Hot Potato

The Hot Potato slot machine by Thunderkick takes place in the streets of New York, with yellow taxis and buildings around in a clean and well-arranged area. But Hot Potato is causing chaos, exploding, and leaving a mess on the streets.

Hot Potato is driven by cluster pay mechanics, with 5 symbols needed to make a winning combination. The most interesting part? When Hot Potato explodes, it leaves multipliers behind, and if you form winning combinations on the market spots of the grid, they will be multiplied. The potential Hot Potato max win is 10,000x your bet, boasting highly volatile gameplay.

This hot slot game has a wide area consisting of 7 reels, 7 rows, and 49 symbols in view. To make a winning combination, you must match at least 5 identical symbols on the reels. Then, the Avalanche feature will be activated to resolve winning symbols and replace empty positions with new or existing symbols. The feature continues as long as a new win is awarded, with the total win paid out at the end of the Avalanche feature.

The Exploding Wild symbol may land and explode randomly during spins or the Avalanche feature, or it might appear automatically and explode within a Cluster Pay region.

This symbol eradicates all symbols within a 3x3 multiplier grid surrounding and beneath it. Each cell within the underlying grid starts with a multiplier of 2x. Should additional Exploding Wild symbols arrive and explode atop an existing multiplier grid, the multiplier will double (up to a maximum of 128x) for the overlapping grid cells.

Remember that no Hot Potato tricks are available that can affect the probability of getting the maximum win. The game is working on the RNG software, so all combinations are randomly chosen and out of player control.

Hot Potato How to Win

The primary action at Hot Potato revolves around the main character, Hot Potato. Thunderkick has incorporated many interesting features in this slot machine that have good potential. Below, we'll explain them all.

• Exploding Wilds: Exploding Wilds can land by chance like all other symbols on the grid or be generated when you make winning clusters. After making a winning combination, the wild will explode in a 3x3 area, leaving a 2x multiplier behind.
• Multiplier Grid: The multiplier will be doubled when a new wild explodes in the same area. For example, if a wild explodes in a 2x area, it will double the multiplier in the same positions at 4x, 8x, and 16x, up to a maximum of 128x.
• Free Spins: The Hot Potato Free Spins are activated when you land 3 scatter symbols on the reels, awarding you 10 free spins. The action in the Hot Potato Bonus game is basically the same, with the difference that the multiplier grid never resets and remains persistent.
• Bonus Buy Feature: The bonus buy game is available for 100x your bet with a guaranteed 3 scatters and 10 free spins.

Hot Potato by Thunderkick offers gameplay you hardly find in other slot games. You'll see true multiplier madness, with wilds exploding on the grid and the multiplier grid, which can be potentially very rewarding.
