Hot Spin

The retro inspired Hot Spin slot from iSoftBet feels like a refreshing throwback to the days of classic fruit machines, but it offers much more including an innovative 'wheel of fortune' feature, which the game takes its name, that’s the key route to all kinds of bonuses.

The bonuses are accessed via the 'Hot Wheel' above the main slot. Visually this is something a little different to most slot games. To access it you need to land three BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5, which grants you between 1-15 additional free spins immediately. On top of that, a 'Hot Spin' of the wheel will decide what special feature will be active during those spins.

Landing scatters on reels one, three and five activates the Hot Wheel Bonus Round where you receive a bonus feature and up to fifteen free spins! The Hot Wheel has an outer ring covered in bonuses and an inner ring with multipliers up to twelve times your stake. The two rings spin in opposite directions to activate a bonus that will affect the reels for the free spins sequence.

There are two bonuses related to wild symbols; Random Wilds and Wild Reels. The first adds 5, 7 or 10 extra wilds to each of your free spins, while the latter adds stacked wild reels - both greatly increasing your chance of a big win. Meanwhile, the 'Win Spins' feature works exactly as it sounds, guaranteeing some kind of win on each of your free spins.

The Mystery Symbol is another feature that can be activated during a free spins round. If you land one of these, it will transform 6 to 8 different symbols into the same matching symbol for each spin, again increasing your chance of matching a combination of symbols for a good win.

With the 'Wheel of Fortune' playing such a big part in this game, its special features are your best option for big wins. Otherwise, your normal spins can also yield decent returns. You could land between 2 and 5 Wilds (represented by the large 'W' symbol) during any spin, which substitute for other symbols. Cherries, lemons and plums represent lower value symbols, paying up to 2.5x your stake, while at the top end of the scale, a diamond symbol can net you 25x your stake if you land 5 across one of the 20 paylines.

It may initially seem like a lot of things fill the screen, but you don't need to worry about controlling the bonus wheel. Below the slot are regular options for adjusting coin value, with stakes ranging from £0.20 to £100 per spin, and bet size is displayed on the left. In the centre is the important round spin button. Hit it, sit back and let the reels do the rest.

In an industry filled with increasingly outrageous themes, the Hot Spin fruit machine/wheel of fortune approach may be one plenty of players find nostalgic. It was released in August 2018 yet feels like it could have been around a lot longer, while also implementing modern elements. The visuals and sound effects are minimalistic but achieve their aims. If you're a fan of classic slots, you'll enjoy time with this one.

With a wealth of titles to choose from, iSoftBet has something for every player, from the spooky Paranormal Activity with an impressive 243 ways to win, to the beautiful Tree of Fortune with free spins bonus.
