In Hotline 2™, the action heats up with the Hotline feature—a dynamic bonus bet system that boosts your chances of landing Expanding Wilds, both in the main game and during Free Spins. The game revolves around Hotlines, which are specific reels that become charged with extra Wild potential. You control how many Hotlines are active based on your bet level: - At the Base Bet, only reel 3 is a Hotline. - Choose the Double Bet, and reels 3 and 4 become Hotlines—doubling your stake but also doubling your chances. - Opt for the Triple Bet, and reels 2, 3, and 4 light up as Hotlines, with your bet tripled in return for maximum Wild potential. When a Wild symbol lands on an active Hotline, it expands to fill the entire reel, dramatically increasing your chances of scoring a big win. Wilds appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 and substitute for all symbols except Scatters.

Land 3 Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, and you’ll trigger 7 Free Spins. During Free Spins, the energy ramps up with expanding reels: every time a Wild lands on a reel, that reel’s height increases by one symbol, up to a maximum of 6 rows. This feature transforms the game from its standard 243 bet ways to a staggering 1944 ways to win. And there's more—each time a reel reaches its maximum height, you're rewarded with extra Free Spins, keeping the momentum going.

Can’t wait for Free Spins? You can trigger them at any time using the Buy Feature. You choose whether to activate Free Spins with 1, 2, or 3 Hotlines, and the cost adjusts accordingly—set at 60x the bet for the current configuration.
