The gunman-for-hire/ Agent 47 is a genetically engineered, A-list assassin who got his harsh assignment from the ‘Organization.’ For the hitman with the cold killer reputation, this is just the next job. Only this time, he is entrapped.
In a political cabal – a ploy to gun down the Russian prime minister, with a witness – to be eliminated, and double-crossing agents. It all pushes the anti-hero to the edge.
Sought by multiple sides, carrying the target on the back of his head, he treks across Europe. Amazing martial arts follow knife fighting, clash with joint locks, garrote wire strangulations, intense shooting, explosions, and boxing.
In the end, the ‘Hitman’ story was about the unplanned protector – basically a good man, overcoming great evil and defending the innocent.

Personal testers’ opinion about Hitman slot
Despite being an old game (13 real years = over 26 internet years), this is still a popular and enjoyable game. Solid graphics, elements from the video game, attuned to the violent atmosphere music and symbols. Triggering the bonus happens statistically after 133 spins, but only 17% of the total prize pool is put aside for payouts in the bonus rounds. These are figures on the middle level, not the worst, but also not very good.
The frequency of getting any hit (winning) is around 30% – yet another not-so-hot number. The worst of the stats for the Hitman slot is, by all means, the insufficient RTP of 95.84%. And 270 000 also doesn’t feel like very giving, especially compared to other medium-high variance games (for example, Girls with Guns – Jungle Heat slot with the same variance, and also from Microgaming offers 1.9 mln coins max winning). So, the Hitman slot machine is not the most generous machine, nor has super huge potential.
Review and recommendations by the testing team
The slot was not very generous during our testing. For example, the average winning from the Free Spins was only 22x the total bet, while the maximum obtained there was not over 40x the total bet.
Thus, despite the Wild feature regularly coming in the base game, the machine could not preserve the balance. That was also shown on our wagering meter – the index that Hitman scored was only 3.5 points (out of 10) – insufficient performance to complete the requirements.
We had some sporadic good wins during the base game, but nothing above 100x the total bets. Often the slot was just insatiable to grab what just have given.
- To be successful at this or other slot machines, we reckon that hinges on the right bet size. We think that the best results could be received for the Hitman with the bet of 22.50 (coin size 0.25 with 6 coins per line).
- While changing the bet size often and using the max bet is not recommended.
- You should pursue the activation of the 2 Bonuses or the Free Spins. However, you cannot influence their frequency of triggering. The only manipulation of the slot cycle you can do decreases the bet after a successful bonus round. So, after a large payout from the 2 Bonuses or the Free Spins, play with a minimum bet for the next 20-50 spins. Then you can think of changing it back to your optimal stake size. Another strategy is to pause your session after a big win.

Bonus Features
However, the slot comes with 4 exciting features, the Expanding Wilds, the 2 bonuses (Insignia Bonus and Contract Bonus), and lastly, the Free Spins round.
- The Expanding Wilds only can drop on reels 2, 3, and 4, creating extra combinations during the base spins or the Free Spins.
- The Insignia Bonus is a pick-and-click game – one out of 3 badges. The bonus symbols fall only on reels 1, 2, and 3, allowing you to win a maximum of 6000 coins.
- The Contract Bonus is triggered by 3 laptops dropping on reels 3, 4, and 5. The operation starts with selecting a target from the HQ and after picking the weapon to complete the mission. They both reveal value, which is going to be multiplied, showing the total payout. Here, is, in fact, embedded the prospect of getting the 270 000 coins jackpot.
- The Free Spins are triggered by 3+ Scatters (number 18), which reward with 18 (always) Free Spins, during which all the payouts have a multiplier x2 attached to them. The Free Spins cannot be re-triggered.

How to win at the Hitman slot machine? (Conclusion)
- We will begin our advice section with the basic rule: to test the game in the DEMO mode before playing with real money deposits.
- We do not recommend the Hitman slot machine to the bonus hunters. Due to the lengthy empty streaks and irregular payouts (mostly small), Hitman is not a suitable machine to cover the wagering requirements.
- When playing with real money, we recommend:
1) To be armed with a balance of at least 200x+ bets, to survive until the bonus round; or
2) To play with the optimal bet size of 22.50 (if your budget allows it) and to lower the stake (to minimum bet) immediately after a large payout.
3) To terminate your session in any of the following situations:
– When your initial capital has grown by 30%;
– When your balance shrunk by 30%. - The most pivotal decision of the gambler is not to join the game but to be astute to end it on time.
- Because the slot’s highest potential could be realized only in the Free Spins and the Contact Bonus, both of which are not often initiated (i.e. large starting balance is required), Hitman proves to be unsuitable for low-rollers. However, even the high-rollers might find the bonus rounds results not worth waiting.
