The Heat is On Slot

Graphics

And so back to the sexualization and objectification of women. These cops are Wild, but so are the graphics. If the threat of imminent prosecution won’t get you hot under the collar, the female leads in low cut gear are sure to fire you up.

The Cop and Robber are not only very suggestive Wilds, but they can also couple up to form multiple Mixed Wild wins. Fantasy? Such mixed wins will deliver half the payouts of Wilds of the same kind, but are still always welcome.

Our other game symbols include low-paying 10s through Aces, while Explosives, Motorbike, Cop Car, Helicopter and gold-filled Briefcase make up our other game symbols.

Gameplay

Aside from the substituting and Mixed Wild winning combos, we also have a dedicated Free Spins feature to look forward to. Landing three, four or five Bank Scatters on adjacent reels - starting from the leftmost reel - triggers the bonus round, earning 5, 10 or 20 free spins respectively.

But we can stretch this heist out to earn maximum profit by landing additional Scatters. Landing two Bank Scatters on reels 2 or 3 multiplies the number of spins awarded by two. Land two bank Scatters on reels 2 and 3 multiplies the number of spins by four. Doing so will award The Heat Is On slot’s top award of 80 free spins.

And all the while a moody, plucky guitar soundtrack plays over, setting the scene perfectly and exploding into life when we land a big win or trigger the bonus feature. Hot.

Verdict

Whatever your thoughts on Microgaming’s choice of artwork, be it sexy or regressive, it can’t be denied that the Isle of Man iGaming developer knows how to create a playable slot game.

With up to 80 free spins on offer we could find ourselves strolling away from this heist adventure with the kind of haul that could well see us head to somewhere hot. Perfectly legally and above board, of course.
