Hot Shots Megaways

According to this release, it's not just humans that have developed a love for the most popular sport in the world. Hot Shots Megaways is a football-themed slot that also incorporates a variety of different animals. Due to the theme alone, this slot is unique in its own right. Of course, as the name suggests, Hot Shots also includes one of the best-known mechanics in the realm of online slots, which is Megaways. 

This title was produced by iSoftBet, which focuses on a range of casino games, including slots and table games. Big name slots such as Sheriff of Nottingham, Colossus Hold & Win, and The Magic Orb are all part of their portfolio. It's also clear that iSoftBet are fans of Megaways, a mechanic that they have licensed from Big Time Gaming, as it appears in a majority of their releases. 

First off, we have the regular 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols that are found in most online slots nowadays. Next are a variety of animals that are enjoying the football match, with these acting as the premium symbols in Hot Shots Megaways. There is a cheetah, a chicken, a dog, and a deer, which can award up to 2x, 2.5x, 10x, and 50x the stake size, respectively.

Wild symbols are shown as normal footballs in this slot, with golden footballs being the main scatter icon. The other scatter symbol is represented by a ball with an orange glow, with the logo of Hot Shots Megaways appearing on top.

One of the bonus features in Hot Shots Megaways is modifiers that can randomly appear during the base game. In total, there are three, with the first being known as 'Max Megaways'. This is perhaps the most straightforward modifier, as when it triggers, players are guaranteed to have the maximum number of paylines become active for the spin, which sits at 117,649.

The next modifier is 'Hot Shots Cup', which can trigger the respins bonus mode or create a matching combination. Finally, there is 'Goal Scatters', a modifier that can increase the chance of the bonus being activated during one spin.

'Cash Respins' is the name of the main bonus mode in Hot Shots Megaways, which can be activated when five or more football scatters appear on any reel. Upon triggering, the existing scatter symbols will be held in place, with players being awarded three spins. If another scatter appears, it will also lock in place, with the number of spins being reset back to 3.

Jackpot symbols can also appear during this mode, with a Mini, Major, and Mega prize all being added to the game. These are worth 30x, 100x, and 1,000x the stake size, respectively. At the end of the round, the multipliers on the football scatter symbols will be counted up and applied to the total stake size. Any jackpots will also be added before the potential winnings are awarded to the player.

Hot Shots Megaways is a nice addition to the range of slots offered by iSoftBet. With a unique theme, high-quality visuals, and engaging sound effects, this slot can provide an immersive experience to punters!
