Hitman

Boasting a pair of bonus games, including one of the most entertaining in the industry, Microgaming’s Hitman has successfully made the jump from the video game and Hollywood blockbuster into top slot offering. In particular, players will love the Contract Bonus Game.

How to play

Hitman is a 5-reel, 15-payline video slot that has plenty to offer beyond its action-packed theme. Players can wager up to 20 coins per line, meaning the max bet is 75 coins. The game is loaded with multipliers and special symbols and features a unique set of symbols. Rather than using the standard 10, J, Q, K and A, Hitman comprises of various weapons that can be connected on paylines to form winning combinations.

Additionally, the game features a number of special symbols players will want to look out for:

• Wild symbol – Represented by the Hitman himself holding a pair of guns, this wild symbol can be used in place of any other symbol except the bonus and scatter pieces. On reels 2, 3 and 4, the symbol will expand to cover the entire reel and help create winning combinations throughout the screen.
• Scatter symbol – The scatter symbol is a red circle with the No. 18 inscribed in the middle, signifying the 18 free spins players get if they land three or more scatters anywhere on the board.
• Bonus symbol No. 1 – If the Laptop symbol appears on lines 3, 4 and 5, the Contract Bonus Game is launched. Players can win up to 270,000 coins through the Contract Bonus Game.
• Bonus symbol No. 2 – The other bonus symbol is the Insignia, which triggers the Insignia Bonus Game when it lands on reels 1, 2 and 3.

 Graphics and Sounds

Hitman’s sounds are designed to create a mysterious tone as if the player is lurking unnoticed in shadows with the Hitman. Smaller winning combinations are usually signified with muted clicks, while bigger wins will spark graphics featuring video, music and other sounds from the Hitman video game. Visually, the game takes place on a black background that befits the subject, with slick symbols and quality graphics mixed with the gameplay.

Jackpot

There are three big paydays that gamblers should look for from the Hitman video slot. The first is a 4,000x payout that occurs when players land five of the Sniping Hitman symbols on the same payline. The second is 6,000x cashout players can pocket by picking the right symbol in the Insignia Bonus Game. Lastly, there is a 270,000-coin payout player can win the Contract Bonus Game. Those enticing jackpots help offset the game’s fairly substandard 95.48 payout percentage.

Special Features

The bonus games are the big draw here, with the Insignia Bonus game and Contract Bonus Game offering huge paydays and a fun change of pace from regular slot spinning.

• Insignia Bonus Game – This game is triggered by landing the Insignia symbol on the first, second and third reel. Players are then asked to select one of those three Insignia symbols, with a different bonus hiding behind each symbol. Players keep whichever payout they reveal.
• Contract Bonus Game – This bonus game is one of the unique offerings on the web. Players can trigger the game by landing the Laptop symbol on the third, fourth and fifth lines. Once entered, players are presented with a “Mission Briefing”, in which they’re presented with five potential targets to take out. Each target has a different range of potential payouts, with some boasting a higher floor but the lower ceiling, and others offering a bigger potential payout with the risk of a lower guaranteed win.

After picking a target, players have to select a weapon to execute the hit. Players have their choice of five weapons: a handgun, a sniper rifle, a syringe, a knife and a choking wire. The payout will be determined by the player’s weapon choice. Choose the right weapon, and your payday could be massive, with the max win a whopping 270,000 coins.
