Play Wild Hot 40 on Bongobongo Kenya

Wild Hot 40 is a slot developed by Fazi, and it’s part of our selection of the most played slots on our platform thanks to its classic feel combined with dynamic gameplay.

It features several popular mechanics such as the Gamble feature and progressive jackpots, both signatures of Fazi. On top of that, it offers an impressive 40 fixed paylines (which is exactly where the “40” in its name comes from). 

Compared to other slots that offer just 5 or 10 paylines, it’s easy to understand why Wild Hot 40 has gained so much attention among players.

How to Play Wild Hot 40: Step by Step

Set Your Bet: At the bottom of the screen, you can set your bet, but keep in mind that your bet is multiplied by all 40 paylines, and you can’t change the number of active paylines in this game.

Spin the Reels: The central button starts the spin. There’s also an Auto Play feature, where you can set a number of automatic spins.

Winning Combinations: To win, you need to land matching symbols on at least one payline.

Scatter Symbol

This symbol doesn’t need to appear on a specific payline to award a prize. If 3 or more stars land anywhere on the screen, you receive an instant payout based on your total bet multiplier.

Special Features

Gamble Feature

After any win in the base game, you’ll have the option to gamble your prize. If you choose to play, you must guess the color of a hidden card (Red or Black). If you guess correctly, your winnings are doubled but if you guess wrong, you lose the entire amount won in that round.

Progressive Jackpots

This game features 3 progressive jackpots displayed at the bottom of the screen: Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. They grow with every bet placed by players across the network, and are triggered randomly. There’s no specific symbol combination required, you can win a jackpot at any time during normal gameplay.
