The set up here is pretty basic. Set against a flaming backdrop you’ll see a selection of 7 classic fruit machine symbols spinning around the reels. The lowest payers are the cherries, lemons, oranges and plums. Land 3, 4 or 5 of these on 1 of the game’s 10 paylines and you’ll pocket an award of 2, 5 or 20 times your stake.
Next come the melons and bells which pay 5, 20 or 50 times your stake if you land a 3, 4 or 5-symbol combination. Comfortably the best payer is the golden 7. In the happy event of landing 3, 4 or 5 of these, you can look forward to an award of 10, 100 or 500 times your stake.
It’s usually about this time in a review when our attention turns to all the tasty features on offer in a slot game. In this case, it will make very quick reading. There’s nada in the way of extras here. There’s not even a wild to help you in the base game.
This is as stripped back a slot game as you’ll find anywhere. If you’re after anything in the way of extras, then you won’t find them here. The key to winning big comes with the golden 7 symbol – fill the reels with it and you’ll pocket a cool 5,000 times your total stake.
We weren’t exactly bowled over by Hot Frootastic. The visuals are decent enough but the lack of free spins or other goodies to spice up the action made this a rather disappointing play. We didn’t even find it especially volatile.
If you want a slot game that harks back to the early days of one-armed bandits, then that’s precisely what you’ll find in Hot Frootastic. If that sounds a bit vanilla, then it is. I would rather play slot games with bonus features and better graphics such as Net Entertainment’s Vikings or Yggdrasil Gaming’s Cazino Cosmos.
