Hölle Games — provider review
In Germany, a “Spielhölle” is a gaming hall, and “Hölle Spiel” is an exclamation meaning “great game!”. That is where the Berlin studio Hölle Games gets its name — it makes slots under the motto “Made in Germany” and focuses primarily on German players.
The studio was founded in 2020 by a team with many years of industry experience. Its catalogue now has over 50 games, and besides its own slots, the company runs the Hinterzimmer platform, through which other developers release their games too.

History
Hölle Games was founded in 2020 by former Glück Games staff led by Robert Lenzhofer. He has spent around 20 years in the industry and co-founded Glück Games, which merged with Gamevy in 2018 to form G Games. The founding team also includes Rafael Razim (platform), David Dunnings (game development), Rowan Jenkins (product) and Alexandru Goran (UI/UX and art direction).
In six years, the studio that started with slots for the German market has expanded into the Netherlands, Sweden, Romania and Brazil. This is our observation, not a statement by the company.

Hölle Games slots
The studio’s catalogue is split into two lines: classics familiar to German players and premium slots with more complex bonuses.
| Line | What it is | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | Traditional slots in a format familiar to German players | Fruits, Bells XL, Höllische Sieben |
| Premium | Games with original design and more complex bonuses | Holla die Waldfee, Holla die Waldfee Hold & Win |
A good example of the premium line is Holla die Waldfee Hold & Win, about a forest fairy. Five coin symbols trigger the Hold & Win bonus with four jackpots — Mini, Major, Mega and Ultra — and during free spins, wilds expand to cover the whole reel. You can try to multiply your win in the gamble games: the “ladder” or guessing the card.
💡 How Bonus Spin works
The studio created this signature mechanic in response to Germany’s 5.3% tax on online slot stakes. A paid spin can trigger an extra free spin at the same stake, so players get more spins. However, the mathematical RTP of such games is lower than usual: in the company’s example it is 88%, while 94% is the “experienced” RTP (xRTP) that factors in the extra spins, not the actual return.
The catalogue also features respins, multipliers and Book games, as well as the Reel and Hellish Seven series. Many games are released under two names — German and English: for example, Höllische Sieben is known as Hellish Seven, and Im Namen der Krone as By Royal Decree.
In 2026, the studio released a new game almost every month, including Crocodile God, Himmel & Hölle, North Sea Bonanza, Reel Wolf 3 Moons and Book of Ithaca. Check the RTP and maximum win in the rules of each game.
