Slot Review: Hobo’s Hoard

Hobo’s Hoard is another one of those online slot games that probably should not be played by anyone whose feelings are too easily offended. This slot title focuses on the exploits of a hobo (a homeless person, or itinerant) as he goes through his life. As far as rude punters go, this one is pretty benign. We tend to like our pokies more fun and less tasteless, but that’s just our personal, collective opinion!

This online slot title has five reels, and fifteen paylines. Coin values start at one cent, and range up to twenty-five cents. Max coins has been set at seventy-five. The jackpot is just seventy-five hundred coins. That’s just eighteen hundred seventy-five bucks on a maxed-out wager, which is probably not worth the money in our eyes. At least a prize this small is likely to be paid out often. This game comes to us from the lesser-known online slot developer Rival, and is equipped with a free practice mode, so that you will not necessarily have to part with some of your bankroll to determine whether this game is right for you.

On the reels of this slot, you will see the bearded hobo of the title in profile, as well as living in a cardboard box (we wish we were making that up!). You will also see his shopping cart and a checkered bag on a stick. Various fruit fill out the reels of this game: apples and oranges, cherries, lemons, and –for some reason- purple, checkered pineapples. The trash can is wild. The soda can with “Spins” on it can give you free spins, if you get three or more. If you get at least three of the “bonus” symbols you will be taken to the Pick a Person game, in which you panhandle for extra cash.
