Hexbreaker 2: A Freaky Online Pokie

Halloween might be over, but the freak inside can still come out with the latest release from IGT, namely Hexbreaker 2. Even though it’s the sequel to Hexbreaker, the developer incorporated the dynamics that made Fire Opals so popular. This online pokie is by far one of the creepiest out there and it’s sure to build a certain kind of following. If you don’t like happy faces and lucky symbols then this is the game for you. Let’s dig a little deeper through this pokie review shall we?

Hexbreaker 2 Review

From the get-go players will notice two strange things. Firstly, the shape of the reels, which is a diamond form. Secondly, all the symbols are things that represent bad luck. Given, these symbols aren’t exactly what players want to see, especially when they are playing for money, but there is a nice little twist that will be revealed later in the review. Basically, players have to ready themselves for a creepy experience which is accompanied by creepy music.

On the technical side, this is a 5 reel pokie and there are 720 winning combinations. But there is a difference and it comes in the form of variable rows along with IGT’s Multiway Xtra payline structure. This means that it doesn’t matter which side the matching symbols start, just as long as there are matching symbols. The betting range will appeal to high rollers and modest players alike, seeing as it starts at $1 and can go up to $50. However, the system can be adjusted to take higher bets.

As for the symbols, the wild is simply a big “WILD”, the scatter symbol is represented by the Jinx and the bonus symbol is the Horseshoe. This is also where things start to get interesting, because once you can land 5 of the horseshoe symbols you’ll unlock 10 free spins. Now, the symbols will change into lucky ones, such as a white cat, a four leave clover and even a ladybird.

It should be noted that the payout is a little less with the new symbols, but if you manage to get another 5 consecutive horseshoes and break the hex again, you’ll get more free spins. In fact, you can get up to 260 if you are really lucky.

Unfortunately there aren’t many more features other than the “both ways to win” and the free spins that can easily be triggered, but the previous version has gained a reputation for being lucky. Despite the lack of features this is one of the more pleasant online pokies to play thanks to the balance. The RTP percentage ranges between 92 and 96 percent.
