Hot Africa Review

Here's a closer look at Hot Africa, a safari-themed release with 5 reels, 3 rows and 15 winlines.

Games with safari themes have been around for a long time, but Hot Africa stands out a little bit thanks to its colorful graphics. Overall, it’s a very fine game in terms of presentation!

Mathematically speaking, Hot Africa comes with a medium volatility level, and its hit frequency is fairly low at 13.08%. The most that you can win in one spin is 674x your bet, and everyone can jump in for bets between £0.20 and £35 per spin. As for Hot Africa’s theoretical RTP, it’s worth mentioning that the package comes with RTP ranges, and that the values on offer go from 88.08% to 97.94%, with 96.07% being the default value.

Hot Africa Slot Features

There are 9 pay symbols in Hot Africa, and they are split into 5 symbols of lower values and 4 symbols of higher values. For the former, there are card ranks from Tens to Aces. On top of that, they can net you up to 20x your bet for a set of five. Then, there are animal symbols, and lions are worth the most. If you line up five lion symbols on a payline, you’ll get a juicy payout worth 100x your bet!

Aside from pay symbols, there are also Wilds and Scatters that you can find in the base game. Wilds even come with their won payout values, while Scatters trigger the Free Spins feature.

If you land 3 or more Scatters, you’ll receive 15 free spins with a base 2x win multiplier. What’s more, you can land special Extra Wilds on the middle reel to double your win multiplier (first to 4x and then to 8x). The win multiplier will reset back to 2x after a win. Note that retriggers are available as well.

Players can then also try to boost their winnings with the Gamble feature, but it’s just your basic card-guessing minigame.

Review Summary

Although there’s no point in trying to pretend that Hot Africa is an excellent release, it’s a classy enough mid-range slot that can entertain fans of safari-themed games for a session or two.
