Hot Shot Progressive Review

Bally are a studio that’s happy to provide players with all sorts of old-school slots. Those are the team’s main focus and Hot Shot Progressive is a fitting entry in that regard. It has a very classic atmosphere, though its setup is a bit larger than you’d perhaps expect. It has 5 reels, 3 rows and a total of 40 paylines, which is a combination that you don’t see all that often. It’s great to have so many paylines, though, as it leads to more frequent wins.

Hot Shot Progressive was originally released back in 2018 and its graphics haven’t aged too well. Some of the symbols look a bit out of place and the looks are just very simplistic on the whole. It’s hard to be too critical, but it’s fair to say that there were better-looking slots available in 2018 as well, so it’s not only about the slot’s age.

Hot Shot Progressive Slot – Reels Screen

The slot’s volatility level is medium and, as we’ve already mentioned, you can win up to 10,000x your bet in one go.

There are some smaller jackpots available as well, so big wins are possible throughout. The betting range doesn’t offer a lot to high rollers, but everyone else will be just fine. The least you can play for is £0.40, while the max bet clocks in at £24. The theoretical RTP of Hot Shot Progressive is 96.04%, which is on the right side of average.

Hot Shot Progressive Slot Features

The symbols of Hot Shot Progressive are your classic old-school bunch, and you have to land at least 3 matching ones on a payline from left to right to get a payout. The low-paying symbols show BARs, bells, and dollar signs, with red BARs being worth the most, up to 2.5x your stake.

The high-paying symbols are then all about sevens and the top-paying burning sevens will give you a 100x payout for a five-of-a-kind combination!

Hot Shot Progressive Slot – Bonus Game Feature

As for special symbols, there’s actually quite a few of them, and they are the most exciting thing about the entire package. There are five different special Scatters that look like reels with different logos.

If you find any of those 3 Scatters at once (they can be mixed), you’ll trigger the so-called Game-in-Game Bonus. You’ll then go from Scatter to Scatter, spinning the displayed Scatter reels and hoping to get a winning combination on them. It really feels like a slot inside a slot to a degree, and you are actually guaranteed to get a win from the entire ordeal. The two top Scatters can deliver 1,000x and 10,000x payouts as well, so make sure to keep an eye out on them!

Review Summary

Hot Shot Progressive is an old-school slot machine with an excellent twist. The Game-in-Game Bonus is both engaging and generous, so you’ll be hoping to trigger it as often as possible. It’s here that you can find the biggest wins, but what we like the most about it is the thrill of having reels inside reels. It’s original and it plays well, so we recommend you give it a try.

At the same time, it’s fair to mention that the game’s visuals are a bit of a letdown, even for a slot that draws inspiration from all things old-school.

Pros

• Game-in-Game Bonus is excellent and engaging
• 10,000x jackpot
• Medium volatility

Cons
