Hot Africa Review

SYNOT are one of the more active studios on the Central European market, and we are always happy to take a look at their games. In this review, we’ll take a closer look at Hot Africa, which is a 2017 safari-themed release with 5 reels, 3 rows and 15 winlines.

Games with safari themes have been around pretty much since day one, but Hot Africa does stand out at least a little bit thanks to its colorful graphics that can certainly draw you in right from the start. Overall, it’s a very fine game in terms of presentation, so let’s give its designers a big thumbs up!

Mathematically speaking, Hot Africa comes with a medium volatility level, and its hit frequency is fairly low at 13.08%. The most that you can win in one spin is 674x your bet (though we think that this number is wrong), and everyone can jump in for bets between £0.20 and £35 per spin. As for Hot Africa’s theoretical RTP, it’s worth mentioning that the package comes with RTP ranges, and that the values on offer go from 88.08% to 97.94%, with 96.07% being the default value.

Hot Africa Slot Features

There are 9 pay symbols in Hot Africa, and they are split into 5 symbols of lower values and 4 symbols of higher values. For the former, there are card ranks from Tens to Aces, though they are thematically designed. On top of that, they can net you up to 20x your bet for a set of five, so they are most certainly not to be ignored.

Aside from pay symbols, there are also Mask Wilds and Landscape Scatters that you can find in the base game. Mask Wilds even come with their won payout values, while Landscape Scatters trigger the Free Spins feature.

If you land 3 or more Landscape Scatters, you’ll receive 15 free spins with a base 2x win multiplier. What’s more, you can land special Extra Wilds on the middle reel to double your win multiplier (first to 4x and then to 8x). The win multiplier will reset back to 2x after a win, but hey – you can’t complain about that, can you.

Players can then also try to boost their winnings with the Gamble feature, but it’s just your basic card-guessing minigame and nothing more than that.

Review Summary

Although there’s no point in trying to pretend that Hot Africa is an excellent release, it’s a classy enough mid-range slot that can entertain fans of safari-themed games for a session or two. And, well, that’s all that one is sometimes looking for!
