Their commitment to quality gambling when and wherever you want it means this title is available on all devices, and performs flawlessly irrespective of your preferred orientation, flowing seamlessly between portrait and landscape. 

 Welcome To the Show 

With Hit It Big Elk Studios have incorporated all the cheesiest elements of your favourite TV game shows into one funky slot. As soon as you load the game you are bombarded with flashing neon screens and the atypical deep-voiced gameshow host welcoming you to “Hit It Big”, and declaring that they “have a great contestant tonight”. The ambient sounds are canned laughter, general gameshow mumbo jumbo and of course audience applause. 

Visually the reels of this 5x3 slot are not at all what you’ll be expecting. The entire top half of the screen is made up a 5x4 grid of television screen which combined display the slot name! Initially this looks like a waste of real estate, however in true gameshow fashion any win on the reels is displayed on this headlining billboard! 

The bottom half of the screen is the 5x3 grid, which offers the expected classic slot fare of Triple 7’s, single 7’s, Bars and a Wild symbols. Above and below the base game reels are two additional rows which are randomly filled by a series of Bonus Feature symbols. These symbols can be triggered on any spin, and their feature will be immediately applied to the current spin. 

 Funky Features On Every Spin 

Being a classic slot variant Hit It Big has only 5 fixed paylines, however the ability to trigger a series of features and multipliers on any spin adds a high level of anticipation and excitement to the base game. Beyond the base game, triggering the Bonus Game puts you in line to play for the thrilling €250,000 max jackpot – since the mega payout is in actual fact 2500x your bet you need to be playing at the max bet of €100 per spin to take home this top prize. 

 Bonus Features 

The bonus features in Hit It Big act as their own mini-slot, with each spin of the reels the five symbols above and below reels 1-5 are randomly refreshed. When a reel has a pair of matching symbols above and below it the represented feature is triggered. 

The features on offer are: 

✓ Locked Wilds – Covers reels 1 and 5 with Wilds and locks them in place for 3 Respins 

✓ Stacked Wilds – Covers the reel with Wilds, and then calculates win amount 

✓ Win Multiplier – Applies up to 50x multiplier to any winning paylines 

✓ Respin – Triggers a single respins, other features become sticky and apply to the win amount of the respin as well as the original spin 

Theoretically it is possible to land 5 features per spin, which will all be applied together. The only outlier would be the Respin feature where multipliers and Wilds would become locked in place and applied to both the original spin and the respin. 

 Bonus Game 

The Bonus Game feels like it was copied directly from the small screen and inserted into your online slots experience. Landing 3x Hit It Big symbol on the reels triggers the bonus round. The base reels are replaced by a 5x5 grid which comprises 3 “rings” of symbols. 

The game is played by you hitting a big red button and stopping the flashing lights on a randomly selected symbol. These symbols will be either a multiplier, an arrow or a Bandit. The multipliers applies to the current win amount, the arrow advances you into the next ring (and bigger win opportunities), while landing on the Bandit symbol will end the round. 

The aim of the game is land on the arrows to advance to the “Hit it Big” symbol at the center of the grid. Doing so allows you to play for the grand prize of 2500x your bet, which at max bet is worth an astounding €250,000!
