Hotline™ is a 5-reel slot machine released by NetEnt in 2018. If you liked the style of the TV-series Miami Vice, we think you will like the style of this game too. This is NOT a branded Miami Vice slot, but it is really difficult to look at it without thinking about Crockett & Tubbs. However, the heroes of this game are called Baretta & Shades. Together, they chase a female villain in their red hot sports car, against a Miami beach sunset backdrop. Naturally, the background music is filled to the brim with 1980’s nostalgia.
One of the great features of this game is how the red hot sports car will turn into an expanding wild if it appears on an active Hotline, and stay in place for a re-spin (in the base game) or for the rest of the Free Spins round (during the Free Spins round).
Examples of symbols that can appear on the reels when you play the Hotline slot are Baretta, Shades, and the female villain. She is the highest paying of the regular symbols. There is also some desirable jewelry: a crown, a necklace, and a ring.
