Hot Puzzle

Hot Puzzle is a fruit-themed video slot developed by Endorphina, released on December 7, 2023. The game features a 5×4 grid layout with 50 paylines, combining classic fruit symbols with a unique puzzle element and pin-up style imagery.

The slot's visual design incorporates traditional fruit machine symbols, including green apples, plums, cherries, oranges, lemons, grapes, watermelons, bells, and stars. These symbols are rendered in vibrant colors, creating an appealing visual experience for players.

The Wild symbol in Hot Puzzle appears as a Coin and can land on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. It substitutes for all regular symbols to help form winning combinations, with the exception of the Bonus symbol.

The Red Lips symbol serves as the game's Bonus symbol, appearing only on reels 1 and 5. This symbol is key to triggering the main feature of the game.

The highlight of Hot Puzzle is its Puzzle Bonus Game, triggered when four Bonus symbols appear simultaneously on the top and bottom positions of reels 1 and 5. During this feature:

• The main game reels transform into a 5×4 grid of puzzle pieces.
• Each piece is actually a reel that can reveal a portion of a hidden image or a blank space.
• Players start with 3 spins, which reset whenever new image pieces are collected.
• Uncovered puzzle pieces award prizes ranging from 1x to 16x the total bet.
• The goal is to uncover the full picture, which awards the Hot Prize of 1,000x the total bet.
• The puzzles feature images of young women in a pin-up style.

After any win, players have the option to enter the Risk Game, a gamble feature where they can potentially double their winnings up to 10 times. This feature involves choosing a card to beat the dealer's card, with the chance to collect winnings at any point or lose everything if the dealer wins a round.

The game's high volatility and maximum win potential of 1,000x the stake provide an element of excitement for high-risk players. The return to player (RTP) of 96.06% is competitive, ensuring fair play over the long term.

An interesting feature of Hot Puzzle is its unique blend of classic fruit slot elements with a modern puzzle mechanic. This combination creates an engaging gameplay experience that goes beyond simple spinning, adding a layer of strategy and anticipation as players work to complete the puzzle and potentially win the Hot Prize.
