Hell Hot 20 - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Are you looking for free slot games with simple but exciting gameplay? Hell Hot 20 could be the slot for you. There’s something inherently dramatic about those flaming graphics, while the actual 5 reels host a classic fruit machine theme with 20 paylines and the extra thrill of a gamble feature. 

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

This isn’t some modern twist on the fruit machine. It’s a real, retro feeling game that recalls the most classic slots. The fruits are big and bold, with a cartoon quality, though black edging and a 3D shine makes them pop. It’s also, as you might guess from the title, rather hot. To be precise, Hell Hot 20 is set against a blazing background of red, orange and yellow, regularly being crossed by showers of sparks. The reels are an even darker red, while the 7s are decorated by rising flames and other symbols will catch fire when they’re part of a winning line. Yes, this is the sort of slot you’d expect to see in fiery hell, so it’s a shame there’s not a little more drama in the soundtrack, which is mostly generic effects and not much music.

Hell Hot 20 RTP and Variance

We normally say to look for 96% or above when looking at the RTP of a slot. Endorphina appear to have taken that seriously with Hell Hot 20, which sits just inside the preferred range at 96.01%. If you’re wondering what this means for your game, well, it’s an average. It’s how your overall wins may shake out if you play for long enough. On individual spins, you’re still at the whims of chance. Another thing that makes wins harder to predict is the lack of official variance information.

How to Play Hell Hot 20

Don’t let the flames distract you, the layout is similar to other Endorphina free slots:

1. There are some small buttons at the top right of the screen that could be easy to miss. You definitely want to check them out. The first one is the info button that takes you to the paytable.
2. The other buttons up here include a sound control, the full screen toggle and a power button.
3. All the other buttons are under the reels, starting with the menu. It contains all the information you need that isn’t on the paytable, as well as some settings controls.
4. Your first page in the menu is the statistics page. This is useful to keep track of how long you’ve played, how much you’ve gambled and if you’ve made any significant wins.
5. Also in the menu are the autoplay settings, a page where you can change the in-game language, a sound page that separates master sound, effects sound and background sound with sliding meters, and a miscellaneous page where you can choose to display in money or credits, set a reality check and adjust game quality between low, medium and high.
6. Back on the main screen, the paylines are fixed but you can adjust coin value or bet just by clicking on them.
7. Other settings under the reels include turbo mode and a simpler autoplay that just sets the reels spinning. If you want to include your time and budget limits, you’ll need to head back to the menu.
8. Now all that’s left before you start playing is to set your budget. Work out how much you can afford to risk and remember not to chase losses.

Always play responsibly. When the fun stops, stop.

Hell Hot 20 Gamble/Risk Feature

A gamble feature is an opportunity to risk your prize after a winning spin. If you’re lucky, you could double your payout. If you’re unlucky, you could lose your stake. Luckily, it’s an optional extra, so if you’d rather bank your winnings straight away you can.

If you do fancy a bit of extra risk, then you click the gamble button (it’ll appear where you normally see the menu button). You’ll be presented with 5 cards, 1 faceup and 4 facedown. You just have to pick one of the facedown cards. If it’s the same colour as the dealer’s card, then you win. If you change your mind, just click collect.

Hell Hot 20 Review

There’s only so much you can do with a fruit machine. The 'Hell Hot' of the title may add some fiery extra excitement to the graphics (a comparison might be the Charlie Chance in Hell to Pay sllot), but the actual gameplay is pretty simple. That’s not always a bad thing, sometimes we want to just enjoy a slot without having to wade through complicated and confusing features. The gamble option is a nice way to add a little something extra if you want it.
