Hooligan Hustle Slot Game

Choosing hooliganism as the theme of a slot may be an unusual or even controversial move. However, the Swedish developer has successfully tapped into this subculture, mixing sports and stereotypical characters. Hooligan Hustle will see two groups of lads square off on the screen, shouting and releasing their testosterone all over the reels.

Rowdy behaviour is not a theme we often encounter in slot games. It wasn’t easy to use something associated with violence and make it seem user-friendly. The release could have raised an eyebrow or two hadn’t it been for its cartoonish design. Visuals are stunning, beautifully designed and with crisp animations. A hard-rock tune is playing in the background, serving as the perfect soundtrack for the testosterone-filled title.

Let’s move on to the paytable. Players will find items like Bricks, Beer Glasses, Knuckle Dusters, Batons and Crowbars at its bottom. The premium ones include four tough guys, ready for a brawl and delivering more substantial payouts. The Traffic Cones randomly appear as Wild, replacing all regular symbols. But that’s not all, as Scatters, Mystery symbols, and Split symbols will also land across the reels. All of them are well-executed and match the slot’s theme.

This hooligan face-off takes place on a standard reel set, often present in Ladbrokes games. There are no paylines, with the game using the win ways system. Hooligan Hustle initially offers 243 different ways to win, but that number can go up to 248,832! Three or more matching symbols deliver cash prizes. To claim one of them, just land them on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost one. Wild and Scatters also pay.

Before the game starts, it’s crucial to choose a bet that will suit the player’s budget. The good news is that wagering options are wide. The lowest available stake needed to get the reels moving is £0.10. On the other hand, it’s possible to spend up to £100 on every spin. The bad news is the game’s highly volatile nature, so we suggest treading carefully.

Although the base game can provide a certain level of excitement, it’s the features that spice things up. The Free Spins round is particularly challenging as it allows slot lovers to choose their fate. Here’s what’s on offer.

Watch out for wooden crates with a question mark on them. These are Mystery symbols, and every time they appear, they’ll turn into any icons except the Scatter.

All instances of a symbol can randomly split on any spin. This applies to all icons bar the Scatter. That shouldn't be a problem, as splitting may increase the number of ways to win up to a staggering 248,832.

The Rumble Row trackers are located above the grid, containing five positions. Rumble Row triggers at random during the base game, awarding modifiers to a corresponding reel.

The following modifiers are on offer:

• Wild Reel - covers an entire reel with Stacked Wilds.
• Double Trouble - synchronises two reels, with the same symbol type appearing on each.
• 2x Multiplier- all wins are subject to a 2x Multiplier.

Get at least three Scatters to activate the slot’s Free Spins bonus. After that, it’s up to the players to choose from the three available options:

• Lairy! - awards ten spins and activates at least two Rumble Row modifiers.
• Riot! - players receive five spins with three or more Rumble Row modifiers.
• Anarchy! - one spin is played, while at least four Rumble Modifiers are active.

Hooligan Hustle is an excellent release with a five-reel layout and up to 248,832 ways to win. The unusual theme is packed with action and guarantees lots of thrills. High volatility may not suit everyone, although we’re sure the prizes will appeal to all types of players. Mystery symbols and Split symbols further add to the excitement, as does the Rumble Row tracker. But it’s the Free Spins bonus that takes things to a whole new level. Payouts go up to 10,000x the stake! Play Hooligan Hustle at Ladbrokes and get ready to rule the streets!
