Danger High Voltage is one more highly volatile game from Big Time Gaming (BTG), in the same category as Bonanza, playing with 6 reels but with only 4 rows, as opposed to Bonanza’s 8 rows. Whilst Bonanza offer a Megaways win feature, Danger High Voltage offers a 4096 ways to win instead, but with the same $0.20 minimum starting bet. Although there seems to be lots of players who are love-struck with BTG’s games, I’m not one of them. Don’t think I’ll ever be one either.
I have since come to terms and accept 5-reels 4-rows games, but have yet to like 6-reelers games, although it isn’t much different from its 5-reelers counterparts. What is more important to me though, is how good can the payouts be, which can be estimated simply by looking into its paytable and the win values of the symbols in play. Where Danger High Voltage is concerned, the symbols win values are not too bad, at least they are not in the extremely low category as in most other games.
The Wild symbols are non-paying, appearing either as a Wild Fire or a Wild Electricity wild reel, but only the Wild Electricity has an added advantage of a 6x multiplier. Getting 5 Scatters would pay a decent 100x the total bet, whilst the regular symbols would pay from 25x downwards. The Free Spins feature game comes in two choices – 15 free spins for the High Voltage mode, with random 11x up to 66x multipliers within a Wild Reel, and 7 free spins for the Gates Of Hell mode, with a randomly selected regular symbol transforming into a Sticky Wild symbol, a stack of which would add 4 more free spins. Only the High Voltage free spins game can be retriggered.

DISLIKED
Not only do I not like the 6 reels 4 rows format, I also do not like the overall presentation of the game. Although the graphics quality is acceptable, the background scenario is too bold and very distracting to the overlaying play area - that’s bad designing to me. Being a highly volatile game, the many dead spins and very low payouts in the base game play are only to be expected, but somehow, Danger High Voltage simply couldn’t hold my interest for long - I found myself wanting to quit playing the game as soon as possible! Nope, I didn’t and couldn’t get any decent wins from this game either, except for just that one time 108x win. I never played this game ever again.
