Sizzling Spins Slot Review
So, it’s time for another high-variance slot from Play’n GO after a few lackluster releases. This one promises to make you smell the bacon and more importantly, it’s the first slot from Play’n GO with a win-all-ways setup (to the best of our knowledge, at least). But most importantly, Sizzling Spins offers substantial win potential and a couple of intriguing features that we’ll delve into below.
The game is played on a 5-reel, 3-row grid matrix with 243 ways to win, which can expand to 1024 ways during the free spins game. It’s playable on all devices from €0.20 to €100 and is capped at €500,000. The main game features a Hot Reels feature, and if you trigger the free spins, there are even more exciting features waiting for you. As you can probably guess, Sizzling Spins embraces a BBQ theme, with the action unfolding on an actual grill, accompanied by the sizzle of cooking and rock music.
There are 9 regular symbols in the game. The 5 low-value symbols include mushrooms, cucumber slices, tomatoes, onions, and corn. The 4 high-value symbols consist of prawns, chicken wings, sausages, and ribs. Ribs are the most rewarding, offering 10 times your bet for 5 on a payline. None of the symbols are stacked on the reels, making it impossible to land a full screen of any regular symbol.
Apart from the regular symbols, there’s also a Foil Blocker symbol, which is only useful when it lands on a hot reel; otherwise, it just blocks your wins. The scatter symbol is represented by a Chilli and plays a crucial role during free spins.
One Hot Reel is activated on reel 1, 3, or 5 on every initial spin. Any Foil Blockers landing on a Hot Reel turn into wilds, triggering a re-spin where the Hot Reel is held. On the re-spin, another reel becomes a Hot Reel. If another wild is activated on the new Hot Reel, another re-spin is awarded. Re-spins continue until all 5 reels are hot or no more wilds are activated.
During a re-spin, any reel can become a Hot Reel. If a wild lands on the Hot Reel on the fourth and final re-spin, any wins on that re-spin are multiplied by 2.
The free spins feature is triggered when 3 Chilli scatter symbols land on the reels. When this occurs, you select one of the Chilli scatters to reveal how many free spins you’ve won – either 8, 10, or 12.
The free spins game is played on a different reel set with 4 rows, increasing the paylines to 1024 ways. The Hot Reels feature applies here as well, with a major advantage – ALL Foil Blockers are turned into wilds, regardless of whether they land on the Hot Reel or not. Foil Blocker symbols landing on a Hot Reel will trigger a re-spin.
The scatter symbol is pivotal in the free spins mode, and collecting them increases your multiplier:
- 3 Chilli symbols award a x2 multiplier.
- 6 Chilli symbols award a x3 multiplier.
- 9 Chilli symbols award a x5 multiplier.
This slot quickly became a summer favorite, and if you’re into high variance, you’re likely to enjoy it too. The main game offers low potential, but the Hot Reels feature keeps it interesting. The real excitement lies in the bonus round, where you can land up to 5000x your bet with the help of a x5 multiplier. We also appreciate that it’s a win-all-ways slot, and we hope to see more of this type from Play’n GO in the future!
