Hot Cross Bunnies

Spoon the flour mixture into a piping bag (or a plastic food bag with a corner snipped away) and pipe a cross on each bun. Transfer the buns to the oven and bake for 8–12 minutes, or until pale.

The hot cross bun sign refers to the MRI appearance of the pons when T2 hyperintensity forms a cross on axial images, representing selective degeneration of pontocerebellar tracts. It has been described in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases1:

  • spinocerebellar ataxia (various types) 5

Elizabeth Ito's Sophomore film at Cal Arts. A popular Easter-time treat across much of the world, the hot cross bun is traditionally a sweet, spiced bun with a cross decorating the top. Whilst there are many stories regarding the history of hot cross buns, one, in particular, seems to be generally accepted. Hot Cross Bunnies Rabbitry is devoted to raising, breeding, & showing rabbits in the Stanislaus County area. I have been on the show table since 2010, & am looking forward to many more years to come.

Gameplay

Hot Cross Bunnies slot was designed by Realistic Games, which is interesting because they were quite creative when designing this machine. Once the screen loads, you will notice that you are somewhere on the seaside with the view of the horizon in the background.

Cross

We tried this machine in 2020, and the base game is as simple as it could get. You will see 3x3 reels, and only a single payline available. You can adjust the wager value from the min bet of 0.25 to a maximum of 200. However, you shouldn’t expect any awards like free spins or look for a wild symbol that will act as a substitute.

Hot Cross Bunnies might be a simple slot, but it comes with several unique twists. These include:

  • Nudges – if you didn’t win anything from the spin, you can use one to three nudges to move the reels to qualify for a win.
  • Holds – if you had a winning spin, you could use up to nine holds to boost your profit.
  • Bunny Money feature – landing three crossed pink bunnies anywhere on the screen activates this bonus game.

The standard symbols include cherries, oranges, grapes, watermelons, and bells. However, it is the crossed pink bunny that activates the special feature. If you land three of these bunnies anywhere on the screen, the slot takes you to the bonus round. You can utilize the multiplier in this round and increase your prize significantly.

Our Opinion

We like it when the developers get creative and add a unique twist to simple slots, and that is what Realistic Games did with this machine. Although there is a clear lack of paylines, that is compensated with additional gameplay features.

Are you familiar with the value of scatters in slots? In this game, Nudge and Hold functions can bring you more profit than a scatter symbol if you use them wisely. That means the Hot Cross Bunnies slot requires a gambler to think, which is always a fresh addition to casino games. Overall, if you are looking for something different, this is a slot that you have to try.
