Heat Hit Hold ‘n’ Link

Heat Hit Hold ‘n’ Link Review

This studio seems to have found its niche in the Hold ‘n’ Link feature. We get the appeal of that formula. In any case, it’s definitely the main highlight here, and it allows you to win big if you get lucky. We’ll walk you through all the ins and outs going forward, but let’s start with the game’s playing field. By default, it has 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win, but you can expand it to have up to 5 reels, 8 rows and 32,768 ways to win!

Thematically, Heat Hit is a fruit slot with a twist. While the symbols are entirely classic, the playing field is placed in the middle of a volcano, and you’ll even get to see some fireballs raining down as you play. That’s fairly neat, and there are plenty of animations to look forward to as well. The bottom line? Heat Hit is certainly easy on the eyes!

The volatility level of Heat Hit is high, and the most that you can win in one go is 7,776x your bet. The slot’s hit frequency is then 16%, which means that you’ll get a win once per about 6 spins on average. You can try your luck for stakes between £0.20 and £20 per spin, while the slot’s theoretical RTP is 96.31%. That’s nicely above average, so no complaints there!

Heat Hit Slot Features

There are 7 pay symbols in Heat Hit, and we reckon that it’s possible to divide them into 6 low pays and just one high pay. For low pays, there are fruit symbols with cherries, lemons, plums, oranges, strawberries, and melons. These symbols can be worth up to 0.3x your bet, and it’s worth noting that strawberries and melons pay out even in sets of two. The lone high pay then has the form of sevens, which pay 1x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination, and which naturally also pay even in sets of two.

In addition to pay symbols, there are Arrow Wilds, Extra Arrow Wilds and Spheres.

Arrow Wilds and Extra Arrow Wilds are the slot’s Wild symbols, which means that they can substitute for other symbols in winning combinations. That’s not all, however, as they also increase the number of rows. While Arrow Wilds give you 2 extra rows, Extra Arrow Wilds increase the height of reels by 3!

Land 6 or more Spheres in view to trigger the Hold ‘n’ Link feature, which starts with 3 respins and which allows all Spheres to stick to the board. Each new Sphere resets the number of respins back to 3, and it all goes on until you run out of respins. You can also end the game by filling the entire board with Spheres, but that’s much less likely.

You can’t land Wilds during the feature, but the reels will automatically expand as soon as you hit 8, 12, 17, 23, and 30 Spheres, respectively. Regular Spheres pay between 1x and 30x your bet, but you can also land special Jackpot Spheres that are worth a bit more. You see, they’ll actually net you the game’s 4 jackpots. They are called Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand, and they are worth 10x, 50x, 250x, and 1,000x your bet, respectively.

Review Summary

Ultimately, Heat Hit is a complete online slot that delivers and that doesn’t come with any rough edges. It has good visuals and a couple of good gameplay ideas, as you can expand your playing field and enjoy nice wins during the Hold ‘n’ Link feature!
