Features of Hotline 2 slot
Hotline feature
- 1, 2, or 3 reels (in the middle of the grid) – Hotlines/Hotzones are self-activating, boosting the probability to win Expanding Wilds if any single Wild lands in the zone.
- You place higher stakes by turning on the Hotline Bonus Bet feature (3x the initial bet per spin for all 3 Hotlines), but ultimately you ensure higher payouts.
Free Spins
- The Scatter symbol – neon flamingo, appearing on reels 2, 3, and 4, will launch the Free Spins.
- The only option is getting 3 Scatters, which always rewards 7 Free Spins.
During the bonus round, the grid has the possibility to get taller by the Wilds falling into the Hotzone. Each Wild will make the hot reel grow by 1 symbol in height, up to a maximum of 3/6/6/6/3. It also brings 1 or 2 extra Free Spins, depending on if the reel reached its highest point or not.
The payouts during the bonus round are variable, hanging on how high the grid is, i.e. how many pay lines can be created, with the max of 1944 win ways.
Bonus Buy feature
- Going straight to the Free Spins is possible via this Bonus Buy button.
- Regardless of playing with 1/2/3 Hotlines, you can purchase your entrance to the Bonus round without playing the base.
- There is an estimated price of entering the Bonus – determined by the current bet size and the active Hotlines.
- For example, with the bet of 1 CAD, you can buy yourself an initial 7 FS for 60 CAD with 1 Hotline, 7 FS for 120 CAD with 2 Hotlines, and 7FS for 180 CAD with 3 Hotlines.
