Hot to Burn Hold and Spin is a Pragmatic Play fruit slot and a separate game from the original Hot to Burn. Five reels and three rows carry 20 fixed lines, a wild and a star scatter. Five or more money symbols start a Hold and Spin round with four respins, and a screen filled with them spins the Big Money Wheel, with prizes from 10x to 5,000x the bet. Pragmatic rates it medium volatility and caps a win at 20,000 times the bet.

Where Hot to Burn Hold and Spin comes from
Pragmatic Play launched Hot to Burn Hold and Spin on 5 March 2021 as an upgraded sequel to the original Hot to Burn. Its launch post adds burning wilds, which the original lacked, and a Hold and Spin feature in place of free spins.
How Hot to Burn Hold and Spin works
Five reels, three rows and 20 paylines, all played on every spin. Symbols pay left to right on adjacent reels from the leftmost one, only the best win on each line counts, and wins on several lines add up.
Line wins are multiplied by the bet per line, a twentieth of the total bet, and bonus wins by the total bet. The symbols are a 7, a BAR, a watermelon, a strawberry, a plum, an orange, cherries and an X, which is an ordinary paying symbol, not a blank.
The wild, a tile with WILD written in flames, stands in for every symbol except the money symbols and the scatter, and wilds can also appear at random on any spin. The scatter, a gold star, pays anywhere.
Hot to Burn Hold and Spin paytable in multiples of the total bet
Every pay is a multiple of the total bet. Line pays count from the leftmost reel, stars anywhere, and the wild pays the same as the 7.
| Symbol | Five | Four | Three | Two |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 or wild | 250x | 50x | 5x | - |
| BAR | 25x | 10x | 2.5x | - |
| Watermelon, strawberry or plum | 10x | 2.5x | 1x | - |
| Orange or X | 2.5x | 0.5x | 0.1x | - |
| Cherries | 2.5x | 0.5x | 0.1x | 0.05x |
| Star (scatter, anywhere) | 100x | 20x | 1x | - |
What the paytable means on a R2 spin
At a R2 total bet, R0.10 on each of the 20 lines.
- Five 7s on a line pay R500. That is 250 times the total bet, the top line pay, for five 7s or five wilds. Four pay R100 and three R10.
- Two cherries return one line's stake. They pay R0.10, a twentieth of the spin, so a spin paid only that still costs R1.90. Cherries are the only symbol that pays for two.
- Three low symbols pay a tenth of the bet. Three oranges, X symbols or cherries pay R0.20, and three watermelons, strawberries or plums pay R2, the whole stake.
Hold and Spin: five money symbols, four respins
The money symbols are burning suns and diamonds. They can land on all reels and take a random value on every spin from a set the rules do not list. The wild does not stand in for them.
Five or more on one spin trigger the feature once that spin's line wins are paid. Only the money symbols stay, and the reels switch to special ones holding money symbols and empty spaces.
You start with four respins. Every money symbol that lands stays until the round ends, and each respin on which at least one lands resets the count to four. The round ends when the respins run out or all 15 positions are filled, and the values of all money symbols are then added up and paid.
Pragmatic's game page says a new money symbol resets the count to three, while the rules in the game say four. Money symbols have no pay of their own, so four or fewer on a normal spin pay nothing.
The Big Money Wheel and the 20,000x cap
If Hold and Spin fills the whole screen, the Big Money Wheel starts. It awards a random prize or a blank: 21 prizes from 10x to 100x the bet in steps of 10x, 200x to 1,000x in steps of 100x, then 2,000x and 5,000x.
Each prize spins the wheel again, and a blank or the maximum win ends it. Then everything won in the round and on the wheel is paid. No odds are published for filling the screen or for a blank.
A win stops at 20,000 times the bet: a round that reaches it ends at once and any features left are forfeited. On a R2 spin that is R40,000.
Pragmatic now rates the game medium volatility: such games "pay out steadily and the range of pays varies from low to very high". Its 2021 launch post called it "highly volatile".
