Hot Slot(s) is the product of Hacker International and happens to be one of the first "mainstream" pornographic titles for the NES. Released and published by Panesian LTD. in 1991, Hot Slots pushed the unlicensed field's limit by supplying copious amounts of 8-bit skin. The premise of the game is simple: play a slot machine, win, and see 1 of 3 screens of a woman undressing.

This adult game is often looked at as the "lesser" of the stripper trio among collectors. (Peek-A-Boo Poker required skill to win and Bubble Bath Babes was a fun Tetris puzzle clone.) Not to me, though, as I see Hot Slots as the premiere title from Panesian LTD., and thus probably the most sought after.

Today thanks to the wildfire of various video game site coverage that started literally overnight, a small company like Panesian has become a very familiar name to most NES hobbyists. All 3 porno games are among the holy grails of NES finds, and when on eBay, easily hit $230-300 depending on condition for cart-only or $400-500 in its rare, complete form.

Just recently did I receive my copy. I traded my complete Aladdin Deck Enhancer (spare), a handful of NES games, and some spare cash to complete my collecting dream of owning a nudie Nintendo game!

BACK SIDE

The cart's label, Hot Slots, is actually different than the game's real name: Hot Slot (perhaps a play-on-words for 'Hot Slut').

GAME PLAY

The title screen hints at what you've already come to expect. Naked ladies!

Pressing 'Start' will bring you to the slot machine selection screen. 'Select' will allow you to choose and 'Start' to confirm. (My personal favorite is Las Vegas.)


.

You begin with a total budget of $400. You have to exchange this money in $50 amounts for medallions to use in the slot machine. I suggest only getting $50 medallions once you know what you're doing.

Now for the fun, grueling part...

Playing the slots!

Keep your pants on, big guy, you'll have to work awfully hard for the women. The money rolls in by getting 777, three BARS, or color-coded JACS. Roughly $15 from each.

However, the real ching-chang is made when you get "hot" and the screen jumps to the top portion of the slot machine and flashes JACKPOT. The music will shift to a more uppity beat (listen to a .wma sample) and Jackpot Round will begin. During this round, JACS are MUCH easier to come by (almost a 90% chance)! You should be able to get well over $100 after one of these rounds.

STRATEGY HINT

When you're feeling lonely, depressed, or just fed up with the little money you're making.. in the game.. try this homemade strategy:

Put in 2 medallions, and when the slots begin spinning take a second and then swirl your thumb around the D pad on your controller (Left stopping the first slot, Up the second, and Right the third). Honest to God, this has worked for me and gotten me "on fire" a few times. I mean, it's just so crazy it's gotta work!

THE NUDIES

ZOOM IN ON THE SOFTCORE PORN!

Now to the best part of the game! 8-bit luciously-seducative girls (I do realize how pathetic I sound right now thank you very much)!! Here's how much you need to reach each scene:

1st Skin: have won $210
2nd Skin: have won $300+
3rd Skin: have won $450

WARNING: MAY BE TOO HOT FOR YOU!!
