Hit It Big RTP, variance & technical data

Before we take a closer look at all the fun features you’ll find on Hit it Big slot, we thought you might like a summary of the most relevant technical data for this game:

• RTP: 96%
• Volatility/Variance: High
• Layout: 5x3
• Paylines: 5
• Bonus features: Bonus game, Re-spins, Multipliers and Wilds
• Bets: 0.2 to 100

The RTP of 96% is just about as average as you can get, so not much more to say about that. It’s worth noting that Hit It Big is a highly volatile slot, and you need to make sure your bankroll and your bet level is adjusted to handle the fluctuations.

Hit It Big is part of ELK Studios classic slot series, but it’s not really a classic slot in the traditional sense. It comes with 5 reels, and has many video slot elements and features. The game takes you into a game show studio, and you get to compete for the big prize. It comes with all the glamour, commentary and flashiness you can expect from a game show, and this helps give the game a very authentic feel.

Hit It Big bonus features

There are some very exciting bonus features to be found on Hit It Big slot, and we shall take a closer look at all of them here.

Reel Game Feature

In the main game you can benefit from something called the Reel Game Feature. As you can see, there is a set of neon-colored feature buttons both above and below the reels. These buttons will display a variation of different features that can land you new combinations on every spin.

When any of the upper and lower buttons match up on any given spin, you’ll benefit from whatever feature is displayed on the buttons. The feature will also be displayed on the giant jumbotron above the reels, as to leave no doubt about what is going on. It’s possible to land 4 different features on the same spin (this is, however, not very likely to happen too often), and the features are as follows:

• Locked Wilds – will cover reel 1 and 5 with stacked wilds, and keep them locked in place for 3 re-spins
• Stacked Wilds – will cover whatever reel is activated with a stacked wild
• Respin – will award a re-spin to all reels
• Multipliers – will give you a multiplier between 2x and 50x

Hit It Big Bonus Game

When you land 3 scatter symbols you’ll trigger the Hit It Big Bonus Game, which lies at the heart of this game show slot. The game show bonus game comes with 3 different levels, and your job will be to hit the stop button as a selection marker moves across different multipliers randomly. The multipliers are “disguised” as game show prizes like motorcycles, yachts and other nice items.

Every time you win a multiplier it will be replaced by a Bandit symbol, and if the marker stops on a Bandit symbol the feature ends. If you land on an inward pointing arrow you’ll be taken to the next level with even better multipliers and prizes. You can also hit outward pointing arrows which will degrade you to a lower level. If you reach the top level 3, you can win the highest multiplier which is 1000 times your stake.

Hit It Big free spins

Hit It Big slot does not come with any dedicated free spins feature, but it’s not really missed because of all the other fun features you’ll find on this game. You can get plenty of re-spins, which are similar to free spins in many ways, so we cannot really blame ELK Studios for not including a free spins feature on this game.

Hit It Big jackpot (max win)

There is no progressive jackpot to be won on Hit It Big slot, and not local jackpot either. That doesn’t mean you cannot win some pretty good payouts here, and the max win is 2,500 times your stake. If you play with the maximum stake of £100, this amounts to £250,000. It’s a decent potential, but it could perhaps have been even higher with regards to the high volatility.

Hit It Big mobile & tablet

You can play Hit It Big slot on both mobile and tablet, and ELK Studios knows how to optimize their games for all platforms. This is a fun game to bring with you wherever you go, and it’s like having a whole game show in your pocket. Play on your iPhone and iPad, or on your Android devices if you so desire.

SlotCatalog verdict

ELK Studios has created a nice game show based slot with Hit It Big, and it’s a very suiting theme for a slot machine. The commentary adds to the authenticity of the game, and the features are both fun and innovative. Some people might miss a dedicated free spins feature, but we don’t really think it would do this game any good. Our only grudge is the somewhat low potential of only 2500x your stake. This is a highly volatile slot, and the max win could have been higher.
