3 Lucky Hippos is a feature-packed game. In the base game, matching three to five symbols left-to-right delivers a payout, while four exciting special symbols in the base game can bring increased rewards.
The first feature is cash collection. Cash symbols can land on any of the reels in the base game. The collect symbol is a cute frog; when he lands on reel five, he will collect all the cash prizes. In addition to this, the orange hippo’s multiplier will be applied to the cash prize. The multiplier can range from 1x - 10x.
Another excellent feature is the split symbol. You’ll notice a separate reel at the top of the main reels when you play the game. This reel has five spaces and spins horizontally. Two symbols can appear on this reel: the split symbol and the lotus symbol.
The split symbol has values of four, five or six. When it lands above a reel, it will split the reel into the same number of spaces. For example, if a six-split lands, the reel below will split into six spaces. This changes the ways from 243 ways up to 7776 ways.
The lotus can also land on the top reel. Collecting five lotus symbols on the top reel will trigger all three LocknWin features simultaneously.
The high- and mid-range symbols are the pink safe, gold bars, a sack of money, casino chips, and a pair of dice. The low-paying symbols are the royals, including the 10. The game pays out for at least three of a kind on any payline. This is the paytable for a wager of £1.00 in 3 Lucky Hippos:
Symbol | Match 3 | Match 4 | Match 5 |
10, J, Q | £0.20 | £0.40 | £0.60 |
A, J | £0.20 | £0.60 | £1.00 |
Dice | £1.00 | £1.40 | £2.00 |
Casino chips | £1.00 | £1.60 | £2.40 |
Money bag | £1.00 | £2.00 | £3.00 |
Gold bars | £1.20 | £2.40 | £4.00 |
Pink safe | £1.40 | £3.00 | £5.00 |
The lucky hippos bring three rewarding features: Multiply LocknWin, Jackpot LocknWin, and Supreme LocknWin, as introduced below:
The orange hippo is the key to success in this feature. Every time an orange coin lands in the base game, the orange hippo collects it. The orange hippo multiplier increases by 1x for every coin collected. The multiplier can reach a maximum of 10x.
When it collects orange coins, the orange hippo grows larger and larger. Eventually, it becomes so large that it bursts, triggering the Multiply LocknWin feature.
If any cash symbols are on the reels when the feature triggers, they will remain locked in place during the Multiply LocknWin round. During the round, all other symbols are removed.
You are awarded three re-spins at the start of the round. Every time a cash symbol lands, the re-spins counter will reset to three.
The round ends when all the spaces are filled or the re-spins are completed. When it ends, all the cash values are collected and multiplied by the multiplier from the base game.
In this feature, you can win one of the five fixed jackpots. The yellow hippo will unlock this feature when it bursts. The hippo collects yellow coins in the base game.
The cash symbols from the base game will stay locked into place on the reels, and the other symbols will be removed. Only cash symbols and different coloured coin symbols can land during the feature. The coloured coin symbols correspond to each jackpot, and you need to collect a different number of symbols to win each jackpot.
Here’s a summary of the jackpots, the number of coins required to win them and the prizes:
Jackpots | Coin colour | Number of coins | Prize |
Micro | orange | 2 | 10x |
Mini | blue | 3 | 20x |
Minor | green | 4 | 100x |
Major | red | 5 | 500x |
Mega | pink | 6 | 5,000x |
The Supreme LocknWin feature is triggered when the pink hippo bursts. In the base game, the pink hippo collects pink coins.
This feature has three different-coloured cash symbols: green, orange, and purple. The orange cash symbols collect the green cash symbols, and the purple cash symbols collect the green and orange cash symbols.
