Fire Hot 5 Slot Review

Pragmatic Play has been around for a while now, and it’s made a few slots of varying themes and features. Here, though, with Fire Hot 5, it’s gone as classic as you can with a five-reel game. This fruit machine tries to play it clean and simple, with just five paylines and the only notable features the different types of scatter symbol and the expanding wild. 

Fill Your Basket

If you head out to the grocer, what are you going to pick up for your basket? Well, if you’re also a fan of the video slot, there are certain fruits that just have to take priority. Lemons and oranges. Cherries and plums. A whole bunch of grapes and that inevitable slice of watermelon. There are some surprises in the Fire Hot 5 slot paytable, though, with the slightly less traditional bunch of bananas as well as the apple.

What More Is There to Say?

Our Fire Hot 5 slot review isn’t the first time we’ve evaluated a fruit machine, and chances are it’s not the first one you’ve played. There are only so many ways to describe a slot with a plain background (in this case green, though it has an animated ripple that makes it look almost like a billowing curtain) and dark solid reels, where the only non-fruit symbols are the equally traditional bells, clover and dollar signs. 

We’d sum up by saying that the symbols have a curve and a shine to them, not too retro, and the design is generally bold but simple, with a pretty high degree of quality despite its classic inspiration. Things do heat up with some fiery animations for your winning symbols. As for the music, that wouldn’t sound out of place on a dance floor.

Fire Hot 5 RTP and Variance

The Fire Hot 5 slot has a top RTP of 96.27%, but some casinos may set it lower. Variance is medium.

How to Play Fire Hot 5

Slots like this are among the easiest to master:

1. Pragmatic Play slots pretty much always start with the same menu, which has nearly all the settings you might want: bet, battery saver, ambient music and sound FX.
2. Some of these settings, like bet and sound, are available in different form on the main screen. The sound is one on/off button, bet uses plus and minus symbols to adjust coins per line, coin value and total bet (from a minimum of 0.05).
3. Another button on the main screen, right next to menu, is info. That’s where you’ll find the paytable. You want to know the payout potential of winning symbols? Check here.
4. Now you can start the game properly by hitting spin, if you have a budget.
5. The game may time out if you leave it so long, but check for other self-exclusion, timeout and other responsible gaming features.
6. Stick to your limits and know when to stop.

How to Win at Fire Hot 5

Classic slots have classic formats, and the five reels and five paylines of Fire Hot 5 couldn’t be much more straightforward if they tried. Start in the leftmost reel, find between three and five matching symbols that run consecutively and adjacent across one of the paylines. Keep a look out for the scatter, special scatter and expanding wild, all of which have special functions.

Top Wins

• A glance at the paytable will reveal eight regular paying fruits.
• The win multiplier that applies for low-value symbols - watermelon, grapes, banana and lemon - is x20 your wager for the maximum five matches.
• For five matches of the top-paying apple (the only symbol that starts paying in a combination of two rather than three), that win multiplier is x540.
• Overall the max win available is x2700

Fire Hot 5 Bonuses 

Our Fire Hot 5 bonus features section isn’t going to be that large because, like many classic fruit machine slots, it puts most of its effort into its base game. There’s no free spins bonus, for example, or progressive jackpot. That doesn’t mean that special symbols, especially expanding wilds, can’t impact on your total win.

Scatter and Special Scatter

A scatter symbol might be associated with triggering bonus features, but its primary characteristic is the ability to work from anywhere on the reels rather than having to be on a payline. The regular scatter symbol in Fire Hot 5 can pay up to x100 for five matches, but there’s also a special scatter that only appears on the first, third and fifth reels.

Expanding Wilds

You might be familiar with the concept of a wild symbol from other slots. It’s wild because it doesn’t have a fixed value - it can change to match other symbols if that’s what’s needed for a line. In the Fire Hot 5 slot it’s also an expanding symbol, meaning that rather than just filling one position on a reel it’ll cover all three. That means extra opportunities for winning combinations.

Fire Hot 5 Review - Summary 

If you like classic slots with a bit of modern sleekness, Fire Hot 5 is probably your kind of thing. The clean and bold graphics depict images that we’ve seen before, but they’re well drawn. The simplicity may be refreshing if you’ve had your head turned by excessively intricate bonus features in the past, but the expanding wilds and different scatters still add some depth.
