Hot City Slot

I was curios to see what is behind Hot City slot by NetEnt. I felt I will find something there as I feel like traveling .. so maybe something related to traveling or 'night life' I use to live in one of my previous lives Oh, well, I am not that old nor old means that life is over but some things change which is normal and if positive it's MEGA WIN for human being. This is 5-reels, 25-paylines video slot. I was unsure whether to tell how I really feel when it comes to Hot City theme but thanks to the universe I found that 'Sex and the City' was inspiration for its theme. I wouldn't think of that in my worse nightmares and I don't think this slot theme has much in common with that popular tv serial. But I can tell, it was really nice try.

Knowing its another oldie from NetEnt on my chain, it would be appropriate to say: 'I feel ya' NetEnt creators but that's not the truth. I think you missed theme in Jimy Hendrix which was recently launched and there is so many examples that 'someone' missed not only the subject but the whole point. Well, no problem if paytable serve some delicious cookies on the house. Let's check it out.

Min.bet is 0.25 cents. Hot City come with bonus,scatter and wild symbols. If you collect scatter symbols on the active payline you get reward of 10 – 30 free spins with multiplier x3 attached. I am really sorry that I get no chance to trigger bonus round but from what I know, Carrie Bradshaw should be the one picking 'these' shoes in the bonus round.

I wouldn't mind not to pick but to jump into shoes boxes and then make collection. That's my desired summer bonus round this year.  My session was .. desperate with 50 plus spins which is nothing, I am saying its 'desperate' not because of the lack of wins but lack of knowledge that comes from experience while you are spinning regularly the certain game.

Hot city is themed on the life of high class people of New York. The slot has good glittering outlook and the sound is really very jolly. It is a 5 reel and 25 play line slot.

I triggered the bonus game under 20 spins and that too once in consecutive spins. In total I triggered it 4 times in my game play. It is triggered when 3+ bonus symbols appear on the reels in succession from left to right on an active play line. In bonus game a girl is shown which is sitting on a designer shoe store. You are presented with many shoes on which cursor moves very quickly so you have to select the shoe and the game ends if you land on an empty shoe box (you have selected that shoe previously). But the returns of the bonus game is poor. The best I could make was 450 coins when only 2 shoes out of 12 presented were left and I was betting at 25 coins at that time. The return is just 18 times of the bet.

The wild can substitute any symbol except the bonus symbol and scatter symbol. It is also the highest paying symbol which pays maximum of 10000 coins when hit 5 of it on an active play line. The free spin feature is triggered when 3+ scatter symbols appear on the reels which activate 10 free spins. In my game play I never had the opportunity to trigger the feature.

The slot is weak in returns. The bonus game is easily triggered but the returns are poor. Then the free spin feature is very hard to trigger such that I could not trigger it in my game play. So I would rate the slot 6 on 10.

Oh, hot city, very old slot game from net entertainment, and i am not sure did this game still presented at net entertainment casinos, but i play this game and can share some of my experience.

Game looks great, i really must admit this. Game has 25 paylines, and it is fully themed for girls, since the theme of slot is shopping(how many male's like go to shopping for shoes?). Yes, bonus game here created just for girls, when i get 3 bonus game symbols, there i saw the girl who sit in the shop, and i need to choose 3 pair of shoes which she take home and i will be awarded random number of coins for this. 3 pair of shoes? O come on, why she need 3 in one time? I wear one pair few month and feel myself more than perfect, also payouts on bonus game is so poor, that it will not be enough to pay for this 3 pairs of shoes :D

Payouts on other things here is great, 5 wilds will pay x 400, 5 scatters will pay x 250 + 30 free spins, all free spins has x 3 multiplier. During my gameplay i noticed that it is not so hard to trigger bonus game and free spins, but soon i start feel angry in bonus game, cause girl buy and buy shoes, and i never get awarded more than 20 x total bet, give me money to pay for her shoes!!My best win was after free spins feature with two retriggers, it pay me something like 150 x total bet, not the worst result, but it can be much more higher, but take note that i did not spend hours of playtime with this game.

Great low-medium variance game for girls, because i am hardly imagine a male who can be happy to buy shoes in bonus game, really, i simply can't.

“Hot City” is almost a very good slot from NetEnt casinos.I say almost very good, in the sense which a slot from NetEnt casinos can be generous. From my experience slots in these casinos, are generally stingy and the wins are not too big.Well, this slot almost convinced me with the wins that I have had here.

The theme of this slot is the big city and its love stories. Here the iPhone, the beautiful girls, the shopping bag symbols, and so on, are common. I mean, these are between the elements that define a large and modern city.

What I like about this slot is that here it is “raining” with Wilds, Scatters and Bonus symbols. There is no spin where at least 4-5 of are symbols are present. Correspondingly the winning combinations appear frequently, but the average win stands here below the total bet. Still the slot is a winner on the overall and this is due to very frequent Bonus game and to the fact that the Free spins round is also relatively easy to enter.

The game bonus is offered when 3 consecutive “Gifts” aligns on a payline. Then one of the girls will go shopping and the player needs to help her to choose as many pairs of shoes as possible. Although the average win is here around 2 Euro, with some dexterity of the player (which can be acquired in time) the wins can be higher (3-3.5 Euro).A bonus game is offered about once every 30 spins or so, therefore it is quite frequent.As I said, the Free Spins round is again relatively easily accessible. I was lucky to get once into Free Spins with 4 Scatters (this is the first time since I play slots that I have 4 Scatters on the reels) and of the 20 spins with 3x multiplier I got over 15 Euro. In general you will win in Free spins between 5 and 10 Euros.

The slot atmosphere is bright and the wins are among the best offered here, in NetEnt. Even if from normal spins you will have some losses, almost always you able to recover in the Bonus game and in Free spins, which are very frequent here.

Sometimes you end playing slots you would never have imagined to be playing, simply because the theme doesn't match your gender, interests or any other similar factors. Well, this is exactly what happened to me while playing Hot City. While browsing the games selection at an online casino, I thought I'd go for a change since I was losing desperately.

Hot City sounded appealing to me as a name, and initially I thought it was an action themed slot before I ended up in a world similar to that of Sex & The City lol. I decided to stick around and give this game a shot, which clearly focuses on the female audience.

There is no doubt in my mind that the theme is inspired by the popular tv-show Sex & The City. The background music is similar, while the symbols depict some New York ladies that love shopping expensive accessories, taxis and romance.

Even for a man like me I must say this slot was quite entertaining to play, since Net Entertainment did a very good job creating this game. I can definitely imagine women loving this game. Anyway, Hot city has 5 reels and 25 paylines. The minimum bet to start playing is €0.25 per spin, but I played this on €0.50 bets I believe since my budget was almost gone that day.

In addition Hot City also has scatter, bonus and wild symbols (pictures girl + guy kissing). It's one those slots where you can easily hit even during base game. I had several small and bigger hits during only a very short session with my biggest being 60x bet size thanks to a few wilds.

After collecting a few scatters I also managed to trigger the free spins. The max number of free spins you can win is 30 (5 scatters) followed by 20 (4 scatters) and 10 (3 scatters). I ended up winning 10 free spins with a 3x multiplier.

After the first spin I had 3 bonus symbols in succession which takes you to a bonus game. A lady is sitting in the middle of 12 shoe boxes, and while the light keeps moving from 1 shoe box to the other you have to press stop. The shoe box then reveals a prize, and then you go for another round until the light ends at an empty box - then the game is over.

I managed to win 8x bet size with this game, a fun and entertaining addition I must say. Back to free spins I managed only a smaller hit of around 35x bet size in total. I liked playing this game even for a guy like me :D

Final rating for Hot City is 8/10.
