Pragmatic Play has looked back to the pioneering days of online pokies as it launches its brand-new Shining Hot series of games. You can travel back in time with a variety of old-school pokies enhanced with some modern mechanics. The retro collection of new games includes four titles, Shining Hot 100 with 100 paylines, and Shining Hot 40, Shining Hot 20, and Shining Hot 5 that feature 20, 20, and 5 paylines, respectively.
All the titles adopt the same fruit machine throwback theme. Boldly drawn symbols like oranges, cherries, lemons, and flaming diamond wilds fill the grid while a red-hot flame motif serves as the background.
The 5 and 20 payline variants adopt a 5×3 reel format, while the 40 and 100 payline versions sport a 5×4 reel layout, although the gameplay is the same across the board.
Things get interesting when the reels go ‘hot‘, offering winning potential of up to 2,500x your bet. The pokies’ basic gameplay is bonus feature-free, allowing you an interrupted, straightforward experience that only fruit machines can deliver.
Yossi Barzely, the Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, offered his thoughts on the new pokies, commenting,
“We’ve turned back the clock to roll out a wonderful collection of Vegas-style slot products. Combining the unique theme with the immersive experience that our products are known for, it allows us to cater to all demographics and preferences.”
Pragmatic Play releases up to seven new slot titles per month while also maintaining focus on its Live Casino and Bingo offerings that form part of its multi-product portfolio, available through a single API. The company has made the news for all the right reasons recently, releasing new baccarat variants, debuting a new candy-themed pokie called Sugar Rush, and making waves in the Argentinian market via a partnership with local operator, Pálpitos.
