Pragmatic Play sets a fruit classic on fire in Shining Hot 40: cherries, plums and apples burn on a red background, with diamonds glittering in between. There's no bonus round; wins come from the paylines and from scatters, which pay regardless of the lines.
Shining Hot 40 came out on July 8, 2022 and borrows the look of old fruit machines, adding flames and a red background. The fruit burns across a 5×4 frame holding 40 paylines, one row more than the classic three-row layout. Small bets begin at €0.40; large ones reach €200.
Medium-high volatility is fairly unusual for a fruit classic like Shining Hot 40; the inferno slots by volatility shows which games sit on the same level.
Game rules
Wins land on the 40 paylines: matching symbols have to line up left to right on a single line. The fourth row means many more lines run across the grid than on classic three-row fruit slots. The wild fills gaps in a line, while scatters pay by how many land anywhere on the grid.

Wild: it steps into lines that are missing a symbol and can complete several of them in the same spin.
Scatter: scatters don't pay along the lines but count anywhere on the grid, adding wins on top of the line hits.
That's the full feature set; Shining Hot 40 plays like a quick fruit slot built around a wild and scatters.
