Brilliants Hot Slot Machine
This review covers one of more visually striking entries from the ingenious minds at Casino Technology, one of the world’s foremost providers of casino games. Brilliants Hot is a video slots game featuring a host of oversized jewels that Smaug himself would be proud to have in his hoard. The jewels in particular are given a vivid, polished appearance, appearing in shades of green, red, blue, purple, white, and yellow. Casino Technology didn’t get to where they are today by producing sub-par games, a fact that anybody familiar with their past offerings can attest to.
Knowing their outstanding reputation for quality, does Brilliants Hot serve as a worthy addition to the Casino Technology repertoire of cash slots games?
The Glistening Allure
Maybe not so hot, but brilliant indeed. No doubt that anybody with an avaricious eye and an appetite for gambling saw themselves attracted to this game, prominently featuring a spate of scintillating jewels adorning the reels upon which they rest. With the corona-like glow bathing the glimmering jewels in an ethereal, otherworldly light, the way they stand out against the void of the background creates such a distinctive look that you can’t help but be drawn in by their irresistible allure.
Like A Clean-Cut Diamond
Visually, the game stands out in a big way. There is no subtlety in the design, as these jewels are unabashedly bombastic and flamboyant in the way they stand out, eagerly conveying the potential riches that await a prospective gambler. In particular, the red heart jewel reminded us of a fierier Heart of the Ocean. It’s an apt comparison really, considering that it was a priceless blue diamond in the movie. You won’t have any issues figuring out how to operate the game, thanks to the clean and intuitive interface of the menu below the reels.
Controlling the Crown Jewels
Staying on that point, those familiar with the way Casino Technology structure their video slots games will no doubt be familiar with the interface and layout of Brilliants Hot. The left side contains the game’s sub-menu, as well as buttons that toggle the sound effects. Coin denominations (ranging from .01 to .25 units of currency) and the number of paylines in play can be altered in the center, and the right side holds the spin button. There are also smaller buttons that toggle the sound effects and music, as well as an option to make the game full-screen should you prefer a more immersive experience. Should you prefer to spin a large number of times without clicking the “spin” button over and over, you can activate an auto-spinner for a predetermined number of spins, adjustable to your preferences.
Let’s be honest, the controls of Brilliants Hot aren’t going to redefine slots play by any means. But the system that Casino Technology has implemented works and works well. You also have the option to play it on free slots no download mode before risking your cash.
An Embarrassment of Riches
From a technical standpoint, Brilliants Hot boasts five reels and up to 20 paylines, giving you a more than reasonable chance to land a winning spin. You can bet one coin per payline. The maximum jackpot is a rather low ten coins, but given how cheap it is to spin, the potential rate of return on your investment can quickly work in your favor. Further increasing the potential for winnings are the presence of Scatter symbols and Wild symbols (the 7 is wild).
A winning multiplier is present as is the possibility of winning free spins, so in spite of the game’s rather low maximum jackpot you can still easily multiply your spent coins into some serious cash. While lack of a bankroll busting progressive jackpot is obviously disappointing, what it offers outside of this has all the tools to impress.
Slot Play at its Most Brilliant
Whether it’s the fun and immersive gameplay, cheap spins, the potential for high rewards, or the striking and vivid color palette, Brilliants Hot has it all. Or rather, mostly, it does lack a bonus game and a progressive jackpot, but that does not stop Brilliants Hot from standing out as one of Casino Technology’s finest entries.
While the game does not offer particularly large jackpots, it is far from your quotidian video slots fare, as this game will quench your thirst for winnings without emptying your pockets in the process. Fun, well-designed, and as polished as the jewels themselves, if you want to play a good game of video slots without breaking the bank, Brilliants Hot needs to be the next game on your list.
