Hoot Loot Introduction
Hoot Loot is a forest-themed (one of many on the site!) online pokie from High5 Games full of big prizes, multipliers and a cast of colourful cartoon characters. This game has five reels and up to 20 paylines for you to select, with prizes being awarded for successful two-, three-, four- and five-of-a-kind matches. There are ten regular symbols and three special symbols four multiple types of bonus play.
Obviously this game is available to play for Free - just like the hundreds of other free pokies we have at Online Pokies 4U.
Creature Feature
The eagle, moose, bear, fox and porcupine regular symbols all award the same top prize of 500 credits each for five reel matches, though lesser matches award different prizes to one another. In addition, the fox and porcupine symbols, despite potentially offering the same top prize, only award prizes for matches of three, four or five.
At the other end of the scale are the mushroom, berry and leaf symbols, which only award a maximum prize of 100 coins each. All of the lower-value symbols only award prizes for matches of three or more, though even these smaller winnings can soon add up thanks to added functionality like multipliers, an instant win bonus round and a special extra payline.
Give a Hoot
The Hoot Loot symbol is the most valuable symbol in the game overall, and it awards prizes for two-, three-, four- and five-of-a-kind matches - the same as the top-tier regular symbols. Matching five symbols will result in your winning a massive 20,000 credit jackpot. Additionally, the symbol is wild, meaning that it can be used to substitute for any symbol as part of an active win except for the bonus and scatter symbols.
Hoot Line is the name for the special bonus payline situated at the bottom of the screen. During each spin a number of regular symbols denoted by the blue outline and accompanying owls head will appear and be added to the Hoot Line below, where they will stay for the duration of that spin.
The Hoot Line wins are subject to a multiplier equal to your total bet when fewer than 20 paylines are selected, but if all paylines are active then the multiplier becomes 22x the line bet, meaning there is the potential for some huge prizes. Unfortunately, it is not possible to get the jackpot from the Hoot Loot symbol as a Hoot Line win, though all Hoot Line wins are counted separately from the main game, meaning that there are even more chances to win.
Safe Symbol
The Hoot's Safe symbol is the key to unlocking the bonus round of the same name, which is triggered by finding these symbols in any position on reels one, three and five. This symbol is also wild, meaning that it can award prizes for appearing in any configuration, with a top prize available of 25 credits multiplied by your total bet.
In the bonus screen your job is to click on one of several safe symbols to receive a prize, the value of which is also multiplied by your total bet. Any safe bonus wins are paid in addition to regular and Hoot Line wins.
