How To Play Hot Potato! Mobile Slot
Head to the unhealthiest food joint in town, the Hot Potato! slot game where fast food and Exploding Wilds help to create wins up to 10,000x your bet.
The Hot Potato! mobile slot is a 7×7 grid slot from Thunderkick with Cluster Pays mechanics paying for finding 5 or more of the same symbol touching horizontally or vertically.
With that, you’ll find Cascading Reels adding more action, Exploding Wilds leaving behind Multipliers a high 96.16% RTP and a top win of 10,000x your stake, which can be achieved via the free spins bonus feature.
It’s not the greatest slot theme around, but it’s one that can give you a quick fast-food fix and some exciting spins.
Explodng Wilds steal the show
Hot Potato wilds mixed with a Multiplier Grid are the saving grace of this Thunderkick Hot Potato! slot machine.
Find a Hot Potato typically on a winning cascade, and it will explode a 3×3 grid of symbols, laying down a multiplier grid under the symbols and allowing more symbols to fall into place.
It’s the extra cascade mixed with the Multiplier Grid below, which helps to create bigger wins in the base game and in the free spins as the Multipliers double each time a Wild explodes on top of an existing multiplier.
This can lead to 8x, 64x or more multipliers, helping to boost what’s typically a low-paying cluster pays paytable.
Hot Potato! Slot Free Spins with Sticky Multipliers
It’s in the free spins where the Hot Potato Exploding Wilds add even more thrills to the game.
How? Cause when they land and add the multipliers to the grid below, they now stay sticky. This means that more Exploding Wilds land can double their multiplier even more as they don’t reset on a non-winning spin.
However, as this is a high volatility slot, whether you land some good wins is hit and miss. We’ve seen wins of just 12x our bet across 10 free spins and wins of over 180x our bet on occasion.
In some countries, you could access the Buy Feature, which for 100x your current bet will let you buy the free spins bonus. However, given he reliability of winning big in this game, it comes with a lot more risk than trying to trigger them naturally.

Hot Potato! Bonus Features
Exploding Wilds: The Potato is the Wild symbol which, when it appears randomly on a spin or a cascade, will explode, removing a 3x3 grid of symbols and replacing them with a multiplier grid starting at 2x. For every explosion that's on top of an existing multiplier, it will double the multiplier. This occurs until no more wins are made resetting in the base game.
Cluster Pays: Find 5 or more of the same symbols touching horizontally or vertically to create a winning combination.
Cascading Reels: On a win, the winning symbols explode, letting new symbols drop down to fill the space. During a cascade, an Exploding Wild symbol can randomly land, triggering the Exploding Wild feature.
Free Spins: Land 3 HOT scatter symbols, and you'll trigger 10 free spins. During the free spins, the Multiplier Grid left by an Exploding Wild isn't reset on a non-winning spin, instead, it stays sticky for the duration of the free spins.
Buy Feature: For 100x your current bet level, you can buy the free spins bonus.
