Hottest 666 Slot Review
Benedict Arnold. The name of this much-lauded and then despised general will get most Americans hot under the collar, thanks to Arnold’s plot to surrender the fort at West Point to the British in exchange for money and rank. 🇺🇸
But, Benedict means “blessed,” and Arnold is said to derive from German words meaning “eagle” and “power.” Yet the general’s name is now associated with cowardice and betrayal. 🦅
Then there’s Ivan the Terrible (Ivan means “god is gracious”) and Count Dracula. Dracula is said to mean “son of the Devil” or “dragon,” yet the Count fought on behalf of Christianity against the Ottoman Empire. 🐉🧛
So you see, names can be misleading. Just like Hottest 666 slot from BGAMING, because, sadly, there’s no devilish spiciness to the game. But there is a bunch of money up for grabs, which is a fair trade if you ask me.
Gameplay
You rarely see a seemingly innocuous-looking fruit game with a name like the Hottest 666 slot. If the stats are anything to go by, we could be in for some soul-tingling wins because there’s $231,000 up for grabs here.
I would’ve liked to have seen a bit more moolah than that, to be honest, because the volatility rate is very high. You’ll find loads of games with just a “high” volatility – much less a very high one – offering a quarter of a mil. Oh, well.
The largest multiplier is 6,600x, the RTP comes in at 96%, and there are 10 paylines.
Hottest 666 slot looks great on any device because the studio has gone with a black brick background, which makes the colorful symbols pop.
You’ll see the Wild symbols in the Bonus round, and the Scatter symbol is the one that says “Hottest 666”. The high-paying symbols comprise 7s, stars, watermelons, grapes, plums, oranges, lemons, and cherries.
Features
BONUS GAME:
Landing 3 Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 gets you into this round. But before it kicks off, you’ll see a screen with a placeholder for spins, one for the multiplier value that will be applied to your wins, and another that says “screens.”
“Screens” refers to the number of grids you can play on simultaneously. You can play up to a max of 6 when the round starts in earnest (the non-active grids are locked). Wins on all active screens are added up, and your active multiplier is multiplied by this amount.
You’ll see values fall into these placeholders – so you’ll get 5 spins and a 1x multiplier, for example – but check it out; you can add to any of these. For a price.
So, if you’re not happy with the number of spins, or the number of screens, etc., simply click “Add Extra,” which you’ll see under the 3 elements. Then add as much as you like (up to 6 each) until you get the desired result. Or can afford.
Alternatively, you can re-spin all of them for a shot at better numbers. Neat, huh?
Wild Rain:
This can happen during the Bonus round. You’ll see a random number of Wilds appearing on the reels after a spin and these will disappear after the next spin. Two Wilds get you a 1x multiplier; three Wilds = 10x; four Wilds = 100x; and five Wilds award a 500x multiplier.
BUY BONUS:
Pay 80x your bet to get to the Bonus game, pronto.
Performance
I tested Hottest 666 slot on all my devices and swapped between browsers with no incidents.
Maximum Win
I was expecting the multiplier to have triple sixes, but instead, we have 6,600x – which is still fine, don’t get me wrong. Landing this multiplier at the max bet of $35 (the lowest you can stake is $0.20) gets you a payout of $231,000.
Conclusion
There’s not much to complain about with Hottest 666 slot. You’ve got a handsome potential payout, a game that looks great on any device, and something you don’t see all that often, in the form of multiple playing matrixes.
I’m not a big fan of playing on more than one grid, but hey – studios have to cater to all tastes, after all. Players who like a lot of action won’t be satisfied either, but Hottest 666 slot doesn’t claim to be anything other than it is.
As far as fruit slots go, BGaming’s latest is at least a deviation from the norm. And you won’t even have to repent for your sins on Sunday because other than the title, there’s nothing worryingly Luciferian about this game.
