Pre-Game Quick Hit Slot Machine Tips

There are close to a dozen different Quick Hit slot games, all with their subtle variations in graphics, sound and mechanics. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense to go through the rules of the different games before your first spin. Study the pay table, the winning combinations and the progressive jackpot requirements. This will help you decipher whether it makes sense to always play on max bet or not.

Once you know what to expect, the next question to ask is what the size of your bet should be. Although it started in land-based casinos as a 3 reels by 3 rows game, the bulk of the variants available in online casinos today have 5 reels and 3 rows. However, in some variants, the rows extend to up to 6 during bonus games. In most Quick Hit versions, the payback percentage or return to player is between 94% to 94.45%. Below are other features of interest that you will find in the game:

Features	Availability
Free Spins	Yes
Bonus Round	Yes (three «Free Bonus Game» symbols)
Wilds	Yes
Scatter	Yes («Quick Hit» symbols)
Jackpot	Yes (landing 5 or more Quick Hit icons)
Multiplier	Yes, in those with gambling round
Autoplay	Yes
Paylines	30

We mentioned earlier that there are different versions of Quick Hit, right? Let us point out some of these differences. Firstly, the scatter is usually a symbol that is the name of the game. For example, in Quick Hit Platinum (one of the most popular versions of this machine) the scatter is a symbol named Quick Hit Platinum.

More About Quick Hit Slot Machine Strategy

There are different ways to win in Quick Hit. And as the name suggests, the big wins come quickly. Like every other slot out there, it has two different kinds of symbols; the regular and the specials. One feature of this game is that they all incorporate the traditional gambling game icons including 7s, bells, cherries and bars. The 7s are usually the higher denomination icons.

To win, you need to match at least 3 of the same symbols across three successive reels, starting from reel 1 (from left to right). The wins grow as you match more numbers of symbols. The highest payout from the regular icons is obtained when you land 5 of the same kind on the payline. Some machines make things more interesting by allowing players to win when they match certain symbols diagonally.

The other way to win is by landing a certain number of special symbols to unlock the bonus game. In this special round—often played in a new environment—punters get the chance to spin the reels for free for a chance to win real money. And this is where having slot tips is helpful.

During bonus rounds, you will spin the reels for the number of times determined during a gambling phase or depending on the number of symbols that triggered the round. What is more interesting is that this stage plays out based on your presets. Therefore, if you have been playing on maximum bet, you can end up with massive wins at the end of the round compared to punters playing on the minimum bet.

In some versions of this slot, you’ll partake in the jackpot when you land five of the possible 9 Quick Hits symbols anywhere on the reels in a single spin. In these versions, a premium is added to your win when you play on max bet.

Final Spin and Bonus Round Tactics

The most valuable Quick Hit slot tips and tricks happen during the bonus rounds. Using Quick Hit Platinum as an example, this special segment begins when you land 3 or more «Free Bonus Games». In Platinum, a new window will open afterward with 20 boxes with question marks.

Each of the boxes contains a certain number of free games and a multiplier, and you will get three picks. You will be in serious business if you pick the box with 20 free spins with a multiplier of x3. Interestingly, the round can be retriggered if you land 3 more Free Bonus Games icons during the free spins. There is a euphoria that comes with this section of the game because it is akin to playing slot for free and getting paid real money.

While looking out for the Free Bonus Games icon, also watch out for the scatter, which in our reference slot is the «Quick Hit Platinum» symbol. Get five of those on any position on the reels and you are guaranteed a win that is 5,000x your wager—a pretty good bargain if you ask us. If you play at the maximum bet, you will win a whopping $750,000. It’s probably easier to get burning sunlight in the winter than to hit that magic number on your machine.

One important fact that we learned from these series of slots created by Bally Technologies is that the longer you spend on the machine and the bigger the size of your wager, the better your odds of not walking away with a bankroll smaller than what you started with.
