40 Boost Hot Reload

Fruit. A lot of fruit. Grapes, cherries, lemons, oranges, plums and watermelon. Not a cocktail and not a fruit salad, just 40 paylines packed with enough produce to make one omission rather suspicious.

Who forgot the bananas? Felix Gaming clearly remembered everything else. 40 Boost Hot Reload brings its familiar 40-line game back with a brighter look and a flexible Boost system that lets players pick a plan, try it and change it later.

That flexibility hides underneath a very familiar-looking slot. Released on August 21, 2026, this remastered return spreads bright grapes, cherries, lemons, oranges, plums and watermelon across 5 reels and 4 rows. There are 40 fixed paylines, proving there was apparently still room for something besides fruit.

The numbers are equally easy to unpack. Bets run from €0.40 to €100, while volatility is rated 2 out of 5- low volatility.
RTP comes in three versions, set at 96.62%, 94.50% or 92.37% depending on the game configuration. Therefore check the game info before you start playing. (discover more about RTP HERE)

The maximum win reaches 1,800x the bet.

Theme and Symbols

Grapes arrive in bunches, watermelons come pre-sliced, cherries travel in pairs and lemons, oranges and plums fill whatever space remains. The symbols are radiant and clear against a fiery pink-and-purple backdrop, giving the familiar fruit-machine look considerably more glow.

A red 7 joins the selection, along with two varieties of Wild. The standard Wild can appear across all five reels and replaces every symbol except the Scatter. Its more ambitious relative, the 3x Wild, appears exclusively on reel three and brings a 3x multiplier when it contributes to a win.

Scatters pay wherever they land. Meanwhile, Minor, Major, Mega and Grand progressive jackpots keep four changing prize values above the reels, just in case forty paylines weren't already giving your eyes enough work. ( find out more about Progressive Jackpots HERE)

Betting Options and Special Features

The Boost Menu is where Hot Reload earns more than its bright background. Players can choose a line and/or symbol, then apply a 2x, 3x or 5x Boost. Those multipliers carry additional costs: 1/40 of the bet for 2x, 2/40 for 3x and 4/40 for 5x on the selected choice.

There is no entrance exam.

A newcomer can pick something and experiment. A player who knows the forty-line setup can be more selective. Neither has signed a contract. Open the menu again, clear the choice and make another one whenever the current plan has outlived its welcome.

Chance is still a factor. You don’t have to stick to the same plan.

There is also a Free Spins Bonus, with spins awarded by the operator rather than triggered by the Scatter. The bet and number of active lines remain unchanged during those spins. ( get more details about Free Spins HERE) 

You can set Auto Play for multiple rounds at a time, while Turbo Spins skips animations when forty lines of fruit aren't moving quite fast enough.

Conclusion

There is something rather sensible underneath all the heat. This online slot doesn't ask players to abandon a straightforward fruit slot in order to gain more choice. It simply puts that choice somewhere useful.

Want to pick a Boost almost at random? Go ahead. Know exactly which line or symbol you want to favour? The menu is waiting. Decide five minutes later that your brilliant plan was perhaps not quite so brilliant?

Felix Gaming wanted its old 40-line game back, and here it is: brighter, flexible and still proudly carrying enough fruit to stock a respectable supermarket.

You can try other releases from Felix Gaming; they are fun to play and do not overwhelm you with complicated mechanics.

Reload it. Just don't ask where the bananas are.
