Hot Hot Penny is a WMS slot machine, typically found on the company's Bluebird (BB1) cabinet, and closely related to (or rebranded in some markets as) King of Africa -- the two names appear together often enough that they should be treated as effectively the same game family, alongside a later Hot Hot Penny 2. It's built around a signature "Hot Hot Re-spin" mechanic tied to Feature Scatter symbols, and it's a confirmed, currently-circulating physical machine rather than an online-only or retired title.
Hot Hot Penny runs on WMS's Bluebird (BB1) cabinet and carries an African-savannah visual theme, which lines up with its close relationship to the King of Africa branding used in some markets, plus a later Hot Hot Penny 2 entry in the same family. Slot-community location tagging confirms real, currently-active placements, including a logged sighting at Wind Creek Casino & Hotel, with a total of ten tagged sightings recorded on one tracking site -- a modest but real footprint compared to some of WMS's more widely distributed titles.
The game's signature feature activates around its Feature Scatter symbols. Landing a smaller number of them freezes the reels holding those scatters in place and re-spins the remaining reels, giving the round a second chance to build toward the bonus trigger rather than ending the spin outright -- a common structure across several WMS titles that use similar re-spin mechanics under their own branded names.
Landing more Feature Scatter symbols instead opens a pick-and-click bonus round, presenting a grid of tiles to choose from. Revealed tiles award either extra spins or coin values that convert into additional free games, giving the bonus round some variance in how large a free-games package a player ends up with.
WMS has reused "Hot Hot" as a bonus-feature name across more than one otherwise-unrelated title -- a similarly named "Hot Hot Super Re-Spin" side bet appears on the studio's Gorilla Chief, a different game entirely. Seeing "Hot Hot" branding on a cabinet is a useful visual cue, but it's worth confirming the full title on the glass rather than assuming it's this specific game.
No confirmed release year has surfaced for Hot Hot Penny specifically, and the roughly 96% RTP figure sometimes cited for it is borrowed from the related King of Africa variant rather than independently confirmed for Hot Hot Penny itself -- worth treating as an estimate rather than a guaranteed number for any specific cabinet.
