Most online casino players may recall that the first branded online slot was Tomb Raider. But the name of the second is usually forgotten. This video slot was Hitman, also from Microgaming. Like Tomb Raider, Hitman is also based on a popular video game developed by Eidos Interactive. As is the practice in branded slots, graphics and video content has been taken from the original. You can play Hitman on the desktop and mobile platforms of Microgaming online casinos like 32Red, Lucky Nugget and Platinum Play.

Hitman was also known as Agent 47, an assassin who did not miss. The high paying symbols are close up images of Hitman. The win animations show him in action. The low paying symbols are the weapons used by Hitman in his assignments. They include rifle, lethal injection, knife and garrote. Hitman with two pistols is the wild symbol. It appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4 but expands to turn the reel completely wild.

There are three exciting bonus features in the Hitman online slot. Three or more ‘18’ symbols scattered on the reels award 18 free spins with doubled payouts. The significance of 18 is not very clear. It may refer to Mission No. 18. The free spins cannot be retriggered. The Insignia bonus is triggered when three insignia symbols appear anywhere on reels 1, 2 and 3. This is a bonus game on the reels. You have to select one of the symbols to win an instant bonus of up to 6,000 coins. The Contract bonus feature is triggered when the Bonus symbol lands anywhere on reels 3, 4 and 5. This is s two-stage bonus game on the second screen. In the first stage you pick a target for Hitman from the five displayed for a bonus amount. In the second stage you have then to choose a weapon for Hitman to use. You will be awarded a random multiplier. The total bonus from this feature is the product of the two values.

Hitman is a 5 reels and 3 rows video slot with 15 selectable paylines. You can wager up to 20 coins per payline and the coin size ranges from $0.01 to $0.50. The maximum total bet of $150 per spin is ideal for high roller players at Microgaming online casinos. The top line payout for five of a kind win combination is 4,000 coins. You can expect variance on the higher side in this online slot.
