Paylines: 30

Reels: 5

RTP: 96.13%

Ferraris, flamingos and synthesizer music should be more than enough to give away what the theme of this five-reel, 30-payline online slot from games developer Net Entertainment called Hotline is. This game unmistakably channels the spirit of the 80s and the hit TV series Miami Vice! As a matter of fact, it even has its own Crockett and Tubbs lookalikes named Quinn and Rivera!

Before you head out in the streets with these two detectives, you need to set your bets. Coin denominations range from 0.01 to 1 and can be set by clicking on the "Coin Value" section. With "Level" you can set the number of coins per line. By tapping on "Max Bet," you will set the maximum bet available. "Spin" will set the reels in motion, whereas "Autoplay" will turn the reels automatically for a pre-selected number of times without any pause.

The 80s may have been a decade filled with flashy sports cars, shoulder pads, and perms, but it's firmly en vogue amongst Millennials. This nostalgia-filled slot is in tune with the zeitgeist, introducing players to retro eighties mania with a classy vibe.

The sultry Miami Beach setting features the developer's usual stunning graphics and animation intro. Its theme and styling harken back to video games like Grand Theft Auto and obviously, Miami Vice. Heck, there's even a flashy Italian sports car on the reels!

The colors in this slot are muted, but the logo is unabashedly neon-lit and the soundtrack is a plain masterpiece. Tuning in with the synth wave trend, the cheesy sax and rock guitar, blend brilliantly with a police radio scanner for the essential cop chase vibe.

Fans of that 80s vibe will feel right at home with Hotline. Spinning the reels and tripping the high-speed car chase is a rousing buzz that offers high rewards. Dazzling 3D graphics and the modern synthwave soundtrack makes this game smooth, sassy and well worth a shot.

FEATURE SYMBOLS

There are six standard symbols in Hotline and they all exude that 80s vibe. They include the female baddie, Rivera, Quinn and three pieces of expensive jewelry.

The red Ferrari is wild and it will take the place of all others to help land winning matches except for the sunset scatter symbol. It is also part of one of the features which I will talk more about below.

BONUS ROUNDS

The Hotline

Apart from being the name of the game, Hotline is also one of the features and this particular line is signified by a yellow light to the left of the reels. The default is one line lit but paying extra (2x or 3x the stake) will allow two or three lines to be selected.

These are worthwhile because if a wild symbol lands on a selected Hotline, it will expand to fill all positions on its reel; it will also award a free re-spin with that wild reel held in place.

Free Spins

This is initiated by landing three of the sunset scatter symbols anywhere on reels one, three and five. You’ll get seven free spins and during this feature and the time the Hotline wilds activate, they will stay in place for the remainder of the round. It’s not possible to trigger any more spins from within this feature.
