There sure are a multitude of multiline slots. What a Hoot is a fun one to check out. The graphics depict a bunch of party Owls entertaining the forest with fruits, nuts, berries and noisemakers.
What a Hoot is a 5 reel, 9 payline video slot game from Microgaming. At the casino where we played, the coin size is variable from .01 to $2 and the max we could bet was one coin per line. As with many video slots, all wins are read from left to right except the scatter wins which can be anywhere on the reels. Only the highest combination is paid in each winning payline.
 What a Hoot has a wild symbol of a tree filled with the peering eyes of owls. It is wild for all other symbols in the game with the exception of hte scatter symbol. That scatter symbol is a jar of lightning bugs--that are just escaping back into the dark. Wins are calculated by multiplying the number on the payout schedule by the total number of credits bet. If for instance you have one credit per line bet on all nine lines and you turn up four scatter symbols anywhere on the screen. Your win will be 10 times 9 credits. Scatter wins are added to the regular payline wins.
The forest theme is enhanced by night-in-the-woods sounds of crickets and tree frogs. There are no bonus features or multipliers, but the name of the game fits it perfectly… it's a hoot.
Vinyl Countdown
This multiline slot has the theme of an old time 50's jukebox/drive in. The bright colors are fun, the greasers and bobysoxers are hanging out, enjoying fries and shakes. The symbols are fun to watch spin and even more fun to watch when they line up in winning combinations. One odd things is… the scatter symbol is a disco ball, and unless I have my pop history wrong, that is a couple of decades out of place. The scatter wins are added to your payline wins. Scatter wins are multiplied by the total number of coins you have staked on the spin.
Vinyl Countdown is a five reel, 9 payline video slot game from Microgaming. Where we played, the coin size is variable from .01 to $2 and the maximum number of coins is one per line. When five vinyl countdown symbols appear on one line, you'll have the maximum payout of 1,000 coins.
 The wild symbol is a jukebox. It is wild for all but the scatter symbol. The highest win only on each payline is paid. Wins are paid from left to right only, except for the scatter wins, which pay no matter where they appear on the screen. Paying from left to right means that the first symbol in the winning combination must appear in the left most reel. There is no bonus feature to this game.
With fifteen paylines, Vinyl countdown is somewhere in the middle of the number of lines you can find. Of course, as time goes on, the slots are developed with more and more paylines. Still, fifteen paylines can be difficult to keep track of. You'll find a screen devoted to the winning combinations and symbols on the payout schedule. You can get to this screen by clicking on the View Payout button. The simple payout schedule makes this a game that doesn't overwhelm… it's just a Friday night at the Hop.
