As a player, I lose interest if the slots are a little too simple, but that’s not the case here. Even excluding the features, the graphics are much sharper than the games it is emulating, and there is also a dynamic image of a red-headed lady hovering in the background. You can only actually see her hair and eyes, which stare hauntingly over the top of the slot reels, but it’s better than a blank background.

The reels are more traditional, but they have been given a refined reboot as well. It’s a fruit slot, but those fruits and other symbols (Strawberries, Lemons, Oranges, Plums, Cherries, Watermelons, Bars, Sevens) look a touch juicier than what I’m used to seeing on retro slot games.

The theme, although simple, works well and provides a basic but enjoyable gaming experience. This brings me to the music.

Some slot games go above and beyond in the audio department, from slots like Guns n Roses that treat us to classics from legendary rock bands to soundtracks seemingly plucked out of a nostalgic 1990s video game. I’m sorry to report that Hot to Burn – 7 Deadly Free Spins is not one of those slots.

The soundtrack is very grating and repetitive. It’s not the worst I have heard, but it sent me scrambling for the mute button (the speaker icon in the bottom-left corner) within a few seconds.

Once the sound was muted and unable to annoy me, I was able to begin my review. I spent a lot of time with this game to get a feel for its features. Despite being a retro-styled slot, there are a few things to look out for that will appeal to players like me who prefer games with bonus rounds.

Keep reading this Hot to Burn – 7 Deadly Free Spins review to uncover those features and learn more about the game’s payout range, ways to win, Scatter symbols, and more.

Pro Tips

This is a retro game, so there isn’t much you can do to influence the play. Also, if you’re playing in the United Kingdom, you can’t even access the Buy Feature option, which costs 100x your stake to unlock.

It’s a hefty price to pay for a feature that didn’t return anywhere near that much when I unlocked it. So, even if you can use this option in your jurisdiction, I advise against it. Try to unlock it naturally, instead, and see if you can pick up any wins along the way.

Hot to Burn – 7 Deadly Free Spins Slot Bonus Features

Hot to Burn – 7 Deadly Free Spins is surprisingly stacked with features, considering it styles itself on retro casino slots.

Respins

As much as I enjoy free spins, the respin feature was the thing I loved the most about this slot. I mentioned it briefly in the beginning, but it deserves a closer look.

After every winning combination, this feature removes the lowest-paying symbol from the reels and then spins them again. If there is another winning combination, the next lowest-value symbol is removed, and the process repeats.

These are respins, not additional spins, so there’s no extra charge for them, and if you’re able to secure 7 wins in a row (I couldn’t achieve this in any of my sessions), you’ll unlock the free spins. This main feature is available through the Scatters, as well, but it’s better to gain access via the respins, as it adds an extra 2x multiplier when you do.

Wilds

The Wild symbol depicts a fiery globe with the word “Wild” emblazoned across the front. It substitutes for all of the symbols (except the Scatter), and also offers some big win potential of its own, paying 2x, 10x, and 200x for 3, 4, and 5 on a payline, respectively.

Scatter Symbol

The redhead appears on the reels as well as behind them, as she’s the face of the Scatter symbol. These symbols only appear on the first, third, and fifth reels, and you need all 3 to unlock the free spins.

I seemingly got very lucky in my playthrough of this slot, as I unlocked the feature within my first 10 spins. That doesn’t happen every day. But just as my excitement increased and I thought it was my lucky day, I proceeded to take a bunch more spins and didn’t unlock it again.

Free Spins

The free spin feature removes 6 of the lowest-paying symbols from the reel strips and leaves only the big hitters, including the Scatters and Wilds, with 3 more of the former giving you another 7 free spins.

Hot to Burn – 7 Deadly Free Spins Slot on Mobile

As I expected from such a simple slot, Hot to Burn – 7 Deadly Free Spins looks great on mobile, and I had no issues playing it. The lack of complex features and fiddly icons made playing it on mobile a breeze regardless of the screen size. I tried it on iPhone and iPad, as well as a phone running Android. There weren’t many differences between these options, and they all worked really well.

Conclusion

This slot threw me a little. It delivered an experience that I wasn’t expecting, one that was made all the more entertaining thanks to the base game respins mechanic. The fact that this can produce an enhanced version of the free spins makes it all the more worthwhile.

The RTP was good, too, and while the design wasn’t spectacular and the music was repetitive, everything else fit the retro slot vibe perfectly and should suit most players.
