Hot 5 Deluxe Slot Machine
Fancy some retro spinning action but tired of the same old 3-reel games? This slot machine by Zeus Gaming might just offer what you're looking for with its 5 reels full of timelessly classic fruit machine icons. As such, players have 5 paylines upon which to line up those all important winning sequences, the biggest of which will award a handsome 5000.00 credit jackpot.
The bad news about Hot 5 Deluxe is that there isn't much more to the game than that. There are no free spins, no wild wins, and no bonus side games. Although players will able to benefit from a devilish scatter symbol and a straightforward double or nothing gamble game.
5-reels, 5-paylines
If you're looking for a classic 5-reel slot machine with all of the same basic design features of a 3-reel game, then you won't go too wrong with this effort by Zeus Play. All of the usual arcade symbols are present with cherries, oranges, plums, lemon, grapes and watermelons as well as a big red number 7. The only unusual thing that you might come across is a cheeky little devil character who acts as the game's scatter to award wins without lining up on a payline.
Of course, this game doesn't particularly have to do anything special on the design front to attract the punters. Because, let's face it, the main draw of any classically themed game is to be found in the paytable rather than the appearance of the reels themselves. And that's probably for the best because this game is not exactly going to blow your minds with any stunning visual effects other than a few simple flames whenever matching symbols align in winning combinations.
Although, having said that, spinners will be treated to a quite unique soundtrack as the reels spin with a musical score like something more suitable for an epic fantasy-horror themed game rather than an arcade style slot machine. Players will even hear some high-pitched cackles when prizes are won, which definitely feels a bit incongruous with the vintage visual vibe. Nevertheless, there is always a mute button!
Spin yourself a 5,000x jackpot
This 5-reel retro game may not be anything special in terms of design, but it might still be worth a punt with a fairly attractive range of payout prizes. The majority of these wins are line bet multipliers which can be formed from finding any of the normal paying icons in rows upon the 5 permanent paylines, from the leftmost reel going rightwards. That is except for the scattered devil icon which will pay a total bet multiplier of 2x, 10x and 50x when three, four, or five appear respectively in any position.
Even though the game's 5 paylines are fixed into position, players still have plenty of wagering options, with line bets ranging from as little as 0.01 to as much as 1.00 – making for a maximum possible total bet of 5.00 credits. The most lucrative line bet multiplier prizes are awarded when five number 7 icons appear on a payline, paying a prize of 5,000x which could potentially turn a maximum line bet of 1.00 credit into a 5,000.00 credit jackpot.
After that, the game's prizes fall drastically to the watermelons and grapes, both of which will pay out 500x the value of the line bet when five align. All of the remaining fruit symbols will award a 200x line bet prize for five in a row.

Go big with a 50/50 gamble
No matter how much players win with Hot 5 Deluxe, they will always have a chance to double it up with a 50/50 gamble game. This basic card based side game asks players to guess whether a turned over playing card is red or black. Guess right to double your prize. Guess wrong and the win will be forfeited.
High five?
Hot 5 Deluxe by Zeus Play is a classically inclined 5-reel slot machine which offers exactly what you would expect from a retro fruit machine style game. Other than a scattered devil symbol and some rather odd sound effects, there are no gimmicks to speak of. However, players who can get by without any bonus entertainment might find some handsome rewards in this 5-payline game thanks to its 5,000 credit jackpot which offers more than other titles from Zeus such as Candy Land.
