Hot Spin Megaways™ Slot Review
Hot Spin Megaways is a slot from iSoftBet that was released on July 6, 2021. This slot machine is loaded with traditional fruit symbols, wheels, and the Megaways mechanism, all of which are guaranteed to provide a large number of exciting spins. It is a sequel to their earlier hit game, Hot Spin, and this time around the developers have beefed up the gameplay by incorporating a variety of new features and, most notably, the Megaways gameplay engine, which makes for a more engaging experience overall and is similar to what we saw in King of Cats Megaways. The design of the game is based on the time-honored fruit symbol motif, and the game's particularly big reels and wheels are intended to draw the player's attention. The design is not as complex as it was in the past, but it is compensated for by the presence of more sophisticated functions. You will have the opportunity to hear amazing tones that, in some ways, are reminiscent of euro dance music while you are spinning. Read our review to decide whether this slot is worth your time and money playing it.

Hot Spin Megaways Bonus Features
Wild Symbol
This symbol can appear on all reels except the first one.
Cascading Wins
The Cascading Wins feature is triggered whenever you spin the reels and generate a winning combination in the slot game. After this, each of the symbols on the reels that were a part of the winning combination will vanish, and then fresh symbols will cascade down from above to fill the spaces left behind by the vanished ones. This will continue for as long as new wins that cascade from previous wins are being made.
Free Spins
The Free Spins feature will be enabled on the game if you land 4 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. After that, you will be presented with a choice between 4 distinct choices, each of which results in a unique set of game circumstances involving the total amount of free spins and multipliers:
- Option 1 gives the player 15 free spins along with a multiplier of 1.
- Option 2 gives the player 10 free spins and a multiplier of 3.
- Option 3 results in 5 free spins and a multiplier of 5.
- Option 4 is a mystery pick that might provide anywhere from 5 to 15 free spins and a multiplier of one to five times.
The overall win multiplier will rise by one time for every cascade that occurs while you are participating in the Free Spins features, and this increase may go on forever. If you land 2 or 3 scatter symbols, you will get 3 or 5 additional free spins, depending on how many scatter symbols you landed.

Our Experience Playing Hot Spin Megaways
When we started the game for the first time, we were delighted with a game design that paid tribute to the classic one-armed bandits, and we thought it was pretty cool. We were in a relaxed mood thanks to the music, and we were ready to put this slot to the test. To do this we resorted to our tried-and-tested method of depositing 200 Euros, setting the bet to 1 Euro, and giving it around 300 spins or so. The number of dead spins and the rate at which they were reducing our bankroll was the first thing that we observed during the first one hundred spins of the slot machine. Because of that fact, we managed to lose 70 Euros in a matter of 10 minutes if not less. Since this is a highly-volatile slot, we were prepared for it and did not lose our hopes. After the first one hundred spins, things started to get a little bit more groovy due to the How Wheel feature, which activated the Super Wild feature and gave us a respectable sum that was equal to 30 times our initial wager. Despite this, we were still 80 Euros in the red. Our final one hundred spins were a lot better thanks to finally triggering the free spins in which we activated the Hot Wheel feature with Mystery Symbols that paid us a generous sum of 230 Euros. Thanks to that huge win and a couple of decent wins of around 20x the bet we managed to win some money. Overall, after 300 spins, our balance was 370 Euros and we felt extremely lucky and satisfied with the result.
Hot Spin Megaways™ Verdict
If you like playing video slots that have a classic look but a modern touch, then you should give this particular game a go. This slot game is a winner in our eyes since it has a decent design, enjoyable soundtrack, a multitude of unique features, and the possibility for large payouts during the free spins bonus round. However, you should be aware that this slot has a high degree of volatility, come prepared with a substantial bankroll, and know when to stop playing since it has the potential to both make you some money and lose you a lot of money in a very short amount of time. Good luck and have fun!
