About this Slot
Hot Potato is a cascading food-themed slot from Thunderkick with an RTP of 96.16%, high volatility and a maximum win of 10,000x. The game is played across 7 reels and 7 rows with Cluster Pays, where five or more adjacent identical symbols form a winning combination.
Cascading wins trigger symbol removal and fresh symbols fall to fill empty spaces. Exploding Wild symbols randomly remove all symbols in a 3x3 area around their position.
A Multiplier Grid starts at x2 per position on the reels. Whenever new Wild symbols land on the grid during play, the multiplier values double. The multipliers can reach a maximum of x128.
Three scatter symbols trigger ten free spins. The Multiplier Grid active in the base game resets when the free spins bonus begins. However, any new Multiplier Grids that form during the free spins round persist for the duration of the feature.
The Buy Feature can be activated for 100x the current bet, granting instant access to the free spins bonus.
