What a Hoot! A silly name for a slots game? But it works. As soon as you enter the game you laugh out loud, or hoot. The comedy graphics, based on the wise old owl theme, are superb.
What a Hoot, by Microgaming, is a 5 reel 9 payline slot with 38 winning combinations and a top jackpot of 5000 coins. You can bet in coin denominations of $0.25 to $5.
It has a wild symbol and a scatter symbol but not much else; no multiplier symbol, no bonus games, no free spins. However, even without these gimmicks, What a Hoot is compelling enough with its frequently occurring winning combinations.
The Tree is the wild symbol in What a Hoot. It can substitute for any other symbol, except the scatter symbol, to complete winning combinations. It appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4. Line up three of these on an enabled payline and you can win the top jackpot of 5000 coins.
The Jar is the scatter symbol, meaning it needn’t line up on an enabled payline to win. You win if three of these symbols appear anywhere on any payline. Winnings are calculated by multiplying the Jar symbol payout, as shown in the payout schedule, by your bet.
If you have a regular win as well as a scatter win, you are paid out for both. So with all these features, isn’t it time to have a hoot?
