20 Super Hot Pokie
Players who like their pokie games to look like classic fruit machines will love 20 Super Hot, as images of lemons, oranges and cherries are about all they will get, although a big, red 7 and a star symbol are thrown into the mix, adding a little variety and making the game look less like a fruit and vegetable shop.
20 Super Hot video pokies by EGT may not have loads of features, but that’s exactly what many players are looking for, and like all games from this developer, there’s the chance to double-up every win, along with a 4-level progressive jackpot round that’s guaranteed to be won whenever it’s triggered.
The fruit-flavoured action takes place over 5 reels, where symbols are arranged in 3 rows, and 20 fixed paylines run across the game from left to right. Winning a prize in the base game is just a matter of landing 3, 4 or 5 of the same type of fruit across any of these lines, in an unbroken row starting from the left-hand reel. As all lines are activated, there’s no option to test this pokie out with just a tiny stake, but most casino will let you play for free before committing real money, and the minimum stake is only 0.20 per spin anyway.
Playing 20 Super Hot
The game title comes from the 20 paylines, and the fact that any symbols that make up a winning combination will burst into flame in a nice animation. A review of the pay table will help gamblers to see how the game works, but this is a very basic pokie that holds few surprises. The smallest wins occur when lemons, oranges or cherries stop across a line, with 10x, 20x or 100x the line bet being returned for getting 3, 4 or 5 of a kind across the reels. Plums and a juicy slice of watermelon are worth 20x, 40x or 200x the line bet and the most valuable fruit symbol is a bunch of grapes that will pay out 20x, 80x or 400x when 3, 4 or 5 appear.
The red 7 symbol is, however, even more rewarding, as landing this classic icon across the reels will see wins of 40x, 400x or 1000x the line bet, and it’s also the wildcard of 20 Super Hot. This means that the 7 will be able to substitute for any other symbol, with the notable exception of the star, if it can then help to complete a winning line, while it can also stretch lines across reels 4 and 5 to give players the top payouts.
The yellow star is a scatter symbol, so it won’t need to land across a win-line and can literally be scattered in any positions to create a win. The best wins of the game, apart from the potential jackpots, will be paid out by the star, with 100x, 400x and an amazing 10,000x the amount bet per line for getting 3, 4 or 5 of them at once.

Bonus Features
Although there are no conventional bonus features like free spins or mini-games to trigger, there’s still a couple of features that can add excitement to normal gameplay. Any win of less than 700 coins can be gambled, although it’s an optional round and can be quite tricky to gain from. Players who choose to enter the gamble feature will be shown a rapidly flashing playing card and the aim is to select the Red or Black buttons next to it, which stops the flashing on one of these colours. A correct pick will see the triggering win doubled in value and players can either collect it, or try to double it again, but of course, get it wrong and the prize is taken away.
The Jackpot Cards feature is another bonus found across the EGT range and can be triggered at any time. Players will be shown 12 face-down cards and need to pick them in turn until 3 of the same suit have been found. Each of the 4 jackpots displayed above the reels is linked to a suit, and the jackpot paid out will correspond to the cards uncovered.
The Verdict
This mobile-optimised pokie appeals mainly because of the nostalgia that it brings. Classic pub pokie machines used to have fruit, 7’s and stars spinning down the reels, and little if anything in the way of bonus rounds. So EGT have released a game that’s designed to attract those people who still like the older style, and the 20 Super Hot video pokie could become a firm favourite with many of them.
