Hot City is a lady’s game, delivered by Net Entertainment and focusing on how beautiful life can be for a girl in the big city. With its pink handbag background, with iPhones, cabs, shopping trips and models drinking cocktails, it’s the kind of game that an active girl would be able to appreciate best. It doesn’t have as much pink as other girly slots, or at least it’s not as powerful here. If life in a big city sounds glamorous and you’d like to experience it some day, give Hot City a try, it’s a surprisingly good slot.
You get the standard 5 reels in Hot City, with a just as average number of paylines, which are 25 total. The prizes will reach $20,000, enough to get you interested, especially since they’re accompanied by scatter symbols, free spins, a bonus game and a wild.
Features of Hot City
The mix of features provided in Hot City includes the typical wild and its prizes, the scatter symbols, free spins, some multipliers and a bonus game.
The wild is easy to recognize, being marked as such, with the image behind the word being that of a couple going in for a kiss, with lit candles in the background. This symbol is placed in the game so that it can act as a substitute for many of the other symbols, the regular ones at least, as the bonus and scatter icons don’t benefit from it. When in the right position, the wild will replace a regular symbol that is missing, so that a combination can be formed. It’s also a symbol that gives away its own prizes, the biggest ones available in the game actually, with 10,000x line bet being offered when five of them take over a payline.
The Just Married Car is a scattered symbol, giving you 1x to 250x the triggering bet in prizes, as long as you have between two and five of them present on the reels, no matter what their location is.
Free Games Feature
The same scatter symbols also give you free spins, in addition to the cash prizes. It starts with 10 free spins, given for three scatters. Four of them will get you 20 free spins. Five, the maximum number, gets you 30 free spins. All these spins have 3x the usual prizes, a multiplier being applied to all of them.
Bonus Game
The bonus symbol is the one with the gift box on it. This is a regular symbol, meaning that it has to appear on a payline and starting from the left, to get you its prize. With a minimum of three bonus icons, you get access to the bonus game.
You are asked to add pairs of shoes to a gift bag that you take home. Each pair you add gets you a cash prize. The moment you get an empty box, the feature ends.
Betting options and jackpots
The bets in Hot City will reach $50 at their highest level, using up to 100 coins to do so. These coins have denomination of $0.01 to $0.50 and 1 to 4 of them are selected for each active payline. The line bets will reach $2 at their highest.
As for the best prizes the slot has to give away, they are worth up to 10,000x line wager, or 40,000 coins. It means $20,000 cash, with the free spins having multipliers of up to 3x which could improve the prize dramatically.
Design and symbols
Though there is quite a bit of pink in Hot City, it’s more subdued compared with many of its competitors. The pink actually comes from the leather like texture of a handbag against which the reels are placed. There are gold and silver necklaces surrounding the reels, a pink cocktail on one side and the big city is visible a bit farther away. The symbols are all of the highest quality, with a mix of beautiful girls and things they could want, including visits to the mall, expensive handbags, smartphones and a night out in the hot city.
Symbols: Romantic Couple (wild, 10,000x), Bonus Gift (bonus), Just Married Car (scatter, 250x triggering bet), Samantha (1,000x), Carrie (500x), Miranda (300x), Charlette (200x), Taxi (150x), Engagement Ring (125x), Handbag (100x) and iPhone (75x).
Is It Worth Playing?
It’s not a game that I will recommend to a red blooded male, but women of all ages might just enjoy it. It certainly has a good enough design to warrant your attention plus the big prizes that do the same.
You will find Hot City at any online casino which chooses to use software from Net Entertainment, playable either for free or for real money.
