Hotline 2 Slot - Free Play and Reviews

Hotline 2, like its predecessor, has the Miami city in the backdrop and 80s style graphics. The beloved detectives from the first slot are back to investigate a jewellery store robbery. The difference between the two slots is that the first one had respins and free spins, while this one has free spins with expanding reels.

With expanding Wilds, free spins, and the Hotline feature, you will get many big wins. This slot offers you the max win of more than 5,000x your bet. So taking a tour of Miami could be very profitable if you are lucky.

The Wilds symbols in the main game expand if they land on the Hotline and can create a win. The twist is that the Wilds can increase the height of a reel in the free spins, so it shouldn’t be hard to imagine how beneficial this can be. If you fully expand the reels in the free spins, you will enjoy 1,944 ways to win in the Hotline 2 slot machine.

Hotline 2 also looks much better, but that is expected from a newer slot. It also has the Bonus Bet feature that allows you to extend the Hotlines up to 3. If you don’t understand, keep reading because we will explain all of the bonus features in detail soon.

We hope you are excited to know all about this slot because we promise that it won’t disappoint you.

Gameplay of Hotline 2 Online Slot

You will fall in love with the vibe of this slot. The cool Miami background, classy design, and retro music will make you groove. The soundtrack gives you the feeling that you are driving into the sunset with the sea on the side. In short, the 80s graphics will invite you in and keep you engaged.

The important characters like Detective Quinn, Detective Rivieria, and Kitty Weiss appear as symbols on the reels. Shiny jewellery that was stolen is also seen as symbols in the slot. Overall, they have done an excellent job of creating symbols that fit into the storyline of this slot.

They have got exciting animations for expanding Wilds. The best part of this slot is the free spins action, where you will see the reels expand and come alive. The chase has just begun, so it will take a while to get used to it. However, we are sure that you will enjoy yourself.

Kitty Weiss is the highest-paying symbol in this video slot. She will pay you 8x your bet and 5x your bet for landing a five-of-a-kind and four-of-a-kind combination, respectively. Likewise, the Miami Vice detectives will pay you either 5x or 4x your bet for landing a five-of-a-kind combination.

There is one more high-paying symbol, and that is the helicopter pilot. The helicopter pilot will pay you 3x your bet for landing a five-of-a-kind combination. The low-paying symbols are the jewellery symbols that will pay you in the range of 0.4x to 2.5x your bet for landing a five-of-a-kind combination.

The payouts for this slot are lower than the Hotline slot. However, this one has a much higher winning potential. So you shouldn’t think that this slot is not worth it because the payouts are lower.

Most of the earning potential is in the free spins that feature expanding reels. If you are able to extend the reels fully, you will get access to the maximum 1944 bet ways and start seeing those huge wins.

You have to remember that this slot has many ways to win, so you will be landing multiple combinations on several spins.

Enjoy a classic theme and addictive music

Let us start with the basics. The most basic function in any slot is setting the bet amount. You can click on the coins symbol on the right side of the bet amount to set your bet.

You will see various presets, and you can pick the one that you are the most comfortable with. The bet amount is in the range of €0.10 to €50. This is a decent range and should accommodate all types of players.

The autoplay feature can be activated by using the autoplay button on the left side of the spin button. You can do as many as 1,000 spins on autopilot. There are advanced options in autoplay like setting the loss limit and stopping autoplay when the free spins are won.

You can also speed up the spins by using the button on the left of the spin button. Finally, the game settings can be accessed from the extreme left bottom corner. The game settings are pretty basic like enabling or disabling tutorials and intro screen.

Super Mega Wins will occur if you keep going

We can’t deny the fact that this slot and its predecessor have a lot of similar features. However, they are different in terms of potential and a few features. Let us start with the Hotline feature. In the first version, the Hotline zone was horizontal. The Hotline zone is vertical in this slot, and the third reel is the Hotline zone by default.

This rule only applies to the base slot because landing wild symbols in the Hotline zone during the free spins will instantly expand them to cover the entire reel.

You can extend the Hotline zone by increasing your bet amount. You can double your bet and convert the fourth reel into the Hotline zone. You can triple your bet and convert the second reel into the Hotline zone as well. So you can have three reels in the Hotline zone by betting three times more.

Free spins are awarded for landing 3 Flamingo Scatters on the reels. The number of Hotlines in the free spins depends on your bet. For example, if you have made a triple bet, 3 Hotlines will be active. So we recommend that you go for the triple bet if you want to get the most out of the free spins.

You will get 7 free spins in the beginning. Landing Wild symbols on the reels 2, 3, or 4 will increase their height by 1 symbol and extend the bet ways. If you can extend a reel height to the maximum of 6 symbols, you will be awarded extra free spins. You will get 2 extra free spins for extending a Hotline fully and 1 free spin for fully extending a non-Hotline reel.

You can also activate the free spins using the Buy Feature, but it is not available in all casinos. You can buy bonus free spins with 1, 2, or 3 Hotlines.

Win Free Spins by Landing 3 Scatters

The RTP of this slot is 96.21%, which is almost the same as the average RTP. The original version had an RTP of 96.23%, which would not make much difference. 96.21% is pretty standard RTP, so we aren’t going to praise this slot here, but it is good enough to not count as a disadvantage.

The variance is medium, so you will see a balance between the number of wins and the size of the payouts. A medium variance will suit those who like balanced gameplay.

The max win of this slot is more than 5,000x your bet, so you will see big payouts if you keep playing.

Hotline 2 online slot from NetEnt is definitely worth your time. The first version was wildly popular back in 2018, but Hotline 2 is the future. This one has the higher win potential that will keep bringing you back for more.

We scored a win of €985 from a bet of just €3 in the free spins during our gameplay. So the winning potential is certainly really high in this slot. We also noticed that the free spins hit frequently, so you have good chances of landing free spins and winning big.

Note that we used triple bet to make sure that the maximum number of Hotlines are active. We strongly recommend that you do the same. One more tip we have for you is to avoid using the free spin buy option because it rarely works out in your favour. Instead, please trigger free spins by spinning the reels.

You can get a maximum of 6 extra free spins by expanding the reels fully. So you can have 13 free spins in total. Trust us, just one good spin with the reels fully expanded will pay you big time.

Since this is a medium variance slot, you will see wins often. Even the base slot with the expanding Wilds will reward you well from time to time. So don’t overthink, and start playing Hotline 2 slot.
