Hot Hand Slot Machine - Play Hot Hand Slot Free

Introduction

Hot Hand is an easy-to-play three-reel, five-payline online slot from Rival Gaming. It has a lower-than-average RTP of 94.78 per cent and a limited number of bonus features, but this may be a good thing if you enjoy a simple spinning experience.

It is set in a fiery underworld where the flames and the devil look hot; however, you will have to decide whether the action is exciting enough to raise your temperature. There are wilds and multipliers that aim to add fuel to the fire, but will this be enough to make you burn with excitement when playing this Hell-themed game?

Hot Hand theme, graphics & soundtrack

Hot Hand will take you on a journey to the depths of Hell, where a sexy leather-clad female devil presides over the action. The background is blazing with fire but you will have to decide whether the action is as hot as the design suggests. The graphics and rock-style soundtrack are both adequate to carry the theme and gameplay, creating an experience that whilst not scorching may not leave you feeling too cold in the end. If you like the theme, you may also want to give the Leprechaun Goes to Hell slot a try. Most people don’t want to end up in Hell but you might decide it is exactly where you want to be, especially if you get to go there for free.

Hot Hand RTP and variance

The RTP of the game is 94.78 per cent. This is better than some Rival Gaming slots available to play online but is far from the best available. The average out there is closer to 96 per cent, so this relatively low ratio may put some players off. It is not clear what the variance of this game is supposed to be, but it played like a medium volatility slot when we tried. Perhaps you will choose to play for free here at Slots Temple to see whether you agree?

How to play Hot Hand

Get started playing the Hot Hand slot with these handy hints:

1. Choose how many coins you want to play - you can opt to play one, two or three. How many you play will directly influence how much you can win for matching symbols in the game.
2. Decide how much your coins are worth - your choices are 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00 or 5.00 per coin per spin. Your coin value multiplies by prizes in the paytable to decide how much you win for matching combinations.
3. Choose how many of the five paylines you want to play. Obviously, the more lines you choose to play, the greater chance you have of winning. Remember that playing more lines will also mean your playing budget will go down faster - unless you win, of course.
4. As you might expect if you have ever played an online slot, the circular button that sits below the central reel will start the reels spinning.
5. You can choose to click the auto tab and allow the game to spin for a set number of games without you having to intervene.

Bet sizes & paytable wins

There is plenty of betting choice in this Rival Gaming slots game, starting at 0.01 per spin. This goes up to 75.00 to bet the maximum on all five paylines. This range should be more than enough to suit most playing styles, with even higher rollers finding a little excitement in a 75.00 per spin stake.

Wins are paid from left to right for three matching symbols on an active payline, with the number of coins you bet on each spin influencing how much you can win. If you choose to stake the maximum of three coins, here is what you could win:

• Wild = 4,500
• Devil = 225
• 7 = 75
• Fire diamond = 60
• Bell = 45
• Cherries = 30
• Diamond = 15
• Club = 12
• Heart = 9
• Spade = 6

These numbers are multiplied by your coin value to work out your win. The game’s paytable displays all the wins on offer, including the prizes you could win if you choose to bet less than the maximum three coins per spin.

Hot Hand bonus features

Wild

The wild is the main bonus feature of the game. In addition to substituting for other symbols to help create wins, it delivers multipliers depending on where it lands on the reels. 

Multipliers

Wilds landing on reel one can add a 2x multiplier to wins, whilst reel two wilds deliver a 3x multiplier. A 4x multiplier accompanies the wilds on reel four. If more than one wild helps you to create a win, the multipliers are multiplied by each other first and then with your win.

Hot Hand review: our verdict

Hot Hand is a stripped-back slot that has limited entertainment value unless you enjoy simply spinning to see whether the matching wins land. Having said this, the wilds and multipliers are a bonus and add something extra to what might otherwise be a bit of a damp squib. The relatively low RTP of 94.78 per cent doesn’t add to the excitement value, but the theme is strong and the designer’s attention to detail is fairly easy to see. The rock soundtrack is also far from the most annoying out there, although we still wanted to turn it off fairly quickly.
