A funny theme is in full display inside, with a potato that’s being boiled alive as the main character. It might not sound funny, but it is. Hot Potato is also a slot whose setting is in a big city, and it appears that the other major character is a chef from a restaurant. Symbols like soda cans, burgers, French fries, donuts, and other foods are going to be the symbols you see each round.
On the 7×7 grid, you’ll come across pickles, doughnuts, soda cans, fries, burgers, and chefs. Sporting earrings, shades and a gold tooth, the chef is the best-paying symbol.
This online slot can be played here at Lord Ping Casino.
The game's pay table is topped by the Chef symbol, which can pay huge for clusters of 25 or more. Other symbols include the Cheeseburger, French Fries, Soda Can, Donut, and Cucumber, offering varying payouts.
When a winning combination of 5 or more identical symbols lands horizontally and/or vertically, the Avalanche feature comes into play. The winning symbols are removed from the grid with new symbols replacing them. This allows for new winning clusters to be created. The feature continues as long as a new cluster is formed.
Exploding Wilds can land naturally on the reels like all other symbols, or be automatically generated and added to an empty area after a cluster win. After participating in a win, or after no wins occur and Wild is present on the reels, it explodes in a 3x3 area, removing adjacent symbols and uncovering the Multiplier Grid lurking beneath.
Each cell in the underlying Multiplier Grid has a starting value of 2x, revealed when the Wild explodes for the first time. If new Wilds explode and the explosion overlaps the existing multiplier, the value is doubled, all the way up to a maximum of 128x.
