Theme, graphics & soundtrack in Hot Slot: Great Book of Magic

The game has a clear narrative, with good graphics and suitably haunting sounds.

Game theme in the Hot Slot: Great Book of Magic slot

If the name isn’t enough of a clue, the game’s theme is magic - specifically, an elusive spellbook that appears on the scatter symbol. The magic in this game is performed by a wizard; whether he is good or bad is never revealed. The game is one of the ‘Book of..’ style of slot games. In reality, these games have little in common apart from a book bonus symbol and the title!

Graphics in the Hot Slot: Great Book of Magic slot

To set the scene, the reels are set in front of a dusty room complete with piles of old books, stone stairs, creepy chains, and even skulls. The symbols on the reels are classic magic-related items, such as a cauldron, owl, snake, spellbook, and the wizard himself. The reels are encased in an ornate gold trim. Flames can be seen behind and above the reels; presumably, this is what makes it a ‘hot slot’.

Sounds in Hot Slot: Great Book of Magic slot

The soundtrack is atmospheric and works perfectly with the theme and style.

Players must land two or more matching winning symbols on one of the slot’s ten paylines to win, both in the base game and the free spins feature. At the end of each spin, any line wins are added together to give the total win amount.

• 5 x wizard = 5,000x (win multiplier based on bet per line)
• 5 x cobra = 2,000x
• 5 x scatter = 2,000x (win multiplier also based on per line bet, but scatters can land anywhere)

Scatter symbols

There are two scatters in this game: the standard red and the sticky blue. Both act like wilds, substituting for other symbols to maximize wins.

Free spins

The free spins feature is triggered by landing three scatters in the base game. These can be either the blue or the red scatter symbol. The blue scatter, which is called a sticky infinity scatter, will remain in place until enough other scatters have appeared to trigger a free spins feature. The standard number of free spins is ten; however, the collect to infinity sticky symbol displays an additional number of free spins. When these symbols land, they also stick in place until the free spins feature triggers, rising by one on each spin. The total number of extra free spins will be added to the ten standard free spins.

At the start of the free spins feature, one symbol will be randomly chosen as an expanding symbol. When it lands during the feature, it may randomly expand to cover an entire reel. It is possible to retrigger the free spins feature.

Hot Slot: Great Book of Magic review - summary

Gameplay

Unlike most slots, players have two gameplay decisions to make: the wager and the variance. This game plays out in a fairly standard way, with its simple layout and payline-win format. During the free spins, the same reels and symbols remain in play. Unlike other games, the scatter acts as both a wild and a scatter.

Theme and style

This game is part of a long tradition of games known as ‘Book of..’ slots. The graphics are good and the atmospheric magical scene is made more exciting with the appearance of flames.

Hot Slot: Great Book of Magic bonus features

The game’s main bonus feature is the free spins round. With a minimum of ten free spins available - and likely to be more with the collect infinity symbol - this is an exciting feature in which a random expanding symbol can help to increase the prize pot.
