What Hot to Burn Offers Fans of Classic Fruit Slots 

Hot to Burn goes for that retro feel inspired by fruit machines. The background is simple, with a black base and fire framing the entire grid and the symbols on the reels in the foreground. The fire is still, but animates with each win. Then, to make things even easier for you, there are numbers on the sides of each row to show each of the 5 paylines. 

The main symbols in Hot to Burn include: 

• Cherries: One of the lower paying symbols, but the only one that pays out for matching 2 symbols. 
• Lemon, Orange, and Plum symbols: These three symbols all have the same payout values, with the same maximum as cherries, but need at least 3 matching symbols to win.
• Strawberry and Watermelon symbols: The second highest paying symbols in the game.
• Lucky 7s: The highest paying symbol in the game, carrying a multiplier up to 1,000x for 5 matching symbols. 

Every spin of Hot to Burn sounds like you’re playing a real life slot machine, old-school lever and all. It sounds simple at first, but wait until you win. Every win is accompanied by a bell, cash sounds, upbeat music, and the sound of burning fire.
