40 Burning Hot

Wilds, scatters, jackpots, and some burning hot wins await in this slot developed by EGT.

At first look:

The game actually seems a bit confusing, which is a rare thing for a slot to accomplish. Clearly, the EGT company has their own style.

Or, the game is simply a port from a land-based casino version without much optimization. In either case, it is pretty easy to get into the game after a few spins.

But, is there a reason to keep on spinning after that?

Theme

The theme here is not a very complicated one, and in the bigger picture actually part of a larger series of similar games.

The symbols are mostly fruits with a few other classics thrown in and some special symbols that tie in with the series.

The game doesn’t really have any audio effects to talk about, which further reinforces the idea that this might just be a simple port.

What you are looking at is pretty much a classic slot with some added functions.

Betting Options and Functions

Even though it seems like there are options to choose how many pay-lines you want in on the action, I couldn’t figure out a way to change them, nor does there really seem to be a way.

Perhaps just a leftover graphic from the original? In any case, there are 40 pay-lines that connect from left to right. There are 5 reels, each with four rows.

The bet is chosen from five different options, which is definitely a letdown in this age and time. Still, you can go low or high as you wish, from one to twenty coins per pay-line.

The TOP prize comes with 5 sevens and is 3000x the line bet.

Scatters pay even more, but they are understandably scarce. From these high wins, the prizes go down quick, with most five symbol combinations paying out a pittance.

Features

The gamble feature can be used to double any win, with the equal chance of losing the whole win. This is done through the usual trick of choosing either black or red card.

There are TWO different Scatters, but both of these only pays out scatter wins and do not trigger any features.

The only real feature here, therefore, are the jackpots!

These trigger completely at random and come in four different sizes. The jackpot game itself is played by choosing cards from a selection of twelve until you have three matching cards, which in turn triggers the corresponding jackpot. The figures are not in millions, but they are enough to call it a day and enjoy your wins.

Our Take

There’s not really all that much to say about this slot. It offers some wins, not all that many features, and it comes with mediocre graphics and a minimal amount of sound effects.

If you’re up to chasing the wins or the jackpots, you might give this one a spin. Or try out some other games from the rich EGT portfolio.
