Hit Hot Fruit Features: Wilds, Star Scatter and Gamble

Three mechanics shape every Hit Hot Fruit spin: Lucky 7 wilds that stack over whole reels, a Star Scatter that pays wherever it lands and a card gamble that can double a win up to five times.

Stacked Lucky 7 wilds#

The wild Hit Hot Fruit Lucky 7 wild symbol is a ruby 7 in a gold frame. It substitutes for all six fruits and lands in vertical stacks that can cover one, two or all three rows of a reel.

  • A reel filled with wilds counts on every line that crosses it, so all 22 lines get help at the same time.
  • A wild reel in the middle of the grid links fruit on both sides of it into longer runs from reel 1.
  • The 7 also pays as a symbol: three, four or five on a line return 2, 5 or 10 times the total bet.

Star Scatter#

The Star Scatter Hit Hot Fruit Star Scatter symbol, a gold star in a laurel wreath, pays independently of the paylines. Stars count in any position and on any reels, and the payout depends on how many are on screen:

The scatter payout is added to whatever the lines pay on the same spin. At a 2.00 bet, four Stars alone return 50.00.

Gamble game#

The studio calls it the Risk Game; the button in the game reads Gamble. It opens after any winning spin and is entirely optional:

  1. The screen shows the amount you can win next to the amount you can collect.
  2. One card is dealt face down. Pick Red (hearts and diamonds) or Black (clubs and spades).
  3. The card turns over. A right call doubles the win, a wrong one forfeits the win from that spin.
  4. After a right call, collect or gamble again, up to five successful calls in a row.

Five right calls in a row multiply the original win by 32: a 1.00 win becomes 2, 4, 8, 16 and finally 32.00. Collecting at any step banks the amount shown.

How the features work together#

A stacked wild reel can complete several lines on the same spin that Stars appear, and both payouts are added before the Gamble offer opens. The total of that spin is what goes into the card round. The full paytable is on the rules page, and the RTP page explains how the game’s low volatility spreads its returns.
