Sizzling Spins review
The most important fact about Sizzling Spins is not on the grill. Play'n GO lists five RTP versions for this 2018 slot, from 96.49% down to 84.47%, and the lowest version costs more than four times as much to play. Behind that sits a barbecue-themed 243-ways game where Blocker symbols turn into Wilds, Hot Reels double a win, and chilli scatters bring free spins on a wider grid.
Blockers, Wilds and Hot Reels
The game has five reels and pays in 243 ways. In the base game, Blocker symbols can be converted into Wilds, and that conversion triggers re-spins. The re-spins are also what activate the Hot Reels.
The Hot Reels carry the headline reward of the base game. The studio says that if every reel is converted, the winnings are multiplied by two. The pack does not say how many Blockers appear, how reels are converted one by one, or what happens when only some reels convert, so only the full-board multiplier is stated here.
Chilli free spins
Chilli Scatter symbols award up to 12 free spins. The studio adds that the win multiplier can be raised by up to 5 times during that round.
The reels also expand in the free spins, which lifts the number of ways from 243 to over a thousand, according to Play'n GO. The pack gives no exact figure for the expanded grid and does not list how many scatters are needed for each spin count, so those details are not covered here.
Five RTP versions
This is the part of the review that matters most for your wallet. The catalogue records 96.49%, 94.48%, 91.48%, 87.48% and 84.47%. Their house edges are 3.51%, 5.52%, 8.52%, 12.52% and 15.53%.
In money terms, every $1,000 wagered costs about $35.10 on the top version, $55.20, $85.20 and $125.20 on the middle ones, and $155.30 on the lowest. A 100-spin session at $1 costs $3.51 on the headline version and $15.53 on the lowest; at $5 it is $17.55 against $77.65; at $0.20 it is $0.70 against $3.11. The gap is large enough that it pays to find out which version you are playing before you stake anything.
Volatility, max win and company
The catalogue gives Sizzling Spins a High volatility label. No maximum win is published, so the biggest possible result cannot be quoted.
Other 2018 games with a High label include Dragon Maiden at 96.49%, Street Magic at 96.48%, Imperial Opera, Legacy of Egypt and Rise of Olympus at 96.5%, and Gold King at 96.53%. The RTP values are almost identical, so the theme and features are the real differences.
Pros

Check which one you are playing, treat the slot as paid entertainment, and use the free demo to learn how the Hot Reels and chilli spins behave.
