Flaming Hot is a 2014 fruit slot from EGT, now Amusnet, with five reels, four rows and 40 paylines. It uses classic fruits and sevens, a wild, a dollar scatter, a card gamble and the Jackpot Cards mystery feature with four jackpot levels. There are no free spins. It suits you if you want a busy 40 line fruit game with a jackpot on the side and a lower risk level than most modern video slots.
How does Flaming Hot work?
You play five reels with four rows and 40 paylines. Matching symbols from left to right pay, with sevens at the top of the paytable.
The wild symbol, marked Wild, substitutes for regular symbols to complete lines. The dollar sign is the scatter and pays from any position. A full screen of the same symbol is the route to the biggest regular wins.
Catalogues list a multiplier among its features but do not explain when it applies, so check the paytable in your casino's version for the details. Beyond that, the reels behave like a standard fruit machine: no cascades, no special reels and no bonus round. Each spin is settled straight away, so the pace is quick.
What are the Flaming Hot bonus features?
There is no free spins round. Jackpot Cards Mystery triggers at random on games that show the Jackpot Cards logo. You pick from 12 face-down cards until three of the same suit appear, and the suit decides which of the four jackpot levels you win.
After a win, you can gamble by picking the colour of a face-down card. A correct pick doubles the amount and a wrong one loses it. You can press Collect at any point to keep your winnings.
Is Flaming Hot worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
The listed RTP is 95.53%, below the industry average. Amusnet (formerly EGT) games often come in more than one RTP version, and some catalogues warn that the payout can be much lower at certain casinos. Check the help screen at your casino for the exact figure.
Volatility is rated low to medium. The top regular payout is 1,000x the line bet, so big wins come mostly from the jackpot feature. The figures here come from one independent catalogue, so check the game rules too.
Flaming Hot belongs to the same family as Burning Hot and the Super Hot games, so the look and controls will feel familiar if you have played any of them. Its 40 line layout gives more frequent hits than the 5 line Burning Hot, with smaller average wins.
Tips before you play Flaming Hot
- Check the RTP in the help screen, since it is already below average.
- Look for the Jackpot Cards logo if you want the jackpot feature.
- Collect your wins rather than gambling them repeatedly.
- Start at a low stake, as the bet range goes very high.
- Set a time and loss limit before you play.
