Ultimate Hot: another take on EGT’s fruit formula

Where it fits

EGT has released fruit slots in waves: Burning Hot, Super Hot, Dazzling Hot, Flaming Hot and more. Ultimate Hot belongs to the same tradition. Cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, grapes, watermelons and sevens fill the reels, a scatter pays anywhere, and a gamble button waits after each win. What sets each title apart is the line count, the grid shape and the paytable values, and those are exactly what you should check in the info screen before your first spin.

The feel of the game

Ultimate Hot plays fast. With no free spins and no bonus games, the loop is spin, read the result, collect or gamble, spin again. The animations are short, which suits players who like to get through a lot of spins without waiting for celebration screens. Big moments come from high symbols lining up, especially sevens, and from several scatters landing together.

If you have played other Hot slots, use that as your reference. Ask yourself whether wins arrive more or less often than on 40 Super Hot, and whether the seven seems to show up in stacks or alone. Those two questions tell you most of what you need to know.

About the gamble

The gamble is the classic EGT card game: a hidden card, red or black, double or lose. It is optional. Some players like to gamble only the smallest wins and bank anything larger; the demo is the place to work out your own rule.
