Hot Mania: Stack Nine Fruit for One Big Spin of the Wheel

Hot Mania is Evoplay’s classic fruit slot machine that runs on a 3x3 grid with 5 paylines. Besides the symbols paying up to 200x your bet, there’s a booster wheel that can increase a win up to 21x.

The Hot symbol leads the paytable at 200x, sevens follow at 50x, and the fruits pay from 1x for cherries to 20x for watermelons. You need three of the same symbol on a line to win, which I never managed in my 100-spin, hard-to-watch session. I was wondering if the machine even worked.

The only spark of enthusiasm I had during my whole session was when I hoped to land the wheel feature. Nine of the same fruit across the grid start it, and that win becomes your initial prize. The wheel has five Win, two End and one Booster segment.

Every Win pays one more initial prize and turns into an End. The Booster pays one and raises all Win segments by another initial prize each round, up to 6x. It keeps spinning until it hits an End, so nine watermelons can reach 2,200x your bet.

The lack of wilds, other special symbols and free spins helped my balance drain even faster. Overall, while I guess the wheel feature can be an interesting one, I doubt I’ll ever think of spinning Hot Mania again.
