Hell Hot 40 Slot Machine - Play Hell Hot 40 Slot Free

Introduction

This slot is part of the Hell Hot series of games from Endorphina, nestling between the games with 20 and 100 pay lines.

Played on a 5x4 reel set, as the title suggests the game boasts 40 bet ways which pay left to right. There is a maximum win of x1000 available.

There is a wild symbol which can appear stacked on the reels. It substitutes for all other symbols with the exception of the scatter, and both the special symbols pay out when three or more appear on the reels either on a pay line or in the case of the scatter anywhere on the reels.

If you enjoy slots with wilds, you will find many more in demo mode at Slots Temple. 

There is also a gamble option, where players try to beat the dealer by choosing a downward=facing card.

Apart from the wild and scatter there are six other classic symbols. The top payers are the Lucky 7, Watermelon and Grapes. These are followed by three less-rewarding symbols - the Lemon, Plum and Cherries.

If you want to try more Endorphina demo slots, you will find plenty at Slots Temple. 

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

Fans of anything retro will enjoy the look of Hell Hot 40. The well-designed symbols gleam on the reel set, which is fittingly framed in gilt and sits on a lush red background.

As the reels spin we just hear them click into place with no distracting music, but wins are greeted with an electronic fanfare.

If the theme of this slot appeals to you, why not try an even simpler game, the Charlie Chance in Hell to Pay slot, which plays on a 3x3 reel set?

Hell Hot 40 Review 

This latest edition of the Hell Hot series is an upgrade on the 20-line game and is to be welcomed. Launched in New Zealand in October 2021, the game has been an instant hit amongst fans of retro games.

As we would expect from this accomplished designer, the graphics are good and the mechanics of the game produce results in line with the official RTP. In the game information the maker also gives the percentage chances of the risk game, which is a plus.

We anticipated a stripped-back game with few features, but the lack of free games or even a re-spin is a drawback of Hell Hot 40.

The good news is that there is wide betting spread, and so the player who enjoys a risk may still be attracted.
