Hot Pots

A pool of magma bubbles beneath the reels in Hot Pots, a chilli-pepper themed release from Reflex Gaming built for Stakelogic's Greenlogic programme, played across a 5x3, 20-payline grid where cartoonish pepper characters keep the underworld setting from tipping into anything too sinister. The game runs across any device.

J through A royals form the entry-level paytable, moving up through three cartoon pepper characters and the game's own logo as the top symbols; five-of-a-kind wins pay 1x to 5x for the low end and 10x to 25x for the highs. A pepper-themed wild substitutes for any paying symbol and is worth up to 25x for five in a row, though it never appears naturally — it only reaches the reels through the Wild Boost mechanic.

Landing a Hot Chilli symbol in Hot Pots sets off one of three Wild Boost outcomes: Rivers of Fire drops one to four stacked wilds onto the grid, Wild Fire adds two to eight plain wilds, and Red Hot Wilds places two to eight wilds each carrying its own multiplier of x2 to x20, with only one multiplier counted per line. Betting doubles under the optional Super Stake mode, which also raises the odds of triggering free spins and pushes volatility from 3 out of 5 up to 5 out of 5.

Scatters can land on reels 1, 3 and 5, with reel 3 additionally able to produce Super or Mega scatter variants. Three regular scatters open 8 free spins, swapping one for a Super scatter lifts that to 12, and a Mega scatter in the same combination takes it to 16. Wild Boost triggers behave differently inside the bonus round: the first one locks its wilds in place and awards a single respin, a second trigger during the same round doubles that to two respins, and every trigger after that awards three respins each time. Landing three scatters at any point during the feature also adds eight more spins on top of the original award.

A gamble option sits behind any win, offering a double-or-nothing card colour call or a 4x payout for correctly guessing the suit, with an incorrect guess forfeiting the win entirely.

Hot Pots carries a top RTP of 95.21%, falling as low as 88.01% depending on the configuration in use, and its volatility swings between 3/5 and 5/5 depending on whether Super Stake is active. Stakes run from 0.20 to 100 per spin, and the game caps out at a 4,000x maximum win.
