What is Hot Diggity Dog Fortune Map?

Hot Diggity Dog Fortune Map is built around several connected bonus mechanics. The persistent Fortune Map can already become active when 2 Bonus symbols land, while 3 or more Bonus Scatters trigger the Free Spins directly.

During Free Spins, Sticky Wilds can remain locked in position and new Bonus symbols are collected towards the Bonus Wheel. The game also includes a separate Hot Dog Mystery Bonus and a Golden Spins mechanic.

Golden Bet adds another option in the base game and, according to the game rules, doubles the frequency at which the Free Spins are triggered.

Fortune Map

The Fortune Map is a 6x5 treasure map with 30 squares and acts as a persistent feature in the base game. When 2 Bonus symbols land at the same time, one map pick is awarded.

A square can reveal a cash prize, a fixed Pot, a Sticky Wild, Free Spins or a blank. The possible cash values are 2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, 6×, 8× and 10× the base stake.

The map also contains one Free Spins prize and three Sticky Wilds. When a Sticky Wild is found, it is stored for a future Free Spins feature triggered through the Fortune Map itself.

Persistent Fortune Map progress

The state of the Fortune Map remains between consecutive picks as long as the same stake and game mode are used. Unopened squares therefore remain available for later map picks.

Previously found Sticky Wilds also stay stored. If the Free Spins prize is later uncovered on the same map, those accumulated Sticky Wilds are added at the start of the bonus.

The map resets once Free Spins are found through the Fortune Map. Free Spins triggered directly by 3 or more Bonus symbols on the reels do not reset the map.

Each stake and game mode has its own Fortune Map. When a new map is initialized, 5 blank squares are already revealed.

Free Spins

Three or more Bonus symbols trigger 10 Free Spins.

The number of Sticky Wilds awarded at the start depends on the number of Bonus symbols in the trigger. With 3 Bonus symbols, the feature starts without an additional Sticky Wild. Four symbols award 1 Sticky Wild, 5 symbols award 2 Sticky Wilds and 6 symbols award 3 Sticky Wilds.

These Sticky Wilds are placed randomly and remain in position throughout the entire Free Spins feature.

When Free Spins are found through the Fortune Map, Sticky Wilds previously collected on that same map can also be carried into the bonus.

Bonus Wheel

During Free Spins, new Bonus symbols are added to a 15-step trail. Every 3 completed steps award one spin of the Bonus Wheel.

The wheel initially contains two discs. The inner disc can award 3, 4, 5 or 6 additional Free Spins. The outer disc can award extra Sticky Wilds, a Sticky Super Wild, a Sticky Mega Wild or a fixed Pot.

If a Pot Prize is selected, a third disc appears to determine one of the four fixed Pots. A maximum of 5 Bonus Wheel retriggers can be awarded during a single Free Spins feature.

Sticky Wilds and multiplier Wilds

Regular Sticky Wilds remain in position throughout the full Free Spins feature and substitute for regular paying symbols.

The Bonus Wheel can also award a Sticky Super Wild with a 2× multiplier or a Sticky Mega Wild with a 5× multiplier. If multiple multiplier Wilds contribute to the same winning payline, their values are added together.

A 2× Sticky Super Wild and a 5× Sticky Mega Wild on the same winning line therefore create a combined 7× multiplier for that line win.

Fixed Pot prizes

Hot Diggity Dog Fortune Map includes four fixed Pot prizes. From highest to lowest, these are Mega, Major, Minor and Mini.

Mega is worth 500× the base stake, Major 100×, Minor 25× and Mini 10×.

These Pots can be awarded through the Bonus Wheel and also play a role in the Hot Dog Mystery Bonus.

Golden Bet

Golden Bet can be activated in the base game for an additional cost of 0.5× the base stake.

When Golden Bet is active, the Free Spins are triggered twice as frequently according to the game rules. The option only affects the base game and has no effect during the Free Spins.

Payouts remain based on the base stake. Golden Bet therefore does not change the paytable values, but specifically increases the frequency of the Free Spins trigger.

Hot Dog Mystery Bonus

The Hot Dog Mystery Bonus can be triggered when one or more full stacks of Hot Diggity Dog logo symbols appear on reels 1 to 5 while the Flaming Paw lands on reel 6. All qualifying logo stacks then transform into Mystery Reels.

Each Mystery Reel awards either a cash prize or one of the four fixed Pots. Possible cash values are 5×, 6×, 8×, 10×, 12× and 15× the base stake. A Mystery Reel can also award the Mega, Major, Minor or Mini Pot.

A special reel modifier can also trigger the feature by shifting stacked Hot Diggity Dog symbols into the required position.

Golden Spins

During Free Spins, Collect symbols can appear on reels 1 and 5. These Collect symbols do not remain in one fixed position. On the following spin, they move down by one position and can remain visible for up to two additional spins.

Each collected Coin increases the Golden Spins counter. Once Golden Spins become active, the collected Coin positions turn into spinning reels that guarantee a Prize Coin on each Golden Spin.

Golden Spins therefore add another progression layer to the Free Spins alongside the Sticky Wilds and Bonus Wheel.

Extra Free Spins and retriggers

During Free Spins, Bonus symbols are collected on a 15-step trail. Every 3 completed steps trigger the Bonus Wheel.

The inner wheel can award 3, 4, 5 or 6 additional Free Spins. A collected Bonus Coin can also award 3 extra spins.

A maximum of 5 Bonus Wheel retriggers can be awarded during one Free Spins feature, allowing the bonus to continue well beyond the original 10 spins.

Fortune Map and Free Spins together

The Fortune Map becomes particularly important because previously found Sticky Wilds can be carried into a future Free Spins feature triggered through the map itself.

When a Sticky Wild is revealed on the Fortune Map, it is stored. If the Free Spins prize is uncovered later on the same map, those accumulated Sticky Wilds are added at the start of the bonus.

These stored Wilds are only carried over when Free Spins are triggered through the Fortune Map. A regular trigger from 3 or more Bonus symbols does not use the stored map Wilds and also does not reset the Fortune Map.

Why Hot Diggity Dog Fortune Map stands out

Hot Diggity Dog Fortune Map stands out through its combination of persistent progress and bonus features that can continue to develop across multiple spins.

The Fortune Map remembers previous picks and can store Sticky Wilds for a future bonus. During Free Spins, progression continues through Sticky Wilds, Bonus Wheel retriggers and Golden Spins.

The Hot Dog Mystery Bonus adds a separate feature path in which full logo stacks transform into Mystery Reels with cash prizes or fixed Pots. Golden Bet adds another base-game option by increasing the frequency of the Free Spins trigger.
