Sizzling Hot Deluxe — slot review

Across the post-Soviet world players affectionately call this slot 'the fruit compote'. Five reels, five paylines, no wilds and no free spins: just cherries, lemons, plums, watermelons and those coveted sevens, five of which on a line land the top prize. The star scatter pays anywhere on the screen, and the gamble feature lets you double up your wins by guessing the colour of a card. Sizzling Hot Deluxe is the quintessence of fruity classics: simple rules, honest even-keeled gameplay and an instantly recognisable neon style. It's a hit with anyone worn out by bonus-heavy new releases who wants pure retro thrills, where the reels do the talking rather than dozens of modifiers.
