Hot Choice Slot Review

Hot Choice…mm...this sounds interesting. I peered at the review request in my email box, and before I could Google the theme of the slot, my mind was running rampant:
“Hot Choice” - Beauty pageant slot in which the player is the judge. YES! That must be it!
I could live with that – it's a bit sexist in this day and age, but maybe they would be judged on intelligence also. Perhaps the contestants get to answer a question in the slot like in real pageants:

Question: “Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the US on the world map. Why do you think this is?”

Answer : “I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so, because uh, some uh, people out there in our nation don’t have maps and uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the US should help the US, uh, or uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future. For our children.”

That's a real quote by the way. So maybe it's best if the slot didn't have a Q/A session. Nonetheless, I was excited at the prospect of each symbol being a stunning beauty. I logged in, found the slot, and the screen began to load. The anticipation was excruciating…

WHAT? A fruit video slot? C'mon Amatic! That's cruel! I felt totally deflated. I left the office and that night I couldn't even decide whether to play this on my P.C, mobile or tablet – I was still inconsolable.
In the end, I plonked on a chair and tried out this slot on my computer.
The first feeling I got, strangely enough, was a feeling of calm. There's something about fruit slots that make them the comfort food of the casino world. The inaptly named Hot Choice is full of colour and familiar sounds. Slowly my disappointment faded and I couldn't help but enjoy myself.

Gameplay

Hot Choice is a 5 reel 10 payline slot ,making it a fairly volatile offering. Lucky number 7 and a Hot Choice game icon (scatter) are joined by a variety of fruit: watermelon, plum, lemon, grapes, orange and cherries.
The Control Panel is simple yet effective. Your Total Balance and Bet Amounts are displayed below the reels. Underneath that are AutoStart, Exit, Gamble, Bet and Start.
A downside for some may be the lack of a Turbospin, but for me, it's something I rarely use.

Features

This ain't an ordinary fruit slot! 3 or more scatters scores you Free Spins where you have a choice of options:

• 15 Free Spins and 3x multiplier.

• 10 Free Spins and 5x multiplier.

• 6 Free Spins and 9X multiplier.

Free spins are also re-triggerable!

Performance

The graphics are bright and bold, which is par for the course in a fruit slot. The sound effects and music work pretty well for a while before you have to reach for mute.
I tested this game on a few devices and had no issues. I actually enjoyed playing it on my phone the most.

Conclusion

No doubt someone will steal my beauty pageant slot idea, but we will have to live in hope until then. Hot Choice was a nice consolation for me. Being a past fan of fruit slots and a current Free Spin junkie, I loved this slot. You will find many with better graphics and more features, but few that are so satisfying!
