The Habanero provider offers us to celebrate Halloween with a 5×5 reels slot named Hot Hot Halloween™. A single feature, and wilds in the form of illuminated pumpkins that will come to entertain us with symbols that are not really scary... On the contrary, they will rather make us smile. So cute and in the service of a fortuitous payoff! With graphics that remind us of a cartoon, we will try to trigger the Hot Hot Halloween to win delicious prizes.
Halloween is one of the most important dates in the American and Canadian holiday calendar. Some Latin American countries that know this holiday have their own traditions and celebrations on this day, although they coincide with the meaning: the union or closeness of the world of the living and the kingdom of the dead.
In Europe, there are many cities where young people have wanted to import the way in which the United States conceives Halloween with parties and disguises. In some places like the UK the original festival has been re-established. The fact that this festival has come to our days is to some extent due to the publicity generated by American cinema.
The image of American children running through the dark streets dressed as elves, ghosts and demons asking for treats from the inhabitants of a dark and quiet neighbourhood remains etched in many people's memories. That night, the spirits visited the homes of their loved ones and in order not to be disturbed by the spirits, the villagers put a lit candle in their window.
If there was a candle for the repose of the soul of each deceased person in the window then the spirits did not disturb their loved ones, but if there was none then the spirits disturbed them all night long, causing them to have terrible nightmares. The internationalisation of Halloween occurred in the late 1970s and early 1980s thanks to television and film series.
The lit pumpkin will be the wild in the base game and the double lit pumpkin will be the wild in the Hot Hot feature. The wilds will only appear on reels 1, 2, 4 and 5 in the Hot Hot Halloween™ game and will not only pay out symbols. The Hot Hot feature will be able to be triggered at random on any spin.
Each symbol whether strong (lit pumpkin, purple coffin, blue ghost, green fingers, the yellow star) or weak (the pink round, green triangle, blue diamond and purple pentagon) will turn into a double symbol in the feature and will count as two symbols.
Each 7 symbol with horns on the Hot Hot Halloween™ reels will randomly change into 3 symbols in the feature and count as three symbols. If three or more pumpkin wild symbols appear left to right or right to left on the reels, a pumpkin symbol plus double pumpkin symbol on reels 1 and 2, or reels 4 and 5 will trigger 6 free games.
If three or more wild symbols appear left to right and right to left on the reels of Hot Hot Halloween™ will trigger 12 free games. Single or double symbols will have to land on reels 1 and 2 and 4 and 5. Any symbol in a winning combination will lock in the remaining free games, excluding the triggering game.
Blocked Hot Hot Halloween™ game symbols may be doubled or tripled and will remain for the rest of the games. A maximum of 24 symbols can lock in any order. Free games will be played on the same bet level as the game that triggered them. The feature cannot be retriggered.
Symbols will pay if they are adjacent to each other for each line in the Hot Hot Halloween™ game. All combinations with at least one non-wild symbol will pay out per line and the different wins will be added and will be multiplied by the bet level. Row 1 will multiply the winnings by 1, Row 2 will multiply the winnings by 2, Row 3 will multiply the winnings by 3, Row 4 will multiply the winnings by 2 and Row 5 will multiply the winnings by 1.
Habanero provider brings us this 3D slot to celebrate the arrival of Halloween. In the middle of the not too scary night by the way it brings us a nice slot with nice symbols floating on the reels and when they combine offer us shivering wins! The interface of Hot Hot Halloween™ is in dark and purple tones from which the symbols will stand out, lit candles, light bulbs that are hanging...
The graphic design is very well done, very similar to a nice cartoon, we are far from horror, but it's not bad! The soundtrack, super animated, funky, puts a lot of atmosphere to the game, animates us to keep playing. The special effects are also very good and moreover this Hot Hot Halloween™ instant slot is very colourful and rewarding. If you like Halloween/Horror slots, Habanero Systems also offers you the chance to play The Deap Escape (2022), Haunted House (2022) and/or Mummy Money (2022).
As usual with the Habanero software we don't have any data on the return to the player. On the other hand, the volatility is high and it is true that the player does not have to wait too many spins to see the Hot Hot Halloween™ feature trigger or get free games. The player is going to be happy. It's true that this is a slot quality that players particularly like.
The Hot Hot Halloween™ features and free games activate quite often and the winnings fall quite quickly which is a very good point for the Habanero software. In fact, there are only two features, but there are win multipliers and free spins. Granted it's a bit simple compared to what you can find on the market but this Habanero cash game is very fun and rewarding.
The coin values of the Hot Hot Halloween™ game range from €0.01 to €25, 10 bet levels and 20 coins per line. The player will be able to choose exactly what they want so they can tailor the bets to their possibilities. It's nice to be able to choose and shape their bets, the player gets a little more involved and takes control of the game and their money and that's very good for them. The minimum bets will be 0.20 up to €200 which covers a very large part of the audience. It's well thought out!
Despite a distinct lack of features, no jackpot, the Hot Hot Halloween™ instant slot is still an entertaining and quite rewarding machine. In short, what any player is looking for, whether he is experienced or not. The interface is pleasant as is the soundtrack which makes it a good game well inked in the Halloween theme. At first, the player might think it's a bit childish but it's well worth a try!
