Symbols

Hot Shots is all about the animals and symbols are no less than this except for the low-paying ones. Speaking of which, expect the usual suspects – A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9 playing cards.

Joining them are the 5 animals representing their respective countries. First off, for France you have the cockerel bearing a beret, for England, there’s a bulldog enjoy a cuppa offering up to 40x your bet.

Next, you have a bull representing Spain with up to 100x your stake up for grab sand a massive cat playing the samba representing Brazil offering a cool 200 times your bet for 5 on the line.

While this is a joyous competition, the host, a Russian bear, seems agitated and getting on his good side will be a dreaded task. Thankfully, he’s also the most lucrative symbol. Land 3, 4 or 5 on the reels and you’ll receive 25, 80 or 500 times your bet.

Also helping you form more lucrative combinations is the wild symbol represented by the ball. Don’t forget that the wild will only appear on reels 3, 4, and 5. Finally, there’s a scatter symbol played by the game’s logo.

Bonuses

Central to Hot Shot’s feature section is the Free Spins feature. To activate it, you’ll need at least 3 Logo scatter symbols on the reels. Once you get a crack at it, this is what will await you:

• 10 free spins + 4 times your bet for 3 scatter symbols
• 15 free spins + 6 times your bet for 4 scatter symbols
• 20 free spins + 10 times your bet for 5 scatter symbols

It gets even better because all the wins you get while on this feature will get a 3x boost. Furthermore, if you land additional scatter symbols while on the feature, you’ll get extra free spins.

Remember the expanding wild? Well, look out for it in the Free Spins feature because it appears it’s fond of this section. If it appears, it will cover up to five reel positions for massive wins.

RTP

Hot Shots slot offers a 97.15% Return to Player (RTP). For a slot that doesn’t offer a ton of bonus features, this is quite impressive.

Volatility

Hot Shots is a medium to high variance video slot game, offering players regular wins over short periods. However, players should expect to go on long dry spells before landing a win.

Graphics

The action takes place in the Russian woods, not the best place for a typical football game, let alone the world cup. However, the main characters are animals and this is their natural habitat. The sandy pitch where the game will take place is in the middle of the forest.

Cheering you on is an ear-blasting crowd roaring from the stands every time you spin the reels.

Payout

With the bear offering 500 times your bet, placing the maximum stake (125 coins) will see you get a maximum of 62,500 coins. The Free Spins feature, though, offers mind-blowing wins courtesy of the expanding wilds, not forgetting the mandatory 3x boost for every win.

Verdict

For the staunch football fans, anything football-related is welcome with open arms and Hot Shots will draw you once you set eyes on it. Starting with its visuals, iSoftBet did an amazing job of pairing the jungle with a football theme. The soundtrack will also get you upbeat in readiness for the action.

Nevertheless, you’ll love the expanding wild that occupies 5 reel positions, giving you numerous winning opportunities. However, what will capture your attention is the Free Spins feature that boasts multipliers and a treble for every win on the feature.

Overall, Hot Shots from iSoftBet isn’t all action-packed but if you’re an animal lover, you’ll like it. Even better if you’re a football fan and an animal lover.
