Hot Pot Party Demo (Fa Chai Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

Asian studio Fa Chai Gaming turns up the heat with Hot Pot Party, an Asian-inspired slot that offers cascading wins, expanding reels, and a massive maximum win potential of up to 10,000x

Theme & Design

If you’ve ever walked into a late-night hot pot restaurant, you know the type where everyone has absolutely no idea what food they’re actually looking at. Well, that’s pretty much exactly the kind of vibe that Hot Pot Party offers.

It’s an unusual theme (and clearly one that’s geared primarily towards the Asian markets), but it looks great, and you’ll see the reels set literally above a hot pot pan! Of course, food-inspired slots are nothing new. Pizza Pizza Pizza, from Pragmatic Play, for example, has become a hit, as has Running Sushi, but this is, as far as we know, one of only a few dedicated hot pot-inspired video slots!

Hot Pot Party Gameplay & Features

Hot Pot Party is played on a 4×4 grid, but, as you’ll see, this grid can actually expand all the way up to a 6×6 layout. Now, the game uses no paylines, as a cluster pays mechanic is in play, and this means you form wins by matching clusters of symbols. Cascading reels also ensure that any winning symbols disappear from the reels, with new ones dropping down to take their place. 

The game offers an above-average RTP of 96.45%, and you can wager between €0.50 and €75 per spin. It’s also designed around a medium-to-high variance math model, so you can expect a fairly balanced mix of big and frequent wins.

Now, essentially, the game is divided into three different levels. Level 1 begins on the 4×4 grid, and here, you need to match a cluster of 4+ symbols to win. Level 2 requires 5+, and Level 3 requires 6+. Special Clearance symbols can land on the reels, and you need to collect 15 of these to advance to the next level. 

The game also includes a free spins bonus round which is triggered by landing the golden FREE GAME symbol on the reels. If you do, you’ll receive ten free spins, and a random multiplier between 1x and 5x will be applied to any wins formed during the bonus round.
