Hot Hot Volcano is an online slot game that was developed by NextGen who are known for good quality graphics and multiple game features. The reels are set on a five reel and three row layout with twenty five pay lines spread across the grid. Only one coin can be bet on each of the twenty five pay lines but the coin size varies from the minimum value of 0.01 up to the maximum value of 4.00.
Hot Hot Volcano Theme and Symbols
The theme of Hot Hot Volcano is as the name states all about a hot erupting volcano. The reels are set on a view of the volcano from within a lush jungle where some of the jungle’s creatures are those that adorn the reels. The lizard is the highest valued regular symbol and will award 3 to 500 coins for landing two to five times on an active pay line when the maximum bet is in play.
The colourful bird awards 3 to 250 coins for landing two to five times while the monkey and the fruit bunch award 15 to 200 coins for landing three to five times all with a maximum bet in play. The standard nine, ten, jack, queen, king and ace playing cards are the lower valued symbols that appear as if they are melting from hot lava. These symbols will award anything from 6 to 150 coins when landing three to five times on an active pay line with a maximum bet.
Hot Hot Volcano Bonus Symbol
The erupting volcano symbol is both the wild and scatter in Hot Hot Volcano pokies. This symbol will only ever appear on the second, third and fourth reels. As a wild symbol the erupting volcano will replace any other regular symbol when it can help create a winning combination. As the wild is also a scatter symbol it will award a 2x multiplier when two appear on the reels and a 5x multiplier if three appear. These multipliers are multiplied by the total bet. If three erupting volcano symbols land on reels two, three and four simultaneously they also trigger the Hot Hot Volcano eruption bonus.
Hot Hot Volcano Eruption Bonus
The Hot Hot Volcano eruption bonus in the best online pokies is a re spin feature where the symbol on the third reel will erupt and expand to fill all the positions on the reel. This reel will be held for five free spins. After each free spin any random symbol on one of the other reels will erupt into an extra wild symbol. If the erupting volcano symbol lands simultaneously on the three reels during a free spin, they will only pay out the scatter rewards and not re trigger the volcano eruption bonus game.
Hot Hot Volcano Gamble Feature
Like in several other pokies in New Zealand, the Hot Hot Volcano online slots gamble feature is activated after any winning spin. This is not compulsory to play but the winning amount can be doubled or quadrupled with a simple guessing game. The aim is to guess whether a playing card will be red or black to double up the win or guess what suit the card will be. This feature can be played five consecutive times if guesses are correct. Wrong guesses result in the winning amounts being lost just as when playing online casino slots.
