NetEnt's Miami Vice tribute with expanding wilds on toggleable Hotlines
Any wild that lands on an active Hotline expands to cover the entire reel before wins are evaluated. Expanded wilds substitute for every symbol except the scatter.
When a wild expands on an active Hotline, the win is paid and then an extra re-spin is triggered with that expanded wild locked in place.
Landing three Miami sunset scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 unlocks 7 free spins, played at the same bet, coin value and Hotline settings as the triggering spin.
Each of the game's horizontal lines is its own Hotline that can be switched on or off, and activating more Hotlines raises both the stake and the odds of expanding wilds and re-spins.
The theoretical return shifts with how many Hotlines are active: roughly 96.13% with one, 96.70% with two, and 97.04% with all three enabled.
Set the currency value between 0.01 and 1 using the Currency Value controls, then decide how many of the three Hotlines to activate — at least one is always live.
Use Level +/- to pick coins per line, or hit Max Bet to jump straight to the highest stake available for the active Hotlines.
Press Spin to play a single round, or use Autoplay to run through a chosen number of spins automatically without further clicks.
Watch reels 1, 3 and 5 for the sunset scatter symbol — three of them award 7 free spins with locked expanding wilds throughout the round.
Hotline runs on 5 reels, 3 rows and 30 paylines, wrapping its 80s Miami chase theme in a soundtrack of police sirens and synth beats; landing three sunset scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 unlocks 7 free spins, and any wild that expands during those spins stays locked on its reel until the bonus round finishes, giving every free spin a real shot at a fully expanded, high-paying reel.
Hotline drops players into an 80s cop-show fantasy, with two mustachioed detectives — clear stand-ins for a certain Miami-set TV duo — chasing crooks down sunset streets in muscle cars. NetEnt built the game around that nostalgia, pairing siren-laced music with retro symbol art across a 5-reel, 30-payline layout.
The standout mechanic is the Hotline Plus Bet system: each horizontal payline is its own switchable Hotline, and turning more of them on raises the stake alongside your odds of landing expanding wilds and re-spins. With one Hotline active the game plays at a 96.13% RTP; two Hotlines push it to 96.70%; all three bring it to the game’s headline 97.04% figure. Wilds that land on an active Hotline expand across the whole reel, pay out, and can even trigger a bonus re-spin.
For bigger swings, three scatter sunsets on reels 1, 3 and 5 open up 7 free spins, during which expanding wilds lock in place for the rest of the round. It’s a slot that rewards players who lean into the Plus Bet system rather than sticking to the minimum line, and the retro presentation makes the wait between big hits genuinely enjoyable. Hotline plays instantly in any modern browser on desktop or mobile, with no downloads or plugins required.
Landing 3 scatter symbols — the sunset over palm trees — on reels 1, 3 and 5 activates the bonus, awarding 7 free spins. Any Expanding Wild that appears during those spins stays locked in place for the rest of the feature.
Yes, Hotline is fully optimized for mobile play and runs smoothly on both Android and iOS devices, with all graphics, animations, and features preserved from the desktop version.
Each horizontal payline in Hotline is its own switchable Hotline. Activating more Hotlines increases your total bet but also raises your chances of triggering expanding wilds and re-spins, with at least one Hotline always active.
According to the game’s payout details, the maximum win is 400 times your bet, which can translate to a substantial cash prize when playing at the maximum stake.
Yes. Whenever a wild lands on an active Hotline — in the base game, a re-spin, or Free Spins — it expands to cover the entire reel before wins are paid out.
