Goblin Hideout Slots
Picture this: you’re walking along, taking in the fresh air and stunning countryside, when out of nowhere you spot a goblin dashing into one of the nearby holes. Gripped by curiosity you decide to follow suit and see what they’re up to, convincing yourself they must be doing something uncalled for and wicked.
When you crawl down there and out the other side, though confined, you spot that you’re among a network of goblin hideouts, various different groups of the creatures conducting underworld business away from prying eyes. At this point you have to make a decision of whether you play their game and try and unlock their riches, or walk away and deal with having seen but not touched greatness.
From Inside
Goblins Hideout is a MultiSlot game that is made up of 3 rows, 5 reels and 25 paylines, each of its 11 symbols designed so that only goblin hands can work them properly. Fortunately you’ve found a way of bypassing this security, but to do so you’re going to need to place a small bet.
The starting point for all players is 0.05, which is taken and spread out across every one of the winlines you have active, giving you a total stake of 1.25; this can be increased up to an overall bet of 25 credits. Doing this is easy thanks to the handy plus and minus widgets attached to either side of the Coin Value display.
As for flicking through the winlines to determine which ones you want, if you’re not playing with them all, you have to click the numbers that surround the network of icons. In some slot machines they are used as decoration, helping you to see where the lines fall but then doing nothing else. But here they are the only way to tweak the winlines - if you want to play with just 10, select 10. If you end up decreasing the number you’re playing with, the lines not in use will become dark, indicating they’re not included in the game.
Then you have Autoplays, between 10 and 100 of them to be specific; select the number you want and the game will sort out the rest. Users can always stop at anytime and just as easily reset the automatic spins to try them out again, they’re just there if and when you need them.
Rat Catching
You may not have thought it, but goblins have general concerns just like the rest of us, even despite their transgressive nature. Their latest problem is with a rat infestation, which you’ll now have to help them with seeing as you had to go sticking your nose in where it didn’t belong.
To get the rats in prime position, you’ll need three or more of the bonus symbols. Upon completion you will need to click and match up the rats before you, the ones with identical matches will become ensnared and their totals added to your final win.
In addition to the rats, you have more pleasant experiences to look forward to, such as finding the scatter symbol and unlocking some free spins, or taking on the wild and winning up to 4,000 coins. Even the more basic of the icons have decent payouts at x200 for every five of the Q.
Just Hanging Out
MultiSlot has created a whimsical game in which to lose yourself, the goblins far from terrifying and made to intrigue as well as delight. The imagery employed has a very individual tone and aesthetic, making the game more recognisable to the brand.
And as for the rewards, they’re of a decent if not overwhelming amount, making the betting range you’re given more than reasonable. Goblins Hideout is a slot machine that you can play many times over, and each time you’ll get a different turnout.
