Hamilton Online Video Slot Game Review
Hamilton was developed by Betsoft and is a five reel online video slot game that has twenty five pay lines. The online casino slot is based on a famous Swedish spy novel series by Jan Guillou which was adapted to film and called In the National Interest.
The twenty five pay lines are flexible and allow up to five coins to be placed on each. The coins vary in value and range from denominations of as little as 0.02 going up to the maximum denomination of 0.50 but if all twenty five pay lines are activated the betting range will be from denominations of 0.50 up to 62.50.
The Hamilton Theme and Reel Symbols
The main character is Carl Hamilton who is a military intelligence officer. The game revolves around secret undercover spies and features images pertaining to the story. Video clips from the film are seen throughout the game while the reels are set on bombed ruins with the buttons below the reels on images of old dynamite boxes, gas canisters and so on. The graphics are detailed displaying items strewn around to enhance the visuals of the theme.
The Hamilton online slot reel symbols include images of army vehicles; speed boats; missile launches; guns; helicopters and more. All of the regular symbols will only pay out on activate pay lines which run from left to right starting at the far left reel.
Special Symbols on the Hamilton Reels
Special symbols include a wild; a bonus and a scatter all of which are clearly marked with their bonus function. While the wild symbol acts as a replacement for any of the regular symbols when a win is possible, the bonus and scatter symbols trigger the bonus features. The wild symbol is also the top paying symbol which awards a jackpot prize of 7 500 coins when five land an active pay line with the maximum bet in play. Two wilds on a pay line will also pay out an amount of 5 coins.
The Second Screen Bonus Game Feature
Three or more of the clearly marked bonus symbols will activate the Hamilton online slot second screen bonus game feature. The bonus symbols do however need to have landed in a row on an active pay line in order to do this.
The aim of this game is to find and destroy as many missiles as possible that are placed in 12 cities around the world. A credit is awarded for each and every missile that is uncovered and the cities with missiles hold anything from 25 to 500 missiles. Failure to locate a city with a missile will result in the end of the bonus game.
The Free Spins Bonus Round Feature
Three, four or five of the Hamilton online slot scatter symbols appearing anywhere on the reels trigger the free spins bonus round feature. Ten free spins will be awarded with a multiplier of 3x on every free spins win.
Another three, four or five of the scatter symbols appearing on the reels during the free spins bonus round will re-trigger the feature and award another ten free spins with a 3x multiplier.
