Extremely Hot Slot
Line up some Extremely Hot symbols in this slot machine by Euro Games Technology and you could be in store for some very juicy wins worth up to 100,000 credits. The game takes the form of a 5-reel video slot with 5 paylines but, in reality, the spinning action is as traditional as it comes with a set of vintage fruit machine icons and some very straightforward gameplay.
The downside to this is that there aren't any free spins, wild wins, or special bonus games on offer. However, punters can take advantage of a double-or-nothing gamble game and a randomly triggered progressive jackpot bonus round.
Smoking Hot Classic Slot
Extremely Hot is one of those classic slot machines that just oozes vintage charm. As the title of the game might suggest, the design is intended to raise the temperature with some hot and smoking action. And it does do that to an extent with a deep red colour scheme and some fiery animations whenever a set of icons line up to form a prize-paying formation on the reels. As for the symbols themselves, players of a retro persuasion will be happy to know that each icon on the reel is taken straight from the slot machine history book with timeless fruit classics such as cherries, lemons, oranges and plums as well as some other staple images like golden bells, “BAR” symbols, big red lucky 7s and shiny stars.
Those star symbols are in fact the only icons in the game which have special characteristics since they are scatter symbols which pay total bet multipliers of 2x, 10x and 50x whenever three, four or five appear on the reels, irrespective of their positioning in relation to paylines.
Place your Wagers
There are only 5 paylines in total in this slot machine, and they are all permanently fixed into position over the 5 reels. As such, bettors will simple have to choose their wagers from the total bet options that appear at the bottom of the game screen, which are: 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 credits. This effectively means that all of the wins in the paytable can be thought of as total bet multipliers which are awarded whenever two or more matching symbols appear in a row over one of the 5 paylines, with prizes ranging from as little as 1x to as much as 1,000x. You can see all of the total bet multipliers for each possible winning combination in the paytable below:
Some Fruity Multipliers
Extremely Hot may not boast the most extravagant of bonus features, with no potential for free spins or wild wins, let alone any novelty bonus side game. However, spinners can still benefit from an extra gameplay element in the base game which will award multipliers whenever stacked fruit symbols fill up portions of the 5x3 reel grid. So, should nine matching plum, lemon, orange or cherry icons appear across the first three reels, a x3 multiplier will be applied to the total game win. If 12 of a kind appear on from the first reel to the fourth reel, a multiplier of x4 will be applied.
And, last but certainly not least, a full house of 15 fruit symbols over the entire game screen will award a multiplier of x5 to the total game win for some whopping potential wins.
Go for the Gamble
Punters can also leave the reels to find some other winning opportunities with a standard 50/50 card based gamble game. This side game can be activated for all wins that are less than 35x the value of the total bet, allowing players to double their prizes from the triggering spin by guess the colour of a playing card.
There are much more lucrative wins up for grabs, however, in this EGT slot machine's progressive jackpot round. This feature is triggered completely randomly, offering bettors the chance to win one of four continuously growing jackpots by turning over three cards of the same suit. Each suit corresponds to a separate jackpot with clubs representing the lowest prize-pot and spades representing the highest.
Hot or not?
Admittedly, Extremely Hot isn't going to blow your socks off with any explosive animated action or unique and sizzling bonus games. But then again, the merit of this slot machine is the fact that is conforms to traditions with a series of iconic arcade style symbols. Plus, with the usual EGT software gamble game and Jackpot Cards feature, not to mention a 100,000 credit jackpot in the base game, there is still every chance for spinners to satisfy their dreams of a big win.
