Evoplay, the acclaimed game development studio, has launched Hot Rio Samba, the newest edition in its beloved Hot Rio series that transports players to the lively Carnival where each reel acts as a stage, and every symbol participates in the festivities.

Set against the night sky of Rio De Janeiro, the reels of Hot Rio Samba are designed like a classic land-based slot machine, providing players with a traditional casino experience.

Following each spin, five symbols appear on the three reels, with two or three of them being blank. The goal is to land three symbols that create winning combinations, with assistance from the vibrant Wild that replaces all other symbols.

Enhanced Symbols serve as improved iterations of their standard counterparts. In a successful pairing, an Enhanced Symbol automatically substitutes for its standard version to yield a greater reward.

The Free Spins mode in the title includes 10 bonus rounds, and all earnings during this feature are automatically tripled, with triggering it granting 7 times the wager of the spin that activated it.

Hot Rio Samba is a follow-up to Evoplay’s hit 2023 title Hot Rio Nights, which also comes in a Bonus Buy format, expanding the provider’s varied collection of creative and captivating slots, instant games, and table options.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “With feathers, fireworks, lights and the fiery samba beat guiding every spin, this title brings a colourful celebration to players.

“Offering a more traditional casino experience through the cabinet set and three reels, Hot Rio Samba ups the heat with its fun features and generous rewards. Join the parade and let the rhythm of Rio lead you to big wins!”
