Hex Slot Review

Hex Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Hex slot is a 5 reel, 3 row game with 243 ways to win in the base game. Once you trigger the Free Spins feature, the slot then becomes 4 rows with 1,024 ways to win. A winning combination is formed by landing 3 or more matching symbols in any position across 3 or more adjacent reels from left to right, beginning from reel 1.

You can spin away from just 10p up to £30 per spin. Simply use the + and – buttons on either side of the bet value to adjust your stake. Turbo spins and infinite autospins are possible in most territories too apart from the UK.

The Hex RTP is 96.43%, which is well above the 96% average for an online slot. But with volatility here being really high, big winners will land less frequently than a slot with lower variance, although they are still very much possible due to the randomness and fairness in places on all slots.

The maximum win is 25,000 x your stake, which is really generous and will tempt many players to this game just for the huge payout potential it possesses. Your best chance of landing this will be during the Free Spins feature because you can enjoy more and more free spins during the round if you manage to land scatters.

Theme – Magical powers can build bigger wins

The theme is all about black magic in the Hex slot game, but you might not think that initially from the soundtrack. While it’s all eerie and creepy sounding before you spin the reels, it all of a sudden turns upbeat and magical sounding as you hit the spin button, which is the complete opposite to what you’d expect with snakes and voodoo dolls on the reels.

The reels appear in front of a room full of potions, bones and books that are no doubt full of spells to create an unnerving atmosphere. Once the Free Spins feature lands, the music speeds up but is still quite nice and melodic, although you’ll see a spooky set of bones, a candle, and a skull floating to the right of the reels.

As well as the snakes and the voodoo dolls, you’ll come across potions in different colours as well as a chicken’s foot and a goat skull. The goat skull is the most rewarding symbol, paying 2, 4 or 10 x your stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination. The wild only pays if 5 of them land, but that returns 20 x your stake.

Hex Bonus Features

There a 3 bonus features in the Hex slot – the Mystery Reveal feature, the Free Spins feature and the Buy Free Spins feature. Let’s explore what each one is all about.

Mystery Reveal feature

On the 5th reel, you will come across Sorceress symbols, which converts all symbols marked with a frame around them as well as itself into the same symbol. This can only happen on reel 5, and you can unveil a Silver Sorceress or a Gold Sorceress:

• Silver Sorceress – will convert marked symbols present into the same randomly selected paying symbol.
• Gold Sorceress – converts marked symbols present into the Wild symbol.

Free Spins feature

Landing 3 or more scatters in the base game will trigger the Free Spins feature. Here’s how many you can get depending on whether you trigger it with 3, 4 or 5 scatters:

Before the bonus round begins, the reels expand to create an additional row, which means that there are now 4 rows and 1,024 ways to win.

Any converted symbols will stay marked for the duration of the bonus round, which means that the reels can progressively fill with marked positions throughout the feature.

Buy Free Spins feature

Players in most territories can buy the Free Spins feature for 100 x your stake. You can do this by selecting the ‘Buy Feature’ button that’s displayed to the left of the reels. Please note that this is not available in the UK.

Hex Review Summary – Bubbling entertainment

The Hex slot game is a fun one to play despite the dark theme of black magic and goat skulls on the reels. While the base game is pretty enjoyable, it’s all about the Free Spins feature where an extra row comes into play to give you 1,024 ways to win. The Sorceresses add to the excitement by transforming symbols to make for potentially bigger wins.

Overall, the max win of 25,000 x your stake is probably enough to tempt players in irrespective of the theme or bonus features available. We would have liked to see more bonus features on offer, but we’re happy enough with what we experienced while playing this game.

If you’re still not sure if the Hex slot is one for you, why not give our free demo a try first?

Sticking with the theme around potions and spells, there are 2 top slots you should consider as an alternative to this one – Playtech’s Halloween Fortune 2 and the Wild Cauldron slot from Quickspin. Both come with decent max wins of 18,000 x and 21,120 x respectively, with Wild Cauldron giving you up to a whopping 262,144 ways to win.
