Extreme Heat is the third and final installment in the Retro Reels series by Microgaming. Like the preceding two games in the series, this one is also based on the “old meets new” principle that fuses some aspects of classic games with crisp modern graphics and numerous paylines. The usual fruit symbols are given a makeover to fit the hot fire-flaming theme and a wild symbol is added to the paytable, offering you a better chance to win big. And certainly, you still have a very well-received Respin feature that will capture your attention and bring some good wins.

In Extreme Heat, there are three betting options to suit most kinds of players. You can choose a coin size up to $0.25 and the amount of coins up to 15. The number of active lines is also customizable and you can consider minimizing it to 1 or wager on all the 30 lines, therefore, the betting range for the game is $0.01 to $112.50 per each spin. All regular symbols pay for 3 to 5 of the same kind. Besides, bars and sevens form mixed combos; and hitting any bars or any sevens (single, double or triple variations) pays x5 to x50. Matched regular pics award up to x500.

Bonus features

As distinct from the other two variations in the Retro Reels series, Extreme Heat has a wild symbol represented by a Dollar Sign ablaze. The wild replaces all normal symbols, helping them complete winning combinations, and creates its own combos when 3+ of them appear on an enabled payline. The maximum payout for five Dollar Signs is x10,000 or $37,500 on the highest acceptable stake.

A Free Spin Bonus symbol is a scatter that pays regardless of its stop position if at least two of these land. Scatter wins vary between x1 and x50 a total bet. Besides, three of these symbols are enough to initiate 10, 15 or 20 free spins with all prizes multiplied by x2 during the feature.

After any spin in the base game you are given the option to respin any of the five reels at an extra cost, indicated below each reel. The price of respinning is unique for each individual reel and is determined based on the possibility of a specific reel bringing you a cash prize, so the closer you are to creating a high-paying combination, the more expensive a respin.
