Sizzling Hot Quattro Slots
Novomatic is home to many classic slot machine games, and many players are certainly familiar with Sizzling Hot Deluxe and its iconic fruity icons.
Perhaps not so many players have wondered what it would be like to play four games of Sizzling Hot Deluxe at the same time.
Regardless of whether or not that question had crossed your mind in the past, Sizzling Hot Quattro is here with an answer. Without further ado, let’s see how it feels to play on a quadruple game set.
Fun Times Four
The design of the game gives of a clear retro vibe, simple and uncluttered. The background is a mere uniform large purple stripe upon which the reels are placed, framed at the top and bottom by two narrower red stripes. The name of the game glows in orange and blue letters above the reels.
The sound effects match the modesty of the aesthetics of Sizzling Hot Quattro, with arcade-inspired gimmicks which are fun and help put the players into gambling mode. This should be particularly true for land-based casino fans.
There isn’t much more to say about the game’s design, as such simplicity is often a hit or miss bet: you will either love it or hate it. Either way, it would be a shame to give up on Sizzling Hot Quattro too fast, since it still has a few tricks in its (four) sleeves to spice up your gaming experience.
Familiar Settings Nonetheless
The game features the well-known Novomatic gameplay setup, which is still very much relevant despite the reel madness happening in the main game window.
In the lowest section of the screen, you will find valuable indicators reminding you of the amount your total Credit and the size of your latest win. Each section of the game has 5 reels and 5 paylines, and since there are four sections, we end up with 20 paylines and an astounding 20 reels in total, no fancy transferring wilds here just a good solid slot design.
Every section spins independently of the others, but they are all affected by the controls uniformly. Select the number of paylines to activate and the amount of your bet using the (+) and (-) commands, and get the many reels revolving with a single click on the start button – or enjoy watching all 20 of them spin endlessly by hitting the Autoplay switch.
Lastly, you will also be able to disable one or more reel sections thanks to the green tabs located in the middle of the screen, if things get a little too intense for you. The last command is the Gamble button, which will take you and your latest gains to a separate screen with a hidden virtual card, the colour of which you need to guess correctly. Every correct guess will double your stash, but the first mistake will see it disappear forever.
Round And Round The Many Reels Go
We are in familiar territory again when it comes to the reel symbols. You will find an assortment of classic and delicious fruits, starting with Cherries, then the Lemons, the Oranges, the Plums, Grapes and Watermelons. Any combination of three or more on an active payline will see your wallet inflate. Note that the Cherry icon pays the least, but you need only two of them on a line to start collecting new coins!
To top it off, the paytable ends with a bang with the Gold Star and the red-hot Seven, five of which will land you a burning jackpot! With 20 reels potentially active and spinning simultaneously, that is a lot of possible winning combos piling up one after the other for tremendous gains!
One last feature of the game worth mentioning concerns the Gold Star. It isn’t just the second most valuable symbol of the game: it also as a Scatter function, which means that you need not trouble yourself with getting them to land on a common payline at all to be winning!
No Need To Adjust Your Screen
There is a lot more going on in Sizzling Hot Quattro than you might expect. It isn’t simply a remake of Sizzling Hot Deluxe, but the possibility to play four games at the same time. The paylines are independent and each you win separately in each section, which makes the gameplay much less confused than it might appear at first glance.
Sure, recycling a classic game into a buffed-up, quadruple version of itself may appear as a somehow easy and uninspired move to lure new players in. However, Sizzling Hot Quattro is genuinely fun to play and the quadruple display surely isn’t something players encounter every day!
