Super Hot Fruits Megaways
We were drawn towards Super Hot Fruits Megaways for a handful of reasons, the main one being that this old-school Fruit Machine-themed slot from Inspired Entertainment had been boosted with the legendary Megaways mechanic! It's genuinely not too often that you see a classic-style slot given the Megaways treatment, so we just had to give this 5-reel, 116,649 ways to win slot a spin ourselves in order to find out what it's all about.
Considering this game's predecessor Super Hot Fruits gained over one billion lifetime plays it hardly comes as a surprise that this slot eventually cropped up... So, if you're ready for high-octane gameplay featuring adjacent pays, Hot Spins and hundreds of thousands of ways to win then you've come across the right game.
Design
Super Hot Fruits Megaways is pretty much your stereotypical classic fruit-machine style slot, if this is your bag then we think you'll truly enjoy this game... If not, then you might be a little bit underwhelmed as it really is a blast from the past and not for everyone.
The reels are plain black, featuring classic fruit machine symbols. Low paying symbols include watermelon, plum, grapes, lemon, orange, cherries and a bell. High paying symbols include a blue 7, a flaming 7 and a royal crown. The game's special symbol is a a blue square box with the word 'WILD' written within it.
Unfortunately, there's no soundtrack to speak of during base gameplay, except your typical Vegas slot machine noises when the reels spin and wins are registered. That being said, there is an upbeat soundtrack that plays during Hot Spins... Why they couldn't have just included this music during base gameplay, we're not so sure?
Gameplay
Base gameplay couldn't be simpler, players spin the reels and register wins in the same manner they would with any Megaways slot... However, it's the Hot Spins feature that makes this slot a little bit more complex than most games of its type. Whenever players triggers a winning combination worth more than 4x their stake then they'll trigger the Hot Spins feature.
This sees players offered the opportunity to spin 4 separate sets of game reels at 100% RTP for the cost of 4x their original base game stake. Players can opt to take their original winnings and continue playing the base game instead of playing these special spins.
With regards to navigating the slot, players can access a game menu and change their stake using buttons on the left side of the game reels, whilst the spin and autospin buttons are found on the right-hand side... It's that simple!
Win Potential
This high volatility slot has an RTP of 94% (which we suspect is low due to the fact that the hot spins feature offers players an RTP of 100%) and a maximum win potential of 10,000x the player's stake.
Our Verdict
Super Hot Fruits Megaways most certainly won't be to everyone's liking, but it's still an enjoyable slot, especially if you're a fan of high-stakes, high-octane gameplay. You can put a lot on the line with the Hot Spin feature, and for some players with a decent bankroll then that's a huge draw.
