House of Doom slots: choosing between the original and The Crypt
Should a player enter Play'n Go's House of Doom series through the simpler horror slot or go directly to its harsher sequel? House of Doom is the clearer starting point: the 2018 release uses a 5x3 grid, 10 paylines and a listed medium-volatility profile, with expanding wilds and a bonus game supporting a 2,500x maximum.
Ranked by Slot Score
| Game | Year | RTP | Volatility | Slot Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 House of DoomPlay'n Go | 2018 | 94.1% | Medium volatility | 58 |
 House of Doom 2: The CryptLatestPlay'n Go | 2021 | 94.25% | High volatility | 66 |
House of Doom 2: The Crypt doubles the line count to 20 and raises the ceiling to 6,000x. It also moves firmly into high volatility, replacing the first game's more conventional feature mix with symbol swaps, expanding symbols and a wild that expands before triggering a respin. Multipliers add another source of payout variation.
The Crypt is not merely a darker presentation of the same slot. It increases both the number of evaluated lines and the pressure placed on special-symbol events, so the sequel suits a higher-risk session while the original explains the franchise's core wild-and-bonus structure with fewer moving parts.
