A Slick Heist Themed Online Slot Goes Live

There have been online slots in which high roller players can place larger bets to get access to more lucrative features. This concept is now appearing with increasing frequency. The latest video slot to include this feature is Hotline from the games supplier NetEnt. It is live at leading online casinos like InterCasino.

The title Hotline is a part of the additional bet concept and refers to the rows in the new 5x3 video slot. You can select any one row as a hotline. You will have to pay 15x the normal line bet for this. You can be more adventurous by selecting two rows at hotlines by placing 30x the line bet. Finally you can go for broke by designating all rows as hotlines with 45x the line bet. The benefits for this will be explained later in this review.

Hotline is a slick heist themed online slot. In the introductory clip you learn that Kitty Weiss conducts the heist of jewelled ornaments. Detectives Quinn and Rivera are hot on her heels. While the chase is on you can create your own hoard of the loot. The high paying symbols are these three characters. The low paying symbols are three stolen ornaments.

Kitty’s escape car is the wild symbol. If it lands on any designated hotline it will expand to fill the entire reel. After the payouts are awarded, you will get one respin with the wild reel held in place. If another wild symbol lands on a hotline in the respin then the process repeats. So the more hotlines you activate, the greater is your chance to hit expanding wilds and earn respins. The feature is available in the main game only.

Hotline online slot also includes a free spins feature. It is triggered when the sunset scatter symbol lands anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5. You will be awarded 7 free spins. During the free spins, if the wild symbol lands on a hotline, it will expand across the reel as before and will remain fixed till the end of the feature. There will not be any respin in the free spins feature. The top payout is only 200x the normal line bet. But the big payouts come through the Hotline Bonus Bet. The coin range varies from $0.01 to $1.00. You can wager up to 10. With all three hotlines activated, the total bet per spin works out to $450.
