NetEnt Hotline: Review & Theme

This retro gaming experience is set against the backdrop of a golden sunset over Miami Beach, with two sharply dressed detectives in hot pursuit of Kitty Weiss, a beautiful and mysterious jewelry thief who knows how to handle a gun... and a sports car!

Without a doubt, Hotline was inspired by Miami Vice, a popular American television series that ran for five seasons from 1984 to 1989. There are striking visual and stylistic similarities between the original crime-fighting duo Crockett and Tubbs and Hotline's heroes Quinn and Rivera. NetEnt's design team has created a nostalgic and entertaining throwback to the 1980s, complete with flashy cars, neon lights, brick-shaped mobile phones, Italian suits, and a fantastic New Wave soundtrack.

Symbols on the reels include rings, necklaces, and crowns, as well as three characters typical of the 1980s: a suave gangster with sunglasses, a permed police officer with a gun, and a classy lady with an old-fashioned mobile phone. The female character is the most lucrative symbol, awarding 22.22 times your bet for five on a payline.



About Hotline

The Hotline slot machine is a three-by-five machine with 30 win lines and symbols reminiscent of Miami Vice and Lethal Weapon. The game has an RTP of 96.13%, which can increase to 97.04% when all three Hotlines are activated, and is loaded with features such as expanding wilds, re-spins, and a bonus bet feature known as the Hotline Bonus Bet.

Fans will be pleased to learn that the Hotline slot game is compatible not only with desktop computers but also with mobile devices.

The three principal characters, Kitty, Rivera, and Quinn, represent the upscale symbols. The inferior symbols are the priceless jewelry pieces, namely the Ruby Crown, Emerald Necklace, and Sapphire Ring (presumably stolen by Kitty). Maximum payouts for five matching symbols on a winning payline are as follows:
·   Kitty - 200x Coin Value
·   Rivera - 120x Coin Value
·   Quinn - 80x Coin Value
·   Ruby Crown - 30x Value in Coins
·   Emerald Necklace Worth 25 Coins
·   20x Coin Value Sapphire Ring

Three Sunset Scatter Symbols appearing anywhere on reels 1, 3, and 5 will trigger seven free spins, and all active paylines will carry over to this feature.


Pay Table and Bet Sizes

The betting mechanism permits players to select between 1 and 10 bet levels, with coin values ranging from 0.01 to 1. With a minimum bet of $0.15 (with one active Hotline) and a maximum bet of $150, this offers players a wide range of betting options (with three active Hotlines).

The maximum win potential is 60,000 coins, or 2,000 coins on a single line (30 lines) when playing with the maximum wager of 450 coins per spin. Remember that the Bonus Bet Feature affects the game's RTP and volatility. Multiple Hotlines activated increase the total wager. The higher the Bonus Bet, the greater the game's RTP, and volatility.

NetEnt Hotline: Game Features

Hotline Bonus Bet

The most notable feature of Hotline is the Hotline Bonus Bet, a unique multi-level betting feature. This unique row has the potential to trigger Expanding Wilds and Re-spins. It's immediately apparent upon starting the game that the middle row is the primary Hotline.

If a Wild Symbol appears on a Hotline, it expands to cover the entire reel. Once the outcome of the Expanded Wild has been determined (win or loss), you are granted a respin with the Expanded Wild held in place.

Respin


When you land an expanding wild, the Re-Spins feature is triggered and you receive a free re-spin with expanding wilds (s). If additional wilds appear on the active Hotline, additional respin rounds will be awarded. The expanded wild(s) remain sticky until the conclusion of all re-spins.

Free Spins

As previously stated, 3 Sunset Scatter Symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game will trigger 7 Free Spins. As the scene transitions from day to night, we observe that the active / selected Hotlines carry over to the Free Spins Bonus. If a Wild Symbol lands on an active Hotline, it expands to cover the entire reel and becomes immobile until the conclusion of the Free Spins Bonus. If you are fortunate enough to obtain Expanded Wilds early in the Free Spins Bonus, you may be in for some RED-HOT cash payouts.


NetEnt Hotline: Summary



The Hotline slot is a game with a medium to high variance where you can choose the size of your wager to determine the number of expanded and sticky wilds you play with. It is up to you how many hotlines you activate, but know that the more you activate, the greater your chances of receiving larger payouts.

The soundtrack and overall theme are enjoyable, with a nostalgic throwback for a certain age group. Hotline is a good slot machine from NetEnt, and it's quite unique, which always makes games stand out. Why not try out our demo to determine if you like it?
