The majority of more experienced punters out there are already familiar with the fact that EYECON casino software has loads of amazing titles both in the world of online slots and in the sphere of land-based games.

Hot off the Press is another online one-armed bandit from their portfolio and it features 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines. When it comes to extras, all punters who decide to give it a spin can count on the Prize Pick bonus feature, scatters, Free Spins and Wilds.

Keep in mind that you will be able to test out these reels even by using your mobile devices as they are fully optimized.

Let’s see what this is all about, shall we?

Theme and Symbols

When it comes to graphics, EYECON’s online slots are undoubtedly some of the best-looking ones on the market and that’s the case with Hot of the Press. It’s inspired by land-based machines and the action takes place on a retro screen offering a bunch of theme-matching icons.

Cherries, bananas and oranges are the lowest-awarding icons in the game, while single, double and triple BAR symbols are in the middle of the paytable. Blue and red lucky 7s are the premium symbols here.

As far as special symbols are concerned, punters will encounter Wilds, scatters and bonus symbols.

Betting Options and Other Functions

Hot off the Press comes with a standard 5x3 grid with 25 paylines and to form a winning combination, you will need to land at least 3 identical icons across a single payline. These lines are active, which means that you will be able to change their number during your sessions.

The betting range starts at 0.01 coins and goes as high as 12.5 coins per spin. Keep in mind that the theoretical return to player (RTP) stands at 95.19%.

In addition to Wild symbols that will increase your chances of winning by substituting all other icons from the paytable, you can activate the Pick Prize bonus feature by landing 3 bonus symbols anywhere across the reels. It’s important to understand that here, you can win an instant prize worth up to 500x the bet.

Also, 3 or more scattered newspaper icons will activate the Free Spins bonus round. Punters will get 6 spins free of charge and an x2 multiplier. Not bad, right?

Verdict

Hot off the Press is obviously another well-designed online release offering a set of traditional bonus features that are paired with simple yet highly entertaining graphics. Add to that solid payouts and you will be clear why we enjoyed the testing phase so much.
