Hot Dog Heist Slot Review

Join a mischievous band of food-loving pups as they sniff out the tastiest treats in Play’n GO’s latest release, Hot Dog Heist!

With the grill sizzling and the waft of delicious meats filling the air, 5 hungry crooks plan the ultimate heist. Joining our four-legged friends on their endeavour, can we help them make a clean getaway, or will their plans go up in smoke?

Since our time spent playing The Dog House series, we’ve grown rather fond of ‘man’s best friend’. Play’n GO, on the other hand, has always had a soft spot for all animals, big or small, which is evident in their many releases.

Mega Don, Piranha Pays, and Raging Rex, to name a few, are some of Play’n GO’s best work which somehow makes even the deadliest of animals seem cute and cuddly. Moving on from limb-tearing, flesh-eating animals to lovable dogs with a nose for hot dogs, we’re eager to see what Play’n GO has come up with this time.

Free Spins

Landing 3 Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game triggers the Free Spins round, where a special Feature Wheel will determine the mode – these include:

  • The Pack: Awards 3 Free Spins and 4×4 Mega symbols on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5
  • Golden Retriever: Awards 3 Free Spins and 2 reels covered in stacked Wilds
  • Rough Collie: Awards 1 Free Spin and stacked Collie symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4. One respin is awarded when a full form of 3×3 or 3×4 block lands on reels 2-4. Full blocks are sticky during the respin
  • Labrador: Awards 1 Free Spin and Multipliers between x5 and x30
  • Border Collie: Awards 1 Free Spin and up to 4 Wild Border Collie symbols. If additional wild border collie symbols hit, 1 Respin is awarded, causing all border collie symbols to remain sticky
  • Bulldog: Awards 1 Free Spin and 2 large 2×2 Bulldog symbols. One or more respins may be awarded with sticky Bulldog symbols until at least one winning combination is created

Who’s a Good Doggie? Pick & Click

Who’s a Good Doggie is a special Pick & Click mode, where 20 Tiles are displayed on the screen. Players must select tiles to reveal hidden prizes – these include:

  • Cash Prizes between 0.25x and 25x your bet
  • Free Spins mode 1 to 6

Tiles can continue to be selected until a tile marked with an X is revealed. If modes 1 or 2 are revealed, the Pick & Click round ends and the Free Spins round immediately begins. If any other modes are revealed, you will return to the Pick & Click round after it ends for a chance to win additional prizes.

Our Verdict

As a nation of animal lovers, Hot Dog Heist will resonate with players with a fondness for four-legged companions, even before you get into the nitty-gritty of gameplay. The game reveals different breeds of dogs doing what dogs do best – on the hunt for tasty treats, rather than dogs riding heavy machinery as seen in Canine Carnage.

The base game is nothing special and offers no lucrative features besides an increase in Wild symbols. Luckily, the Free Spins round is packed with 7 distinct modes, each entirely different from the other. With a lack of base game features, it’s worth noting that Scatters appear very frequently, so it’s not difficult to access Free Spins.

The outcome of Free Spins is determined by a special Wheel Feature, of which there are 7 to contend with. With multiple Free Spins and Respins options, each mode offers a mix of multipliers, giant symbols, and stacked wilds.

The 7th mode (Who’s a Good Doggie?) is the only Pick & Click round available. This allows players to select tiles to reveal cash prizes and 1 of 6 Free Spins modes. Depending on the mode outcome, players can return to the Pick & Click round once a mode is complete. The singular spin modes have a higher potential to pay out bigger wins, but they can also be pretty brutal overall.
