Hitman Slot - My Thoughts
Hitman is (as at April 2007) a new slot from Microgaming, that finally, after months
of cloning other slots delivers something new and exciting. Based on the Eidos Hitman video
game, the graphics are superb with expanding wild symbols providing video-esque animations.
There are three types of bonus round, 2 pick-em style, one of which is boring and the other
more entertaining (and potentially far more lucrative), plus an "18 free spins" feature
where wins are doubled.
There is one minor gripe I have with the new
Hitman
slot: the "scatters" trigger the free spins, but don't pay
anything and the free spins can't retrigger. Downer. Worth noting too that the game can appear to be quite slow to play
at first because of the animations, but you can override this in "Options" by setting it to "Quickspin".
At the moment, I'm enjoying Hitman - it just feels good to play. I like the
"expanding wild" on reels 2,3 and 4 that covers all 3 spaces on the reel a-lá some RTG Real Series
slots. Microgaming have done an excellent job on this slot.
