Hot Ink slot

Hot Ink slot
Five years ago, the Microgaming company released Hot Ink slot. Today it is one of the most popular products of the company. And the reason for that is not only good coefficients of the return of the slot but in many respects, its success is due to the original theme.

The slot has an unusual (for 2011 release) number of pay lines (1024 lines are involved here) and a system that makes re-spin of a separate reel for a progressive cost.

And the probability of launching free spins is equal to 1.08%. Also, the special hopes entrust on the usual spins. In it, the probability of a hit is 37.77%, and 76% of the total prize pool is reserved for the payment. However, I still managed to win the maximum prize of 42 coins. Be careful, here to lose everything on bets easily. I would leave only neutral recommendations.

Description of the slot machine

The slot machine is devoted to tattoos. Therefore, you will see on the five reels the different tattoos and other symbols that are fully relevant to the theme of the game. The animation here is rather modest, which, however, allows the thematic symbols not to be secondary and remain the main decoration of the game.

The musical accompaniment consists of heavy rock music, which quite corresponds to the chosen theme. The emulator is equipped with a useful option of re-spin, which is located under each reel. That allows you to start each reel separately, which increases the ability to compile the winning row many times. You should remember that every subsequent re-spin could cost a player more than the previous one.
