Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hot Hot Fruit demo really free?
Yes. It loads with virtual credits, needs no account and no deposit, and nothing you win or lose in it is real money.
Does the demo use the same RTP as the real game?
Not necessarily. Habanero offers this slot in several RTP builds, roughly 86% through 98%, and the demo runs whichever build the demo host loaded. Treat the demo as a way to learn the features, not as a measurement of what a specific casino will pay you.
Can I play the Hot Hot Fruit demo in rands?
The demo balance is virtual credits, so there is no real currency involved. Rand only comes into it once you play for real money at a casino that accepts South African players.
Does the demo work on a phone?
Yes. Habanero builds these games to run on desktop, tablet and mobile, in portrait or landscape, without a separate app.
