Hot 7s x 2 Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Hot 7s x 2 Review - Introduction

Hot 7s x 2 is a classic slot with an infernal twist. The symbols, reels and menus are all engulfed in flames! That makes for an especially high-octane and dramatic gaming experience, and each of this slot’s five reels shows some red hot symbols. A star, horseshoe and golden bell offer the biggest wins.

The lower portion of the payable consists of classic bar symbols, a pair of plums and some cherries. The Lucky 7 wild ups the ante even higher. Not only is it a wild, but the symbol can also award multipliers up to x8.

There are five paylines, winnings pay left to right and features like autospin and space bar functionality make playing Hot 7s x 2 a seamless experience.

If you can take the heat of this red hot slot, it’s free to play in demo mode as one of the many CT Gaming online slots available.

Theme, Graphics & Design

A high-energy soundtrack perfectly sets the scene for the high-octane gameplay offered by Hot 7s x 2. The design of this slot is red hot, the reels are bathed in fire, many of the symbols appear engulfed in flames and even the game logo at the top is ablaze!

As you can probably guess, the colour palette is overwhelmingly red. We loved the sense of action and excitement that the fiery visuals create, especially with that pounding soundtrack to complement them. Some of the symbols (most notably the plums) even perspire with the heat.

Music is a mix of grinding bass lines and a faster string solo that crackles along at pace. It’s impossible not be get caught up in the excitement, and the soundtrack raises the tension even before you’ve started spinning. The fruit machine theme is a timeless classic, but the blazing imagery gives this slot a brand new twist.

Hot 7s x 2 RTP and Variance

The RTP of Hot 7s x 2 is 95.20%, but variance figures hadn’t been released when we wrote this review. A x1000 top win is a little disappointing, but don’t be fooled: it still won't be easy to win!

How to Play Hot 7s x 2

Hot 7s x 2 doesn't have the most intuitive menus that we've seen, but our guide should help.

1. Start by locating the neon icon marked “i” at the top left. Press this to open an explanatory section on bonuses, the paytable and paylines.

2. Return to the reels via the cross button.

3. Setting your bet is the next step. Tap “total bet” and then use the arrow on the right to scroll through the various bet sizes on offer.

4. Accessing autoplay is a two-step process. Tap the green cog button and then use the up and down arrows to choose up to 1000 spins.

5. Work out a responsible gaming budget before you start.

6. Look for the red spin button on the right and tap it to start the game!

Bet & Win Sizes

Hot 7s x 2 offers a minimum bet of 0.05 and a maximum 0.40. Clover symbols pay out the most, and landing five of these awards the top standard win of x20.

The rest of the paytable pays out as follows:

Five clovers = x 20

Five stars= x 10

Five horseshoes = x 10

Five bells = x 4

Five pink bars = x 3

Five purple bars = x 1

Five blue bars = x 1

Five plums = x 1

Five cherries = x 1

Hot 7s x 2 features just five paylines, which is slightly disappointing. Paylines are fixed, so you won’t be able to adjust them. The maximum win on this slot is x1000, and that requires the multiplier wild (as well as a great deal of luck!).

Hot 7s x 2 Bonus Features

Hot 7s x 2 is hardly overburdened with bonus features, but the good news is that the features it does contain are nice and simple.

Here’s a quick overview.

Multiplier Wild

The Lucky 7 symbol functions as a standard wild (paying out bigger wins and substituting for other symbols) but for one special twist. The more of these wilds you can land, the higher the multiplier you’ll earn. Just one wild awards a x2 multiplier, two give you x4 and three award the top multiplier of x8.

Scatter Symbol

Keep your eyes peeled for the scatter symbol, which is designed as a golden star. This symbol pays out x10 for a fivefold combination, but it’s unique in that it pays out in any position, regardless of paylines.

Final Thoughts

Make no mistake, Hot 7s x 2 is a classic slot with classic symbols and classic gameplay, but the addition of that special wild gives it a unique twist. Sizzling visuals and a high-energy soundtrack make the slot compelling from the moment it loads, but it’s the special wild that kept us spinning.

Wild symbols are a common sight on online slots, but the Lucky 7s here stand miles apart from their competition. Being able to land a x8 multiplier on any spin in the base game, without additional bonus features, ensures that there’s always a reason to press spin again.

Hot 7s x 2 doesn't feature as many bonus games as we would like (free spins seem like an especially big omission), but it’s difficult to complain when there’s such a valuable wild symbol in the mix.

If fiery slots get your heart racing, why not give the Joker Hot Reels demo a try too? It’s another classic available at Slots Temple.
