Released by NetEnt, the Hotline slot is the game set in the retro 80s, inspired by Miami Vice. The slot follows the adventures of detectives, Tubbs and Crockett, as they solve crimes on the reels, driving around the sunny streets of Miami.

About Hotline

The Hotline slot is another fine example of games being created and polished by Net Entertainment, more commonly referred to as NetEnt. The slot itself has a pretty standard setup of 5 reels, 3 rows and 30 paylines, however, hidden within its mechanics are a number of fun features, aimed at keeping their players entertained.

Inspired by the 80s trend of suits, fast cars, palm trees and the solving of crime, Hotline dives deep into the theme, providing its players with suitably cool graphics on the reels, entertaining clips and a fun 80s soundtrack.

Gameplay

NetEnt does a standardly excellent job of not only setting the scene for their game perfectly, with its fun animated clips and a fantastic soundtrack, but also providing its players with a very clear and well-constructed layout to use.

Immediately players are met with a clean four-layered slot. At centre stage the player is met with the main area of the game; the reels. Designed impressively with well-worked graphics which each contain a bit of extra flash, the symbols on the reels are easily identifiable and resonate well with the overall theme of the slot.

The second part of the slot, which comes on the left-hand side of the reels, ties into one of NetEnt’s added in-game features; the Hotline mechanic. Players are able to select individual rows and enable or disable the feature accordingly. 

The third part of the slot, located under the reels is where the player is able to configure the game to their liking. Players are easily able to increase their level and coin value at the click of a button, as well as select the Auto-Spin and the Max Bet feature.

The final part of the game comes in the form of the NetEnt footer, where players are able to select some game settings, change the volume settings of the slot and view their current cash, wager and winnings.

Wager

After the Hotline casino slot has been loaded up, NetEnt provides its players with their usual footer, allowing them to easily view all relevant betting information on the screen. Towards the lower of the screen, players will be able to see their total cash, wagering amount and winnings.

The Hotline video slot offers players a wager between €0.15, up to €450.00, allowing them to choose the stake through their Coin Value and Level amounts.

Symbols

The Hotline online slot comes with a host of uniquely recognisable symbols one would expect on any NetEnt slot. The game incorporates the use of specifically created character and item symbols, from most valuable to least they are Kitty, Rivera, Quinn, Ruby Crown, Emerald Necklace and Sapphire Ring.

The slot also uses a car chase wild symbol and sunset scatter symbol on the reels.
