It might look like a simple fruit machine but it packs quite the rum punch

Novomatic’s Xtra Hot slot machine is a very simple game to play. It comes with no free spins or bonus features, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a lot of fun to play online.

There’s no denying it; at first glance you might open up this video slot and think that the graphics are basic, even when compared to it’s sister slots Book of Ra or Lord of the Ocean.

There’s no way 5 reels with nothing more than fruits, bars, 7’s and stars are not going to hold your attention for long. Right?

Wrong. Because that is exactly what we thought, and 30 minutes later we were still spinning in that hope of lining up some of those juicy stacked fruits and getting the wins we deserved for our patience.

And that’s what you will have to be here. Patient.

Play smart, rather than big

We would put this Xtra Hot slot machine on the higher side of a medium variance slot. What does that mean? Expect a fair amount of dead spins where winning seems but a far away dream.

However, usually you can get a good run of small to medium wins of around 2 – 5x our bet. Then a good 15 – 20 spins of nothing at all. This then followed by some more smaller wins…

Until that glorious moment we managed to line up 3 reels of oranges and receive 60x our bet for our troubles.

Which managed to top up our balance quite nicely indeed. And that’s just the rind of the kind of juicy wins you can trigger in this Xtra Hot slot game.

How did we do it? It’s all down to the high paying symbols and the multipliers that come with 3 or more stacked reel wins. More on those in a moment.

Win up to 5000x your bet

Yeap, you read that right. This online slot might only have 5 pay lines and no free spins to get your heart racing, but what it lacks in that department, the Xtra Hot video slot more than makes up for in multipliers and stacked symbols.

The highest paying symbol on these reels is the elusive 7, next up is the bar and then the star which acts as the scatter symbol.

The scatter symbol, unlike all the others, pays when 3 or more appear on any position on the reels. All others have to pay left to right.

But it’s those stacked symbols that come in very handy.

Get 3 or more reels full of stacked symbols and you will get 5 pay lines worth of winnings. Then for each reel that is covered in symbols you get a x1 multiplier.

So for 3 stacked reels wins, you get a 3x multiplier. For 5 you get the maximum 5x multiplier. It’s that simple.

Why play Xtra Hot slot online?

Well this is one of those online slot machines that keeps on surprising us. It’s got a minimum bet of only 0.05 up to a massive maximum bet of 400 per spin.

That pretty much gives all types of players, and sizes of casino budgets, the chance at a good run of spins.

And what’s crazy here is that if you do bet the maximum 400 on a spin you could be walking away with 2 million by getting a screen full of 7’s.

This is probably a slot game that gets overlooked by some of the far more graphically beautiful slots from NetEnt or free spins hungry WMS games.

Yet, with a decent RTP of 95.66% and the potential to win big, it’s definitely one we’ll be coming back to when we fancy some simple yet exhilarating spins.
