Evoplay Launches Hot Rio Samba Slot Sequel

Evoplay has expanded its Hot Rio franchise with the launch of Hot Rio Samba, a new slot inspired by the energy and colour of Rio’s Carnival, where music, movement and celebration shape the gameplay experience.

Set against Rio de Janeiro’s night skyline, the game adopts a classic land-based slot cabinet design with three reels, delivering a traditional casino feel. Each spin drops five symbols across the reels, leaving some spaces blank, with players aiming to land three matching symbols to secure wins. A vibrant Wild symbol substitutes for all standard icons to help complete combinations.

The game also features Enhanced Symbols, which upgrade standard symbols within winning lines, automatically increasing payouts when they appear.

Hot Rio Samba includes a Free Spins feature with 10 bonus rounds, where all wins are tripled. Activating the bonus additionally awards a payout worth seven times the triggering bet.

Following the success of Hot Rio Nights, released in 2023, the new title further strengthens Evoplay’s growing portfolio of slots, instant games and table titles, while also being available in a Bonus Buy format.

Commenting on the release, Evoplay CEO Ivan Kravchuk said the game blends carnival-style visuals with a traditional slot setup, combining lively features and rewarding mechanics to create an engaging experience driven by the rhythm and spirit of Rio.
