Hot Shots Megaways

With the World Cup slowly approaching, many iGaming providers toss out their creations on the field for players to try out and enjoy. Software developer iSoftBet is no exception, this time around coming hot with the Hot Shots Megaways online slot.

Players engage on a 6 reel-ed setup with up to a maximum of 117,649 ways to win combined with a plethora of blood rushing features. It all happens so fast, make sure you don’t blink or you’ll miss out on the thrilling experience.

There’s plenty to cover, so let’s get going.

Theme and Symbols

iSoftBet is no stranger to World Cup themes, as it happens, there are multiple releases based on such a theme in the studio’s portfolio, for example the Hot Shots 2 edition. With that being said, we’re facing a glorious scenery where Football planets rotate and orbit in a pink-ish setting.

There are Deer, Dog, Chicken and Cheetah Symbols, whether they participate in the tournament or are simply mascots, we can’t say for certain. However, it’s quite refreshing to see those instead of classic football-related icons.

Then, there are A-9 royals as well as Golden Ball Scatters, Football Wilds and Hot Shots Mystery Symbols.

Betting Options and Features

The title is of high volatility and is played with 6 reels where each spin sees 2-7 symbols fall down, creating up to a maximum of 117,649 winning ways. The stakes range anywhere from 0,20 - 20,00 credits per hand.

In terms of best odds, the RTP in the base game is 95,98% whereas enabling one of the following features only increases the same. The Hot Shots Cup Fever, for example, lets you increase your stakes by 25% whilst allowing you to trigger the Cash Respins game with only 4 Scatters instead of 5.

The game also comes with the Cascading mechanic, where winning symbols get evaporated from the reels, granting spots for new symbols to fall down. The process repeats for as long as players keep winning.

Mystery Symbols - These can land on any of the reels and always reveal a matching paying Symbol. This can be any Icon with the exception of Golden Ball Scatter and Football Wild.

Wild Symbol - Appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only as a replacement for any other regular bar the Golden Ball Scatter.

Cash Respins - It takes 5 Golden Ball Scatters ( or 4 when playing with Hot Shots Cup Fever ) in view to activate the feature. The Scatters remain locked in place for the duration of 3 respins and each new Scatter resets the counter.

Moreover, aside from the Scatters with values, there are also Mini ( 30x ), Major ( 100x ) and Mega ( 1,000x ) Scatters to be won. In case of filling an entire reel with Scatters, a multiplier equal to the number of Scatters on the reel is applied to respective Scatter values.

Hot Shots Cup - Triggers randomly on any spin, activating the Cash Respins or simply scoring Big Win.

Max Megaways - Once again, occurs completely at random, forcing the grid to produce a maximum of 117,649 ways to win.

Goal Scatters - Third time's the charm, when triggered ( randomly ), players are granted a chance to activate either Cash Respins or VIP Cash Respins.

A quick one, should you be impatient of course, the Hot Shots Bet feature allows you to purchase either regular Cash Respins or VIP Cash Respins, each comes at a different cost, of course.
