Supreme Hot Pokie
Anyone looking for a nostalgic pokie, filled with fruits, 7’s, bars and stars, should find that the Supreme Hot video pokie from EGT fits the bill perfectly. Classic 3-reel games like this tend to just have a few paylines, but this is where it all gets interesting, as this has the Reel Ways Pays system that gives players 27 different ways to line symbols up, and multiplies wins when more than a single example of a symbol is on a reel.
It’s an innovative way to land some potentially big wins, and while this isn’t completely unique, it offers up an exciting twist on the usual format. As usual with fruit-based pokies, there are no bespoke bonus features, although wins of less than 175 coins can be gambled in an optional side game, and there’s a randomly-awarded progressive jackpot round connected to the Club, Diamond, Heart and Spade values shown above the reels.
These share space with the game title, while below the main part, there’s a standard set of control buttons which players use to determine bet sizes and get the reels spinning. The low limit is for a stake of 5 coins which can be raised to a maximum of 100, and free Supreme Hot video pokies are available for anyone who likes to test an unknown game out before playing for real.
Playing Supreme Hot
Symbols are arranged in 3 rows and create winlines when all 3 reels have at least 1 example of the same symbol on each. The order of value will be familiar to anyone who has played a fruit machine before, starting at the bottom with the cherries, apples, oranges and grapes that are each worth 10 coins when the same type is on all reels and the player has a 5-coin stake.
Going up in value, there’s golden bells and a purple star that each pay out 80 coins, and then a gold BAR icon is worth 100. Higher up, we see the $ symbol, and when this appears on all reels, players are rewarded with a prize of 200 coins, but the top wins in normal play come from the red 7 that returns 300.
All of these wins can be multiplied if more than a single example is on a reel, for example, landing the cherries across 3 reels, where any has more than a single cherry symbol on them will double the basic prize value. If any of the fruit symbols fill all 9 spots on the reels with the same type at once, then on top of all 27 winlines being awarded, the prize is multiplied 2x, which is going to add up to some substantial payouts. There’s no wild symbol, or scatters in this pokie, so gameplay is simply a matter of spinning reels and seeing what combinations appear, but there are a couple of extra features that are common to all EGT casino games online.

Other Features
If a win was less than 175 coins, players will be offered a chance to double it, potentially over and over again in a gamble game. It takes place on a second screen, where a playing card is flashing between red and black, with the aim being to correctly time a click on red or black buttons to match the card. If it’s timed right, the doubled prize can either be cashed out, or players can try to double it again, but the risk is that a wrong pick will be made at some point, which not only loses the triggering win but also any gains made in the gamble round.
The other bonus feature is the Jackpot Cards round and anyone lucky enough to be awarded it will be guaranteed to win one of the progressive prizes. They will see 12 playing cards and the suits of each are revealed with a click. Once 3 of a suit have been found the connected jackpot is claimed, and while the Club prize is relatively small, the values go up to the far larger Spade award.
The Verdict
People shouldn’t let the unassuming design of this pokie put them off, as there’s hidden rewards that only become clear as the reels spin. The 27 different ways to line up winning combinations, along with the fantastic multiplier rewards that can occur, makes this a far more exciting game than it first appears to be.
It isn’t mobile optimised, and the fact that wins can be so big means that it has a fairly high volatility, where most spins won’t return anything, but like all EGT games, it’s fair, reliable, has high-quality graphics and a good return to player percentage.
