Hobo's Hoard Slot Machines

Hobo's Hoard Slots

Another popular online slot machine is Hobo's Hoard, introduced by slot machine programmers at Rival Gaming in December of 2006. While it may not be nice to poke fun at hobos, and ignore the plight of the homeless in general, the theme is pervasive and entertaining. Who doesn't want to watch an animated hobo begging for change (which change, by the way, could earn you big bonuses) ? You can play this game at most Rival Gaming supported casinos, and can even try it out for free at almost all of them. Now, on to the game itself.

Hobo's Hoard Slots

Hobo's Hoard slot machines consist of 5-reesl / 15 pay lines with two bonus round features. This means there are five spinning reels from which to form your winning combinations. For every coin that you put in you enable another payline. Hobo's Hoard is a multiple line slot machine that can be played for $0.01 up to $0.25 per line bet, and players have the option of wagering up to 5 coins per payline. At these rates, the top maximum payout is 7,500 credits. Watch your pay schedule, though, because the second-best jackpot drops immediately to 2,500 credits.

Hobo's Hoard Scatter Symbols

Hobo's Hoard has two Scatter symbols and a Wild symbol. All winning combinations pay left to right, except for the Scatter symbols which pay on any of the five reels.

Hobo's Hoard Trash Can

The Trash Can is this particular game's wild symbol. Makes sense, as dumpsters are common places to find hoboes. The Trash Can symbol substitutes for other symbols to complete a winning combination. The Trash Can symbol does not substitute for the Spins Can scatter symbol or the People Bonus symbol to trigger the Bonus Round games. More on that further down.

Multiple Trash Can symbols on an enabled payline create a winning combination. Only one winning combination is paid out per payline. If there is more than one possible winning combination on a payline, you are paid out the value of the highest combination only. This is a standard feature on Rival Gaming slots, and is probably part of the reason that Rival Gaming doesn't rule the world of online gaming software development.

The Trash Can wild symbol will only substitute for winning combinations on an enabled Payline. Only one winning combination will be paid out per enabled payline. The Trash Can wild symbol will not substitute for Scatter symbols.

The Spinds Can and the People Bonus

Speaking of scatter symbols, they are represented by something called "The Spins Can" and "The People Bonus". The Scatter symbols will appear on all possible reels. If you have a Scatter win as well as a Regular win, you will be paid out for both wins.

Hobo's Hoard Spin Can Symbol

The Spins Can symbol is a Scatter symbol, which triggers the Free Spin Bonus Round Feature game. Three or more Spins Can symbols scattered on any of the five reels, including paylines that are not enabled, will trigger the 10 Free Spins Bonus Round games and a 3x Multiplier. The Trash Can wild symbol does not substitute for a Scatter symbol.

The coins that are won in the Free Spins Bonus game are related exclusively to the number of credits you had originally bet when the Free Spin Bonus Round game was triggered. Always bet maximums.

When the Spins Can bonus is triggered you will be awarded 10 Free Spins. The Free Spins will be worth the same value per spin as the original spin that triggered the Free Spin Bonus Round game. When the Bonus Round is over you will be returned to the main slot game.

Hobo's Hoard People Bonus

The People Bonus symbol really acts as a Scatter symbol. Three or more People Bonus symbols scattered on any of the five reels, including paylines that are not enabled, will trigger the Pick Your Person Bonus Round game. In the Pick Your Person Bonus Round you must choose the Person that you think will give the Hobo the most change. You will then be returned to the main slot game. Pick wisely!

The coins that are won in this Bonus Round game are related exclusively to the number of credits you had originally wagered when the Bonus Round was triggered. Just like most of Rival Gaming's bonus games.

Hobos Hoard Theme

The theme of Hobos Hoardis unique and fun, though I got tired of trying to pick out which random stranger was gonna hand over dough to the poor hobo. Perhaps if the top jackpot ran a little higher, this game would have a larger fan base.
