Hot 81 Slot Review
Developed by Amatic, this game is built in such a way that it reminded us of the classic slot machines you’d find in old-time casinos in Vegas. It doesn’t feature any special mechanics or visuals but still somehow manages to keep you entertained.
Regarding the visuals, there aren’t any moving parts or elaborate animations. The reel set’s surroundings look exactly like a slot machine with payline indicators on the sides and the logo of the game at the top. The reels are divided using a silver lining decorated with star indentations.
As for the mechanics, the game works like most other classic slots. That is, the reels start spinning altogether and come to stop one after the other in consecutive order. Winning symbols become animated and trigger an audio effect.
This isn’t the first time Amatic has created such a slot as there is quite a number of similar ones in their portfolio. If you’re looking for classic slot gameplay then we recommend you check out “Hot 27” and “Hot 40” as well. For now, though, let us focus on the game in question!
How to Play Hot 81
The game consists of 3 rows and 4 reels with 81 fixed paylines. The controls are found below the reel set allowing the player to set up the autoplay function, check out the paytable, change the bet amount, spin, or enter the gambling mini-game.
Hot 81 features 3 low paying, 2 medium paying, and 2 high paying symbols. The first come in the form of cherries, a lemon, and an orange followed by a plum and the BAR word. The most rewarding symbols are represented by a bell and the lucky number 7.
The game’s special symbols are:
- Wild – The wild is represented by the star symbol and it substitutes for all other symbols to create winning combinations.
Game Rules
Hot 81 Features
You may have noticed that a scatter or bonus symbol isn’t offered and the reason behind this is the absence of a bonus mode. The game offers a vanilla slot experience meaning you won’t have access to any bonus features as none of them are offered except for a single one. Let’s check it out!
This feature is automatically activated every time a wild symbol lands on the grid. All symbols below the wild star symbol on the same reel will transform to wild star symbols as well. This immensely increases your chances of getting a full screen of wilds.
Players have the ability to enter a gambling mini-game after each winning spin for a chance to double or quadruple the won amount.
Upon entering the mini-game you will be presented with a flashing face-down card. Your goal is to successfully guess whether the revealed card will be red or black. You can also try to guess the suit of the card which, if guessed correctly, will pay 4x the won amount.
You can also bet half your win if you don’t want to bet the full amount. If you win you can then continue to gamble until you’ve reached the max win or you have collected your win and exited the mode.
If, however, at any point you guess wrong then all the winnings gathered up to that point including those of the winning spin that triggered the mini-game will be voided.
We recommend that you don’t gamble since the base game winning potential is fairly good as it is.
