Hot Wheels Slot Machine
Nothing screams more of freedom than the open road in the great American West. Nothing with perhaps the exception of a bike road trip on said open road.
Hot Wheels takes this premise and transforms it into a fun slot machine game, filled with second-degree humour and an overwhelming feeling of freedom, there aren't that many bike slots out there, with only the official Harley slot springing straight to mind. There is no better feeling than feeling the wind on your face as the landscape zooms past your eyes. And if you cannot embark on a road trip just now, Hot Wheel is there to give you a nice preview with extra cash rewards on top.
So put your favourite helmet on and let’s dive into the universe of Hot Wheels…
Nothing Beats the Open Road
Hot Wheels puts the Wild American West in the forefront of the action, so expect so breath-taking views of the open road to populate your game.
You will be playing on a semi-transparent set of five reels with a maximum of 20 paylines drawn across it. The whole background shows a view of the barren desert, overwhelmingly flat and with only a few rocky hills and cliffs in the distance. A long and straight road splits the screen in two right in the middle, with a leather-clad biker riding his machine and facing the players. The landscape zooms past as you play the game, with sleek 3D animations.
The musical atmosphere is definitely rock ’n’ roll, fitting the whole biker theme perfectly. Throw in some efficient sound effects and animations after each win, and you have a beautifully designed video slot game that guarantees total immersion into a fun universe.
Setting Out for the Perfect Road Trip
Before you begin your epic journey on the road, it is best to review the rules of Hot Wheels to make sure that you put all chances on your side to win big cash rewards along the way.
You will find most of the commands you need at the bottom left-hand corner of the game screen. There, you will be able to modify the coin value, the amount of your wager and the number of activated paylines with just a few clicks. You may also use the numbered side tabs that flank the reels on both sides to activate of deactivate as many paylines as you wish. Remember that you are free to play as risky as you want: the potential rewards will only grow bigger! Hit the Bet Max shortcut on the right side to go all-in, if you are feeling particularly lucky.
Once you are satisfied with your settings, click the Spin button to validate your choice and let the reels spin loose. Only winning sequences of symbols landing on activated paylines will trigger cash rewards, which can add up fast! Use the Auto Roll feature in order to let the reels spin for a predetermined number of times. That’s the perfect option for those who do not like to be interrupted.
Reviewing the Paytable
Hot Wheels has a classic gameplay, but the symbols have some surprises in store so be ready for that.
Firstly, the basic menu consists of eight different basic symbols. Winning combinations here consist of several of those symbols lined up in a sequence on an activated payline. Some of the highest-paying symbols start paying out with sequences of only two symbols.
All these symbols are inspired by the Hot Wheels theme: you will find on the reels a Toolkit, a Map, a Gas Station, a Pack of Cigarettes, Bike Keys, a Route 66 Road Sign, a Bike Helmet (adorned with the American flag, of course) and a Motel Sign.
Extra Surprises on the Road
You will see a few special symbols on the reels of Hot Wheels, starting with the Energy Drink. Collect three or more of this Scatter symbol anywhere on the reels in order to win five Free Spins and to trigger the Adrenaline Mode.
In Adrenaline Mode, the Biker symbol acts as the Wild card of the game and can replace any of the basic symbols listed below to create extra winning combinations. During this special game mode, four different levels of Bonuses can be triggered by collecting Biker symbols. By doing so, an extra Multiplier is awarded with up to a x100 payout Bonus at level four!
Wheely Good Fun
Hot Wheels has many fun elements players will fall in love with: its atmosphere, the 3D graphics and the Adrenaline Mode are only a few of them. Beginners and veterans alike will find their way around the gameplay in a matter of minutes.
The basic rewards might be a little less impressive than what some players might be used to, but the possibility to multiply them over and over in Adrenaline Mode makes up for this small drawback.
