London Hunter is a progressive slot with 5 reels and 25 pay-lines powered by Habanero software. This slot is something truly unusual. It combines steam punk theme with Victorian London setting and sci-fi game story that follows a Sherlock-like character on his adventures. High-paying symbols are completely theme related, and there are a couple of interesting features thrown in the mix. The reels are transparent, framed in a bunch of pipes and cogwheels, and they are set against the London city backdrop. You can spin this slot here for fun, or you can visit Habanero Casinos to play for real.
Before you go on a hunting expedition in Victorian London, you should set your betting range. When you click on "Bet Level +/-" you will set the number of coins per line you wish to bet. By clicking on "Coin +/-" you can adjust coins size which ranges from 0.01 to 20. "Autoplay" is used to set how many times you wish for reels to turn without interruption on an already chosen bet range. "Bet Max" sets the maximum bet that the slot allows, and spins the reels automatically, whereas "Play" sets the reels in motion.
T-Rex is the Wild symbol in the game and it can substitute for all the symbols in the game. T-Rex appears on reels 1 and 5, and it can expand to take up to 2x2 block size on the screen.
On each side of the reels you will notice blue tanks. When the Right Fuel tank is fill to the full capacity during the base game it will activate the Wild expansion which will get de-activated when T-Rex lands on the reels. However, Wild Expansion is always active during the Free Games feature. Each time you land a T-Rex symbol on the reels together with the Hunter, the Wild will Expand into 2x2 symbol. When Wild Expansion is active the wins are multiplied by 3.
If a Hunter symbol appears on reel 1, symbol on reel 2, and a T-Rex symbol on reel 5, you will trigger the Free Spins feature. At the start, all wins will be multiplied by 1. If the feature gets triggered when the Left Fuel Tank is at its full capacity, then the feature will start at x3 multiplier. If not, and you fill the tank during the bonus feature, then the multiplier will grow from x1 to x2. Expect both tanks to be empty at the start of the feature, and if you manage to fill them both to their full capacity, you will be awarded with additional 2 to 6 spins. This feature cannot be re-triggered.

London Hunter reminds me a little of an old movie One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing, but the game is not old as that movie, it's released in 2018 by Hanabero and it has 5 reels and 25paylines and the bet varies from 0.25$ up to 25$. Game design has a unique vibe which I never saw that some slot has been designed this way, there are nice animations every time you fill-up the empty tanks with a blue substance which you get by just playing the game regularly(spinning), Left tank gives you x3 multiplier when it fills up and the right one awards you with Wild expansion meaning any time they meet on the reels(Hunter) and (T-Rex), the Hunter will zap the T-Rex wild so that he expands to fill 2x2 positions , this was very exciting every time for me as the winnings were fair most of the times if you get some nice symbols next to the T-Rex.
Getting free spins in this game can be a little confusing if you are playing it for the first time, what you have to do is line up the Hunter on reel one, the laser and pack on reel three and the T-Rex on reel five and you'll trigger 10 free spins, sadly the free spins are not re-triggerable. The multiplier starts at 1x and but it keeps going up as you fill the left tank, it will keep adding x1 multiplier each time it happens, meanwhile, when you fill the right tank you will get +2 spins each time it happens, I triggered the bonus round 5 times and most of them paid badly except the one where I was at x8 multiplier and got a really nice win that was almost 100x.
The game has a pretty high RTP that is above the standard these days 96.63% but while playing the whole time I felt it was more like 50% for me the bad day I guess, and I finished up losing around 50$ which I wasn't surprised with how many dead spins I was getting still even after all of that I'm sure everyone will be entertained as me playing it and hopefully have better luck.
The game will keep you playing because of how fast you fill-up the left tank and get that x3 multiplier thinking that it's gonna be worth going through dead spins to get some win and most of the times it happens to be low paying symbols(Cards) that result in like 1,2x your bet, similar thing happens with right tank feature that gives you WILD expansion most of the time you will get t-rex to such a strong symbols but there is no Hunter on the reel to zap him.
