Are you into good gaming? Are you into slots? Then pay close attention, because you’re in for a real treat: Microgaming has decided to welcome you to a hot’n’spicy new addition to its Retro Reels series – Extreme Heat! So prepare yourself for some fiery action on those five reels, which will take you to a rewarding trip full of excitements and winning opportunities, exquisite graphics and traditional symbols.

“Retro Reels – Extreme Heat” does have that air of classic slots, but its innovative approach to graphics and special features really makes it adequate for fans of both traditional and modern video slots. Its symbols are quite well known, as they appear in all classic slots – sevens, bars, fruit symbols; but there are also special symbols and features which will enhance your playing experience and make the game more thrilling: wild $ symbol, scatter symbol which awards free spins with 2x multiplier, and Microgaming’s innovative feature re-spins, which boosts players’ winning odds.

There’s another thing worth noting about Retro Reels series – its recipe for success lies in the fact that each of the slots in the series is absolutely unique, and therefore not comparable to others, even though they share the same name and some basic features.

If all this sounds like something that may interest you, you should go on and consider how much you’d like to spend on “Retro Reels – Extreme Heat.” What you have at your disposal are coin denominations between $0.01 and $0.25, an unusual number of up to 15 coins per line, and the ability to choose up to 30 lines to play on. With such a range, this slot is available to all player types and it will keep even the most demanding punters satisfied.

Special Features:

Players’ winning chances can be increased by a number of features in this slot. Let’s start from the wild symbol, shaped as a fiery $ character, which replaces other symbols, except scatters in order to form an additional winner. Then we can move on to the scatter symbol, which pays any, and three or more of which anywhere on the reels will lead to a bonus free spin round. For three, four and five scatters, you will get 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. The free games are quite generous, partly thanks to their multiplier which doubles all the wins in this retriggerable feature.

In addition, there are the above-mentioned re-spins. What they do is allow player to re-spin a reel of his/her choice and thereby increase their winning odds at a cost clearly indicated on the slot screen. This may really turn out to be a useful tool, especially if you lack only one symbol for a nice win, or perhaps to trigger free spins.

All in all, as paradoxically as it may sound, “Retro Reels – Extreme Heat” is a combination of simplicity and complexity. Its common and straightforward character is embodied in state-of-the-art graphics and sounds, and its innovative approach to the traditional simplicity resulted in a game which draws attention and keeps it for a long while.
