Big Hitter

Overview

Big Hitter is a game in which developers are trying to incorporate modern features with classic graphics...

... for it to be unique a little and give players rationale of checking it out.

Though it takes the symbols and gameplay from a basic fruit-themed title, it then changes the whole game with the way the reels are set up.

The style soon turns out to be quite retro, and...

...the wins and features are certainly not ones you would expect in a classic game, as you’ll find Multipliers, Scatters, as well as the Gamble feature to...

...double or quadruple any win!

Released in the first quarter of 2020, this is a non-progressive game with the maximum win of 1,000x the total stake!

The developer 1x2 Gaming used 3 sets of 3x1 reels, each one with its active line, so you get 3 total.

Theme & Design

The content creators decided to ignore all the latest visual achievements when crafting this title, and instead... 

...they brought the action back to basics with 2D characters such as lemons, grapes, bars and bells flooding the grid. 

The game itself looks like a standard machine where you can find...

...polished classic symbols, black reels, and reel spinning that is coloured by simple electronic sound effects, without any soundtrack. 

Though the implementation makes it look fairly simple, the setup with three sets of reels is definitely not something you’d see in a classic title. 

Betting Options

The way that the reel-set works, is by combining any occurring wins on any of the three individual sets. 

Each press on the play button spins all three reel sets in which the wins are made of three matching symbols. 

The paytable consists of six symbols and that makes it to the point. 

Each line can hold a wager between 0.05 cents to 10 credits, which means that…

...the cost of the spin varies between 0.15 cents for the low rollers to 30 credits for the high rollers.

The Return to Player has been set to 95%, which is low enough compared to an average slot of 96%.

One certain thing is the absence of Wild and Bonus symbols.

The bar is the most valuable regular icon worth up to 100x the line stake for the three-of-a-kind combination, while...

...you can win up to 50x the line stake for a collection of bells.

Grapes and oranges will bestow medium wins of 25x and 10x the line stake for their full sets, and...

...the lowest win is brought by lemons and cherries, and it bestows up to 5x and 2x the line stake, respectively.

Special Features

As the best winning combination, which requires that you land the Bar logo in all three positions, will pay 100 coins, then...

...with the highest multipliers active, at 10x, you can get a prize of up to 1,000x the round’s stake, which would mean up to $30,000!

The bonus multiplier will be offered at random, for some of your winning spins, and...

...If it does kick in for you, a multiplier of either 2x, 5x or 10x, will be applied to the win on that reel.

The great thing is...

...any payout can be gambled up to three times, and the possible payout in the double-up session may reach up to 8x the initial win.

To Conclude

Big Hitter has a simple classic fruit theme, but on the other hand, it also introduces random multipliers for your wins, and...

...it has a fair bit of potential with a top potential payout of 30,000 in the most optimal of outcomes. 

Even though the RTP is low, this game is close enough to a real classic and unique in its own way, so some might want to try it out anyway.
