Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

We really loved the graphics of this fast-paced game, with photorealist ingredients bobbing in a fierce-looking Sichuan broth.

The hotpot dates back thousands of years in Chinese cuisine and each region has their own variations. The broth and the dipping sauces make each version unique and delicious. Guests select their ingredients and then dip them in the broth to cook - hotpot is sometimes known as shabu shabu or swish swish. Drop your piece of fish or meat and you never know what you’ll find…

This Octavian slots hotpot is definitely the famous Sichuan má là version. With a name meaning numb and spicy, it’s packed full of Sichuan pepper and chillis. There are all sorts of delicacies to tempt you - lobsters and crayfish, mushrooms and tofu among them.

The jaunty Asian soundtrack and the appetising visuals mean you’ll get pretty hungry playing this one - make sure you have the local takeaway on speed dial.

Good Luck Hotpot Review

We thoroughly enjoyed dipping into Octavian’s Good Luck hotpot and seeing what bonus features we could come up with. There are plenty to choose from with random transforming symbols, stacking wilds, free spins and a four level bonus with plenty of instant wins.

One for the more experienced player, it’s not the most rewarding game in real money terms, but for fun play it’s well worth trying your luck. The combination of fantastic graphics and enjoyable fast moving gameplay makes it well worth a spin.

Dreamtech’s Hotpot Feast slot is more of the same with cascading wins and cute cartoon graphics.
