Hot Rocket 5x 3x 2x Slot Review

The base game uses 3 reels, 3 rows and 9 fixed paylines, so wins are read in the old line-slot way rather than through clusters, expanding reels or ways-to-win math. Wilds can appear on all reels and substitute for regular symbols. Rocket symbols can also appear on all reels as overlays, which is important because the symbol underneath stays active instead of being replaced. The public page does not show a full symbol paytable, so the safest read is structural: this is a compact stepper built around modifiers, not large natural line hits. The 2x, 3x and 5x multipliers are the main reason to care about base-game spins.

Rocket Symbols are overlays. They can land on any reel, sit over an existing symbol and then get collected while the underlying symbol still counts toward line wins. That is the best part of the design, because a rocket landing is not automatically a dead symbol on a tiny 3x3 board. Collected rockets may trigger Jackpot Spins, although the public rules do not publish a fixed trigger rate. That missing frequency is a real caveat. A feature can sound busy when described in parts, but if rocket collection rarely turns into the jackpot screen, the base game becomes a short-loop wait for a random event rather than a rewarding classic slot.

There is no conventional free spins round advertised. The closest substitute is Jackpot Spins, which starts from collected rockets rather than scatter symbols. Once that round is active, the target is specific: a Collector has to land on reel 2 while two matching Jackpot symbols land on reels 1 and 3. If that alignment hits, the corresponding jackpot is awarded. If it does not, reels 1 and 3 respin and the process repeats. That gives the feature a simple visual goal, but it also means players who like accumulating multipliers, retriggers or long bonus rounds will not find that structure here.

The five fixed jackpots are Mini 25x, Minor 50x, Major 100x, Mega 200x and Max 1,000x. They are fixed stake multipliers, not pooled progressive prizes. The jackpot condition is tied to Jackpot Spins: a Collector on the centre reel needs two matching jackpot symbols on the outside reels. The ladder is easy to understand, and the 1,000x top jackpot gives the small grid a clear target. The downside is just as clear. Five labelled tiers on three reels can feel binary: either the matching symbols arrive, or the spin sequence becomes another near-miss animation.

BGaming’s public pre-release page did not publish a complete CAD bet range. It does list a fixed money cap that converts to roughly CA$400,000 at mid-May 2026 rates, but the multiplier ceiling is inconsistent: the details panel lists 2,500x while the FAQ says 5,000x. Check the in-game info screen before playing for real money. No Ante Bet or Bonus Buy is advertised. Ontario players should verify availability inside an AGCO/iGaming Ontario licensed casino rather than assuming access, and the same caution applies as Alberta’s regulated market opens in 2026.
