Hit It Hard

Review

This is another addition to a series of exciting classic slots, and this time you’re in for some fast-paced action. Above the reels is a board game with different spaces you can land on, and this is where you can win up to 2,500 times your stake on this slot.

The game looks like a physical fruit machine, and it’s full of blinking lights and fruity symbols. It all plays out on 3 reels, 3 rows and 5 ways to win, and you can place bets between 20p and £100 per spin across all platforms and devices. The base game comes with multiplier wilds up to 5x, but only on the third reel.

The multiplier wilds might be enough to keep the base game interesting, but what you really want is to trigger the bonus board game. You will stay in the board game as long as you keep winning, and there are 7 different bonus features to benefit from, including a very fun pachinko style game.

What symbols are there?

This is very much a classic slot, and you need to land 3 matching symbols on a payline to form a winning combo. The higher value symbols are made up for triple 7s, and the lower value symbols are different kinds of fruit. Here we present you with the paytable for the slot:

• Triple red 7s - Pays 50x for 3 on a payline
• Triple blue 7s - Pays 25x for 3 on a payline
• Triple green 7s - Pays 10x for 3 on a payline
• Watermelon - Pays 1.5x for 3 on a payline
• Lemon - Pays 1x for 3 on a payline
• Cherries - Pays 0.5x for 3 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

The wild symbol can only land on reels 2 and 3 here, and it will step in for any regular symbol in such a way as to maximize your winnings. The third reel is a bit special, cause here you can also land wild symbols with multiplier values of either 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x.

If you land a multiplier wild on reel 3, and don’t win, this will trigger the game’s Wild Respin bonus feature. The wild symbol will then become sticky, and the rest of the symbols will respin to give you another chance to land a winner.

Free spins

The big attraction on this slot is the Bonus Board Free Spins Game, and you need to land the dice bonus symbol on the middle position of the third reel to trigger it. Before the bonus game starts, however, the dice symbol will turn into a 10x multiplier wild, and hopefully give you a nice initial win.

The bonus board game is what you see above the reels, and you start out on the “Start” arrow. A die will be rolled, and this determines how many steps you move, and also how many free spins you get on the regular reels. You will always roll a number between 1 and 6.

Each spin on the regular reels can land multiplier wilds from 2x to 20x, and if you combine this with the sticky 10x multiplier wild in the middle, you can benefit from a 200x multiplier combined here. The board game has different spaces you can land, and each space gives you different benefits and features.

You can also get extra moves on the board, as well as features on the regular reels, and the die will keep rolling as long as you keep winning. Here is a complete list of the benefits you can look forward to on the bonus board game:

• Lucky Ballz – gives you 4 shots at a digital pachinko game where you win guaranteed multiplier prizes.
• Super Ballz – you get unlimited shots at a digital pachinko game until you win the same amount twice.
• Break the Bank – if you collect 2 keys and land on the vault space, you can win up to 2,500x your stake.
• Stacked Wilds – you get 3 free spins, first with stacked wilds on reel 2, then 3 and then on both reel 2 and 3 at the same time.
• Win Spins – gives you 10 free spins with guaranteed multiplier wilds on reel 3.
• Quantum Leap – allows you to move a lot more than 5 spaces around the board at once.
• Power Run – gives you every bonus feature you pass on the board for 6 steps.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

There is no progressive jackpot to be won on this slot, but you can still take down some decent payouts from this game. The max win is 2,500 times your stake, which is decent for a medium to high volatility slot. Play with the highest possible stake, and you can pocket up to £250,000 on a single spin here.

Verdict

This stands out from the rest by offering a very feature rich dice bonus board game, as well as plenty of multipliers. Triggering the board game is actually not that hard, and you can expect a lot of different features when it happens. The potential is decent, and any fan of retro slots will probably love what has come up with here.
