Hot Blox is the latest release from High 5 Games and comes with a host of innovative features. Played on a 3×3 grid, wagering ranges from 5p up to £500 per spin. Volatility is set high with an RTP of an average of 96% and features include, scatters, free spins, symbol fusion, and multipliers.

About Hot Blox

An unusual setup with a 3×3 grid but paylines are replaced by three or more 2×2 mega blox on the screen which payout prizes after your blox becomes charged.The graphics and imagery are high definition and highly entertaining. Red flames are the backdrop to the slot and flames and sparks fly from the reels as you play. Each 2×2 blox is encased in hot coals and a fire bar charges on every spin. Lower value symbols are represented by royals, next is the ace and King these are worth 1000x the bet for a winning combination of 9 2×2 bloxs. 7’s are the most lucrative, paying as much as 5000x the bet for a combination of 9 blox.

Gameplay

To enter the free spins, you’ll need 3 or more 2×2 mega blox diamond scatters. Three scatters award 7 spins, four larger scatters award you 10 spins. During the free spins features, random reels become charged, if a charged reel is part of a winning combination, a multiplier is added. Multiple reels may become charged if this is the case a higher multiplier is applied, this can be as high as 100x multiplier.The multipliers don’t stop there. In the base game, the same system applies. The multiplier values are the same but, the game could award boosters to enable you to land larger multipliers. If one of the 9 blox failed to become charged in 20 spins, it will become charged for the next 4 spins. Also, if 1 of the blox had no action for 15 spins, it can randomly charge for 1 spin.

Conclusion

Hot Blox firmly stands out from the crowd. The fact blox that fails to charge on a losing spin then becomes charged is a great addition. I’m not sure if the whole game will capture the attention span of players for long but I would definitely recommend a few spins. Max win potential is 10.031x.
