Hell Hot 100

Overview Hell Hot 100

As of late Endorphina have been on somewhat of a nostalgia kick, creating games that resemble the classic brick and mortar slot machines that many a player would have begun their career on. Hell Hot 100 is the studio’s latest game that has been created with this effect in mind. With 4 rows and 5 reels and some straightforward playing dynamics, Hell Hot 100 is as simple and satisfying as free online slots come. The 100 in the Hell Hot 100 if you were wondering is a reference to the number of available pay lines.

In keeping with the rest of the game, the features have also been kept relatively simple. These include a golden star scatter which has the unique ability to pay out no matter where it appears on the board. In addition, Hell Hot 100 has a wild special symbol that can substitute for any other symbol barring the scatter to help lend a hand in creating more combinations. Lastly, this game also has a gamble feature, which is a double or nothing bonus that is played out as a card game.

Theme and Symbols

The main theme running through this game, as the title and various promotion videos on the internet attest to, is that of hell. Flames a plenty, a deep red and ember strewn background and fiery prizes all give off that same fire and brimstone vibe that gives this slot its edge. Running alongside this more overt theme is one of the classic fruity machines. This theme is reinforced more through the symbols and board design than anything else.

The background as briefly mentioned is a smoky, blood-red setting that we are guessing is trying to emulate one of the deepest rings of hell. The background is made to feel more dynamic and realistic thanks to some clever graphics by Endorphina that make it look as though smouldering embers are rising from a pit located underneath the board. Just looking at the board and its backdrop raises your temperature. This game is very much in the school of if you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
The board for Hell Hot 100 is a simple glowing red neon box that brings to mind the simple designs of physical fruit machines.
When it comes to symbols for Hell Hot 100, there are 6 regular symbols and 2 specials. The lowest in value of these are the plum, the cherry and the lemon.

They will pay 2x your stake for 5 on a pay line. The last and most valuable of the regular symbols is the flaming 7 which pays out at 4x your stake for the top combination.
