Step onto the Checkmate Hot 1 board, where 5 reels and 25 paylines await to determine your fate. This chess-themed battle offers up plenty of strategic ways to win, captivating players with its sophisticated game mechanics.
The background of the game shows a large and high hall of an old building. You see beautiful windows, high pillars and red walls. The floor is made of white and black square tiles, which is also reflected in the chess game.
The reels show, among other things, the well-known chess pieces . Think of the tower, the horse, the pillar; you come across it all. A blonde lady is also rotated as a symbol. You will also come across card symbols such as diamonds, spades, clubs and hearts. They appear as diamonds on the reels.
High-value symbols include the King, Queen, Rook, Bishop, Knight, and Pawn, offering varying payouts.
Playing cards represent the lower-value symbols, contributing to the game’s overall chess ambiance.
Wild Chess Player acts as a wild, substituting for base game symbols to form winning combinations and doubling the prize.
Golden Bonus Symbols are the keys to unlocking the game’s bonus features, including free spins and respins.
Once the Free Spins feature is activated, all triggering Bonus Symbols will lock in place and transform to the lowest chess piece symbol. When a new Bonus Symbol appears in view, it also turns sticky and awards +1 extra spin. When no new Bonus Symbols appear, the sticky symbols turn into the next chess symbol, and the same process continues through to the top-paying chess symbol.
The final free spin triggers the Hot1 feature, during which all sticky symbols turn into Wild symbols. If a new Bonus Symbol appears during the Hot1 spin, it also turns into a Sticky Wild and an additional spin is awarded. If no new Bonus Symbols land in view, the Hot1 feature comes to an end and players return to the base game.
