Hot Rio Nights Slot Review

Gameplay and Payouts

Hot Rio Nights is a visually rich slot. Behind the 5x3 layout, we can see the backdrop of the beautiful Rio. The reels themselves are located on a strange, Aztec-like podium, but we don’t think it’s meant to do with something regarding this ancient civilisation. Of course, the music is jolly, and you might say that it sets the rhythm of the night. Looking back at some other previous projects from Evoplay, Hot Rio Nights isn’t all that impressive. The theme is a bit uncommon, but the slot has a general look to it.

Some of that generic style comes from the game symbols. In this case, we’re talking about the low ones like 10, J, Q, K and A. In Hot Rio Nights, the terms low symbols is a bit loose, as the value for these two musical instruments is not that much different, but in general, the payouts are good or at least how you would expect them to be. There is a notable payout difference with these three lady symbols. These exotic dancers bring the best-winning potential and they often can appear in stacks. Ultimately though, if you want to get your hands on some Wild symbols, payouts from these are significantly better than what all other symbols can provide.

Hot Rio Nights slot is truly a fiery piece of machinery, as it has some notable payout potential. This mixed volatility game can produce wins over 5,000x and the RTP on this slot is just around 96%, so not too high, but overall fine. The bet range, that Evoplay have given is 0.10 - 100. Speaking of payouts, it’s worth mentioning that wins are made from 3 matching symbols apart from the Wild and three high-paying symbols, these require 2 or more matching symbols to form a win. Hot Rio Nights comes with 10 paylines, so the variety of combinations is slightly restricted. 

Bonus Features

You know the usual gist, land 3 scatters and get your Free Spins bonus, but wait, on Hot Rio Nights you will need 3 stacks of scatters to trigger the bonus games. Although 9+ symbols sound a lot, keep in mind, that scatters only appear in stacks and they appear quite often, so it’s not as bad as it sounds. The more stacks you land, the more spins you'll get, of course. Before the Free Spins bonus begins, players will be presented with 5 options. Each one contains a different symbol and a certain number of spins. During Free Spins, only the selected symbol will appear in stacks, so players can either go for a higher value symbol but fewer spins or the other way around. These stacked symbols appear quite more often than during the base game.

Conclusion

So how hot really is the Hot Rio Nights slot? It’s nicely warm but not scorching. Evoplay have created some decent visuals which do bring to life some of that carnival vibe, but at the same time, it doesn’t feel all out there. The same goes for the action in this game. The potential is there but the slot is a bit tame at the same time. We weren’t really struggling with triggering the bonus game, but the action wasn’t all that exciting, or maybe we were just dealt some bad cards. In general, Hot Rio Nights is worth a shot and although it won’t necessarily replace a true experience in Rio, it’s still some good fun.
