Theme, Graphics & Design

Music is a big part of any road trip and Hit the Route features a stunning fully-customisable soundtrack. This slot is an experience just as much as it is a game. Players will find the option to switch radio stations on the lefthand side of the grid. You can choose between three soundtracks: rock, country and relax.

Each one is quality. Even as the genre changes, the music never loses sight of the freedom and thrill of cruising an American highway. Car themed slots don’t always excel musically but Hit the Route might just have one of the best soundtracks we’ve ever heard.

It needs a setting to match, of course. A long highway stretches away towards the horizon as the sun sets and dusk falls. Quintessential rock formations and desert suggest that the setting is the Mid West, perhaps even Nevada. The evening light is truly beautiful and the open highway has an undeniable allure.

Hit The Route RTP and Variance

Hit the Route has a fantastic RTP rating of 97% and it’s medium volatility. Although Hit the Route has a top prize of x15,000, that will likely be a tall order for most.

How to Play Hit the Route

Our directions will get you on the right track:

1. Hover your cursor over i and then select the bag of money. This launches a menu that contains the paytable along with information on the wilds and free spins.
2. Again hovering over i, look for the question mark. Give it a tap and have a quick read through the rules.
3. Use the cog button to adjust game settings. In the subsequent menu, you can enable quick spin, change the sound levels and even set the spacebar to spin.
4. Bet controls consist of two arrows and your stake. Simply tap the arrows to raise/lower the value of your bet.
5. Autoplay isn’t a mandatory part of the Hit the Route experience, but you can enable it by pressing A and then selecting how many spins you would like to play through.
6. Setting a budget is important because it helps to keep gaming under control.
7. Take to the road by pressing spin! 

Please remember to always play responsibly. Stick to a budget and when the fun stops, stop.

Bet & Win Sizes

Hit the Route’s bet range is quite modest. Players can stake between 0.40 and 40. The maximum single line payout is much more generous at x1000, but landing x5 wilds won’t be easy. 

Here’s a list of the other top paying combinations.

Five eagle wilds = x 1000

Five mystery wilds = x 1000

Five cars = x 400

Five radios = x 400

Five Route 66 signs = x 250

Five motel signs = x 250

Five As = x 150

Five Ks = x 150

Five Qs = x 100

Five Js = x 100

Five 10s = x 100

Five 9s = x 100

40 paylines is a rare sight indeed, but these can’t be adjusted. 

Hit the Route Bonus Features

With its adventurous vibe and highway swagger, Hit the Route goes big with bonus features.

Stacked Wilds

A simple but (hopefully) lucrative feature, eagle wilds can stack on any spin. When they do a whole reel will be covered, which is always a welcome sight!

Mystery Wilds

The flaming red tire mystery wilds blaze onto the reels promising respins. If you land 5 they’ll lock in place and the rest of the grid will respin around them. Land another wild on the spin to gain another respin.

Free Spins

There are only 5 free spins up for grabs (for landing 3 girl bonus symbols on the second, third or fourth reels), but the rounds do come with some additional bonuses. Bonus symbols transform into wilds and all wilds remain sticky for the duration.

Hit the Route Review - Final Thoughts

Hit the Route is a beautiful looking, beautiful sounding online slot, and few players will be able to deny the allure of the open road. It has one of the best soundtracks in the business and it’s the only slot we’ve played that allows users to choose their preferred music.

Gameplay lives up to the high potential of the setting. Wilds make every round feel uniquely high octane. You never know whether you’re going to land stacked wilds, sticky wilds or even mystery wilds. Hit the Route captures all the excitement and mystery of a road trip.

In this context, it feels almost petty to complain about the small free spins total or low maximum bet. We recommend that players sit back, turn the radio up and soak up the highway.

Intrepid road trippers should make the Route 777 slot demo their next stop.
