Hotter Than Hot Introduction
The Ancient Egyptian theme just isn't going anywhere in the world of pokies, and Hotter than Hot from Ainsworth is testament to its popularity. The clever developers, however, have decided to strip back the opulent graphics and offer a more modest, stylish but still eye-catching, Egyptian pokie that concentrates on the wins rather than the shiny things.
The reel table is a hot desert in front of a mummy case. Reel symbols are made up of playing cards 9 - A, as well as a few choice Egyptian artifacts such as a scarab beetle, jewellery, and the Eye of Horus.
Making a wager
Even when you pay for free you get to set your wager based on real money. The lowest bet is just a tiny $0.01 which you can make on between 1 and 30 paylines. Highest bet value is $100, which when played on all 30 paylines is a massive $3000! When you are ready choose to autoplay or simply spin to win.
Amazing bonus features
The first bonus feature is, of course, the wild. The wild symbol is represented by a pyramid. In normal play, it appears on reels 3, 4 and 5 and substitutes all symbols apart from the scatter and the king strike (more on this exciting feature below!). The scatter symbol is represented by the sacred scarab beetle. Three or more of this scattered anywhere on the reels and you enter the free spins feature with ten free games.
During the free spins feature the pyramid wild appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and becomes a holding wild. Even more, if you get another three scarab scatters during this time then you get a further five free spins! Arguably the most exciting bonus feature is the additional bonus reel that can be seen to the right of the table.
When a crown symbol appears, this is the king strike, and should you get this in conjunction with five other specified symbols on a payline, then you win one of the jackpots listed at the top. These are known as the major, maxi, minor and mini wins, although even the mini is a generous win!
Will I like Hotter than Hot?
If you're looking for a challenge and you're not swayed by graphics, then this is a wonderful option for you. The RTP, at 94.4%, is lower than many pokies games, but the potential for big payouts makes it worth a gamble. Play for free here today with no risk!
