Hootie's Fortune

Hootie's Fortune review

Hootie's Fortune is the slot High 5 Games celebrated as its 500th release, starring Hootie, a top-hatted owl who leads you through a cartoon forest. It plays on 5 reels and 3 rows with 20 paylines, has a 96% RTP and medium volatility, and can pay up to 6,240x the total bet. The real-money version went live on 31 March 2022. The game is built around three multiplier meters that grow during the base game and golden eggs that push them higher before the free games begin, so every spin feeds the bonus round. The demo on this page lets you follow the meters with virtual credits before you decide whether to play for real money. Demo winnings are not real money.

• Golden eggs: every egg collected in the base game raises one of the three meters at random for the next free games.
• Free Games: 3, 4 or 5 scatters award 7, 12 or 20 free games. All three meters start at 2x, and the eggs you collected add to them before the first free spin.
• Jackpot symbol: a winning line with the jackpot symbol is multiplied by the sum of all multipliers, so it pays most when the meters are high.

Hootie's Fortune suits players who like slots where progress carries over: the meters and eggs you build in the base game decide how strong the free games will be. Medium volatility keeps the pace steadier than in most bonus-driven slots, while the 6,240x ceiling still leaves room for a big round when the jackpot symbol lands with high meters. Start with the demo to see how quickly the meters grow, and set a budget before playing for real money.
