Hot 81 Slot Machine

Get ready to experience slot gaming the way it was originally meant to be played! Hot 81, a slot you can count on for a quick fix of entertainment, excitement and thrills, is upon us and we are thrilled to let our avid readers and slot fans know that there is a whole lot of fun in store for all of you. Wilds, bonuses and surprises – this short ride is about to get hot, very hot!

Getting Hot Yet?

Things are sure to get hot on our end! With a slot like Hot 81, initial expectations are always going to be a little on the low side, given the fact that this is basically a no-frills, no-nonsense slot that aims to boil down the very essence of iGaming and give players a realistic chance of having fun while earning some top draw rewards.

When you consider this, other factors such as very rudimentary game design and rather annoying sound effects reminiscent of 90’s arcade games pale into insignificance. This is not to say that these things are not important – they certainly are. It’s just that excelling where it matters allows this slot to hide some of the more flawed aspects of its operation. Which brings us to the most important part of the discussion – the money!

Learning the Ways of Hot 81

First things first – this slot differs from the formulaic operation of traditional slots in many ways. For example, where a traditional slot machine would have 5 reels, this slot machine has only 4 reels. Similarly, the classic payline structure of 9 has been squared up to 81, meaning that you have a very, very good chance of hitting combinations that really matter. This ensures that as long as you don’t forget to activate all the paylines, you’ll always have a chance to hit sweet notes and cash out sweeter coins!

Speaking of coins, let us take some time to understand how the bets work here. There is a strict limit to the number of coins you can wager per line per spin. So the maximum number of coins you can bet is 81, with a denomination between 1 cent and $5. So if you decide to go for the kill, you will be parting with a considerable sum of $405 – a figure that is unheard of in penny slots.

This could be a problem if you don’t want to risk such a large amount (which, sensibly, you shouldn’t). So your first task would be to think and come up with an appropriate number to define your coins.

This may sound a bit complicated – especially if you are a beginner. But take our word for it – it will only take you 4 or 5 spins to figure out the whole thing. For that, you can resort to playing the free version of the same slot machine.

Understanding What Pays and What Doesn’t

This is important because it is the only way you can recover your bets and hopefully make some winnings.

The basic fruit symbols, Lucky Seven and BAR, do not inspire creativity, but the fact that they are there can play a crucial role as many players find them easy to play with due to the familiarity factor.

The best paying wild symbol here is the Lucky Seven. It pays 50 coins for 4 on 4 combos. Sure, 50 coins is probably going to be underwhelming in most cases, so we need to look for something more rewarding, exciting and powerful.

This need is met by the slot’s Lucky Star. For 4-on-4 combos, it pays 100 coins outright, regardless of the status of your paylines. What’s even better, when the Lucky Star appears in any vertical line on any reel, ALL other symbols are converted to the special Wild version of this Lucky Star. This can only mean that you have a huge potential to win hundreds of coins when this happens. In the best case scenario, when all lines are active, you could win a whopping 8,100 coins jackpot! Now you’re feeling the heat, aren’t you?

Hot Stuff

Hot 81 is a slot that can be played by those who just want to test the waters as far as their luck for the day is concerned. Launch it, spin it and potentially go home richer – it’s as simple as that! Of course, there are no scatters or bonuses, but that’s to be expected from a simple slot machine.
