Hi-Lo Slot Review
Have you ever used a pick-up line to chat up a babe? I’m not very good at using one-liners but I have heard some doozies in my time. 💬👌👈
I was at an inter-university party back in the day when one of my Afrikaans homies said the following to a girl who was passing by: “Ek hou van jou 🐱.” Translated it means: I greatly appreciate your feline friend.
She answered in kind with: “Ek hou van jou 🍆” – I do admire the man meat you are exhibiting – and that was that; they were off to the races.
Goth rocker Marilyn Manson preferred [you’re as] Pretty as a Swastika – which became one of the song titles on his 2009 album The High End of Low.
The singer claimed he had come up with this “complex poetic statement” because the goth girl in question had “black hair, red lips and pale skin.” So, yeah – initial shock value aside, it seems the corset-wearing singer might’ve come up with something a tad more creative than my friend.
But hey; you’ve got to work with your audience and both dudes managed to engage in a bit of assault with a friendly weapon.
I think I’m gonna play Brian Warner’s album as the soundtrack as I get to grips with Hi-Lo slot from Hacksaw. 🃏♠️♥️
Gameplay
Today we’ll delve into a game unlike any you’ve seen before. Probably. Hi-Lo slot from Hacksaw Gaming ain’t your classic fruity or traditional 5-reel game. Oh, no – this one is tots different but really simple.
The object of the game is to guess what the next card will be as there’s a face-up card shown in the play area. If you’re happy with the card then hit BET else you can request a new card by clicking on the arrow icon to the top right of the card.
Once you’ve selected BET, you’ll see the following options flanking your card: red or black (so will the next card be one of these colors), and “lower or same” or “higher or same” (so will the next card be of lower or equal value to the face-up card, or higher than or equal to it).
And that leads me to conclude that the name of this game is misleading as there’s more to it than just selecting between high or low. Tsk, tsk, Hacksaw Gaming. 😬
Hacksaw has also included the percentages for each option so you can make an informed decision. But let me be clear – while it is possible to go with these percentages and get away with it for a while, don’t expect to score win after win each time.
This is gambling, after all, and the percentages are an indication – not a guarantee – so things can change unexpectedly.
You’ll also see a multiplier value for each option, indicating what you stand to win if you guess right. Naturally, these figures are higher for those options where the percentage of you winning is lower.
If you guess correctly, you can keep betting and accumulate money. But be warned: if you don’t collect your hard-earned moolah, a single loss will wipe out all you’ve made thus far.
And as far as I can tell, there’s no incentive to keep your winnings in play rather than collecting them each time so hit that COLLECT button frequently.
You can skip the face-up card you’ve been dealt up to 5 times per round if you don’t fancy it, but after that, you’ll have no option but to make your choice.
There are no paylines in play and the volatility rate is variable. The stats are stupendous: a 96% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., a max multiplier of 5,000x, and a top prize worth €250,000. Betting is in fiat currency.
As a final note, I must say that Hi-Lo slot looks absolutely incredible on a phone – try it! And it’s easy to play on a bus or train; in any scenario really because you’re simply choosing between 4 options so hitting one of them isn’t fiddly work.
Features
There are no features in Hi-Lo slot.
Performance
I played a whole slew of rounds of Hi-Lo slot on my desktop and iPhone and it never came up short.
Maximum Win
Betting starts at €0.20 and is capped at €50. Scoring the 5,000x max multiplier at the highest bet will net you a top prize worth €250,000.
Conclusion
I love this game. I enjoy the simplicity of choosing between the four options. I also like making a decision based on percentages because anything can happen and I feel like I’m in control and not at the mercy of a random number generator.
And if you’re a mobile player, this is simply one of the most visually appealing games you can take with you.
And the fact that it’s uncomplicated and authentic to its nature is commendable – I’m so glad the studio hasn’t added a bunch of non-related things to flesh it out. Sometimes, simple is the way to go.
So, yeah – if the above sounds interesting to you then why not check it out? This is definitely a game I’ll be coming back to.
