Hot Slot: Magic Pearls Review

The Hot Slot™ series started out as a simple and barebones fruit slot, and Wazdan has since decided to take things up several notches. Hot Slot™: Magic Pearls is also part of their ongoing Hold the Jackpot series, and this feature is the main attraction. Bonus symbols are sticky for one spin in this release, which makes it easier to trigger the feature.

The 5x5 grid is filled with fruit symbols and “magic pearl” bonus symbols, and it’s all set against a fiery backdrop with the 4 jackpots on display on the right-hand side. These can be won in the Hold the Jackpot feature, which comes with mystery symbols, collect symbols and a brand new double collect symbol. The Grand Jackpot cracks the 2,500x win cap.

Hot Slot™: Magic Pearls Slot Features

You need between 10 and 22+ matching symbols anywhere in view to win. The premium fruit symbols pay between 0.5 and 2 x your stake for 10, and between 50 and 200 x your stake for 22+ in sight. The Wild symbol steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, but it cannot substitute for bonus symbols.

You need 6+ bonus symbols of any kind to trigger the Hold the Jackpot feature, and all bonus symbols are sticky for one spin if you land 3, 4 or 5 of them.

The cash bonus symbols come with prizes between 1x and 10x, and you can also land Mini, Minor and Major jackpot symbols worth 20x, 50x and 150x your stake, respectively. Collector symbols collect all regular cash prizes, while the Double Collector collects all cash prizes (including from the collector and double collector symbols) and doubles the total value.

You can also land Mystery Symbols during the Hold the Jackpot round, and these reveal a random bonus symbol of any kind at the end of the feature. All bonus symbols are summed up and paid when you run out of spins. If you manage to fill the grid however, you win the 2,500x Grand Jackpot that’s also the game’s win cap.

Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can check out the Bonus Buy menu via the shopping cart icon.

The 200 Spins Hot Slot™: Magic Pearls Slot Experience

After a near-miss teaser in the base game, we decided to buy the Extreme Volatility Hold the Jackpot feature. This happens around 0:50 into the 3-minute highlights video, and you can see for yourself how it all played out by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Wazdan continues their Hold the Jackpot range with yet another installment, and you either like their unique style, or you don’t. It might be an acquired taste, but we have learned to enjoy their games by now at least. The pace is excellent with 3 different options, and you also get to choose your preferred volatility. No other developers offer this kind of flexibility, which is commendable.

We also like that they keep tweaking the bonus symbol modifiers in more or less every release, at least to a certain degree. There aren’t any dramatically new innovations to be seen in Hot Slot™: Magic Pearls to be fair, but the double collector symbol can make a solid dent if it appears towards the end of the feature. The 2,500x potential could have been higher perhaps, and Wazdan could consider different max wins for each volatility setting.

Pros

• Choose pace and volatility from 3 settings
• 3-5 bonus symbols are sticky for 1 spin
• Hold the Jackpot w/ new Double Collector
• Win up to 2,500x your stake

Cons

• Grand Jackpot forfeits all other feature wins
