Hot Slots, or AV Pachisuro (AVパチスロ), is a slot machine simulation video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System developed by Idea-Tek, and published by Hacker International/Panesian in 1991.
AV Pachisuro is the title of the Japanese release for the Family Computer (or Famicom); Hot Slots (titled Hot Slot in-game) is the English-language version of the game published for the NES. The title AV Pachisuro combines the Japanese-coined English initialism AV (adult video) with the Japanese contracted word pachisuro (a portmanteau of pachinko and slot).
Gameplay
[edit]To begin a game, the player chooses one of three slot machines: Cutie Bunny, Juicy Fruits, or Las Vegas. Each machine has a distinct visual design and musical score. After purchasing "medallions" (token coins), the player may play up to five medallions in a machine for each pull. The player stops each reel by pressing a direction on the D-pad. Between spins, the player can optionally switch to another machine.
Hot Slots is an eroge, a video game that rewards game progress, persistence, or performance with images that are sexually explicit or suggestive. Each slot machine is accompanied by a scantily-clad hostess, who appears at intervals when the player's winnings surpass a certain threshold. When the player nets a profit of $210, the game displays a full-screen cartoon image of the partially clothed hostess with a caption or speech balloon. At a net profit of $300, she loses more of her clothing; at $450, she appears nude.
Reception
[edit]Allgame gave the game a rating of 1 star out of a possible 5.[2]
The game later became a rare collectible item in North America due to its limited release, with complete copies selling for thousands of dollars. [3]
Games journalist Jeff Gerstmann ranks Hot Slots as the worst NES game released in North America.[4]
