Slot Review: Hillbillies

Non-American online slot players may be a little confused by Hillbillies. We’re not sure how well this Yank cultural stereotype translates internationally, much like the British conception of a “chav.” Hillbillies are also known as rednecks, country bumpkins, or poor whites. The term refers to hicks who generally live in rural areas, maintain a strong naïveté or even ignorance of worldly affairs, speak with a strong Southern accent, and are considered to be uneducated. It’s not a nice stereotype, but it sure is a funny one. If nothing else, the Hillbillies online slot game will probably keep you chuckling.

Hillbillies is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot game by Real Time Gaming. Coin values start at one cent and range up to five dollars, with the max coin value of twenty (one per payline) making the maximum per-spin wager one of one hundred dollars. The jackpot is five thousand coins, or twenty-five thousand dollars maximum. There is a free practice mode for those who would like to try this game out before committing part of their bankroll on a wager!

Moonshine, a tin-roofed shack, and a morose-looking pooch are all featured on the reels of this slot game. The graphics are sub-par, but we’re willing to bet that most players can forgive this because of the random, progressive jackpot that can be won on any spin. With wilds, scatters, multipliers, and free spins, Hillbillies is a more sophisticated pokey than it originally appears to be. That’s not unsurprising, given the title of the game!
