Hot Molten Money Slot

Hot Molten Money Slot

During the early days of the modern video slot, some critics may have pointed out, with some validity, that certain traditional casino game developers were slow to adapt or learn from the innovations introduced by their online casino counterparts.

Regardless of where WMS stood a decade ago in terms of features and game design, it is undeniable now that they excel in creating new interactive cabinets, innovative gameplay, and captivating themes for today’s live casino environment.

Hot Molten Money is a game rooted in heavy industry, a part of WMS’s ‘Reel Intensity’ series that showcases their popular wager saver and bonus guarantee features, with a unique multiplier system being the key addition to these slot games.

If you have a resilient spirit and are eager to test your luck, this industrial-themed slot machine will appeal to you, reminiscent of the prosperous days of Detroit’s industrial era in the 1970s, featuring calendar pin-up style characters that cater to both male and female players as the reels spin! Although Detroit’s factories may now lie in ruins, the industrial vibe thrives in Hot Molten Money, without the backing track of a Motown tune, thankfully.

Theme

Heavy industry proves to be a fitting theme for a land-based slot machine when you consider it—a typical modern video slot is a robust, machinery-filled case weighing over 300 pounds, housing a variety of electrical and mechanical components. What better theme could there be for a game? Whether you envision yourself as a gold smelter, steel tycoon, or oil refining mogul, you must learn to operate heavy machinery!

WMS has dedicated considerable effort to enhancing user experience with their cabinets, focusing not only on themes and gameplay but also on ensuring comfort and entertainment for players sitting for extended periods of time. The game’s cabinet features integrated lighting, now a standard feature in almost all WMS games, along with a premium Bose sound bar that delivers the game’s music and array of sound effects. This immersive setup enhances the gameplay experience, making it even more rewarding as you await your wins.

The lower paying symbols in the game consist of the standard 9 to Ace playing card symbols, providing familiarity and convenience so players do not constantly need to refer to the paytable for symbol values. This allows players to concentrate on seeking out the mining carts brimming with molten ore, stacked gold bars, and the game’s two human characters, knowing that these symbols hold greater value as the game’s expanding wilds, which can also appear with an embedded multiplier. These characters also add a visual appeal, with a rugged, denim-clad hunk for female players and a factory girl wielding a wrench in a white T-shirt for male players. Giant, freshly minted gold coins serve as the game’s scatters, and landing 3 or more from left to right will trigger free spins.

Features

Among the two titles in the video slot series (the other being the femme fatale-themed Code Name: Katarina), Molten Money stands out slightly as players engage with two 5×3 reel sets with 15 paylines each, totaling 30 paying lines, available to play for a minimum bet of only 1 credit per line. No heavy investment is required to dive into the action.

While the entry point into the industry may seem affordable, high rollers stand to reap greater benefits, as the ‘Reel Intensity’ multiplier, affecting all wins exceeding 400 credits, has a higher base value for higher stakes, indicated by the reel intensity meter above the reels. For wins below 400 credits, a random multiplier is applied, ensuring that every win, regardless of its size, receives a multiplier boost!

Achieve a win surpassing 400 credits to trigger the wheel spins feature, where the real money-making opportunities lie in this game. Players receive a random number of spins across a random number of reel sets, with the wheel spin offering a multiplier. Not only is this feature lucrative on its own, but the spins can also be retriggered, intensifying the excitement of accumulating molten gold in your treasure trove!

Summary

Due to the abundance of multipliers incorporated in the game, the base payouts may not be exceptional. In fact, this is one of the most volatile titles seen in a long time. However, there is a substantial audience of gamers who appreciate this volatility, and for those using a free chip, this game offers the potential for significant payouts with every bet placed. While it may not rival the allure of major film-themed slots, Hot Molten Money has garnered its own dedicated following.
