There is nothing too complicated about the gameplay in the Hotline 2 online slot game. The game has five reels and three rows and it uses a bet ways pay mechanic. This gives players up to 1,944 different ways to win, depending on the size of the reels.
At the start of the game, the game’s middle reel will be highlighted. This means it is the titular hotline and it will help provide the player with potential bonuses. If you want to activate more reels as the hotline, you can choose either reel 2, reel 4, or both active alongside the starting reel. This will double or triple your stake respectively.
Once you have chosen the number of hotlines active, you will need to choose your stake. The minimum you can wager is €0.10, and the maximum is €100. That’s a really nice betting range that will please both budget players and higher-rollers alike. Like all NetEnt slots, the game has an autospin feature that allows you to take up to 1,000 spins while you put your feet up and relax.
Many of the characters from the original Hotline slot make a return for the sequel. The stylish female character is still the game’s most valuable asset, paying out 8x your stake for combos of five, 5x for four, and 2x for three. A detective with an afro and some binoculars is next, paying 5x for five, with his partner wearing sunglasses next up with a 4x payout for the same amount. A new member of the team with a radio headset on coughs up 3x for five.
The game has been a little more creative with its lower-paying symbols. Instead of card symbols, there is jewelry. The highest paying of these is a big gem, which pays 2.5x for five. A heart and diamond then pay 1.5x and 1.2x for five respectively while a blue stone pays out 0.6x. Finally, the green emerald is the lowest paying symbol. It pays out 0.4x for five, 0.2x for four, and 0.1x for combos of three.
Like in the original Hotline game, the hotline is the key to securing the biggest wins in the game. The main Hotline 2 bonus feature is the expanding wild. This happens when you land a wild symbol on the hotline or hotlines. The wilds will then expand to cover the reel. Sadly, there is no re-spins bonus in this game like the first.
However, the Hotline 2 bonus spins are a significant improvement from the first game. The round is triggered by landing three or more scatters. This will reward seven spins. During the round, any wilds that land on reels 2-4 will expand the reel and add an extra row above it. This can go up to six spaces high. If a hotline reel reaches six, then it will reward two extra spins. If a non-hotline reel fills up, it will reward just one.
Depending on your location, you may be able to buy your way into the bonus spins round using the buy bonus feature.
The Hotline 2 RTP with just one hotline active is a fairly uninspiring 96.05%. The slot has been rated as medium volatility. During our test run for this Hotline 2 slot review, we found that the game was able to provide some good payouts, though none of them were huge. The buy bonus feature definitely came in useful and helped to provide some good returns on the whole.
