Multi Hot 5: Squeeze the Reels for Up to 5x Multipliers

SmartSoft Gaming is inviting us to spin on their three-by-three grid in Multi Hot 5. I like the green backdrop, it's not the usual shiny, eye-catching one, but kind of elegant. The only feature on top of the regular fruits is the multiplier reel that goes up to 5x, with the gamble on top, so there are means to win.

Base game wins were disappointing, as I landed something every ten or more spins, and those came in around 1x my bet at best. Sevens lead, then the double dollars and bells, with watermelon and grapes on their own tier and plums, lemons, oranges, and cherries at the bottom. Sevens pay seven and a half times that bottom group, and the game caps at 145x, so unless they fill the screen you are basically collecting small change.

The feature I placed my hopes into is the multiplier reel. It runs down the left of the grid, turns up whenever it feels like it, and carries 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x, applied to that spin's win. Therefore I was double disappointed, because it had almost nothing to multiply, and whenever it did, my luck said I'd get 1x over and over.

So my session became a loop of me waiting for anything to win, and using the gamble to make most of it. It works on the common principle where you call red or black on a face-down card, a correct guess doubles your win and a wrong one takes it. The most I got was 8x my bet, off three straight correct calls on a 1x win.

Overall, as you can see, there's not much good to say about my time with this slot. That doesn't mean the game is no-good. I like the simplicity, and I think the multiplier can be a game-changer.
