Pragmatic Play Casts Off with Hot Tuna, Launching 12 January 2026
Leading iGaming content provider Pragmatic Play is set to reel in players with the launch of its brand-new slot title, Hot Tuna, arriving on 12 January 2026.
Set against a vibrant deep-sea fishing theme, Hot Tuna combines classic slot mechanics with an engaging free-spins feature designed to deliver exciting win potential and escalating rewards. In the base game, players can match a minimum of three symbols to win up to 200x, while the real action begins when 3–5 scatter symbols land to trigger the bonus game, awarding 10 to 20 free spins.
A Feature Packed Bonus Game
The free spins feature introduces a dynamic collection mechanic that builds momentum with every spin:
- Fisherman wilds collect the values of any money symbols that land during the same spin, while also awarding one additional free spin.
- Money symbols that land without a fisherman wild are not wasted — instead, their values are stored in a collection meter.
- Once the meter is completed, players are rewarded with an extra 10 free spins, now enhanced by special Hot Tuna symbols.
During these enhanced spins, Hot Tuna symbols significantly raise the stakes. When a Hot Tuna symbol lands alongside a fisherman wild, the fisherman first gathers all collected fish values before the total win is awarded with a powerful 10x multiplier, creating the potential for explosive payouts.
What Players Can Expect
- 3–5 scatter symbols trigger the bonus game with up to 20 free spins
- Fisherman wilds collect money symbol values and grant extra spins
- A collection meter stores uncollected money symbols
- Completing the meter unlocks 10 additional free spins
- Hot Tuna symbols apply a 10x multiplier to collected values when paired with a fisherman wild
With its immersive theme, layered mechanics, and rewarding bonus structure, Hot Tuna showcases Pragmatic Play’s ongoing commitment to delivering innovative and entertaining slot experiences for players worldwide.
Hot Tuna will be available across all major platforms from 12 January 2026, continuing Pragmatic Play’s strong pipeline of high-quality content for its global operator partners.
