What happens to winning symbols during free spins in Hot Hot Halloween?

They stick until the end of the bonus. Each new combination leaves its symbols on the grid, and with every spin there are more winning positions.

What does the Hot Hot feature do?

It triggers on a random spin: sevens become triple, and all other symbols become double. This way, a single position on the grid counts as several symbols.

Why is the center row the most valuable in Hot Hot Halloween?

Each row has its own multiplier, and the center row has the highest one — x3. The second and fourth rows give x2, and the top and bottom rows give x1.

How many times the bet can you win in Hot Hot Halloween?

Up to 3756. Volatility is very high, so the game rarely reaches such amounts, and streaks without wins can be long.

Hot Hot Halloween (Habanero) Demo Play and Full Review

A Halloween pumpkin is carved for one moment: a candle goes inside and the face lights up from within, brightest at the centre. Habanero's Hot Hot Halloween invites you to celebrate the mysterious All Hallows' Eve and trick-or-treat your way to the Hot Hot feature — and its grid glows on the same principle, with row multipliers rising from the edges to the middle. Everything radiates from the centre: row 3 triples wins, while Hot Hot turns symbols into doubles and triples.

What's in the treat bag: a 5x5 grid, Horizontal Pays (20 coins), very high volatility, RTP from ~86% to 98% and a maximum win of x3,756. The grid is built on row multipliers: rows 1 to 5 multiply wins by x1, x2, x3, x2 and x1.

Why does the middle of the grid burn brightest?

The grid is a 5x5 square, 25 positions in all, with wins paid horizontally. Each of the five rows carries its own win multiplier: x1, x2, x3, x2 and x1.

The layout is symmetrical: the outer rows leave a win as it is, the rows next to them double it, and the third, central row triples it. The game has two kinds of wild — Wild and Double Wild — and they're the ones that open Free Games.

What treats does Halloween night hand out?

There are two treats: Free Games, opened by the wilds, and the Hot Hot feature, which triggers on a random spin.

💡 Wilds knocking at the door

1 Wild and 1 Double Wild on reels 1 and 2 — 6 Free Games;
1 Wild and 1 Double Wild on reels 1 and 2 and on reels 4 and 5 — 12 Free Games;
any symbol in a winning combination locks for the remaining Free Games.

💡 Hot Hot: doubles and triples

the feature triggers on any random spin;
Seven symbols are randomly turned into triples;
all other symbols become doubles.

Free Games here come in sets of 6 or 12, and every win leaves its mark: a symbol from a winning combination stays put until the last Free Game.

What's behind the VERY HIGH mask?

Behind the mask is a lot of risk: VERY HIGH is how the provider rates the game's volatility. The top end is x3,756, or 3,756 times the bet. The row multipliers, meanwhile, never go above x3, and only the central row triples a win.

RTP is where Halloween plays its own prank: the casino chooses the version.
