Slot machine details and review Hot Mania
One of Evoplayβs slot machines, Hot Mania, is a classic title that features fruit-style symbols and relatively few special features. The fruit-themed slot isnβt that unusual in todayβs online casinos, even though a lot of other, more modern alternatives exist. Evoplay chose to turn this into a slot machine with 3×3 reels, occupied by 5 active paylines.
Every slot machine must be developed by a company that invented, designed and put it into operation. Many players eventually find that they only enjoy playing on machines from specific software provider, so they narrow down their selection by preferred brand.
A high volatility slot. Wins are rare, but can be really big. The game has more pronounced fluctuations and can often go without hitting anything for a long time, suitable for players who like adrenaline, higher risk and work with a larger budget. More about volatility here.
Slot theme and symbols
You get the standard setup of a slot with three reels, and there are only a couple of lines available for potential winning combinations. You will find 8 symbols in total, 6 of which are fruit symbols that can trigger the Booster Wheel in certain situations. With the exception of the Hot Fire symbol, the rest are all classics, and they even look the part, with an older style of design used for them. The entire thing is placed in the body of a land-based slot machine.
Hot Mania theme and symbols
Hot Mania is considered a slot machine with high volatility, so winning often is not in the cards, and losses are typical for many of its players. The lucky ones may get paid up to 2,200x the roundβs stake. You might not like that top prize for a slot thatβs so volatile, but long-term, this is a fair option, based on the 96.13% RTP thatβs announced for it. All you have to do in this game is form combinations of 3 matching symbols on one of the 5 active lines, and you will get paid.

The Booster Wheel
This is the slotβs only special feature, and it only triggers in one particular situation, when you have a single type of fruit symbol present in all 9 positions on its 3×3 reels. The six fruit symbols can do this, so you need 9 Cherries, 9 Lemons, etc., to fill the reels first. When this happens, the Booster Wheel is triggered, and there are 8 segments in it (5 Win, 2 End, and 1 Booster). Win segments pay 2x to 6x, and once claimed, they turn into End segments. Boosters will activate and pay, then improve the rest of the Win segments by 1x. Once you get an End segment, the feature ends.

Our rating of the game
Hot Mania
Hot Mania is not a particularly interesting slot machine to play during its paid rounds, at least not if you care about stories and having extra modifiers and feature symbols. You do get that Booster Wheel feature, and it comes around about as often as a free spins feature would in other slots (1 in 126 spins triggers it, on average). The biggest issue I have with it is not its high volatility or the 96.13% RTP, but the 2,200x top jackpot, which doesnβt do much to make the game an attractive option.

How do we rate slot machines?
We evaluate slot machines based on multiple criteria, from which we make our final verdict.
It has a Booster Wheel special feature, which is pretty interesting, since itβs not something youβd associate with a classic.
Stacked symbols are used, so when you do get paid, it often happens on several lines at a time.
At 96.13%, the RTP (Return to Player) signals a type of game thatβs fair overall.
The classic fruit theme has the right look to attract players who enjoy this type of experience.
Hot Fire symbols that can pay very well, up to 200x for a combo.
Cons
Very low hit frequency, with about 4.3% of all spins forming combinations.
Itβs a high volatility slot machine, so it rarely pays, but when it does, you get a decent prize from it.
The top jackpot, worth 2,200x the stake, is not a very interesting target for such a volatile release.
