iGaming giants NetEnt release long awaited eighties themed slot sequel Hotline 2

NetEnt have revived a firm fan favourite by releasing the sequel to their hit 2018 slot Hotline, Hotline 2, which sees players transported to the heart of 1980s Miami in this brand new iteration. 

The iGaming giants have revived the classic 5-reel crime-themed slot which boasts an impressive 243 ways to win which can potentially expand up to 1,944 during the bonus round... Which is more than enough to get us spinning the reels of this game at all of our favourite no wagering casinos.

What can you expect from Hotline 2?

Fans of this era will feel right home playing this game. This brilliant medium volatility online slot is designed to look and sound like it's come straight out of the eighties, with retro graphics and a soundtrack that fits the aesthetic perfectly.

The game pays homage to popular American crime dramas of the time and includes three main characters: Detectives Quinn and Riviera, who are the hunt for jewel thief Kitty Weiss after a high profile robbery.

Like the original Hotline game, this slot comes with the Hotline feature that increases players chances to win big thanks to expanding wild symbols. Players launch the Hotline feature by landing a wild on reel 3 at any time. If another wild lands on the Hotline then it will expand to cover the entire reel. 

If players choose to use the Double Bet or Triple Bet feature then more reels can be turned into Hotlines! 

Of course this game comes bundled with plenty of free spins that can be won by landing scatter symbols during the base game. This action-packed retro slot can see players earn an initial 7 free spins with up to 1,944 pay lines active, should the height of reels 2, 3 and 4 increase. 

It's also worth noting that whenever a Hotline reaches its maximum height during the free spin round players will automatically receive an additional 2 free spins on top of whatever they'd already won.

NetEnt excited to release the latest iteration of a real fan favourite

Andy Whitworth, Chief Commercial Officer at NetEnt spoke excitedly about the new release saying: “Hotline is a real favourite among NetEnt fans, so it made sense to expand the franchise with a sequel that ramps up the party feel and packs in more action.

"The new free spins feature perfectly complements the much-loved Hotline Bonus Bet of the original, adding another layer of excitement for maximum engagement.”
