Hot Spin Megaways Review
The Hot Spin concept has been somewhat of a success story for
iSoftBet, and the Megaways version 🏀 seems like a perfect way for the series to
culminate, and end on a high note. At least for the 🏀 time being, as we are sure iSoftBet
has more follow-ups in the works if Hot Spin Megaways is a hit. 🏀 As punters familiar
with the licenced engine can probably imagine, it’s basically the same game as the 2
originals, but 🏀 with more of everything.
The Deluxe version came with some extra
modifiers, but more importantly, a significantly higher potential than the 🏀 first game.
However, that’s peanuts compared to the 50,000x max win you get here. With even more
exciting modifiers from 🏀 the Hot Wheel, as well as cascading dynamic reels, the Megaways
version seems like a no-brainer option compared to the 🏀 predecessors.

Hot Spin Megaways Features
The Cascading Reels feature kicks in
whenever you land a winning 🏀 combo, and this removes all winning symbols from the grid.
You have wilds to help you in that regard, landing 🏀 on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only, and
stepping in for all regular pay symbols. The gaps from the 🏀 removed winning symbols are
filled with new or existing symbols dropping from above, and the process repeats as
long as 🏀 you keep winning.
The Hot Spin Wheel seen on the left-hand side can trigger at
random times, and this awards 1 🏀 of the 9 modifiers we’ll describe briefly below:
Wild -
awards 5 to 8 wilds randomly to the grid.
- awards 5 🏀 to 8 wilds randomly to the grid.
Super Wild - awards 8 to 12 wilds randomly to the grid.
- awards 🏀 8 to 12 wilds randomly
to the grid. In Sync - synchronizes up to 3 reels with matching symbols.

🏀 up to 3 reels with matching symbols. Super In Sync - does the same with up to all 6
reels.
- 🏀 does the same with up to all 6 reels. Wild Reels - turn reels 2, 3 and 4
wild.
- turn 🏀 reels 2, 3 and 4 wild. Super Wild Reels - does the same, but the wild
reels come with multipliers 🏀 of x2, x3 or x5. Mystery Symbols - awards 6 to 10 mystery
symbols randomly placed, and these turn into 🏀 a randomly selected matching symbol.

randomly selected matching symbol. 🏀 Super Mystery Symbols - does the same, but you can
get up to 16 mystery symbols.

- awards the Hot Spin free spins bonus round.
The Hot Spin Bonus Round can also be
triggered when you 🏀 land 4 bonus wheel scatters anywhere in the same cascading sequence.
You get to choose between 4 free spins options 🏀 as follows:
5 free spins with a x5
starting multiplier.
with a starting multiplier. 10 free spins with a x3 starting
multiplier.
with 🏀 a starting multiplier. 15 free spins with a x1 starting
multiplier.
with a starting multiplier. Mystery option - awards 5 to 🏀 15 free spins and
x1 to x5 starting multiplier.
The multiplier increases by +1 per cascading win, and it
applies to 🏀 the next win you get. As is usually the case in Megaways titles, the
multiplier comes with no upper limit, 🏀 and you can also win +3 and +5 extra spins by
landing 2 or 3 scatters during the same cascading 🏀 sequence.
The Free Spins feature
comes with a somewhat different Hot Spin Wheel, and it triggers at random times during
the 🏀 feature. The available bonus round modifiers apply to a single spin when triggered,
and they are as follows:
Random Wilds - 🏀 awards 5 to 12 wilds randomly placed on the
reels.
- awards 5 to 12 wilds randomly placed on the reels. 🏀 Max Megaways - awards a
spin where all 117,649 win ways active.

- increases the multiplier by +3.

The 200 Spins Hot Spin Megaways Experience
The
highlights video starts out rather uneventful, with 🏀 one dead spin after another. Then
we suddenly land 4 scatters around 0:40 into the 2-minute video, and we tried 🏀 our luck
with the Mystery option. This awarded 9 free spins and a x5 starting multiplier, and
you can see 🏀 how much we got away with by hitting the play button below.

Summary
In retrospect, it seems pretty inevitable that iSoftBet’s 🏀 Hot Spin series
culminated in a Megaways release. The Hot Wheel modifiers meshes perfectly with the
dynamic reels grid, as 🏀 well as the cascading wins mechanic. That being said, it would
have been fun to see the thing triggered a 🏀 bit more often. Perhaps a symbol collection
or cyclic trigger would have done it more justice, but you do get 🏀 the enhanced spin on
a semi-regular basis.
The best argument for picking this game over the originals is
undoubtedly the 50,000x 🏀 potential. That’s 10x higher than the Deluxe version (and 100x
the original), and despite the massive max win difference, the 🏀 95.98 % RTP remains
virtually unchanged. If you enjoyed the predecessors, we see no reason why you would
not love 🏀 an installment where everything is bigger, bolder and maxed out. As for new
players, this Megaways version is really the 🏀 only one you need.

If you enjoy Hot 🏀 Spin Megaways you should also try:
Hot
Spin - comes with 6 randomly triggered Hot Spin modifiers in the base game, 🏀 and you get
1 of these on every spin during the bonus round. The max win is only 500x your 🏀 stake in
this original version though, but it’s something to consider if you want to go to the
roots.
Hot Spin 🏀 Deluxe - is pretty similar to the original version, but it comes with
some extra modifiers on the Hot Spin 🏀 Wheel. A notable difference is the 10x multiplier
you can get, which raises the potential max win for this follow-up 🏀 title to 5,000x your
stake.
Joyful Joker Megaways - is a fruit slot inspired title from All41, and it comes
with 🏀 rolling reels and up to 117,649 win ways. Random Joker Wheel Spins award random
starting cascading win multipliers up to 🏀 10x, and the bonus round comes with a
progressive win multiplier for payouts up to 23,000x your stake.
