Red Lights

Sex sells, and it is no wonder that the concept has made its way into the world of online slots as well. In fact, it’s quite surprising that there are only a handful of slots where the theme is explored further. Mostly you just have a few suggestive ladies(and why is that there are rarely any scantily clad men in these games). Here then is a slot that explores the concept in its full might. Is this Tom Horn(y) slot worth playing?

Theme

Something along the line of Amsterdam’s Red Light district seems to be the source of inspiration here. No surprise there given that the city is quite often the location for casino and gaming expos. I do wonder if they did field research? The music is soft techno, with the background being some seedy street. The main symbols are some barely clothed women, animated for extra effect. For what it is the theme is well put together.

Betting Options and Functions

Apart from the theme, the game comes with your usual characteristics of a basic slot. There are five reels, each with three symbol positions. These have nine paylines running through them, with wins calculated left to right during basic gameplay. The bet is set as total stake, with the possibilities ranging between 0.18 and 90 coins per spin.

The playing cards feature as the low-payout symbols. These give a return between five and 100 times your line bet. The three diamonds are of mid-value, dishing out wins between 25 and 400 times your line bet. Two dancing girls, or hookers, are wilds and also trigger the free spins.

Features

If one of the girls shows up on the first reel you get 5 free spins with all wins doubled. If the second hooker joins the fray on the 5th reel you get the same 5 free spins, all wins quadrupled. The girls also feature in the gamble feature. Here is also the one true innovation: if you manage to guess correctly three times you cannot guess wrong on the fourth. Of course, getting the right girl three times in a row is difficult in itself.

There is also a mystery feature that activates completely at random. Three symbols appear in the middle of the screen and pay out a random win up to fifty times your stake.

Our Take

I am not all that excited about the theme. It feels a bit cheap to sell gambling with sex. Not that this would be the only slot to do so: Playboy Gold is perhaps the most known featuring similar theme. Then, of course, there are hundreds and hundreds of slots with some added sexiness. It has never held an appeal for me, but this game certainly does offer some good payouts, nice features, and graphics and animations that are top-notch. Try for free first, to see if fits your taste!
