Hot Choice Dice Slot Review
Flames wrap the whole screen here, orange and red streaks swirling behind a reel window that glows like a lit opening in a dark wall, embers drifting up through the corners. Hot Choice Dice puts that heat to work: this is classic Amatic dice machinery running at 97.12% RTP, a figure most ten-line games of this vintage wouldn’t dare offer, on a 5×3 grid with 10 fixed paylines and stakes from 10 to 1000 per spin.
The generosity isn’t in the artwork, it’s in the maths. Stacked dice, one scatter, and a bonus round that hands you the variance dial are the whole game, and that spareness is deliberate. Players who know the studio’s fruit-and-joker line will recognise the approach from Double Joker 20 and Fortune Joker 20, with Fortune Joker 10 the closest cousin in spirit.
Dice on Fire: The Base Game
The reels sit in a dark recess framed by a thick orange-gold border, like a lit window set into a wall, and a gold, flame-licked banner carries the title across the top. It’s a glossy, neon-lit take on a format that usually arrives flat and functional. The warm palette does real work here: the ember specks drifting through the lower corners keep the screen moving even when the reels don’t.
The symbols are dice, all the way down, and they’re stacked, so a single spin can fill a reel with identical faces. Stacked symbols are what give a ten-line game like this its stretch: a screen of matching dice across several reels is how the bigger line wins arrive. When several lines land at once, the game highlights each one and totals them up.
Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels across the 10 fixed lines. Only the highest win on each line counts, and line wins from different lines are added together. Line wins are multiples of the line bet. It’s standard arithmetic for the format, and it’s applied without surprises.
Every paytable value is tied to the current bet level and recalculates automatically when you change stakes, so the figures you’re reading always match what you’re wagering. That includes the scatter pays, which track the total bet rather than the line bet, so a stake change moves both ladders at once.
There’s no wild in this game. The special symbol is the Hot Choice scatter, which pays on any position, with wins calculated as multiples of the total bet and added to any line wins. Only the highest scatter combination is paid. Three, four or five of it anywhere triggers the bonus round.
Autoplay is built in, with a visible remaining-spins counter running alongside the reels. It’s the kind of small convenience a ten-line format leans on, and the game reminds you what the scatter does with an on-screen prompt while the spins run, which is useful in a game where one symbol carries the entire feature.
The Paytable
Six dice colours share the board with a single white 7, and each pays per line bet:
- White 7 – 100 for three, 1,000 for four, 10,000 for five
- Green Dice / Cyan Dice – 40 for three, 200 for four, 400 for five
- Purple Dice – 20 for three, 50 for four, 200 for five
- Orange Dice / Yellow Dice – 10 for three, 40 for four, 150 for five
- Red Dice – 5 for two, 10 for three, 25 for four, 100 for five
The ladder steps down steeply from the white 7, and the pairing of colours matters: green and cyan dice pay identically, as do orange and yellow, so there are effectively five pay tiers across six dice faces. The red dice is the only one that pays for a two-symbol match, which softens the bottom of the table slightly.
The scatter pays separately, as a multiple of the total bet rather than the line bet:
- Hot Choice scatter – 20 for three, 200 for four, 5,000 for five
Because the scatter is measured against the total stake and everything else against the line bet, the two ladders aren’t directly comparable. 5 scatters is the single richest prize a spin can produce without the bonus multiplier, and it lands from any position. 5 white 7s on a line is the richer prize at minimum stakes across all ten lines, and the scatter is the only symbol that pays from anywhere.
The BONUSSPIN Feature and Your Choice
Three, four or five scatter symbols anywhere in the main game win bonusspins. That’s the whole trigger. Before the round starts, you make the choice the game is named for: how many spins you take, and how big a multiplier rides on them.
There are three combinations on offer, and the arithmetic behind them is straightforward:
- 6 spins with a x9 multiplier
- 10 spins with a x5 multiplier
- 15 spins with a x3 multiplier
Every win during the round is multiplied by the multiplier you chose, and the three options multiply out to strikingly similar totals: 54, 50 and 45 spin-multipliers respectively. The design keeps the options close enough that neither is a mistake, which is what makes it a genuine choice rather than a maths test with one right answer.
The short option concentrates the reward into 6 spins at 9x the value; the long one spreads a gentler multiplier across 15. The difference only becomes dramatic when retriggers enter the picture, because extra spins arrive at the multiplier you originally picked.
Scatters keep working during the round. Three, four or five of them anywhere while the bonusspins are running wins additional spins, which are added to whatever remains. A round that retriggers early keeps its multiplier for the full extended run, which is where the feature’s real potential sits: 15 extra spins at x9 is a very different prospect from the 6 you started with.
The round runs until the spin counter reaches zero. Wins are collected along the way, each already multiplied, so there’s no final tally or hidden modifier waiting at the end. What you see land is what you get, multiplied once by the number you chose at the door.
One consequence of the choice is worth spelling out: the multiplier applies to everything the round pays, scatter wins included, so a retrigger that lands 5 scatters mid-round pays its 5,000 at the full chosen rate. In a round built on 6 spins, a single such hit at x9 does more work than a dozen ordinary line wins.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.1/10
This is a quick, clean game of dice that spends most of its time doing exactly one thing, and the reason to sit at it is that it does that thing at 97.12% RTP, which is genuinely generous for a ten-line classic. The flames on the walls are pleasant company while it happens.
The strength is the choice at the bonus door. The three options multiply out so evenly that picking between them is about how you like your variance, not about beating the game, and a retrigger that keeps your original multiplier can turn six spins into something much bigger. The weakness is everything outside that door: no wild, no second mechanic, no feature between bonusspins. The base game is stacked dice and line wins, full stop.
For players who like plain, fast reels priced fairly and one real decision in the session, this is an easy game to enjoy. Anyone who wants layered features and chained bonuses will find the fire here mostly on the wallpaper, and for them it won’t burn for long.
