HipHopOpotamus

HipHopOpotamus is the poshest Hip Hop Hippo on the block. His fictional fame and fortune has led to him becoming the inspiration behind one of the latest pub video slots from Microgaming. The slot features one payline, over ten different bonus functions and the chance to win a jackpot 500x your stake.

HipHopOpotamus Slot Theme

Everything but the bonus round can be found on the first screen. The reels take up prime location in the centre with nudges on the left and the paytable on the right. The paytable shows each of the comically themed icons and their respective payouts.

The digital ticker above the reels showcases important information such as nudges, bonus features and winnings. It also shows various comical messages as the reels spin such as Ya big dog, and they’re off, come in spinner, spinning top and many more.

Each time a nudge feature is awarded the Hip Hop Hippo says one of several cheesy catchphrases such as fresh, representing or gangster. He also says things during the bonus game in a posh voice such as “I’m from the Bronx, that’s right the Bronx”. These sayings, the music and accompanying sound effects make it a very entertaining pub slots which make others look rather bland and plain.

Betting Options and More Functions

Players can choose from a number of coin denominations ranging from 0.10 to $/£/€10 per spin.

There aren’t any automatic spin options due to the fact that there are so many features. You are often required to action after most spins which mean automatic spins would have been a pointless addition anyway.

Our Take on HipHopOpotamus

The theme is a little kooky, which makes is more fun that other traditional slots. When combined with the mountainous number of features, betting options and prizes it’s easy to recommend HipHopOpotamus as a fantastic all round pub slot.
