How it plays
Hotline is a slot from NetEnt. Each row is a Hotline that the player can activate or deactivate, and a Wild landing on an activated Hotline expands to fill the reel. This page covers only the rules and figures that are officially published and offers no way to win.
Each row is a Hotline, players can activate or deactivate individual Hotlines, and one Hotline is always active by default.
The number of active Hotlines affects the bet and the chance of landing Expanding Wilds, according to the official description.
When a Wild lands on an activated Hotline, it expands to fill the reel and awards a Re-Spin, and Free Spins start when enough Scatter symbols land on the named reels.
Every round is random and earlier results have no effect on the next one. This site gives no betting advice.

RTP is a theoretical value published officially. It describes the average return over the long run and many rounds, and says nothing about a single round or a short period. The version actually offered depends on the operator's settings, and the information in the game takes precedence. Items the official page does not publish are not listed in this table and are not guessed. Official page
Stake lists this game; whether you can play it depends on where you are.
