Squid Slot Slot Review

Squid Slot - Review

Squid Slot is a 3 reel video slot from NetGame built around mysterious masked men and a money theme. The action plays out on a small 3x3 grid with 5 fixed paylines, with a field, a man and a house sitting behind the reels. The atmosphere is clearly inspired by a popular South Korean survival thriller, and I felt that tension from the first spin, especially once the Hold 'N' Link bonus and multipliers started to show.

For me Squid Slot feels like a classic three reel machine that has been pushed into a more modern direction with jackpots, respins and feature screens. It keeps spins compact yet high risk, so sessions can swing hard in both directions. The slot runs on JS and HTML5 and is available on desktop, smartphones and tablets, so I could play the same volatile set up on my phone without any loss of quality.

Squid Slot Attributes and Symbols

Squid Slot was released in December 2021 as a high variance video slot with a hit frequency of 9.47 and a bonus feature rate of roughly one in 148 spins. The layout is 3 3 with 5 betways, and stakes run from 0.05 up to 50 per spin. There are eight main symbols on the reels, enhanced by bonus and scatter icons that power the Hold 'N' Link feature, free spins and other paytable outcomes.

Hold 'N' Link and Bonus Features in Squid Slot

Hold 'N' Link sits at the heart of Squid Slot and gives the game its main money game punch. As in other NetGame titles using this mechanic, you trigger the feature by landing enough bonus symbols in view to launch a respin cycle. You start with a limited number of respins, and each new cash symbol that lands locks in place, resets the counter and can carry jackpot or multiplier values straight from the feature screen.

Free spins in Squid Slot work alongside the Hold 'N' Link mode, so the slot never feels stuck with a single style of bonus. Scatter symbols on the 3x3 grid can award a batch of free games, where the base symbols keep their roles but balance growth comes from repeated hits rather than one giant screen. During my sessions I liked how respins, free games and standard line wins flowed into each other.

On top of that, Squid Slot adds a separate Multiplier feature and three fixed jackpots that can reach up to 456 times your bet, which you can see highlighted on the jackpots screen. When a cash sphere lands with a multiplier attached, or when a jackpot symbol fills a position during Hold 'N' Link, the board suddenly feels alive, and those high variance swings NetGame is known for hit your balance very quickly.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Squid Slot

Official figures for Squid Slot put the theoretical return to player in the mid ninety five range. The main stats sheet lists 95.84 percent overall, while the main game RTP is quoted as 96.03 percent, so it sits just under the classic ninety six line most players look for. Variance is classed as high, and the 9.47 hit rate with a bonus trigger around every 148 spins backs up that reputation at the reels.

Squid Slot accepts bets from 0.05 to 50 in your chosen currency, so both small stakes and mid range players can get involved. The headline max win is 5,000 times the bet, which comes from the full math model rather than just the fixed jackpots that peak at 456 times. In practice I treat it as a sharp, swingy slot where you need a session budget that can handle long dry spells.

Is Squid Slot Worth Playing

As an experienced slots player I rate Squid Slot as a good pick if you like compact layouts, high volatility and Hold 'N' Link gameplay built around cash symbols. The yellow toned presentation and masked characters give it a strong identity without overcomplicating the 3 reel format. It will not suit bonus hunters chasing constant features, but if you enjoy tense sessions with real jackpot potential, it earns a place in the rotation.
