Theme and Graphics

You could argue that the game looks dated or instead that it’s a brilliantly retro-looking game; it's just a matter of opinion of course, but at Slots Temple we simply love the unashamed stripped-back style. The reels themselves are found on the ocean bed, backed by marine plants and animated fish that can be seen swimming in and out of the tall green plants. Above the reels is a static paytable, just like you see on all the best vintage video slot games. The reels themselves are filled with classic symbols, including a Bar and Lucky 7 as well as a fly fish, in line with the game's theme. This fishy slot game is complemented by a cheery soundtrack and fun sound FX.

On the Hook RTP and Variance 

RTP: 97.05%

Volatility: High
 
The game has a generous RTP of 97.05%, which is well above the industry average. Remember that an RTP (return to player) is not a guaranteed return but the average amount the game pays out over time. Couple this high return to player with the game’s high volatility and you’ll see why the game is just so popular with high rollers. 

How to Play On the Hook

1. Locate the wager function to the left of the reels. Use the plus and minus buttons to select a total wager of between 0.30 and 90.00 for a bet per line of between 0.02 and 6.00.

On the Hook Bonus Features 

Free Spins and Bonus Reel Game

Land three Bonus Fly Fish symbols to start the free spins feature. During this feature players are awarded ten free spins. The fly fish will randomly appear on any symbol, and each time three appear in the reels the Bonus Reel feature game will trigger. In this game a hook is dropped and all eight fish try to catch the bait. Each fish has a cash win amount (see above), and these amounts will be collected and added to your total free spins win and paid out at the end of the feature.

Overall On the Hook Review

This delightfully simple slot game appeals to beginners thanks to its simple format but also to connoisseurs thanks to its high volatility and decent RTP. The game’s highlight is the free spins feature, which opens up the chance of entering the bonus reel game. As well as the free spins and bonus reel game, we love the game's simplicity, the fact it doesn't take itself too seriously and its pretty generous top wins.
