Hot Rod Racers (Relax Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Hot Rod Racers Slot Details

Hot Rod Racers runs on five reels, four rows and 30 fixed paylines, paying for three to five matches from left to right. Stakes range from 0.10 to 40 per spin, suiting mobile, tablet or desktop. The default RTP sits at 96.00% with very high volatility rated 5/5 and a hit rate around one in four. The headline figure is the maximum win of 25,000 times your bet, so the game can swing hard but carries proper top-end potential when the features line up.

The low-paying set is the card suits – diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades – all worth 2.5x your bet for five of a kind. Four Hot Rod cars in blue, green, red and purple form the high pays, returning 5x to 10x for five. Two wilds appear: Wheelspin Wilds on reels two to five and Nitro Wilds on reels one and five. Five wilds award 20x. Racing flag scatters land on the three centre reels and can trigger the features.

Hot Rod Racers Slot Features

Wheelspin Wilds are the main act in the base game. Landing on reels two to five, each one races left on its row, transforming every Hot Rod it passes into a wild. Stack more than one on the same row and the overriding symbol adds a +1 multiplier for every Wheelspin Wild and converted car it crosses. Multipliers combine by multiplication when part of the same win, but only wins containing multiplier wilds benefit. All multipliers reset before the next spin.

Hit three racing flag scatters on the centre reels to trigger 10 Free Spins. Retriggers are off the table, so the value comes from sticky Wheelspin Wilds. Any that land will lock for the duration and fire on every remaining spin, repeatedly converting high-paying cars on their rows. The tension builds nicely when several lock across different rows, as you set up lanes where conversions can land back-to-back and drop multi-line wins without needing complex setups.

The premium is Super Free Spins, which need Nitro Wilds on reels one and five in the same spin as the three scatters. You get 10 spins, sticky Wheelspin Wilds and marked frames with multipliers that start at x1 on converted spots and climb by one each time a conversion hits, capped at x5. Multipliers multiply each other in the same combo. You can buy features at 80x for Free Spins or 400x for Super, both with a 97% buy RTP.

Final Verdict on Hot Rod Racers

I rate Hot Rod Racers as a fast slot with action in the base game and features. Wheelspin Wilds trigger often enough to set up tidy hits, while the real headliner is Super Free Spins thanks to stacked multipliers and sticky behaviour. The 96.00% RTP is standard, but the 25,000x ceiling keeps me in the race despite very high variance. The garage theme and rock soundtrack fit the pace, and I had some proper wins when things aligned.
