Due to its immense success Bally developed additional variations of the original game. Currently, there are 10! different Quick Hits available in brick and mortar casinos (as far as I know). Seven of them are available online: Quick Hit Pro, Quick Hit Black Gold, Quick Hit Las Vegas, Ultra Pays Sun Dragon, Cash Wheel and Quick Hit Platinum slot machines).

Bonus Features

Quick Hit Las Vegas

One of the main reasons to the popularity of Quick Hit slots series are its simplicity and the bonus features: the Free spins and specifically the Scatter multiplier. All 4 slots offer both of them, but with variations and with payouts.

Scatter Multiplier

This is The feature of Quick Hit slots and from where it draws its name. How it goes? If you get 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, you don’t just get the usual scatter pays as in most slots, but you can win up to x7,500 your total stake! As we said – Quick hits…

Scatter Multiplier appears on all version, but with different payout. Quick Hit Pro offers the lowest maximum payout of x1500. Quick Hit Platinum and Las Vegas go up to x2000, while the Black Gold skyrocket to x2500!

Besides the “regular” scatter multiplier, Quick Hit Platinum offers additional, Platinum multiplier, which can go up to x5000! We will give it +5 points for that. However in terms of scatter wins, its Black Gold which overshadows the other games: during the free spins, the scatter wins are getting additional multiplier of x3, which brings the maximum win to x7500 the total bet size. We will give it +7 points.

Quick Hit Slots Free Spins

To trigger the Free Spins you will need to get 3 or more “Free Games” or similar symbols anywhere on the reels. After the feature is triggered, you will need to select from 18/20 tiles, until you match 3 similar symbols, revealing the number of free spins won and the multiplier.

The minimum number of free spins in all version starts at 5 – 7, and goes up to 25. The multiplier varies from x1 and up to x3, except Quick Hit Pro. This one offers a unique version of free spins which are called Prochinko (combination of Pro + Pachinko). During the free spins, Pachinko pinball symbols which appear on the reels are accumulated and then trigger the Prochinko bonus. Each pinball can get you a multiplier of up to x5.

Quick Hit Pro

Overall, Quick Hit Pro and Black Gold offer more exiting free spins features, so we will give them +9 and +5 points respectively. You can see the exact details for each slot in the table below.

Quick Hit Slot Machine Odds

In general, the odds of these games are quite similar and it’s not probable that you will notice the difference. However, there is a big difference between Quick Hit slots online and there offline version. The online slots pay from 93.95% (Las Vegas) to 94.06% (Platinum). The new Ultra Pays Sun Dragon pays almost 96%, 95.97% to be exact.

Regarding the land slots, we can’t state the exact payout since it’s set according to the local gambling laws and varies from one jurisdiction to another. We can say that the highest return you can expect offline would be 92%. The average would be around 88%-90% and in some casinos it can go even lower.

That’s not really a surprise since it’s common for online slots to offer better odds, since the expenses of operating them are significantly lower. Personally, I had much more success playing Quick Hits online than in brick and mortar casinos, but maybe that’s just me.

Quick Hit Mobile Slots

Unfortunately, only one on Quick Hits is available online, that is Quick Hit Platinum. We hope it’s just a matter of time and that soon Bally will launch mobile versions for all the others.

You can play Platinum mobile on almost every mobile device: iPhone, Ipad, Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry.

To control the bet size you just need to use “-” and “+”arrows which lower and increase the bet per line. The minimum bet per line is 1 cent. The maximum bet per line varies from $/€ 10 to $/€ 15.

Readers ask if quick reflexes are the key to winning

By John Grochowski

I keep a list of questions that I’m most often asked about slot machines. You could probably tick off some of them: “Are games programmed to go cold after a big win?” “Do you get less payback when you use your rewards card?” And the big one, “Can you tell me how to win?”

Those have been standards ever since I started writing about casinos and casino games 20 years ago. But recently, another question has been shooting up the charts. I have it all the way up at No. 2 on the readers’ hit parade:

“I’ve noticed on a lot of video slot games that if I hit the button a second time while the reels are spinning, they stop right away. I was wondering if I could use this to my advantage. If I see the bonus triggers or the jackpot symbols at the top, should I quickly hit the button again and try to stop the reels?”

I had that thought myself the first time I accidentally double-hit a button and saw the reels click to an immediate halt. Could this be an answer to the chart-topping question, “how to win on the slots?”

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. In nearly all slot games that allow you to stop the reels, there is no skill or timing involved on your part. The random number generator has already determined your outcome when you hit the button to spin the reels, and you’re going to get the same result regardless of whether you stop the reels early, or let them halt in their own time.

When you play a slot machine, the game isn’t actually being played out on the reels, whether it uses “real” reels or video reels. It’s being played internally, on the game’s random number generator. The reels are just a player-friendly interface, and are told where to stop by the RNG. If there’s a malfunction and the reel display doesn’t match the numbers generated, it’s the RNG that counts. Large jackpots can be denied—and have been denied—if a check shows the random numbers on the internal computer chip don’t match the winning symbols on the reels.

But this is extremely rare. The engineering is good enough that almost all the time, the RNG and reel display are going to match up. This doesn’t change if you double-hit the bet button. If the RNG has spit out a random number that tells the first reel to stop on a single bar, then you’re going to get a single bar—regardless of whether you hit the button a second time for a “quick stop,” or just let them take their own sweet time.

There are rare exceptions. When I’ve answered similar questions in the past, I’ve mentioned IGT’s Reel Edge games. In their original incarnation, Reel Edge games enabled players to touch and stop the reels one at a time. There was actual skill involved. Your timing in stopping the reels determined the outcome. The reels spun very, very fast, so it was going take a keen eye and sharp reflexes to get better than random results, but it was possible.

I gave it a try, and found my reflexes just weren’t fast enough to generate more than my normal share of winners. In the original three-reel Blood Life game, I identified a green 7 as the easiest symbol to pick out as it whizzed by. I touched each reel individually as I saw a green 7 reach the top of the slot window, and managed to stop 7s on all three reels. Alas, I failed to land them all on the same payline. Some younger folks with quicker reactions may have been able to do better.

I don’t know if any of the first generation of Reel Edge games remain on casino floors. They were never widespread, and I don’t get lists from casinos or manufacturers telling me what games are available in any given casino. The new generation of Reel Edge puts the skill-based portions of the games in the bonus events.

Blood Life’s updated video incarnation, Blood Life Legends, allows you to test your skill with a joystick to guide a bat through the ups, downs, twists and turns of a cave as you try to collect gems for bonuses. There is actual skill involved, but it’s not the reel-stopping experience readers have been asking about.

On most slot games, even in the bonus events you’re getting an illusion of skill rather than actual skill. And when it comes to stopping the reels, it’s the random number generator, not your reflexes, that determines the results.

What about my readers’ other top questions?

To answer another—no, games are not programmed to go cold after big wins. Results remain as random as humans can program a computer to be. As long as the RNG keeps doing its thing, any big jackpot, any hot streak, and any cold streak eventually fade away into statistical insignificance, and the machine comes very close to its expected payback percentage.

No, you don’t get less payback when you use your rewards card. The player rewards system doesn’t interact with the RNG.

And no, with rare exceptions, there is no way to beat the slots except by being in the right place at the right time. There have been opportunities for small profit on games with banked bonuses such as the old WMS game Piggy Bankin’, where the sharpies would start to play only when there were enough coins in the bank to give the player an edge.

Such games are not common. Just as with stopping the reels early, your results are up to chance and the RNG.
