Hot Diggity Dog Fortune Map Slot Review

About the Game

Hot Diggity Dog Fortune Map from Reflex Gaming is a 6×4 reel video slot with 20 fixed paylines.
All line wins are paid left to right on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel.
All paytable symbols pay for 3 or more adjacent symbols on an active payline, with the exception of the Hot Diggity Dog and Wild symbols, which pay for 2 or more adjacent symbols on an active payline.
Only the highest win per payline is paid.
There are 4 low-value symbols represented by the J, Q, K, and A cards, and 5 high-value symbols with dog themes (Beagle, Doberman, Shepherd, Shiba, Terrier), plus the Hot Diggity Dog logo. Additional symbols: Bonus (3 or more in view trigger free spins), Flaming Paw Print (triggers the Hot Dog Mystery feature when it lands in view along with any full stack of Hot Diggity Dog symbols), and Wild.
Wilds, Sticky Super Wilds, and Sticky Mega Wilds substitute for all symbols except the Bonus and Flaming Paw Prints. Wilds also do not substitute for any part of a Hot Diggity Dog stack to trigger the Hot Dog Mystery feature.

Game Rules

Pool Prizes

There are 4 fixed prizes in the pot: Mega, Large, Medium, and Mini.
Mega awards 500x the base bet.
Large awards 100x the base bet.
Medium awards 25x the base bet.
Mini awards 10x the base bet.

Free Spins

Landing 3 or more bonus symbols in the visible area awards 10 free spins. Landing 4 or more bonus symbols in the visible area also awards sticky wild symbols at the start of the free spins.

3 bonus symbols: 0 sticky wild symbols
4 bonus symbols: 1 sticky wild symbol
5 bonus symbols: 2 sticky wild symbols
6 bonus symbols: 3 sticky wild symbols

Sticky wild symbols are randomly placed and remain for the duration of the free spins feature.
Free spins are played with the same number of paylines and bet as the spin that triggered them.

Re-Trigger

During Free Spins, any bonus symbols that come into view are added to the 15-stage track. For every 3 filled steps on the track, a spin of the bonus wheel is awarded (re-trigger feature).
The bonus wheel consists of two concentric discs. The inner disc awards +3, +4, +5, or +6 additional free spins.
The outer disc can award: +1 sticky wild, +2 sticky wilds, +1 sticky super wild, +1 sticky mega wild, or a pot prize.

Sticky super wilds and sticky mega wilds substitute for all regular symbols (except the bonus and flaming paw print) and apply a multiplier to any line wins they are part of. A sticky super wild multiplies a win by 2x, and a sticky mega wild multiplies it by 5x. If multiple sticky super wilds and/or sticky mega wilds are part of the same line win, their multipliers are added together before being applied to the win total.
Sticky wilds awarded by the bonus wheel are added to the reels before any payline wins for that free spin are awarded. Any visible line wins created by landing a sticky wild will be paid on the same spin. A sticky wild will not be placed on top of another sticky wild.

If the outer wheel awards a pot prize, a third wheel appears and spins to award one of the four pot prizes.
Up to 6 additional free spins can be awarded with each re-triggering. A maximum of 5 re-triggers can be achieved, for a total of 40 free spins.

Hot Dog Mystery Bonus

The Hot Dog Mystery Bonus is triggered when a flaming paw print symbol lands on reel 6 with one or more full stacks of Hot Diggity Dog symbols on reels 1 through 5.
When triggered, all Hot Diggity Dog stacks transform into Mystery Reels; each one awards either a cash prize or a pot prize.
Possible Mystery Reel outcomes: 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, MINI prize, MEDIUM prize, LARGE prize, MEGA prize (cash values ​​are shown as multipliers of the base bet).
The Flaming Paw Print symbol appears only on reel 6.
During a random spin in the base game, when a Flaming Paw Print lands on reel 6 and one or more partial Hot Diggity Dog stacks land, the symbols underneath the stacks may scatter, allowing full stacks to fall and trigger the feature.

Fortune Map

The base game features a 6×5 square Fortune Map, which offers 1 free spins and 3 sticky wild symbols hidden among its 30 squares.
Landing 2 bonus symbols within view awards a map pick, where the player can reveal the outcome of the square. Possible outcomes from map picks are: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, MINI, MEDIUM, LARGE, MEGA, free spins, +1 sticky wild, or a blank map square (cash values ​​are shown as multipliers of the base bet).
Any revealed sticky wild symbols are added to the meter. If free spins are awarded from the map, accumulated sticky wild symbols are awarded at the start of the feature. Note: Accumulated sticky wild symbols are not awarded for free spins triggered by 3 visible bonus symbols, only through map selections.
The map state and accumulated sticky wild symbols are retained between selections (with the same bet and game mode) and will only be reset after the free spins are revealed (free spins triggered by spinning the reels will not be reset).
Each bet and game mode has its own map.
When first entering the game and when the map is reinitialized, 5 empty squares are revealed on the map to give the player a head start.
