The Big Hit

Slot machines very often tell of bank robberies, businesses in which a lot of money can be accumulated. And it is clear that, when playing for real money, every gambler is aiming for some nice winnings. This is why the fascination of criminals is timeless and every time, no matter how much we can side with the law and justice, we find ourselves cheering on the thieves, hoping that they will make it away with the hard-earned loot. This is a bit of the sense of The Big Hit, the Slotmill slot machine we are about to tell you about.

The protagonists are thieves who are planning a bank robbery: through the many special features of the game you can give them an extra chance to escape aboard a powerful racing car. Of course you will become their accomplice: so you too will participate in the division of the loot! So find out how to do it: follow us in exploring the features and special functions of The Big Hit slot!

The Big Hit Slot Overview

What is being prepared is a really big hit: everything has been studied down to the smallest detail to penetrate the bank vault. Outside the front door the bright red car is waiting for the fleeing accomplices, ready to give the gas to bring them to safety. The Big Hit's graphics are somewhat reminiscent of a comic style. The animations that are activated with each feature are very pleasant, showing the excited phases of the escape just like in the frames of a comic. The Big Hit has 4 lines and 5 reels, with 40 paylines. You can consult them by pressing the button at the bottom left, which is the general menu. At the bottom of the screen are all the main buttons.

The largest is the play button, flanked by the autoplay that can be set up to 1000 spins. With the plus and minus buttons you decide how much to bet, from a minimum of 0.10 to a maximum of 30 euros. Then there are two special keys, which you can only find in the Slotmill slots. One is at the bottom right, a B which activates the Burst Mode. With this mode you advance the game very quickly, at 2 rounds per second: the reels disappear and you are only informed of the results of your plays. The other is at the top left and is the Fast Track. Fast Track allows you to buy one of The Big Hit's special features (more on that later) without having to wait for them to activate randomly.

Thugs and powerful machines: the symbols of The Big Hit

As often happens in Slotmill games, even in the Big Hit we have almost more special symbols than standard symbols. The basic paytable is indeed very spartan. There are 4 low pay symbols, the classic letters A, K, Q and J of the playing cards. Then there are 5 high pay symbols depicting the members of the gang: a well-dressed boy, the computer wizard, the bomber, the fighter and finally the red-haired girl, who is waiting in the car. All symbols pay if repeated 3 to 5 times, but only the girl with red hair, which is the highest paying symbol, pays even if repeated only 2 times.

Then there are the special symbols. The Wild is a gold bar and can itself become the protagonist of a special feature.symbols Heist and Bonus, which are used to activate other additional functions. During one of these, the Getaway Bonus, other special symbols may appear: Nitro Boost, Limit Boost and Bag of Frames. Let's find out what they are for.

Bonus and Free Spins: The Big Hit Features

The special features of The Big Hit are 3 in all and you can buy all three with the Fast track. If you want, you can also buy the mysterious option, which could provide you with one of the three features or even the fourth, which is the one concerning the Wild and which is called Crowd Control. The Crowd Control feature usually activates randomly. When that happens, where the Wild appears becomes an empty placeholder. If on the following spin another Wild lands in it, 3 to 12 Wild symbols are added to the reels. The Wild appears only on the middle reels 2, 3 and 4.

The Heist Respin feature is activated when the Heist symbol lands on reels 1 and 5. At this point you are entitled to a series of free respins that stop only when the slot logo , The Big Hit, does not land on either reel 1 or reel 5. During this feature, each Wild leaves a frame, and can have a maximum multiplier of x3. When the Big Hit symbol lands, all frames are activated and the corresponding prize is paid.

The Getaway Bonus feature is activated with 3 Bonus symbols, which appear only on the middle reels 2, 3 and 4. The feature follows the rules of the Heist Respin, but in addition a meter on the left side of the screen. It starts from x20 and the feature ends when the meter exceeds the given limit, which can also happen with the help of one of the three special symbols Nitro Boost, Limit Boost and Bag of Frames. The first makes sure that, even if the meter is filled, the game can continue until the next time. The second increases the meter limit, and the third adds 3, 6 or 9 frames to the reels.

The last special feature you can activate or appear while playing The Big Hit is the APB Bonus, which is activated with 2 Heist symbols and 3 Bonus symbols. This feature combines the previous two, but applies a multiplier to winnings that starts at x7 and has the meter starting at x70.
