Hot Ink

The Hot ink game has a Tattoo theme, so it will appeal to fans in the Tattoo culture. It takes a while to get into, if it’s your first time. I did not understand what I was doing the first time I played, I played the game as you normally would with normal spins. I then realised with it’s respin feature, that it was a very interesting game to play.

The game has many aspects, so do read the payouts before you play by clicking on the “View Pay” button. You can play normally by clicking the spin button or you can respin any reel on its own to increase the chances of winning a good jackpot. Just keep an eye on the values at the bottom of each individual reel as the reels become more expensive as the odds get better. The Tattoo Symbol in 3, 4 or 5 is the trigger for the Tattoo Bonus feature. So you can spin normally or you can respin other reels individually if you already have a Tattoo Symbol. Respinning reels to get a feature can take a while, so be careful if you spinning a reel it could be the value of 2x, 3x or up to 20 times the initial bet. Play those reels if by all means, if you are adventurous as you can hit a big win.

When a Tattoo bonus is triggered you go on to click on 3 albums, the arm, leg and back. If all 3 tattoos match, you can trigger 10 free spins. If the symbols do not match, you get the number of coins concealed in the albums. The “Hot Ink” symbol is Wild and can substitute for any symbol except for scatters.

The Yin Yang fish symbol in 3, 4, or 5′s trigger the Free spin feature with 20 free spins. While I was playing I actually respun a reel after getting 2 fish symbols, as 3 fish symbols trigger the free spins. It was well worth it, although the respins cost me a bit, I made more money on the free spins than on the respins. In the same way you can trigger a Tattoo feature but, be careful as you can spend lots of money on the respin of a reel, so watch you cash. I also got features in the normal way by clicking spins so don’t feel like you have to respin only, to get features.

While playing, I found that in between the features I got many smaller and a little bigger wins and the 5 of a kind were not shy either. I sometimes even triggered 5 of a kind when I got a set of 4 same symbols and just needed one more. Sometimes it cost me less than a spin or much less than a fraction of the win to respin one reel. In this way my experience with Hot Ink was maximized and highly entertaining. Play this Microgaming video slot game at one of these accredited online casinos.
