The symbols used in the slot are tattoo parlor, the chair in a tattoo parlor, the man which is making a tattoo, tattoo designs such as star, cherries etc. The soundtrack of the slot is very cheerful can’t comment on it much because I have never been to a tattoo parlor.

The wild symbol is the hot ink logo. The fish symbols are the scatter symbols which trigger the free spins feature when three or more appear on the reels. You are awarded with 20 free spins and 2 x multiplier. The number of free spins is more than most of other slot games usually offer. Now comes the tattoo bonus which is triggered when three or more tattoo symbols appear on the reels. Under this feature number of tattoo albums appear and on selecting these albums tattoos open up. If you are successful to open three identical tattoos you are awarded with 10 free spins with double payout.

Although the slot has 1024 play lines still it has never given me very good returns. I was playing this slot recently at 32red casino with a bet of $0.50. I was struggling with the returns and I started playing with the account balance of $25. In an hour of play I ended with around $32. I even tried increasing the bet to $1 in the middle of my game play but it was futile.

So not a big fan of this slot and I would rate it as 7/10.

To begin with I would say that the game has really good graphics. The women in this game are very beautiful and make the experience very delightful. I can spend a long time playing this game with out getting bored and think that it is an achievement.

The game has two features and they are both cool. My favorite one is the free spins and in my view can pay much more than the bonus. My biggest win on €0.50 was €80 and I got almost same amount few other times.

The game has a spin feature where you can hold reels and try another spin on others. It costs money but it helped me out a couple of times. I don't see that on other games and think its and epic idea.

The bonus feature is also pretty cool and you have to pick matching tattoos. If you manage to do so you also get free spins, but I could never match them. My biggest win was around €10 on €0.50 bet.

The game also pays quite regularly and you make cash as you play. I can spend a lot of time playing this game and stay at same amount of money.

When I saw the possibilities of this slot I got a little bit curious I decided to try it out. It definitely looks different with all those interesting symbols, background colors and a special music that I think captured the spirit of this slot.

I played this slot at a minimum of 0.50$ and at the very beginning I got to warn you that you don't even try to play this game unless you have a good balance to back you up. As I began playing I immediately noticed the respin buttons that were located under each reel with a price to respin, so I definitely think this was a good idea especially if you need that five of a kind, bonus symbol or a scatter symbol.

The slot has a wild symbol of course that is represented by Hot Ink and also a nice Mixed pay feature that will pay from unusual left to right way if only Angel and Luci are in that combination. I had that happen couple of times but it is not easy to get since especially I didn't play this game much because of my balance, it was too low when I tried this game in the first place.

The game also has a bonus that needs 3, 4 or 5 symbols to activate it and there you choose three albums to reveal a combination of tattoos and win prizes but if those three tattoos complete a set you will be awarded with 10 FS at 2x multiplier. I managed to trigger this two times but both times I couldn't get the three tattoos to match. Also the slot has a scatter symbol that when triggered it grants 20 FS with a 2x multiplier and also these FS can be re-triggered which was awesome especially since I managed to do that on my first trigger of this feature which in total granted me still only 14.6$.

Overall definitely a interesting game and a little bit different from the ones we are all used to. But I don't know if I will try this game again unless I approach it with a good balance. 7/10

4 or 5 scatter gives you 20 free spins and during this feature all winnings are doubled. Free spins can also be retriggered. I had once this feature, but i did not like it so much. Playing free spins feature at 1024 pay ways is great, but here is only x2 multiplier. I think it could be set higher, it that way it could provide bigger winnings. I had only around x 40 bet from this feature and I expected much more from it.

The bonus game is interesting. You click on each album to reveal a combination of tattoos to win a prize. If all three tattoos complete a set, 10 free spins will be awarded. I tried also this bonus game and I have to say that I was surprised a little bit. I expected smaller prizes, but there were decent prizes. At the end I won around x 30 bet without any free spins awarded.

The base game is also interesting enough. This is because it offer also respin feature. You can respin any reel and if you are lucky enough you can trigger free spins feature or bonus game faster. I tried it in that way, when I received two scatters or bonus symbols I respin one reel which cost the less. And later it got the third symbol and feature start.

Otherwise I think this game is decent. It could provide some big winnings, but I don't think I will play it again. This is because I do not like so much design in this game and it is old. I will rate this video slot with 6 stars. I think free spins feature should be set better with multiplier.

This game has 1024 ways to win so it means that you only need adjacent symbols anywhere on the reels to land a win. This game has two main features the bonus round and the free spins. It is so funny that while I played this slot I have not managed to trigger the free spins I only got the bonus round on numerous occasions. In the bonus round you can win a lot.

During the Tattoo bonus you need to click on an album and you get 10 free spins if all the tattoos match. There are 3 books with tattoos and if you find the same tattoo in each book than you will get the free spins. That did not happen either. But I cannot complain about the other tattoos that I got.

There were arm, back and leg. I chose the legs first and I got a tribal tattoo which was worth 4500 coins. For the back I got a floral tattoo which was worth 5000 coins, for the arm I got western tattoo which was worth 2500. In total I got 260 euros. In the next bonus I got some different tattoos that paid much less so I end up with only 34 euros.

I have to say that I also got some decent wins during the base game too. I managed to land some 5 of a kind symbols. The most that I have got was 50 x my bet size. The game offers the re spin feature, but I have learned my lesson when it comes to this feature so I did not even touched it, I even forgot that it was there. This is one heck of a game and it is worth trying it.

Of course, this flexibility comes at a price and each reel is labelled with an individual price to respin at the end of every spin.

You can even use this feature when you have two scatters on the screen and would like another shot at hitting a third to trigger the bonus round. It's a fantastic innovation and it can be extremely addictive and tempting to simply spin each of the reels one at a time rather than firing a whole new spin, but when things don't go your way you can end up spending a great deal of your bankroll on fruitless respins.

This feature has attracted many advantage players over the years, not least because the high price of respinning a single reel when you already have a decent win on the screen makes for a very interesting way to complete a bonus wagering requirement - you know that the spin is going to pay you out something, so that high cost of respinning the final reel may result in a small loss, or a big win - perfect when you need to wager a lot of money with the minimum amount of risk. For this reason Hot Ink and its clones have been banned when a bonus is in play at many casinos, but where it is still available it's definitely worth considering provided you are sure the site where you are playing will not deem your play "irregular" and confiscate your winnings.

The respin feature makes this game a "must try" slot in my opinion and one that I think most players will keep coming back to from time to time. As far as I can tell the jackpot is quite low by Microgaming standards at around 1000x stake, but don't let that put you off!

But I do like to see them, not the normal simple ones though, but those beautiful colourful work of art. Those tattooists are real good artists, I can say that much, and I really wonder how they can keep calm when doing tattoos on women's bare bodies. I certainly can't! Hahaha.

This Hot Ink game is all about tattoos. See that guy in the game there? He's playing with the hot ink, probably waiting for a beautiful lady to come by and ask him to do a tattoo on her body. Hmm, must be a very nice thrilling job being a tattooist, don't you think so guys? Hehehe. Hmm, never mind. This game plays with 5 reels and 4 rows, with 1024 ways to win, and it's something that I don't really like. Not the 1024 winning ways, but the clustering of all those icons on the screen. Looks very crowded to me, and I don't like crowds either. The game also offers a 'Respin' feature for any individual reel to complete a missed winning combination. If you've played games like Wild Orient and Dragon Dance, then that 'respin' feature is the same for Hot Ink too. I don't really like that feature, it eats credits much more hungrily that it could give out wins, so to me, it's all a blardy waste of money.

'Hot Ink' is the Wild symbol, 5 of which pays 1000x the line bet, and does nothing else but only to substitute for other symbols, except for the Scatter symbol. It doesn't double any wins, it doesn't expand, nor does it come stacked. There are 2 types of Scatter symbols in the game. The Bird symbols pays 100x the total bet for 5 of them, getting 3 or more of these Bird Scatters award 20 free spins with all wins doubled, and more free spins can be retriggered too. The Tattoo Bonus symbols also pays 100x the total bet for 5 of them, getting 3 or more of these Tattoo Scatters award the 'Tattoo Bonus' feature game, whereby you click on each of the three albums to win cash prizes. Getting 3 matching symbols award 10 free spins with all wins doubled. Nah, I've never won this 10 free spins so far, only the regular 20 free spins, so I don't even know if those 10 free spins would play and pay as the regular 20 free spins would. The symbols in this game pays from 750x the line bet to 50x the line bet for 5 of each kind.

Without going into too much details, those 20 free spins can pay big but can pay very small too. I've had wins ranging from just 6x up to 67x my bet amount. The Tattoo Bonus games are more stable, with wins from 20x up to 36x my bet amount. The wins can be higher of course, but I haven't got any such huge wins so far, so I cannot say for certain how high the wins could go. Nonetheless, this Hot Ink is enjoyable to play and do give out decent payouts.

So if your not satisfied with the spin you made you can spin a separate reel. On my part I honestly believe re-spinning one reel would be grave because it would show me the cost of how much cash it would take to re-spin just that reel and the worst part is if it requires a very high amount of maybe 5x or 10x my bet and not complete a pattern, I will be at a significant loss every time! Hot Ink in my opinion is solely for the high rollers! I don't see myself winning well with Hot Ink even it it's under the 1024 way wins!

Now about the Piscean free spins when getting it on a re-spin could prove to be a waste of money. Some reels cost largely as opposed to the others probably because it may trigger the feature faster. I don't believe that is the case! If I manage to hit 20 free spins at 2x by landing 3 Piscean fishes symbols then the most I could expect ranges on an average of $13 - $25 on a $1 bet. That's if I can get lucky trying to land them on a single spin without the need of re-spinning each reel, otherwise the losses will come from the many re-spins it takes to trigger the free spins. Be very careful to consider what symbols are worth chasing as well as the cost of re-spinning each reel. Ask yourself the question: "Is it worth it?".

The tattoo bonus is also fun IF you can find them naturally on the reels. The rewards are fantastic and, excellent if the tattoos are all the same.....as a result prizes with 10 Free Spins! It would be tough to re-spin for them so I would advise not trying to.

Overall a fun slot recommended only for the players with guts and big wallets. A 6.7 out of 10!

It is triggered when three or more Tattoo Logo symbols appear anywhere on the reels.The player selects one of the three tattoo albums, which opens to reveal a combination of different types of tattoos. You can win bonus credits depending on the combination.if you manage to open three identical tattoos you will be awarded with 10 free spins at doubled payouts. The feature cannot be retriggered in the free spins. Three Fish symbols appearing anywhere on the reels trigger a free spins feature 20 free spins at double payouts.

Hot Ink has another interesting feature that you can not see very often. This is the re-spins feature and after every spin a respin value is displayed below each reel. Players can pay the amount below any one of the reels and have that reel spun again keeping all others fixed. The Re-Spins feature is available and after each respin, but it will be deactivated if you changed the size bet. This is very helpful when for example you have two fishes on the reels and you need another one to get the free spins. To be honest i didn't use this Re-Spins feature much, because i think that this is waste of money. But this is my opinion.

I almost forgot the Hot Ink Logo is a wild symbol.This is the ordinary wild symbol.It does not multiply payouts just replaced any other symbols in the game.

From experience i can tell you that this game pays very good.My biggest gain from this game was about 500$ with 1 $ a bet.

Sometimes when the game is crazy during the free spins you can get another 40 or 60 more. This has happened to me several times and from then are my bigger winnings.

It's also one of the 1024 ways to win games in Microgaming's portfolio, just like Leagues of Fortune for instance.

I've dealt with Hot Ink during a couple of sessions and unfortunately my results haven't been too great on this expensive game that applies a minimum bet of at least €0.50 per spin. Especially during the base game I really fail to see how it's possible to hit big. 5oak of the lower symbols never pay more than 5-7x bet size.

While the top paying symbols (Angel & Lucy) only guarantee a hit of 30x bet size. Only good thing is that Angel and Lucy do pay as well if you have them in succession, but pay slightly less than the usual combination. On the contrary of Leagues of Fortune, this game does not have stacked wilds.

It just contains only 1 wild per reel and therefore it's almost impossible to make that big hit during the base game. Even though the theme of this slot is great, and the same goes for the graphics. My biggest hit during base game is like 40x bet size.

I even found myself struggling to get decent wins during the free spins. The symbol of the two fishes is the scatter, and if you collect 3 or more you will receive 20 free spins and a 2x multiplier. Re-triggers are possible during the free spins. I once managed to do this and had 38 spins left. Guess what all these spins paid me? Well, only a lousy 10 bucks based on €1 bets.

On average the free spins pay 20-30x bet size I'd say based on several rounds. In addition there is also the tattoo bonus, when you collect 3 or more tattoo symbols. This bonus also offers you the chance to win free spins, albeit only 10, if the 3 designs match. Each design will reveal a prize.

Although I never won any free spins from this game, I must say I did have some decent wins here of up to 50x bet size. That's definitely not bad for a bonus game. Lastly the base game also offers a re-spin feature to spin a specific reel again at some cost. I never been a fan of this feature, since it hardly ever paid off for me so I don't add too much value to it.

My final rating for Hot Ink is 6.5/10.

??. At least speaking in terms of wins offered this is trueeven if when I played at „Avalon II“ I won from a single lucky spin over 1500 Euro. Here the wins are large, frequent and consistent. This is because after a full spin, each reel can be re-spun as many times as the player wants to obtain the desired winning combination. Of course each re-spin of a single reel costs, but in total if you get 3 „Tattoo bonus“ and enter the Bonus Game , the yield will exceed at least 2 times the losses from re-spins. At least this is how I have played this slot. Having at least one „Tattoo bonus“ on the screen I have done separate re-spins on one or two reels until I had 3 „Tattoo bonus“. It was just a matter of time and every time I have done this I won in the bonus game more (if after 10 individual re-spins I had not 3 „Tattoo Bonus“symbols I stopped and go ahead with the normal spins).

Otherwise the game also offers 20 Free Spins at 3 separate Scatters on the reels which will earn you handsome again. It is true that the pays are only given for 3 consecutive symbols, but with 1024 ways,these 3 symbols need to be present anywhere on adjacent lines. Plus that the Wild symbols here are very frequent. It does not deserveto pay for an individual reel re-spin to get an additional Wild!
Probably I also had some luck, but at least in what it concerns me, I am tempted to keep playing here also for real money. I'll be back in a day or two and if I continue to win the same way I will get a bonus offered by Microgaming casinos and will play certainly here for a good gain.

The game is a bit expensive and at times can hit your bankroll pretty bad. The stop button is there, but never brought me good luck. I could never get any of the features and end up with tiny wins. The pays are also a bit small and you end up with less than you expect. Over all a great game and i recommend to try. My rating 8 out of 10.

The base game payouts are very low, in fact only the five of a kind combinations will return any more than your stake in most situations. Wins are doubled during the free spins but without any stacked wilds it's difficult to win on a large number of paylines simultaneously on any single spin.
