2020 Hit

Introducing 2020 Hit from Endorphina

Whilst Endorphina may have been rather assumptive when naming this slot, it is completely up to them what they choose. However, with the simple fruit theme and just a few basic features the name does seem rather over the top to me but read on so that you can make your own informed decision.

The developers at Endorphina have created a 5-reel slot that plays out with 4-symbols per column and a total of 100 pay lines. On reflection it seems as though the 1,000x top pay out is the best you can get but when it delivers $50,000 that is something worth playing for. The only features are the scatters and wilds, and these are quite simple, but they are what provides the biggest pay outs. In the long run the return to player is expected to be around 96% which is about right for one of the modern-day releases.

Bets and winning

In most slots from Endorphina you can choose the number of pay lines, however in 2020 Hit there is no option as the pay lines are fixed, meaning that they are all in play at all times, however, this does mean that you get all opportunities to create winning combinations.

When it comes to making your bets, you can choose the coin values which start from just $0.01 to $0.10, and you can also choose the number of coins that you want to bet per line which start from 1 – 5 which total a bet range from £1 to a maximum of $50. With this bet range 2020 Hit will appeal to several different types of player.
In order to land the best win, you need to have the wild covering every position meaning that it provides winning combinations on all your 100 pay lines. The best-case scenario in 2020 Hit Slot is to have the Wild symbol covering all positions, so that it can create full combinations on all 100 lines. By doing so you will win 10x your stake for every line and a life changing sum of $50,000 from just one spin!

The information suggests that this slot comes with an expected RTP of 96%, from this we can deduce that the casino are earning 4% of any bets with the other portion being retained by the player which is more than adequate and appears to be the norm for most slots nowadays.

Theme and Design

The design in 2020 Hit is basic, and it is the fruit symbols which include the cherries, grapes, lemons, melons, oranges and plums that fill the reels. The only other symbols you will come across is the wild which is represented by the 2020 logo and the scatter which is represented by the trophy. The symbols have been created using a dated design which don’t really give the slot a modern feel at all, however it is down to player preference as there are many players that still want to play old school type slots.

Fabulous 2020 Hit Features

When it comes to the features that are on offer, there are just two and these are rather basic and come in the form of a wild and a scatter. There are no additional bonuses, no free spins. However, this is not all bad as you can still reap great rewards.

The wild is the first symbol and is depicted by the 2020 game logo. When you land the wild near to enough matching symbols and the wild then substitutes for the symbol that there is the most of to create winning combinations. You need to ensure that you have met all the other requirements for the combinations, the wild just comes into its own when there are multiple symbols and you need just one more. You will find when playing 2020 Hit that sometimes wilds will appear in multiple places on the same pay line and when they do they create combinations of their own and paying the jackpot of 10x the stake you have bet per complete line.

Finally, there is the scatter that is depicted by the trophy symbol and can make an appearance just one on each of your reels. If you get lucky and land 3 – 5 of the trophy symbols anywhere in view on your game screen and you will be rewarded with prizes that are equal to 5x – 500x your stake.

Are you ready to take a Risk

As you will probably expect this Endorphina slot is complete with a Gamble feature that is offered once you have landed a win. In this gamble you are shown one card and there are four which are shown face down. You then choose one of the face down cards and if your card is higher than that of the dealers you win, but if it turns out to be lower you lose and are taken straight back to the base game. Choosing a card that is the same of the dealers and the round will be repeated. One good feature is that you have the option to collect your winnings after you have chosen the higher card.

Conclusion

2020 Hit is the perfect fusion of the old school fruit machine brought into this century with the modern theme and well-designed symbols. The developers have chosen to use reds and golds which is a stunning combination that will have ever player marvelling as they take a walk down the red carpet, and you would be forgiven for thinking that this is an all-time Hit when it comes to slot games.

If I am honest, there has not been much effort to turn 2020 Hit the slot into something real and it really falls within the category of a classic fruity with may pay lines and minimal features. The return to player is pretty good but for me there was very little else to make 2020 Hit that appealing.
