If you are not already one of them, you might feel tempted to get inked after you spun the reels of the Hot Ink slot machine. Luci – a gothic brunette, Angel – Marilyn Monroe look-a-like, and Mike, the third – quirky tattoo artist, invite you to their Tattoo parlour, willing to share their profits with you.
Accompanied by a blues-rock soundtrack, the Ink action takes place on a 5×4 grid with a cool 1024 ways to win and features a Re-Spin function, which allows you to spin any given reel again at will, and a variable cost, depending on the next winning chance.
Besides the paying Wilds and Scatters, the slot comes with Free Spins and a Bonus game, where you get to browse through a tattoo portfolio and get paid for it.
However, the real thrill is knowing that you can earn 122 500 coins with this ink shop. Imagine how many things (plus large tattoos) you can get for that amount of cash!

Personal testers’ opinion about Hot Ink slot
The Hot Ink slot machine is one of the first slots with 1024 win ways, which was a novelty at the time of release. The Re-Spin mechanism, which allows the player to spin any given reel once for a second ‘go,’ was also a recent innovation then. It is a very tempting opportunity for adventurous people, who like to live on the edge, but don’t be fooled: It comes with a price, which is, more often than not, too high. Even though Hot Ink had a slow start, it is still popular nowadays.
The reason might be the high RTP of 96.49% in combination with the short cycle and Low Variance, i.e. that it’s suitable for completing the bonus requirements. Besides that, the probability of triggering Free Spins is 1.08%, which is decent (statistically, the bonus round can be expected after 93 spins), and the frequency of getting any hit is 37.77%. After all, numbers are taken into consideration, we would give neutral advice for playing with real money, as it seems that the slot doesn’t agree with medium and high size bets.
