Hotline Slot

Miami Vice, is an American crime drama TV series, which starred Don Johnson as James "Sonny" Crockett and Philip Michael Thomas as Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, two Metro-Dade Police Department detectives working undercover in Miami. Unlike standard police procedurals, the show drew heavily upon 1980s New Wave culture and became noted for its integration of contemporary pop and rock music and stylish way of life.

NetEnt Software, brings up the memorabilia effect which emerges from the unforgettable TV series with the culture of an entire decade - The 80's! The developer has managed to adapt, a special mix presenting an attractive "Hotline" video slot, across 5 Reels/30 Paylines. The slot features: Hotline Bonus Bet/Expanding Wilds/Reel Respins/Synth Wave soundtrack/Stunning graphics and Animation intro.

Despite the low Paytable, the Players will enjoy the retro 80's Mania with a smooth and classic gameplay.

Now that I have got to play Hotline even more, I must leave another review to add sth to the previous one. ;)
Of course my 10 star evaluation hasn’t changed in the progress.
The game has clearly quite low volatility; so you won’t necessarily win that big; but you will certainly win OFTEN. ;)

I usually always play with all of the 3 bonus lines activated. Ofc it’s more expensive per bet; but imo, it is totally worth it. Sometimes previously, when I only played with the one active bonus line; the cars almost never landed on it. But with the 3 active bonus lines, they just keep coming. ;) So I might even claim, that you will win a lot more in the long run with just all of the bonus lines activated at the same time. I totally recommend it.

My biggest win so far has been ~ 157x bet (846 euros with a bet of 5.40 ); it happened, when during re-spins I managed to get 4 reels stacked with the car wilds; and the remaining reel was finally stacked with 3 of the highest paying symbols; ie. the ladies.
I have managed to get the stacked wild cars on 4 reels simultaneously (during the course of the re-spins) several times.
Also I have managed to get to the Bonus game several times now as well. ;) For example, last time when I got there, I scored a smooth win of ~ 58x the bet.
Unnecessary to even say; I really enjoy the bonus game, which includes 7 free spins; during them, and wild cars that land on the bonus lines (and expand), will stick there until the end of the bonus round. And if you play with all of the 3 bonus lines activated; then all of them will ofc be active in the bonus game as well.
With stacked car wilds on 3 reels, I have scored for example wins of ~ 71x and 38x my bets in the base game.

Personally, I like this kind of low volatility a lot. You really seem to win quite often; and imo, wins of several dozens of times your bet are very smooth & cool too, especially when they really seem to come SO frequently. I myself am totally cool with this and will certainly continue playing this game.

I have simply had a great time playing this game. It is just super entertaining & amusing to play, in every way & sense. I have even recommended especially this game to a couple of my friends, who aren’t even customers of any casino yet. ;)

If you prefer high(er) volatility games; then this game isn’t probably the best one for you.
Also the 3 Scatters seem to come quite rarely; but that, on the other hand, seems to be the case in most other slots in the market as well.

I’m a HUGE fan of NetEnt. When I decided to try out this one of their slots the other day, once again I wasn’t disappointed.
I deposited 1 k€, played just a few spins of under 10 euros each, and soon enough my balance was almost 2.1 k€, which is when I decided to request a cashout ofc.
I was playing with the extra bonus lines all the time, and was blessed enough to get the wild car features quite often. At the best, I had 3 wild reels simultaneously. A couple of times, if I remember right. This is when you will hit those amazing wins indeed.
I was not lucky enough to get to the Free Spins Bonus game yet, but I’m sure that is more than amazing as well. Maybe some day later I’ll hit that too. ;)
I just LOVE the retro 80’s theme, the music, design, characters, colors. Everything about this slot is just so cool.
Did you know that the tune can also be found on Spotify? ;)
I will definitely return to this game sometimes later.

Ofc I regret not having hit the Bonus game yet ;) But I know it’ll come if I just keep playing.
I understand the super retro theme may be found even annoying by some; for me, that’s not the case, since I happen to love it.

Hotline slot is one of my favorite Netent releases of last year. At first I was a bit skeptical as I wasn't really a fan of the new games they were releasing, that, along with the fact that it's a 15 payline slot. I'm used to playing 20-liners, 25-liners so having 15 lines I though- meh, can it pay? But after many many sessions with it, I can clearly say- yes it can.

The game is inspired by 1960s Miami Vice theme with beautiful cars, getaways and danger luring in every step of the way. Once again Netent has done a marvelous job with the design, as the color scheme is vibrant and the symbols look rich. The game has an interesting re-spin feature as well as 7 free spins bonus round triggered by scatter symbols on reels 1,3 and 5.

When you play Hotline slot, you'll want to see a lot of car symbols as they work as wilds and by default, when the car lands in the middle of any of the reels, it will expand and give you a respin. However, in the free spins round, they will become sticky wilds. I personally really enjoy this game and I think it has good winning potential. I really like the fact that you can also activate the bonus bet on the other two rows- meaning, for an extra price you can have the wild symbols expanding even if they're not in the middle.

I've had some ups and downs with this game as sometimes the base game can be very cold and if you're playing it with 0.45$ or higher bets, it can leave you high and dry very quickly. But on the other hand, it has helped me to meet wagering for a couple of bonuses- once I got it in a good mood and played with 0.90$ per spin and had a few 100x bet winnings that I didn't manage to capture. But one thing is sure- if you play with other reels activated as well, the bonus round gives such an adrenaline rush as it's possible to get nearly full screen of cars! I had it once and it paid well!

Overall it's a beautiful game, it can be a great help to meet wagering requirements because of the wild feature. This probably won't be the game that will pay mega wins, but I definitely think it has good winning potential.

Whatever Miami TV series or movie this Hotline game may have been based upon, my first impression when I first looked at it was its similarity with Quickspin's The Wild Chase game. Both are about robbers stealing valuables - which in the case of Hotline, is about robbing jewelleries. A very new game from NetEnt no doubt, but the graphics quality simply failed to impress me! The overall presentation of Hotline looks dated, like it came from some years ago, and the colours simply lack vibrancy too.

Looking at the values of the symbols in the paytable only made my jaw opened wide - I simply couldn't believe the incredibly and extremely low values! The highest paying symbol, the Lady, pays an unbelievable 6x total bet win for getting 5 of her, so the other symbols can only have even lower unbelievable win values! The Wild symbols don't pay anything, so getting 5 Wilds on a payline would be absolutely nothing to shout about - you get a blardy win of just 6x the total bet! Similarly, the Sunset Scatter symbols are also non-paying, but worse still, they award only 7 free spins and without any multiplier too! What the argh!

Don't ever let the possibility of getting 5 Wild Reels makes you think that this Hotline is a super game - it simply isn't! Why? Firstly, the Wilds can only substitute for the highest paying symbol, the Lady, which has a maximum win of a miserable 6x total bet! So even if you get all 5 Wild Reels, at 30 paylines, they would only pay a 180x total bet win, which is simply unheard of! Compare getting 5 Wild Reels (Harps) in Jack And The Beanstalk game, or 5 Wild Reels (Wild Desire) in Immortal Romance, for example, and you can see how ridiculous this 180x total bet win really is! Secondly, in order to get all those 5 Wild Reels, you need to activate all 3 Hotlines, at a cost of 3x the initial bet per spin! So, instead of playing with just $0.15 bet per spin for 1 Hotline, you'd be playing with $0.45 bet per spin for 3 Hotlines, which most of the time, would only go to waste by the empty spins!

But wait, that isn't all of it yet! When playing with just 1 Hotline activated, the Red Car Wild symbol would appear quite often, but not always landing in the Hotline zone. Playing with all 3 Hotlines activated, the Wild symbol would hardly appear at all, even after numerous empty spins! Honestly speaking, I found that playing with 2 or 3 Hotlines activated would only be a big waste of money! It's really pointless to chase after those 4 or 5 Wild Reels, because they cannot ever pay big!

Playing with $0.15 bets per spin, with 1 activated Hotline, can be considered as normal, but playing with $0.45 bets per spin, with 3 Hotlines activated, would really be nonsensical! You can still get better wins, get up to 5 Wild Reels (depending on the game), and all for just the minimum bet per spin. But worst of all, the paytable is simply too extremely and too ridiculously low!

Miami Vice! guess they could not afford an official licence and actor permissions. Nice Potential, love the Wild stacks and respins.

I really liked the style of this slot. I really love retro wave and 80's. Very well done the initial screen saver and musical accompaniment of the slot.

The slot itself could be made brighter. Pictures in the squares dim.
