Hot Ink Slot

Hot Ink is a 5 reels and 1024 ways to win video slot powered by Microgaming. The slot comes with a cool theme that enables you to play around in a tattoo parlour with iconic tattoo designs. The life of a tattoo artist is somewhat of a paradox as it seems to be all glitz and glamour but at the same time, it is heavily underrated.  
With Hot Ink, you can play from as little as 0.50 to a maximum of 125 per spin. The flexibility of the bet amount makes it ideal for players of all walks of life. You can enjoy the game on any desktop, tablet or mobile device as long as you have a solid internet connection. It is considered to be a medium to high variance slot with an RTP of 97.5% which is quite impressive for a slot game.
 
Apart from offering players a chance to escape to a world of ink and cool tattoo designs the slot offers some spectacular bonus features. There is also the added benefit of striking big wins that can go as high as 122,500 coins in a single spin.  
As the theme is something not everyone favours it might not be for you. If the thought of needles or ink carved into the skin makes your hair stand up it might be best to give the slot a skip. Instead, you can opt to try something a little more favourable like Microgaming’s Highlander slot based on the iconic classic film. Fight for your freedom and uncover exciting treasures while reliving the hit film.

Theme & Design 

Hot Ink has a clear tattoo theme which for alternative folks can be incredibly exciting. The world of tattoos come with incredible variety as no design is shot down or refused. In essence tattoo artists are still artists that make a living while using bodies as canvases for their art. As always Microgaming goes all out in creating a slot that fully captivates the essence of the theme.  

The backdrop of the slot is a splatter of some of the most popular and iconic tattoos that have been created. On the reels, you will find symbols that are all related to the theme with the low-value symbols being small tattoos such as hearts and horseshoes, believed to bring a little luck. The higher value symbols is the tattoo shop, a few gorgeous female customers, the tattoo artist and the chair. The slot is accompanied by a spectacular rock soundtrack which works nicely with the theme as it is considered to be an alternative profession driven by rock culture.  

Bonus features and Gameplay 

The wild of the slot is the Hot Ink logo and it substitutes for all other symbols on the reels apart from the bonus symbols. One of the main exciting features of the slot is that it offers you 1024 ways to win. Then, of course, there is also the excitement of getting to choose a real to re-spin after any spin in order to trigger a win. Of course, the re-spin will come at an extra cost but it could provide a win that definitely makes it worthwhile.  

Then there is the Tattoo bonus that is triggered when you land three or more Tattoo bonus scatter symbols. This bonus feature unlocks a mini-game where you will get to click on three books of tattoos in hope of finding the same tattoo in all of them. If you manage to do so successfully you will unlock 10 free spins during which all wins are subjected to a 2x multiplier. Even if you fail to trigger the free spins you will still be awarded a prize for each symbol you reveal.  

You can also trigger the free spins round by landing three or more koi fish symbols anywhere on the reels. Doing this will award you 20 free spins during which all wins are doubled and you have the opportunity to re-trigger the free spins. Ultimately you could end up triggering a total of 40 free spins during which you could win 100,000 coins in a single free spin.  

With the re-spin mechanic and two possible ways to trigger the free spins feature Hot Ink is in no short supply of rewarding gameplay.
