The games developer 1X2 Gaming has reimagined its November 2019 video slot Big Hitter; the classic slot symbolism is thematized in this retro game whose regular payouts range from X2 to X100 for a three-of-a-kind in its single winning line. Additionally, the players may win big (thus its title) courtesy of its three bonus multipliers and three-round gamble multipliers.

Big Hitter Game Characteristics

Big Hitter has retained the slot machine’s classic appearance. It has a double red-framed and double golden-partitioned grid, with three detached 3X1 reels—therefore, one spin may form a winning combination across the bottom, middle or top reels.

Set on a dark purple background, there are three cells—each with violet-and-purple frames, and beside each reel—along the center where the post-win bonus multipliers are drawn. The side game is played on the cyan-framed “bank” feature on the right, fitted with three possible multipliers too.

Adjusted using the “< stake >” icons at bottom right, the ten stakes are: $0.05, $0.10, $0.25, $0.50, $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, and $10.00.

Applying a X3 factor—for each of the three concurrent spins—to the aforementioned bet sizes yields these ten optional total bets (displayed at bottom left): $0.15 (minimum bet), $0.30, $0.75, $1.50, $3.00, $6.00, $9.00, $12.00, $15.00, and $30.00 (maximum bet).

There are neither free games nor special symbols in Big Hitter whose six ordinary symbols are: gray-and-off-white “BAR”, grapes, lemon, golden bell, orange, and cherries.

A three-of-a-kind offers these Big Hitter’s payouts (showed at bottom center), depending with each total bet.

Cherries pay X2, therefore: $0.30, $0.60, $1.50, $3.00, $6.00, $12.00, $18.00, $24.00, $30.00, or $60.00.
Lemons pay X5, therefore: $0.75, $1.50, $3.75, $7.50, $15.00, $30.00, $45.00, $60.00, $75.00, and $150.00.
Oranges pay X10, thus: $1.50, $3.00, $7.50, $15.00, $30.00, $60.00, $90.00, $120.00, $150.00, and $300.00.
Grapes pay X25, thus: $3.75, $7.50, $18.75, $37.50, $75.00, $150.00, $225.00, $300.00, $375.00, and $750.00.
Bells pay X50, therefore: $7.50, $15.00, $37.50, $75.00, $150.00, $300.00, $450.00, $600.00, $750.00, and $1500.00.
BARs pay X100, thus: $15.00, $30.00, $75.00, $150.00, $300.00, $600.00, $900.00, $1200.00, $1500.00, and $3000.00 (maximum regular payout).

A successful combination may prompt the central cell adjacent to the winning reel to start spinning before randomly displaying an orange X2, or X5, or X10 win multiplier. Thus, the bonus-multiplied wins range from $0.60 to $30000.00.

However, every win prompts the side game: players may claim their regular (or partially gambled) winnings by pressing the white-and-green “collect” icon, or tap the orange “gamble” icon for the side game.

On pressing “gamble”, there are randomized stoppages of the flickering orange “double” or green “nothing” icons. The “nothing” outcome nullifies the regular win; for successful back-to-back gambles, the “double” outcome applies a “X2” (first gamble), “X4” (second gamble), and, potentially, X8 (third gamble) multipliers. Theoretical non-progressive jackpot: X32000, which (32000X30) is $960000.00.

The Big Hitter software: HTML5 technology; mobile/desktop versions; and last 100 bets history. On/off sounds: ambient disco beats; and retro sound effects. The gushing golden coins aside; the otherwise flashing 3D graphics lack animation.
