Checkmate Hot 1 Stats

About Checkmate Hot 1

The Hot 1 climax is exclusive to Hot Rise Games video slots, and it’s well worth trying out all of our Hot 1 games for the thrill of it, and for the potential extra prizes that can be generated. In Checkmate Hot 1, you’ll be on the lookout for the Bonus symbol because it can propel you straight into a very exciting bonus round, with two different Respin features and also some free spins, along with entertaining extras such as sticky symbols.

As you might expect from the name, in this slot the symbols take the form of chess pieces. If you know your way around a chess board, the game will probably feel pretty intuitive to you, with the higher-value pieces on the board forming the higher-value symbols in this slot.

In Hot 1 games, the bonus round comes with extra twists. Land three Bonus symbols to enter the Free Spins round, and your triggering Bonus symbols transform into sticky symbols that lock in place and remain on the screen for the rest of the feature, while the other reels respin. You can land new sticky symbols during the Bonus round, but these symbols are constantly changing, with the stickies cycling through the higher chess pieces one by one.

As the value of your chess pieces slowly increases, and you move toward the King and Queen symbols, the number of Sticky symbols also increases and the win potential steadily grows. You get seven free spins, including your final guaranteed Hot 1 spin that kicks in after your first six free spins.

The Hot 1 mechanic, also known as the Hot 1 climax, kicks in with the final free spin. At this point, the Wild chess player takes over the sticky symbols that have already been collected on the grid, turning them into 2x Multiplier Wilds instead, for a big win boost!

Along the way, you may come across other features such as the Mystery Respin. You’ll need to land two Bonus symbols anywhere on the grid to trigger this one, and the two reels that contain the Bonus symbols will be held in place while the remaining reels respin, with all the respins automatically played at the same bet as the triggering spin.

The Respins round cannot be re-triggered during the feature. However, you can trigger the Free Spins round during the Respins round if you land a further three or more Bonus symbols on a single spin, which again, can land anywhere on the reels.

And there’s more! There is something known as a Bonus Chance Respin in this slot, along with a Wild Gambit Respin. With the Bonus Chance Respin, the triggering Bonus Symbols do not transform into sticky symbols, but spin again, and in the Wild Gambit Respin, the two triggering Bonus symbols actually transform into 2x Multiplier Wilds.

There’s so much fun packed into Checkmate Hot 1, but don’t take our word for it. Try out the game for free today with the Checkmate Hot 1 free demo game.

Wilds and Bonus symbols don’t carry a face value, though some would say that they’re the most valuable symbols in the game, unlocking the multiple bonus rounds and higher wins.
