London Hunter

London Hunter slot review

London Hunter is a video slot developed by Habanero that takes players on a thrilling adventure through a steampunk rendition of Victorian London. Released in 2018, the game boasts a unique theme where players join a hunter and his bulldog companion as they chase a rampaging Tyrannosaurus Rex through the city streets.

Gameplay Structure:

London Hunter utilizes a standard 5×3 reel layout with 25 fixed paylines. Players can wager from 0.25 credits (minimum bet) up to 5,000 credits (maximum bet) per spin. The game offers a medium volatility level, meaning payouts occur with moderate frequency, balancing smaller wins with the potential for larger ones. The theoretical return to player (RTP) is stated as 96.63%, indicating a fair payout rate over extended gameplay.

Symbols and Payouts:

The higher-paying symbols include the hunter, his bulldog sidekick, his plasma gun, and gadgets like his pipe and goggles. The rampaging T-Rex serves a dual purpose: acting as the highest-paying symbol and the game’s wild. Appearing only on reels 1 and 5, the wild substitutes for other symbols to complete winning combinations. Lower-value symbols consist of the 9 through Ace playing cards designed to match the steampunk theme.

Bonus Features:

• Fuel Tanks: Two fuel tanks flank the reels, each offering unique benefits when filled during gameplay. The left tank, filling up in 4-14 spins, awards a 3x multiplier on all wins. The right tank, also filling up in 4-14 spins, triggers the expanding wild feature, transforming the T-Rex symbol into a 2×2 symbol when it lands with the hunter on a payline.
• Free Spins: Landing the hunter symbol on reel 1, the plasma gun on reel 3, and the T-Rex on reel 5 simultaneously awards 10 free spins. During free spins, the left fuel tank increases the multiplier by 1x with each fill, while the right tank adds 2 more spins. Both features can significantly extend the free spins round and boost potential winnings.

Progressive Jackpots:

London Hunter features two progressive jackpots, Mini and Major. These jackpots grow incrementally with every wager placed and can be triggered at random on any spin. Although higher bets increase the chance of triggering the jackpots, they can be won at any bet level.
