of Violence to the Circle of Fraud and Skiff the boat that ferries souls across the Acheron are also used as symbols. In the free spins features an alternative set of thematic symbols are used. The low paying symbols are playing card icons.

The scatter symbol awards payouts multiplied by the total bet when three or more appear anywhere on the reels. Simultaneously the free spins feature is activated. There are three features on offer and you have to pick one of them. Each feature is named after one aspect of afterlife. The Inferno feature awards 15 free spins, with each spin having a randomly determined payout multiplier. The values range from 3x to 15x. The free spins can be retriggered. The Purgatory feature also awards 15 free spins. The payout multiplier will increase by 1x after each winning spin. The Paradise feature awards 12 free spins with sticky wilds. The wild symbol will remain on the reels for the number of free spins indicated.

The video slot has another feature called Hell Freezes Over, which may be randomly triggered after any spin. After the initial payouts are awarded the wild symbols transform into wild reels. These wild reels are fixed and the other reels spin again. This is repeated till no new wild symbols appear on the screen. Payouts are again awarded.
