Slot Features
The wild symbol does exist in the game, and it does the same thing that anyone would expect from a Wild symbol, and that is to substitute in a win and help form win combos that way. The wild symbol in this slot can sub in for all the symbols in the game.
Mystery Reveal
Sorceress symbols are going to appear on reel 5, and when it lands, it will convert all the symbols with a frame around and itself, into the randomly chosen paying symbol of the same kind. The Golden Sorceress will covert symbols into Wilds.
Free Spins
Getting 3 or more Book Scatters will trigger the Free Spins feature, and the number of the awarded spins will depend on the number of the triggering symbols. For 3, 4, or 5 Scatters you will win 7, 10 or 15 Free Spins, respectively, and for each Scatter that lands during the feature, you will win 1 extra spin.
Free Spins will be played on 1024 paylines which means that the playing grid will expand from regular 243 and increase to 1024. Converted symbols have their positions remain marked for the duration of the feature which allows the reels to get filled with marked positions as the round progresses.
Summary
Hex as a slot, in terms of visual aspects, really looks stunning, and the symbol design is so good looking that it borderlines creepy, and the animation just adds to the overall effect, but then again, we did not expect to see anything less in a VooDoo shop. The gameplay, although has nothing innovative, is fitted real nice and neat. It is highly volatile and comes with 96.43% RTP and x25000 the bet is set as max win cap which really is noteworthy.
It was somewhere back in 2023 when my forum friend recommended to me to try out a few of Relax Gaming games that he liked, and Hex was one of them, so I gave it a go. This is my favourite format game of 5 reels and 3 rows, but having 243 ways to win and only just 0.10 minimum starting bet. Nice! Although the win values of all the symbols are not that good, nor big enough, and without any win multipliers either, the maximum possible win is nevertheless indicated as an incredible 25,000x the bet amount! How this kind of huge win can ever be achieved is really beyond me!
A Sorceress symbol may appear on reel 5 at any time, and it serves to convert all framed symbols into one same symbol to create new wins. A Golden Sorceress would turn these framed symbols into Wilds, but without any win multipliers. Such a pity! Wild Multipliers would have given more bigger wins than without. 5 Wilds, on the other hand would pay only 20x, so that’s not that good either.
Inspite of all that, there must be at least something good in the game, right? Yes, thankfully enough there is one, but only one. Whenever a free spins feature game gets activated, the free spins play with 4 rows instead, with 1024 ways to win, so that’s a big improvement over the 243 ways, giving so many more winning chances. Getting any big win is another matter altogether though, and I haven’t got any of them from my few playing sessions on this game. Yeah, that’s probably the reason why. Must play lots more of spins to get one big win I guess.
Nonetheless, Hex is undoubtedly a very high volatility game, but promises to give a really huge win for any damn lucky player who can get it. The free spins feature game starts with only 7 free spins, up to 15 free spins, and every new appearing scatter symbol would add +1 more free spin. That’s not a lot, to say the least, and that 25,000x win really seems impossible to get!
