Hit Bar

Game Review

This game focuses on classic slot machines. The games aren’t supposed to be innovative, and this one certainly isn’t. That doesn’t mean that it can’t bring you a bit of fun, however. In fact, these simpler slots can be ideal for players that enjoy shorter sessions and that don’t want to study long and complex paytables. There’s nothing like that here, so don’t worry. The playing field is classic, too, offering a combination of 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines.

The visual side of things is on the simpler side, too. There are no flashy animations or cutting-edge designs. Instead, it looks and feels like one of those slot machines that you can still find at local pubs. The production values are decent and there are definitely no rough edges anywhere, but it’s a far cry from what top modern online slots offer.

The mathematical model of this game comes with a 1,000x jackpot, which is a reasonable number for this kind of game. The minimum bet is £0.10, but high rollers don’t have to stop there. In fact, they can risk as much as £500 per game round if they want to, though this option might not be available at all online casinos. Finally, the theoretical RTP is 96%, which is average and completely fine.

Game Features

The symbols of this game are basically taken straight from classic slot machines. For low-paying symbols, there are grapes, cherries, plums, lemons, and melons. For full five-of-a-kind combinations, these are worth between 2.5x and 10x your bet. Then, there are high-paying symbols that show sevens and diamonds. Diamonds are worth the most, bringing you a 50x payout for a full combo.

There are two special symbols - Wilds and Hit Bar symbols. Wilds are full of stars and they can substitute for other symbols to complete winning combos. They also have their own payout values – find 5 on a payline and you’ll get a sweet 100x payout. The Hit Bar symbols, on the other hand, matter for the Hit Bar Respin feature.

You’ll trigger the Hit Bar Respin feature as soon as you find 5 or more Hit Bar symbols on the playing field. All triggering symbols will be held in place, while the rest of the playing field will get a free respin. These respins continue for as long as you keep finding new Hit Bar symbols. Then, you’ll get a bet multiplier, with more Hit Bar symbols leading to better rewards. For 6-11 Hit Bar symbols, the wins go from 5x to 40x your bet. Then, there are four jackpots for sets of 12-15 Hit Bar symbols. These are worth 50x, 100x, 250x, and 1,000x your stake!

Review Summary

At the end of the day, this game is a fun little slot . You can’t go in expecting a full-fledged slot that could entertain you for hours on end. For a session or two, however, it’s a fun experience that can net you some nice payouts with its Hit Bar Respin feature!
