Slotie Overview

The features of this game start with the wild bonus. Wild icons in this game substitute for other regular icons to help players score more wins. In addition, the robot will change his outfit every time you score a win with a wild involved in it. The next bonus in this game is the free spins game. This feature is triggered when players simultaneously land three or more scatter icons on the board. You are then given a choice of three free spin rounds with different conditions. However, the HODL (hold on for dear life) feature discussed later is the main bonus in this game. Indeed, all featured content will be explained in more detail later in the review.

Slotie Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game, we would say, is fairly unique, considering that the playing board you spin the reels on is part of a robot obsessed with gambling. The robot (we assume he is called Slotie) is quite an interesting character, keeping players engaged in the action by changing appearance and moving in specific ways to keep you focussed on the task at hand. Behind this robot at all times is a neon-lit expanse which looks very much like a futuristic disco or some kind of Tron-inspired waiting room. The background, as mentioned, is a constantly revolving and morphing futuristic image which is inspired by the colourful neon realities presented in sci-fi movies. However, something about its pink and blue colour scheme also gives off Miami Vice vibes, which is also reflected in the symbols on the board. The image is certainly an 80s neon paradise for this strange robot with a casino chip stuck in the corner of his mouth. The playing board for this game is a blue neon rectangle with a dark interior.

The symbols are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying icons are the 10, J, Q, K and A in playing card royals. These offer a maximum of 1.5x the stake for the top combination. On the other hand, the high-value icons are the dice, Bitcoin logo, slot machine, and piggy bank. The piggy bank pays out the most, at 3x the stake for the top combination. Finally, the special symbols are the coin scatter, free spin scatters and the wild icon. In addition to helping trigger a feature, the coin scatter is also the most lucrative icon on the board, paying you 100x the bet for five in a row.

Game Play

Slotie is played on a 5-reel, 3-row machine with 50 fixed pay lines. To win combinations, players must land three or more matching symbols on pay lines moving from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. The betting range for Slotie is 50p to £100 per spin. To adjust their bet levels, players can toggle their stakes up and down using the tool located at the bottom left-hand side of the screen.

Further information, including a short tutorial and a display of the paytable, can be found via the menu button in the right-hand corner of the screen. The spin and auto spin buttons are located in the centre of the screen. The volatility for this slot is rated in the medium range. The return to player percentage for Slotie is 96.57%, which is above average. The biggest payout that players can win on one spin is 2,000x your stake.

Slotie Features

The first feature included in this game is the wild feature, which concerns wild icons. These substitute for other regular icons on the board to help players score more wins. The next bonus feature in this game is the free spins game triggered when players land three or more free spins scatters on the board at the same time. The game will then give you the choice of three free spin rounds. These are explained below:

• 10 free games with HODL on 4 reel arrays.
• 12 free games with HODL on 3 reel arrays.
• 15 free games with HODL on 2 reel arrays.

You can also re-trigger this feature by landing additional scatters within the bonus game.

The main feature in this game, however, is the HODL feature. As you may not know, HODL stands for hold on for dear life and is about trying to hold on to your cryptocurrency as the markets change and fluctuate. Players must land prize symbols on reels one and two to activate it. The HODL feature in Slotie randomly duplicates the reels 1, 2 or 3 times. Meanwhile, all wild and scatter symbols on reels 3 to 5 are transformed into prize symbols. At the end of the bonus, the value of all consecutive prize symbols is won, beginning with the leftmost reel in each array.

Finally, this game also has a jackpot picks bonus feature. This is randomly triggered at any time during the base or bonus games. If you have triggered the HODL feature, hitting the Jackpot Pick Prize symbol can also trigger the feature. Twelve prizes appear on the screen during this feature, and you must keep picking until three matched icons reveal themselves. In this way you can win one of the following jackpots:

• Mini Jackpot: 20x the total bet.
• Minor Jackpot: 50x the total bet.
• Major Jackpot: 200x the total bet.
• Grand jackpot: 2000x the total bet.

Conclusion

With a focus on cryptocurrency and mad casino robots, this game really does feel like the future of slots. Indeed, the visual experience is certainly innovative and entertaining. From the perspective of the win potential, things are pretty great, too, with a decent RTP, a nice top payout and a volatility rating that isn’t sky-high. This game feels crisp, fun and quite lucrative overall.
