Hotline is a NetEnt video slot on 5 reels, 3 rows and 30 fixed paylines, built around a choice you make before spinning: how many rows to turn into Hotlines. A wild landing on an active Hotline expands over its reel and earns a re-spin, and scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 bring 7 free spins.
Game mechanics
The grid is 5 reels by 3 rows, with all 30 paylines fixed.
Through the Hotline Bonus Bet you activate one, two or three Hotlines, which are rows of the grid; the more that are active, the more rows on which a wild can expand.
Any wild that lands on an active Hotline grows to fill its whole reel and triggers a re-spin.
Three scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 award 7 free spins.
Features
- Hotline Bonus Bet. Pick one, two or three active Hotlines. Each extra one adds a row that can set off the expanding wild and re-spin, and also raises the cost of every spin.
- Expanding Wilds. On an active Hotline a wild stretches over the reel it landed on, filling every position with wild.
- Re-spins. Every expanded wild on an active Hotline gives a re-spin, holding the wild in place while the rest of the reels spin again.
- Free Spins. Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 at once award 7 free spins, played with whatever Hotline setup you had chosen.
How to play the free demo
- In the Hotline demo, set your stake and then decide on one, two or three Hotlines; the Bonus Bet adds to the cost of each spin but keeps more rows live.
- Note which rows are marked as Hotlines, since a wild only expands when it lands on one of them.
- When a wild does expand, follow the re-spin while it stays fixed on its reel.
- Watch the first, third and fifth reels for scatters: one on each starts the 7 free spins.
Why try the Hotline demo
Because the Hotline setting changes the game before a spin, the demo is a chance to try one, two and three active Hotlines in turn. The free spins are worth reaching too, since they play out with whatever Hotline setup triggered them.
