Hot as Devil — RTP, volatility and max win

Hot as Devil by NetGame puts the devil next to classic slot-machine symbols: cherries, bells and casino chips glow on a red background. Its centrepiece, the Hold and Win feature with fixed jackpots, is backed up by a mystery symbol and free spins.

Hot as Devil came out on January 22, 2024. The look is simple and loud, with the devil looming over reels full of fruit and casino icons. A 5×3 reel window holds 25 paylines. With bets of €0.25 at the bottom and €500 at the upper end, the range is one of the widest in the collection, covering everything from a small spin to a very high stake.

With low-to-medium volatility and a win on close to every second spin, Hot as Devil runs smoother than most devil slots, and the overview of inferno slots by volatility shows which games behave the same way.

Payouts follow the 25 paylines, which are fixed: identical symbols must touch on a line, read left to right from reel one. The wild fills in missing symbols, and the mystery symbol turns into a regular symbol once the reels stop, which can complete lines. Scatters are counted apart from the lines and bring the free spins, while the jackpot respins run on their own rules with held symbols.

Hold and Win: special symbols stay on the grid while the remaining positions spin again, and each new special symbol keeps the round going.

Fixed jackpots: the respin bonus offers jackpots at set tiers that do not grow over time.

Mystery icons: after a spin, every mystery icon on the grid reveals the same regular symbol.

Free spins: scatters start a round of free spins.

Held special symbols drive the bonus round in Hot as Devil; inferno slots with hold and win brings together other games with that mechanic.

Because the jackpots in Hot as Devil come in fixed tiers, the inferno slots with jackpots show which games offer fixed pots and which ones grow.
