Hot Ross

Inside the game

Captured in the studio's own free demo on 11 September 2026. Nothing below is taken from a press release or another site — it is what the game shows when you open it.

The base gameFive reels and five rows of back-alley symbols: banana, fish bone, spray can, dice and high card royals. Bottom left, the round BUY BONUS button opens the feature purchase; the demo bet sits at €2.00 and no price is shown on the button.
Game rules, page 1The panel's opening page: the game states five reels, five rows and paylines. Below it comes its signature feature — when a Ro$$ or Hot Ro$$ symbol lands, it expands if it would then be part of at least one winning combination, and every position it covers counts as Wild; a Ro$$ that does not expand stays a single Wild, and only one Ro$$ or Hot Ro$$ can land per reel. Ro$$ symbols expand downward, to the bottom of the grid.
Game rules, page 2The Hot Ro$$ moves to the top of its reel and expands downward to cover the whole reel, then makes the Ro$$ symbols on the reels directly to its left and right do the same. When a Ro$$ or Hot Ro$$ expands through a Wild it turns into a multiplier applied to the entire expanded symbol; the page lists the possible values — 2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, 6×, 7×, 8×, 9×, 10×, 15×, 20×, 25×, 50×, 100× and 200× — and states that they are added together.
Game rules, page 3The first two bonuses. CAT CALLS opens on 3 FS scatters landing together in the base game and gives 10 free spins, with an increased chance of Ro$$ and Hot Ro$$ symbols. NINE LIVES needs 4 FS scatters for the same 10 spins and adds activated reels: a reel where a Ro$$ or Hot Ro$$ lands stays activated for the rest of the bonus and is guaranteed one on every spin. During the round, 2 FS symbols add 2 spins and 3 add 4.
Game rules, page 4The third bonus, BIGG BOSS ROSS, opens on 5 FS scatters landing together and gives 10 free spins in which at least two Hot Ro$$ and one Wild are guaranteed every spin; as elsewhere, 2 FS symbols add 2 spins and 3 add 4. The pay table starts at the bottom: at the €2.00 bet on screen, the 10 and the J pay €10.00 for five, the Q and the K €15.00, the ace €20.00.
Game rules, page 5The rest of the pay table, still at the €2.00 bet and in three bands of three to five symbols: banana and fish bone at €30.00, spray can and dice at €35.00, the exploding eight-ball at €40.00, and the Wild at €50.00 for five. Below the table the game states its theoretical return, 96.32%, calculated over ten billion simulated rounds, and notes that the Wild substitutes for every symbol in the pay table.
Ways to winThe lines page: symbols pay left to right on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost one, and the game states that the number of possible lines is 19 — the nineteen patterns are drawn below on the five-by-five grid. Above, two restrictions: an FS symbol cannot land below a Ro$$ nor on the same reel as a Hot Ro$$, and once four reels are activated in NINE LIVES, no FS symbol lands at all.
Bonus buyThe purchase page: the BUY BONUS button buys a feature straight from the main game, and the FeatureSpins option charges a set amount on every spin, based on the current bet, until it is switched off with DISABLE. Each buyable entry — BONUSHUNT, FEISTY, EPIC DROP, CAT CALLS, NINE LIVES and BIGG BOSS ROSS — carries its own return figure, which the page states one by one.
SpinThe limits and the paying rules: the bet runs from €0.10 to €50.00, and the game notes that feature buys may exceed that ceiling. A spin starts from the round button or the space bar, wins from one round are added together in the WIN field, and only the highest combination is paid per line. The MAX WIN section warns that once the maximum win is reached the round ends immediately and any remaining free spins are discarded.
Game rules, page 9The controls page: autoplay chains a chosen number of rounds and is halted with the STOP button, its advanced settings add a session loss limit and a single-win limit, and Turbo Play — not offered by every operator — is set from the menu. Then comes the list of keyboard shortcuts, from SHIFT + S for sound to SHIFT + ENTER to confirm a purchase.
