Xtreme Summer Hot

Refreshed Hot Review

This game provides a steady experience. It gets the job done in one way or another. This title is a great example of that. It’s not a blockbuster slot, but it can certainly keep you interested for a session or two! Let’s kick off with the playing field, which is standard and features 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines.

Thematically, this title is a fairly basic summer-themed slot that wants to please players with refreshing fruits and a calm background that has palms set against a sunset. The audiovisuals are slick, and we have no complaints about how it all looks and feels. It’s nothing original, true, but we don’t expect every single new release to bring flashy stuff to the table.

This title is a low volatility slot, and its hit frequency clocks in at 20.74%. That means that you’ll get a win once per 5 spins on average, and the average payout is fairly high at 4.64x your bet. Players can choose from all sorts of stakes, too. While low rollers can risk as little as £0.20 per spin, high rollers can go straight for the £100 max bet. The slot’s theoretical RTP is then above average as well, as it stands at 96.29% in the base game. Interestingly, you can even boost it to 97.49% by using the Buy Feature option.

You can enjoy a set of 8 pay symbols, and they are evenly split between low-paying symbols and high-paying symbols. For the former, there are cherries, lemons, strawberries, and blueberries, all of which pay 5x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination. For the latter, there are melons, raspberries, limes, and bells. Bells are worth the most, and you’ll get a juicy 100x payout for a set of five.

There are two special symbols as well, Seven Wilds and Star Scatters. Seven Wilds are important for the slot’s main gameplay feature, while Star Scatters pay out from all positions. If you find 5 of them anywhere on the playing board, you’ll win 50x your bet!

The main gameplay feature is tied to its Seven Wilds. Seven Wilds are Wild symbols that substitute for other symbols in winning combos, and they can appear only on the middle three reels. Whenever they land, they automatically expand to cover an entire reel, and they also trigger the Expanding Wilds Respins feature. This feature will bring you a free respin with the Wild still in place, so you can get more than just a single win out of Seven Wilds!

For 15x your bet, you can activate the Buy Feature option on any spin. Doing so guarantees a Seven Wild symbol, and you’ll naturally get a respin as a result as well. Using this option also boosts the slot’s theoretical RTP to 97.49%.

You can also try to boost your wins via the Gamble feature, which is all about guessing the color of a face-down card. Guess right, and you’ll double your payout. Guess wrong, and you’ll lose it all. You can gamble up to 5 times per one payout, and you can also disable the feature entirely if you don’t want it to distract you.

Review Summary

This title is a slot best played in brief sessions. It’s not deep, and there’s only one gameplay feature, but it has a refreshing atmosphere, and its mathematical model works for all low rollers. If you want to take a break from all those complex releases, you can’t go wrong by giving this title a shot!
