Hot Pots slot features 5×3 reels and 10 paylines, its high volatility matches the hot theme while the RTP timidly displays a just acceptable 95.21%. Your bet can vary on each spin from $0.20 to $100.
You can win a prize by lining up 3 to 5 identical symbols from left to right, with the exception of the Hot Pots symbol and the Wild symbol, which can also pay out when there is a combination of only 2 symbols. The Red Pepper looking Wild pays the most. The other symbols that pay are the Hot Pots, which can pay as much as the Wild, the Orange Pepper, the Yellow Pepper and the Green Pepper. Then the A, K, Q, J and 10 symbols will pay smaller amounts
Features
Hot Chilli & Wild Boost
The Hot Chilli symbol appearing on the screen triggers one of the following 3 Wild Boosts:
- Rivers Of Fire: Create 1 to 4 Stacked Wilds;
- Wild Fire: Create 2 to 8 Wilds;
- Red Hot Wilds: Create between 2 and 8 Multiplier Wilds that give a multiplier of x2, x3, x5 or x10.
Scatter Bonus & Free Spins
Scatter symbols can appear on reels 1, 3 and 5. The Super Scatter and Mega Scatter only appear on the third reel.
If you find 3 Scatters on the screen, the Free Spins feature is activated, the number of free spins is determined by the types of Scatters on the third reel. You will receive 8, 12 or 16 free spins with a prize of 2x, 10x or 50x your bet depending on whether you found a Scatter, Super Scatter or Mega Scatter in the middle.
During the free spins, you will be able to reactivate 8 additional spins with three new Scatters. Also, respins are earned after each Wild Boost activated.
Overall
The Hot Pots slot machine tackles a fairly common environment mixing a hot theme with that of chillies and Hell. Stakelogic has chosen to add some Wilds features making your spins unpredictable at times and the Free Spins feature will help improve player engagement with prizes sometimes amounting to 4000x the bet.
