Sizzling Hot Deluxe Slot Review

Sizzling Hot Deluxe Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Sizzling Hot Deluxe slot setup is as old school as it gets. The action takes place on a classic 5 reel, 3 row machine with just 5 paylines. To create a winning combination, you need to land 3, 4 or 5 of the same symbol from left to right on one of those 5 paylines, starting from reel 1.

Play from 5p to £50 per spin. Click on the Total Bet tab below the reels to adjust your stake. Before you start playing Novomatic slots, you need to set a number of rounds/spins (up to 100) and set a loss limit (up to 500 x your total stake).

The Sizzling Hot Deluxe RTP is 95.66% which is lower than the 96% average but higher than most Novomatic games. You might imagine that a slot called Sizzling Hot Deluxe would be a scorcher when it comes to volatility. In fact, the volatility is in the medium range. The max win is 5,000 x your total stake per spin.

Theme – flaming fruit machine

The Sizzling Hot Deluxe slot has a fiery/flaming theme combined with that of a classic slot/fruit machine. It’s fair to say that the design in this fruit machine is of the no frills variety.

The soundtrack here is the classic Novomatic bangs and bleeps affair which appears in loads of the developer’s older slots. It sounds like an old ZX Spectrum game loading up but has that ring of familiarity to it.  Just like the gameplay, the sound and visuals in Sizzling Hot Deluxe are rather basic.

The reels are set against a plain purple backdrop and include a variety of classic one-armed bandit symbols. Look out for cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, grapes and melon. Symbols can appear as stacked, filling up entire reels to boost your chances of creating multiple winning combinations.

Joining the standard symbols is a star symbol which is the scatter. These don’t have to appear on a payline to form a winning combination. Landing 3, 4 or 5 star scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin pay 2, 10 or 50 x your total stake.

Symbol	Payout
Cherry	2, 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 4, 10 or 40 x stake
Lemon	3, 4 or 5 = 4, 10 or 40 x stake
Plum	3, 4 or 5 = 4, 10 or 40 x stake
Orange	3, 4 or 5 = 4, 10 or 40 x stake
Grapes	3, 4 or 5 = 10, 40 or 100 x stake
Watermelon	3, 4 or 5 = 10, 40 or 100 x stake
Lucky 7	3, 4 or 5 = 20, 200 or 1,000 x stake
Scatter	3, 4 or 5 = 2, 10 or 50 x stake

Sizzling Hot Deluxe Mobile

Despite being a land-based favourite, Sizzling Hot Deluxe online is available to play on smartphones and tablets as well as computers and laptops. The bright, bold visuals are simple but stand out clearly, even if you’re playing a device with a smaller screen. The simple blend on the Sizzling Hot Deluxe mobile slot works rather well.

Sizzling Hot Deluxe Bonus Features

It’s usually in this section that we outline all the bonus features that an online slot has to offer. There’s precious little to report about the Sizzling Hot Deluxe slot machine though. You won’t find any bonus features in this classic fruity.

The gameplay is about as stripped back as you’ll find anywhere. If you want free spins, cash trails, pick me prizes then looks elsewhere. There isn’t even a wild symbol This is a slot for fans of super simple fruit machines.

The only option you have to spice up the action comes via a gamble. Each time you land a winning combination, you can try and double your awarded by gambling on whether the next card shown will be red or black. This is a 50/50 shot. Win the gamble and the payout gets doubled. You can gamble multiple times if you’re successful. Lose a single gamble though and you’ll lose the whole payout from that spin.

Now, we can look at the symbols in more depth and what they will pay out for landing 5 in combination. The most rewarding symbol is the lucky 7. Land 3, 4 or 5 lucky 7 symbols on a payline and you’ll pocket an award equal to 20, 200 or 1,000 x your total stake.

Fill the whole game grid with flaming lucky 7s to land the game’s maximum award of 5,000 x stake from a single spin. You will find a table below highlighting all the payouts as well as the payout for a screen full of the same symbol:

Sizzling Hot Deluxe Review Summary – a simple blast from the past

The Sizzling Hot Deluxe slot started life as a brick and mortar game found in casinos, pubs and clubs. Novomatic has decided that it’s a case of ‘if it ain’t broke’ don’t fix it’ with this classic. This game has a great appeal for classic slot purists.

The design is simply done but conjures up a classic fruit machine in a live setting. The gameplay is as stripped back as it gets. There are no features here. This is a pure unadulterated fruit machine. That incredibly basic offering won’t be for everyone. If you’ve become accustomed to high definition visuals, lush orchestral soundtracks and loads of features, then this might not be the slot for you.

When I think of Novomatic, I think Lord of the Ocean and Book of Ra Deluxe. They both share the same generic soundtrack as Sizzling Hot Deluxe but have that good free spins feature where special expanding symbols can deliver potentially big payouts.
