Hoot Loot slot machine review, strategy, and bonus to play online

IGT and High 5 Games have a habit of producing one-of-a-kind slots that break the usual rules. How about a slot featuring a talking owl? What a hoot! Yes, Hoot Loot is just that, a game where your feathered friend guides you to cash prizes.

Hoot Loot has been a favorite in brick-and-mortar casinos for many years, and is now available to play at TwinSpires Casino.

How to Play Hoot Loot Slots

The slot looks different than most, with cartoon-style graphics based in a lush green forest set against a clear night sky. With five reels and three rows, you can match winning symbols against 20 defined paylines.

The symbols are all things you might expect to find should you go wandering around this particular isolated scene. There are some toadstools, wild strawberries, an eagle, leaves, a moose, fox, honey-eating bear, a nest of eggs, and a bear’s paw print. The toadstools, raspberries, and leaves are the lowest paying, bringing you 100 coins if you land five across the same line. The biggest earners are the eagle, bear, moose, fox, and porcupine, all of which get you 500 coins on one line.

The game logo represents the wild symbol, and it will substitute for all others except for the scatter, which is an image of a safe (not something you would expect to find in a forest, oddly enough).

If you are lucky enough to get three safe symbols anywhere on reels one, three, and five, you trigger the Hoot’s Safe Bonus. Here, you must pick one of the three safes to reveal your prize, which can be anything from five to 25 times your original stake.

Additionally, the wild symbols can bring prizes of their own. Get five of them on one active payline for an amazing 20,000 coins.

One of the first things you notice about the Hoot Loot slot is the Hoot Line at the bottom, below the usual rows. This is a separate Bonus line containing matching Hoot symbols that drop randomly. If they make up a winning line with symbols in the main game area, you can win up to 22 times your line bet.

Hoot Loot Slot Machine Strategy

Owls are known to be wise, so use your own good sense to bet the max if you can afford it, thereby maximizing any wins that come your way. You can also play the Hoot Loot slot on your mobile devices.

The return to player (RTP) percentage is 95%, which is not the most generous in the genre, especially as the game providers do not have to keep some of your bets aside to fund a progressive jackpot of any kind.

But there are plenty of casual players who will ignore that stat because the Hoot Loot slot machine is fun to play. After all, who doesn’t like interacting with a talking owl? Add in the fact that many online players will have experienced Hoot Loot in casinos in Las Vegas and beyond, and you can be sure this online version will remain popular for a while.
