No matter how many bullets you got, or picks made correctly, you would only win what the machine pre-selected. They had a predetermined progressive 'pick' bonus, that did show what was left on the board, even though you had no chance of winning those with the RNG selected outcome. I vaguely recall Aristocrat having to rework their 'Mummy' slot machine back in 2012 or 2013 for certain markets.
Language warning for those that don't know SD! You might have to skip ahead to 13:15 to see the bonus I'm talking about.
I will say though it's a fun game and is pretty active. It has to be rigged somehow I would think. It's really, really hard to believe that you can get the bonus this often, and always have a shot at actually picking the top prize. Hot Stuff seems to fly in the face of that wisdom. If like Dancing Drums, they don't show you anything under the unpicked symbols after the bonus is done, then it is pre-determined and your picks don't matter. The going theory on slots is if the picking bonus shows you at the end of the bonus what is 'under' all of the ones that you didn't pick, then it was on the up and up and your picks actually matter. I've played a few times and it seems to be pretty easy to get to and wondered the same, I've never had a session where I didn't get a progressive picks bonus. Discussion on one of SD's latest videos about the progressive picks bonus for Hot Stuff.
