Hit 2 Split Pokie Machine
The Hit 2 Split video pokie is a classic machine from Net Ent where symbols are largely made up of various types of fruit, the high card icons and some shiny diamonds that trigger the bonus features. Although Net Ent specialise in elaborate-designed games that tend to follow a particular topic, this sees them returning to the older style of fruit machines. They couldn’t resist adding some rewarding bonuses though, giving players a free spins game with bet multipliers, wilds that become stacked in the bonus round and double symbols that can stretch a win to 10 matching symbols across the 5 reels.
The whole pokie is presented in vivid colours including some kind of bright orange, red and purple backdrop to the reels, and a stripy purple design behind the equally-colourful symbols. It looks like the setting for a game show and certainly eye-catching, although just about on the limits of good taste.
Free Hit 2 Spin video pokie games can be found, but there’s a low limit of just 0.01 needed to get the reels spinning, although this is going to activate just 1 of the 30 paylines, so a more practical minimum stake is 0.30. Players will need to see 3 or more of the same symbol type on a line and because symbols can be doubled up, it’s possible that only reels 1 and 2 from the left side will need to match up.
Playing Spin 2 Win
A purple J is the lowest value symbol of the game, returning 5x the line bet when it’s on reels 1, 2 and 3, while 4 across a payline will be worth 15x and a full run across the game sees wins of 100x. Q’s pay out up to 125x, the K can bring in as much as 150x and when the A lands, it’s worth prizes of 5, 20 or 200x.
These are standard icons, but the fruit can appear in 2 styles and create lines of between 3 and 10 matching symbols. Starting from the bottom, we have a lemon that’s worth 10x when 3 of them appear, either individually across 3 reels, or if a double and single land on just 2 reels. The maximum win for lemons, created by 5 doubles running right across a payline, is 1200x. Next up is the blueberries that are worth between 10 and 1400x, then we see grapes that pay anything from 15 to 1600x depending on how many fill a line.
Oranges are worth a maximum of 1800 and the top valued fruit is the strawberry, which pays out 20x the line bet when 3 appear and 2000x when a line of 10 lands. The highest value symbol is a pink diamond which pays 250x for lines of 3, 1000x for 4 across a line and a high limit of 5000x when it lands across all reels. It’s also a wild symbol, so it can substitute for any playing card or fruit if a winning combination can be completed, or it can also stretch a win across the right-side reels for a higher prize.

Bonus Features
Any 4 or more Free Spin symbols will activate a bonus round, and as this can be in a single or double format, it’s not as difficult as it seems to get enough to trigger these games. The number of spins and any multipliers attached to wins throughout them depends on how many appeared in the triggering spin, with just 3 Free Spin symbols being enough for a 2x bet multiplier award, although no bonus games will follow.
If 3 landed, players win a 2x multiplier plus 10 spins and the number rises until we get to the maximum of 10 Free Spin symbols, which is worth an initial award of 10x the total bet, after which 30 bonus games will play out.
During the free games, the wild will be stacked on any reel that it appears on, which makes it a lot easier to complete a line or maybe even several at once, while any all coin wins are tripled in value.
If 4 or more Free Spin symbols land in a single game they will retrigger the round and players get a new set of extra games added on to the end of the current ones.
The Verdict
Although the Hit 2 Split video pokie may at first glance be an old style game, it’s anything but, with some unique bonus features and the potential for some big rewards. The design is pretty gaudy and it’s not mobile-optimised but apart from this, it’s a great game which really comes to life in the free spins round.
Fans of fruit machines and punters who likes fun bonus games will certainly want to try this pokie out.
