Retro online slots are a popular niche around New Zealand and this has seen many games use this theme over time. Hot Blizzard is a slot which falls into this category without question. If you have a hankering to play a game with a real nostalgic flavour, this is a great option. But which provider is behind this homage to slots of old?

It is none other than Tom Horn. While this developer might not be a huge name like NetEnt or Microgaming, they are ones to take note of. This games studio was set-up in 2008 which means they have lots of experience within iGaming to call on. Tom Horn are also known for delivering games for both desktop and mobile play. They have offices in Malta, Slovenia and Ukraine while also holding licences to operate from both the UK Gambling Commission and Malta Gaming Authority.

But does Hot Blizzard deliver the right amount of fiery action to players in New Zealand?

Hot Blizzard gameplay

In terms of visuals, this is a tough game to call. While you expect a retro-themed slot to have a nostalgic feel, the graphics here are almost too plain. It would have been nice to see the theme executed with a bit more flair. The game background for example is colourful enough but pretty boring to look at. The game’s soundtrack is nothing to write home about either. There is just a fairly standard sound of reels spinning on each go. While you have to expect this from a retro game, the developers could have made the sound FX a bit more engaging. On the plus side though, colour is used well in the game design and the old school fruit symbols do set the tone nicely. The general retro feel is also helped along by the 3 row, 5 reel set-up which mirrors the type found in land-based pub slots in the past. There is also a jackpot of 10,000 times your stake on offer which is very appealing. Players of all levels should find this fun and simple to play thanks to the uncluttered screen layout. In terms of RTP, this game has a figure of 95.80% which is a little under some of the best video slot RTPs around.

Hot Blizzard bonuses

Although this is a retro slot with a fairly basic design, there are a few good bonuses on offer here. The Wild will stand in for other symbols (apart from the Scatter) in the base game, thus generating more winning combos potentially. There is also a Gamble bonus which shows up after each winning spin. This sees you deciding whether to collect your winnings or gamble to double the prize up. If you gamble, you need to successfully predict if the on-screen card’s suit is black or red. If you guess right, you get double your money. This game also has a nice Free Spins feature to enjoy. If 3 or over Scatters show up on-screen, you can get up to 30 Free Spins. A 3 times win multiplier is also attached to these Free Spins.
