Hot Slot Slot Review

How to play

Hot Slot is incredibly simple to play as it only has one payline. This may seem limiting, but it makes the gameplay and calculating your wins relatively easy. It also has three standard reels, and two bonus reels, for a total of five reels. Each reel has three rows, although some symbols extend on multiple rows.

The first three reels are standard and have basic symbols on them. Alternatively, the 4th and 5th reels have bet multipliers, free spins, and other bonus features. The 4th and 5th reels continuously spin and activate only if you get a winning combination.

For bet values, you can only change the total stake. There is a button in the bottom left-hand corner and you can change the stake from a minimum of €0.20 to a maximum of €40. This allows mainly low spenders and casual players to enjoy this video slot.

Symbols and payouts

Hot Slot has just five standard symbols but a host of bonus features and special symbols. The basic symbols are cherries, three different types of BAR symbols, and 7’s. The 7’s are the highest paying basic symbol with a maximum multiplier of 50x for 3x symbols. The lowest paying symbol is the cherries which have a 2x multiplier for one cherry.

The bar symbols come in three different colors – blue, pink, and green. The green bar symbol is a 3x and always forms a winning combination regardless of how many there are.

Aside from the basic reels, there are two hot reels – reel four and five. Bonus reel four contains free spin symbols and a range of multipliers from 3x up to 5x. Bonus reel five also has a free spin symbol, the mystery prize bonus, and bet multipliers from 4x up to an amazing 20x. These reels only activate on a winning combination. 

On the bonus reel five, there is also three types of mystery prize symbol. Each is a flaming phoenix and the symbols are – huge prize, major prize, and grand prize. These are the highest paying symbols in the game and have multipliers of 100x, 300x, and 1,000x respectively.

There is also a wild symbol which is a neon diamond. This substitutes for all other symbols including the cherries. It only appears on reel one, two, and three, and it has a maximum payout multiplier of 100x for three wild symbols.

Best Hot Slot bonus feature

The Hot Slot bonus feature is two sets of potential free spin rounds from reels four and five. Both of the hot reels have a free spin symbol. Reel four has the basic free spin symbol, whilst reel five has the hot free spin symbol. These symbols allocate a different number of free spins.

The standard symbol on reel four awards five free spins per symbol. This means you can get a maximum of 15 free spins on one spin from this reel. Alternatively, the hot free spin symbol on reel five awards an amazing 25 free spins per symbol. This means you can get a whopping 75 free spins from this reel.

The Hot Slot free spins use the standard paytable and symbols. However, the spins feature a larger amount of wild symbols, and additional free spins can be triggered to make some huge jackpot chains. 

RTP & Volatility

The Hot Slot RTP is 94.87% which is OK. This is slightly below the usual industry average of between 95-96%. In terms of volatility, this slot is classed as medium volatility. This offers balanced gameplay and you can expect to win semi-frequently, with the occasional large win added in too. The best wins will come from the free spin bonus rounds.
