Shining Hot 100 Slots

The graphics in Shining Hot 100 are purposefully retro- which I appreciated. I went in knowing what to expect as I've played the previous games in the series. Despite the simple theme, there is something special about Shining Hot 100. The symbols within this board are what you'd expect - there are fruits, and other classic luck symbols often associated with slots. Not all retro games have this many pay lines, which is a little unusual and gives the game an edge over the other classic slots on the market.

Betting

You'll need to bet a minimum of 1 coin per active line, so the minimum bet is not for the penny pinchers of the slot world. The minimum bet that can be made is $1. However, I think high rollers would appreciate how far this maxes out. Most games like this stop around $100 or $200 per spin, but this game goes all the way up to a massive $500 per spin. If you need to think on the slot before making any bets that large, don't fret - that's exactly what demo mode is for. You can play it instantly, just pull it up on your webpage and you're good to go. You can also play this game on your chosen mobile device - whether you are an Android lover or an iPhone fan. This allows you to take this vintage slot with you in the most modern way - conveniently tucked into your pocket.

Symbols

Since this is an unusual format, it almost doesn't feel like a classic slot machine at times, but I was reminded when I got a gander at the symbols available. When slots started gaining traction in the casino industry, many of them were focused on classic fruit games. Many of these games have survived and continue to even grow in popularity, so I thought Shining Hot 100 was a good twist on an old favorite that felt similar to a land casino experience. The symbols are a lemon, a pair of cherries, an orange, and a red apple. The bell is the scatter symbol, and the fire diamond is the wild symbol. These are the most valuable symbols and unlock special payouts or features.

Features

One of the most helpful symbols in this game is the fire diamond, which is the game's wild. Wilds can help you form winning combinations by substituting for whatever symbol you might be missing along a pay line. The only symbol it cannot substitute for is the scatter, and this is all pretty standard in comparison to other slots I've played but is a good feature nonetheless. If you trigger multiple wilds on one pay line, you'll win up to 25x your stake. When the fire bell lands anywhere on the reels, there's a good chance you'll receive a nice payout. Trigger anywhere from 3 to 5 of these babies, regardless of where the symbols land, and you'll be paid up to 200x the stake for five symbols. Overall, this was a fitting ending to an amazing retro slot series.
