Hot Shots 2 Slot Machine - Play Hot Shots 2 Slot Free

Game theme & storyline

Hot Shots 2 picks up where Hot Shots left off at the forest football tournament. All your favorite animals are back to show off their skills and even if you find the theme a little too childlike, you won’t turn your nose up at the solid range of bonus features.

The release of this slot was timed to coincide with Euro 2020; however, with the tournament postponed, this crazy gang of football-mad animals might be the nearest we all get to the real thing for quite a while!

Graphics & sound

If you were a fan of the first game, you will love Hot Shots 2. All your favorite characters are back, from Pierre the French cockerel to Harry the British bulldog and Pedro the Spanish bull. New signings Fausto the fox from Portugal and Gerhard the German shepherd from Germany complete the line-up of soccer-mad mammals playing in another tournament on their sandy pitch in front of an adoring and noisy crowd.

From the jaunty jungle soundtrack to the cartoon-style graphics and setting, Hot Shots 2 sticks closely to the blueprint of the first game. It may be a little childlike for some; however, the gameplay on offer is anything but and iSoftbet slots has created a successful sequel in this highly playable game.

How to play

This is an anyways pays slot where winning combos land on adjacent reels rather than paylines; theoretically, you can hit a win anywhere on the reels reading from left to right. You will want to take a look at the paytable before you play for information on every potential winning combo and the higher paying symbols to look out for.

There are nine to ace royals covering the low tariff wins plus the cast of animals paying out on combinations of three, four or five on the reels. The German hound is the top dog, paying out 10x your stake when you hit five of a kind. Look out for the red and white football, which is the game’s wild and will replace all the standard royals and picture symbols. This one hits on reels two, three and four only.

If you like to speed up the reels, there is a turbo mode option. Fans of autoplay can choose 5 to 1,000 spins and set win and loss limits to manage their bankroll.

Bet sizes & maximum win

This slot has a transparent staking structure and players can select their comfort level by clicking the coin symbol to the right of the reels. You can play all 243 ways to win from 0.25 to 25.00 credits per spin.

The maximum win in Hot Shots 2 is capped at 12,150x your stake, with the possibility of winning 2,430x your bet on any spin or free spin. It is obvious there is huge potential here but those huge wins are as rare as a goalkeeper’s hat trick.

Bonus features

Spreading wilds: the red and white football wild will expand one space horizontally and vertically to form a cross. These spreading wilds land on reels two, three and four and are also available in the free spins round.

Free spins: land three, four or five game logo scatters to trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins. These are played with gold football wilds that fall on reels two, three and four and expand to form a cross shape. In the free spins, they also add a 1x increasing multiplier every time they land.

Ultra Bet mode: this feature lets you buy 50 spins for 50x your stake. They play out as usual and you can trigger the free spins round while playing the Ultra Bet. Stars are added to the reels along with a collection feature that unlocks additional multipliers ranging from 5x for five stars to a whopping 1,000x for all 15 stars.

Owing to UK Gambling Commission regulations, this feature is not available to UK players.

RTP & volatility

RTP and volatility are useful metrics to assess the potential payout ratio of a slot; however, they should always be treated as a guideline rather than a guarantee of the return you can expect. Your personal RTP will vary based on the frequency of your spin rate, the denomination you play at, and whether you land any of the higher paying bonus features.
