2021 Hit Slot Slot – Free Demo
Provider:
Endorphina
Three reels, five fixed lines and nine symbols is the whole of 2021 Hit Slot, so Endorphina's 96.02% is doing the work on its own. There is no wild, no scatter and no bonus round, only a card gamble that runs at 84% of its own. Across 250 spins at 2.50 I got 63% of it back.

Five fixed lines and a nine-symbol paytable
2021 Hit Slot arrives with no bonus game and no random features, and it holds a configuration of 3 reels, 3 rows and 5 fixed pay lines. Symbols have to land on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost one, and wins on different lines are added together. This Endorphina slot takes bets from 0.05 up to 200 credits per spin. The 96.02% RTP is roughly what I typically see in Endorphina slots.
Where the seven sits in the paytable
The highest symbol on the reels is the seven. Three of them on one line pay 60 times the total bet, and a full grid pays all five lines at once. A complete screen of them awards 300 times the total bet. The frame I kept from the session is a smaller version of the same idea: three cherries on line 3 for 20.00 at a 2.50 bet, eight times the stake, with the balance at 9,962.50. There is no wild symbol and no scatter, and that means the payouts in the main game are small.
The Risk Game and its 84%
The sole feature on offer is the Risk Game. Four cards are dealt face down and you pick one against the Dealer's, with a card of matching value counting as a draw that leaves the win alone and allows another go. It is an optional double-or-nothing card gamble you can take on a win, up to 10 attempts, where the Joker beats everything, and it sits outside the stated RTP. What the round is worth depends on the Dealer's card: 100% against a 6, 7 or 8, and 42% against an Ace. It returns an average of 84% per round, so it is no way out of the maths.
250 spins at a 2.50 stake
I ran 250 spins through it at a 2.50 stake. That put 625.00 through the game and brought back 394.00, finishing at 9,769.00. I left with 63% of the money back, 87 spins paid, and 62 of those paid less than the stake. The longest run without a win was 9 spins, ending on spin 39. The best hit of the session was 33 times the stake on spin 30. That was also the only point the balance rested above where it began. Below it came 19 times the stake on spin 54, 17 times on spin 128 and 14 times on spin 227.
Minty’s Expert Conclusion: 250 spins returned 63% of what I put through, and on five fixed lines with no wild and no scatter the 96.02% is the whole of the design — the Risk Game is a separate 84% wager, not a correction to it. 2020 Hit Slot and Chance Machine 20 give the studio's classic reels far more lines to work with; this one keeps five.
What the session was worth
This is a low volatility, low potential slot. The 250 spins ended 231.00 below the 10,000.00 I started with. Mathematically, this is a waste of time. The largest single spin I saw was worth 82.50. Even the promise of a 300 times the stake screen of sevens cannot make up for that.
