Peppermill Resort Spa Casino in Reno, Nevada, will celebrate its official debut of Light & Wonder’s newest slot game, Hot Trio Fiesta Caliente, Thursday at the resort. The launch is anticipated to bring together players, Light & Wonder executives, and game designers for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 5 p.m. PT on the casino floor.

Hot Trio Fiesta Caliente combines visuals, interactive bonus features, and gameplay designed to keep players engaged. The game introduces three feature experiences, including the Grande Reels Feature, 2x-3x Surge Feature, and Fiesta Spin Feature, delivering multiple opportunities for players to unlock jackpots, multipliers, and expanded bonus action.

The Fiesta Spin Feature builds on a traditional hold-and-spin bonus, allowing players to accumulate multipliers that carry into a secondary bonus experience. The Grande Reels Feature expands gameplay by unlocking additional reel rows during the bonus, while the 2x-3x Surge Feature offers opportunities for symbols to split and multiply, creating even more chances for big wins.

Hot Trio Fiesta Caliente debuts on Light & Wonder’s LightWave Solar cabinet, featuring a full-length bank-wide display experience with integrated LCD and Micro LED surround displays synchronized across multiple machines. The result is an immersive entertainment experience that transforms the traditional slot floor environment.

Hot Trio Fiesta Caliente showcases the depth of our content portfolio and the power of the LightWave Solar cabinet to transform the player experience,” said Light & Wonder Senior Vice President, Product Management & Commercial Strategy Ryan Scott. “We are proud to see this title live at one of Northern Nevada’s most iconic gaming destinations.”
