Hot Blizzard
Hot Blizzard
A 5 pay-line slot you say? Good heavens, I haven’t heard of such a thing in quite a while. Still, simple games can often bring the best rewards so let’s not judge a book by its cover. Play on!
The Basics
Hot Blizzard slot from Tom Horn Gaming is as straightforward as they come; based on the classic real-life slots but given a few updates. I like to think of it as a retro game with more than a small nod to the fruit machines of old… So, what’s new about it? Truthfully, not a great deal. But it’s 30 Free Spins with 3x multiplier that attracted my attention! Take a look for yourselves, slot lovers.
The Graphics
The reels are set against a backdrop of what looks like, well, basically a fiery hell pit – all orange and red flames, while your reel are black which means the fruity game icons stand out quite nicely. Overall, the visuals are decent but nothing I haven’t seen before.
The Play
Hot Blizzard slot comes with 5 reels, 3 rows and 5 pay-lines. The betting range is varied, and you can play from as little as 0.10 and go up to the 100.00 per spin in pounds, dollars or euros.
Your symbols on the reels include, flaming red 7s as the highest paying icon – awarding you up to 1000x your bet for 5x in a row. Plus a whole fruit bowl of different juicy symbols. Watermelons, grapes plums, oranges, lemons, and cherries are all in attendance on your screen…
The game’s frosty Wild – presumably representing the blizzard element in hot Blizzard slot – is a white lucky 7 with the word ‘Joker’ on it in gold. It will do the usual job of substituting for all icons on the reels except for the Scatter – which is a shiny golden star.
The Bonuses
Land 3x or more of the Star scatters and you will set off the free games! And here’s where the fun begins. 10x, 20x or 30x spins could be yours depending on how many Scatters you hit to begin with. 5x Scatters will get you the 30 free spins.
But that’s not all my dear chums, because along with the extra spins, any wins you make during this bonus feature will receive a x3 multiplier.
Truly excellent news!
Gamble Feature
If you’re feeling particularly lucky – try your hand at this gamble bonus. After each win, the Gamble button will pop up in front of you. You can choose either to collect the dosh that you’ve won or to Gamble it and double the amount.
Now you’ll have to guess whether the next card turned is red or black. Get the answer right, and you will double your bankroll. Get it wrong and you’ll lose the lot. So, as you can imagine, it’s not for the faint hearted…
You can have a maximum of five goes, each round unlocking the next after every successful guess. Good luck!
The Monkey Verdict
While Hot Blizzard slot isn’t the flashiest game I’ve ever had the privilege to play, (or even the most exciting), but the Free Spins round makes up for it. Plus, its simple gameplay and varied bet level means players who are new to slots and slot veterans alike will both enjoy it.
