Hook’s Heroes Slot review

Hook’s Heroes looks like a pirate themed slot machine, but it’s actually a school play where kids are in the main roles.

As far as pirate themed slot machines go, there is no shortage of them these days. Most developers own at least one or two such titles, with big treasures and fierce pirates used as symbols. With Hook’s Heroes, the experience is slightly different, the theme being inspired in this case by a school play, with kids acting as pirates. This is a slot which holds 20 bet lines on 5 reels, and which offers up to $9,000 with its jackpot.

I was impressed with the graphics which were used by Net Ent for this slot. You get two types of symbols here, playing cards which seem to be handmade, and pirate characters with kids being all dressed up, sporting hooks and eye patches, among other things. The background shows you the school play’s décor, with clouds and the Sun hanging from the ceiling, attached to ropes.

In typical Net Ent style, the slot’s wagers allow for a maximum of 10 coins to be used for each active line. All the lines are active, so you can spend anywhere between 20 and 200 coins total. As for their values, it’s a standard range as well, between $0.01 and $1, allowing for total bets of up to $200.

Captain Hook is the hero of the game, and the wild which is used as a replacement for regular symbols, when its appearance is in the right place. It doesn’t pay you directly though, it just helps out from time to time.

The scatter symbol shows you a kid dressed up as an alligator, and with two such icons present you will get a free Feature Spin, with a feature picked at random.

With a minimum of three scatter icons, your reward will be a round of free spins. You pick one of the three available features, and it will be active for the duration of the free games. Each feature has a different number of free spins.

Fairy Feature gives you two to five overlay wilds on the reels, arranged at random. With Mermaid Feature, you have a 2x multiplier for all wins, while the ones with wilds offer 4x the usual prize. The Pirate Feature looks at the symbols which are present on the reels, using ways to win instead of paylines.

It’s not your typical pirate themed slot machine, that’s for sure. I enjoyed the design very much, and the features were cool as well. The top prize of 900x is very low though.
