Hot Ink Slot

Hot Ink is a 5×4 no-payline video slot that is released by Microgaming and is themed around tattooing. Instead of conventional payline patterns that serve as a basis for winning combinations, the slot features 1024 ways to win. In this configuration, winning combos are formed by three or more identical images that fall on neighboring reels, beginning with the leftmost reel. Due to this design, wins occur quite often and a spin normally ends with one, two or even more combos, which makes Hot Ink a low-variance slot with frequent but fairly small wins. There are two high-paying symbols, Angel and Lucy, that award 750 coins for five of a kind, and 500 coins for any mix of them. Other regular symbols award 3 to 400 coins for a three, four or five symbol match. The wagering options allow the player to make a bet anywhere between $0.50 and $125 per spin.

The slot has a respin feature that activates after any spin, adding Respin buttons under each reel. By using this option, you can spin again one or more reels for the opportunity to achieve a winning combination. Respins come at a cost and the price of each depends on the value of a combination that can be created after the respin. Anyway, the feature can be very useful if you are just one step away from a huge win.

Bonus features

There is a wild symbol and two scatter symbols in the slot. The wild is represented by the Hot Ink logo. It substitutes for all icons, except for feature icons, and creates winning combos on its own. Hitting five of them awards the slot’s largest prize of $2500.

The first scatter depicts the zodiac sign of Pisces in the form of two fishes swimming around each other. Three or more of them give you 20 free spins, with all prizes multiplied by x2 during the feature. Besides, five Pisces signs multiply a total bet x100 times.

The second scatter is a gilded Tattoo Bonus plate that brings the same coin awards as the first scatter and unlocks a superb Tattoo bonus played in a new window. In this bonus feature, you are to pick tattoos for a girl, each awarding a random coin prize. If the three tattoos of your choice complete a themed set, you are given 10 free spins at a x2 multiplier, which comes in addition to coin prizes for the three tattoos.
