Hot Rod Racers Slot Review

Hot Rod Racers Slot Overview

Hot Rod Racers is a new casino slot from Relax Gaming with fast rock music and even faster pimped-out cars. A hot rod is typically an American car that has been rebuilt or modified to enhance speed and acceleration. They are often made from parts from different vehicles, but there’s no clear definition of a hot rod. Some will argue that it’s more of a lifestyle than how the car is built. In Hot Rod Racers, you’ll find both big explosive American cars and a deluxe Volkswagen Beetle. Players will experience features such as Wheelspin Wilds, converting car symbols into wilds, and two free spins modes, where the Super Free Spins can add some very lucrative multipliers to the grid. Buckle up and come with us for this ride.

Hot Rod Racers is a video slot from Relax Gaming with 5 reels, 4 rows, and 30 paylines. The Min.bet is 0.1, and the Max.bet stops at 40. Players will have an RTP of exactly 96.00%, and the volatility is high. Landing the perfect combination in this world of cars will result in the max win of 25000X the bet.

Among spare parts and other car-related objects await powerful help. Make sure to look out for the features Wheelspin Wild Symbol, Nitro Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Free Spins, Super Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Hot Rod Racers Slot Information

We’re in a mechanics shop looking at the hoods of some seriously custom-made cars. There’s a red one with fire flames on, and a turquoise where the hood is removed to make room for a bigger engine. The grid, with dark black and purple reels, is in the middle. You will quickly be aware of the rock music that, for some reason, makes us think of Bryan Adams’ hit Summer Of ’69. At least until the guitar solo starts and it picks up in tempo. To make a win in the car shop, you need to land at least 3 of the same symbols on any payline going left to right. All wins must start on the first reel to the left, and you can access the game from any device such as a mobile phone, notepad, or desktop computer.

The lower-paying symbols are the suits from a playing card deck. They all pay the same, and landing a win containing 5 spades, clubs, spades, hearts, or diamonds awards 2.5X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are four pimped-out hot rods. There’s a little blue one that must be a Volkswagen Beetle, and then comes a green one with fire flames, a red one with pipes coming out from the hood, and a purple with a death skull on the front. Landing a win containing 5 cars awards between 5X and 10X the bet. The Wheelspin Wild and the Nitro Wild Symbols substitute all mentioned symbols, but not the Scatter.

Hot Rod Racers Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Hot Rod Racers?

You can win up to 25000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Hot Rod Racers?

The features are Wheelspin Wild Symbol, Nitro Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Free Spins, Super Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Wheelspin Wild Symbol

There are two sorts of Wild Symbols in Hot Rod Racers. Both substitute all regular paying symbols, but they also have their own specialties. The Wheelspin Wild is a tire with a “w.” It can appear anywhere except on the first reel to the left. After landing, it turns all car symbols to the left on the same row into wild symbols. It also adds a +1 multiplier to any Wheelspin Wild or car symbol that has already been converted. The Wheelspin Wild also pays 2X, 7.5X, and 20X the bet for a win containing 3, 4, or 5 symbols.

Nitro Wild Symbol

The Nitro Wild Symbol, depicted by a nitro gas bottle, appears on reels 1 and 5. It substitutes all regular paying symbols and triggers the Super Free Spins when it appears on reels 1 and 5 simultaneously as 3 scatters hit the grid.

Scatter Symbol

The Scatter Symbol contains two black and white racing flags. It appears on reels 2, 3, and 4, and landing 3 symbols anywhere will trigger the free spins, giving the player 10 spins. Landing 3 scatters in combination with 2 Nitro Wilds activates the super free spins.

Free Spins

You start the Free Spins with 10 spins. The game is pretty similar to the base game, but with one great bonus. Every Wheelspin Wild that lands will be held in place for the rest of the feature, triggering the feature on every spin, converting all high-paying symbols to the left into wilds.

Super Free Spins

Accessing the Super Free Spins is extra tricky since you need to land 2 Nitro Wilds together with 3 Scatters to activate the feature. Just like the regular free spins, the player is awarded 10 spins. The Wheelspin Wilds are also held in place like in the free spins, converting all high-paying symbols to the left into wilds. Any position where a symbol is converted gets a +1 multiplier each time a conversion takes place. The multiplier is active every time a wild symbol lands or a car symbol is converted in that position. The multipliers are capped at 5X and multiply each other when more than one is present in a win.

Bonus Buy

The bonus features are up for grabs for everyone who wants to pay for them. You can get the regular free spins for 80X the bet, and the super free spins will set you back 400X the bet.

Hot Rod Racers Slot Conclusion

Hot Rod Racers is full-blown car action from the first second. It looks good without delivering mind-blowing animations, and the rock tune helps to raise the players’ pulse. It may not be as innovative as Push Gamings’ Mad Cars, where racing is part of the game, but it still has a unique feeling. Hot Rod Racers have some mighty cars, but you’ll never see them racing, which supports the idea of hot rods being more of a lifestyle.

While hanging out in the car shop, we wish for as many Wheelspin Wilds as possible, transforming all cars to the left on their rows into wilds. The main goal is to land the free spins features, where the wilds become extra valuable. The super free spins raise the bar quite a bit, and we scored some really nice wins in the feature. The multipliers with a cap at 5X may not sound too impressive, but they resulted in several wins of a couple of hundred times the bet for us since they’re multiplied by each other. The only downside of the feature is that you can’t retrigger spins, but we can see why since the chances of landing big wins increase on every spin.

The RTP of 96.00% is pretty standard but nothing to brag about. More impressive is the max win of 25000X the bet, which makes this highly volatile game even more interesting to play. If this makes you want to play more car-themed slots, we can recommend you to have a look at the classic race game 24 Hour Grand Prix. 

Hot Rod Racers from Relax Gaming is a nice visit to the custom car shop where the super free spins can result in huge wins thanks to wild multipliers.
