Really Hot

The simple elegance of the classic slot machine still attracts players today, even though there are far more complex and entertaining games to be seen on the market. However, those cherry symbols and simple mechanics will probably be here for years to come. 

The developers at Gamzix have decided to test their skills on a classic fruit machine and they pulled together Really Hot, a video slot that has all the vintage symbols and a few flames around them to spice things up. 

Theme

There’s nothing complicated about the design of this game, we have all the classic symbols rolling around on three black reels, surrounded by flames. It would have been nice to have an animated background instead of a static image. 

Moreover, those flames could have been included in the soundtrack as well, instead of the rather silly tune that we hear while spinning the reels. The symbols are those that you all know and love from the vintage fruit machines: cherries, lemons, plums, oranges, along with liberty bells, BARs, stars and lucky 7s.

Betting Options and Functions

The game is played on a tiny grid with just 3 reels and 3 rows, which offer 5 fixed paylines. The Lucky Number 7 is the most valuable symbol in this game, it can be worth up to 150 times the stake. 

The betting range spans from 5 credits to 100, but you can only pick five different bet levels: 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100. This slot has low to medium variance, and the return to player percentage is 96.1. 

Features

The classic fruit machines that you can still find in land-based casinos don’t come with mesmerizing features, but this title at least tries to add something to the well-known simple mechanics. 

Every winning spin comes with a chance of doubling the prize through the Gamble feature. If you choose to risk it you will enter a simple red-or-black game, this time with diamonds of two different colors, and you will be able to double your prize up to 32 times! 

The game also features a progressive jackpot, which can be won through a special mini-game. In that game you will get to pick between 12 playing cards, and if your inspiration leads you to choose three matching ones you will grab the jackpot! 

The jackpot game does not depend on the symbols that land on the reels, it can simply trigger randomly at any time. 

Conclusion

Really Hot is a simple classic video slot from the game creators at Gamzix, they did add a progressive jackpot to make things a bit more interesting but overall this product is extremely low on features. 

Moreover, the graphics and animations are quite basic as well, and the soundtrack is poor. Nevertheless, if you are looking for some simple reel-spinning fun then this game should be able to provide the thrills you need.
