Sizzling Hot Deluxe

The era of traditional fruit machines is back. This time around, it’s thanks to Sizzling Hot Deluxe, a retro-themed slot from Greentube that promises simplicity and action in equal measure. This game exudes the charm of classic gaming floors, replete with vibrant fruit symbols, fiery sevens, and the allure of straightforward, fast-paced action. In an industry where complexity often reigns, Sizzling Hot Deluxe stands out by delivering pure, undiluted slot gaming fun.

The design is a nod to vintage slot cabinets, featuring a sleek 5-reel, 3-row grid set against a dark purple backdrop. The gameplay is smooth, with a wide betting range that accommodates both conservative bettors and those looking to make larger wagers, ranging from 0.02 to 250 per spin.

Sizzling Hot Deluxe players the nostalgia card. Its symbols are a more than obvious throwback to traditional fruit machines, but with a polished, modern look. The game features six main fruit symbols: cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, grapes, and watermelons. Each fruit symbol brings its own level of excitement, with the potential for substantial payouts.

The first four on the list (cherries, lemons, oranges, and plums) come with a payout potential of 40x the bet for a 5 on a payline. The other two (grapes and watermelons) payout 100x for the same combination. The Fiery Seven is the highest-paying symbol of the bunch, offering the biggest rewards when it lands in a winning combination, 1,000x the total bet to be precise.

The Star Scatter symbol brings a twist, as it pays out 50x the total bet regardless of its position on the reels. This keeps the gameplay highly unpredictable.

The Star scatter symbol is a highlight you’ll most often run into with this game. Unlike other symbols that must align on a payline, the Star pays out regardless of its position on the reels. This can potentially lead to unexpected wins that keep the action sizzling at all times.

Sizzling Hot Deluxe also includes a Gamble feature, a simple yet much needed addition where you can choose to double your winnings. After any win, you have the option to guess the colour of a hidden card — red or black. A correct guess doubles your payout, while an incorrect guess means you lose the initial win. This feature can be repeated several times, allowing for potentially significant gains if you're feeling (and guessing) lucky.

While not technically a feature, its straightforward approach is definitely one of the defining points of Sizzling Hot Deluxe. Thanks to it, the game is both fast and smooth. While it lacks turbo spin, it makes up for it with a basic Autoplay feature, allowing you to sit back and watch the reels spin without interruption.

Sizzling Hot Deluxe takes its chances on a blend of traditional slot machine charm with the potential for significant wins - and somehow it works. Its straightforward gameplay and all-around engaging features make it a timeless favourite in our book and at bwin.
