Hot Hot 8 by WMS! Anyone seen it? Anyone played it?

Just curious as to what the bet and increment are.

Supposedly it's at Cosmopolitan.

 

Oh yeah, definitely gonna find one of these. Looks fun.

 

Cosmo should have it. They advertised it in the snail mail offer I just received.

 

I played it at Cosmo last month. Pretty sure max bet was $2 which was surprising. I was actually disappointed with the game, but your mileage may vary.

 

It was in a TR somewhere. Maybe Tanner's awesome one?

It is at Cosmo I know that, from the TR. If I remember correctly is .25 per game?

 

Found it... on this page...

There is some videos on YouTube of it. Pays look awful.

 

Lol. Yeah. It's prominently displayed on the email offer I got this morning too.

 

Crap game low pays. I would stay away

 

Thats covered in the video you posted: its a fixed 25 cents per game you want to play, up to 8 (max bet of $2.00). There are no bet increments.

 

Wow. If this single bet size was forced by WMS, they better make a software update before wasting tons of money on this game.

 

I thought there would be more denominations, Like $1.00 or $5.00 per game.

 

You can play less than the $2.00 max bet by playing less games at once (IE: play only 5 of the games at a time and its $1.25 a spin)

This is something I would probably want to play at $4.00 per spin and then if I can get on a bit of a roll or am just feeling lucky move it up to $6-8 per spin... but I am guessing they made it fixed because of the progressive jackpots where you can increase your chance to win a progressive by playing more games, but to actually give a bet multiplier would have to increase the progressive amounts and that might make it hard to control the game's payback if somebody was playing only one game but had a bet multiplier on that game (IE: playing just the Zeus game x5 for $1.25 and what that would have to do to the progressives - does the player get more chances or do they get a progressive multiplier)

 

I'm not a fan of the multi screen games. Too much action. Plus the minimum bet is usually $2-$3 on machines like Wonder 4. The problem is you're only playing the minimum bet on those 4 games at that point, so your wins are miniscule as well. You can of course up your bet to 3-5x minimum bet, but then you're taking $10 rips. I'd rather just play the single screen game, and bet max like I normally do. I'm not getting more entertainment out of 4 screens, I'm just going to burn my money 4 times as fast, or play at the same rate, but have tiny wins. No Thanks...

As for this particular game, it's the same problem. You're betting $2.00 a rip, but all your wins are going to be based of a .25 cent bet, which basically means you're just going to bleed money every spin, unless you hit a bonus (in which case you'll still only win a little bit compared to your overall wager) or a progressive. You would need an 8x win on a spin just to break even. A 100x win (which is rare) will net you a whopping $25. I'd rather take $2 rips on an old school three reel machine...

 

Yeah 25c bet per game whoptee doo

 

I suppose this is the alternative to Wonder 4. I hope WMS counters with a Wonder 4 version with their classic 20 and 25 line games.

 

I played it at Cosmo and had a great time. Actually won a little bit of money on it. Put a $20 in it and cashed out for $180. Bonused a few times and actually had a decent run since I only put $20 in

 

Likewise. I played it at Harrahs Lake Tahoe this past weekend.

Hit the Hot Hot bonus several times and the game bonuses several times as well. Was up a little over $100 when I left.
