12 Masks of Fire Drums Slot Review

Before SlipKnot arrived on the scene, I can only think of one band that wore masks🎭. And that band is GWAR.

When I first discovered GWAR's music videos in the early days of the internet🛜, they were the most amazing thing I had ever seen. The story revolves around a group of ultra-violent aliens👽 who have come to Earth with the intention of killing all humans😱.

The group also incorporates a significant amount of humor😁.

Then SlipKnot came along and took the creepy, rage-filled theme way too seriously😐. They scared me a little. However, their music was so exceptional that it left you in awe🤩.

It turns out the guys in SlipKnot are very nice people. So looks aren’t everything. Which I’m hoping is the case for Quickfire 12 Masks of Fire Drums slot.

Gameplay

In 12 Masks of Fire Drums slot, you play on 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines in the base game, as well as 48 paylines on Free Spins.

The high-paying symbols include classic symbols, triple 7, double 7, and a 7. Any combination of these high-paying symbols on a payline counts as a smaller win.

The Wild is a diamond symbol that can substitute for any of the paying symbols, except the Epic Strike, Free Spin, Collect, and Extra Spin symbols. In the base game, players can also collect Wild symbols to potentially trigger the Extra Strike Bonus.

The Epic Strike symbol is a gold mask that appears on all the reels and can award a random cash prize or Free Spins when 3 or more land at the same time. More on this in a minute.

The Scatter symbol is a drum with the word Bonus on it. The Collect symbol is just a drum, and the Extra Spin symbol is a +1 symbol.

You can bet as low as $0.20 or as high as $80, but this is a fiat currency-only game, with the exception of the Japanese yen and Russian ruble.

The highest possible multiplier of 3,125x can lead to the game’s prize limit of $250,000. The game boasts a 96% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. and carries a high volatility rating.

Features

EPIC STRIKE

If 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 Epic Strike symbols land simultaneously, you'll receive a payout of 1x, 2x, 5x, 15x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 1,000x, or 3,000x your original bet.

Any payline wins for that spin contribute to the payout of Epic Strike prizes. If you simultaneously trigger Free Spins, you receive your prize before the feature starts.

FREE SPINS

During the base game, you can increase the Free Spins win multiplier by 1x, up to 10x, by landing Free Spin symbols on reels 2 and 3 only. All payline wins during Free Spins are subject to this multiplier.

Landing 3 Free Spins symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 will trigger 3 Free Spins. If you have 3 consecutive winning spins during this feature, an additional row is added to the reels, increasing the number of paylines and awarding another 3 Free Spins.

You can increase the reels to 8 rows high. The size of the reels also determines the Cash Prizes you receive. Extra Spin symbols only appear on reel 5, and one additional Free Spin is awarded.

Performance

I took this game through the motions on my gaming laptop and Android phone and didn’t encounter any hiccups during my playthrough.

Maximum Win

The top prize here is a respectable $250,000, but to win it, you will need to bet the maximum ($80) and hit the biggest multiplier of 3,125x. However, the betting range starts at just $0.20, with plenty of options above that.

Conclusion

This is a bit of a Frankenstein’s monster game. You get 3 Free Spins like you would in a Hold-and-Win Bonus, and you grow the height of the reels and reset the number of Free Spins if you land a win on the 3 spins.

It’s a very odd feature, to say the least. I didn’t dislike it, but I can see how the developer tried to limit the winning potential of the Free Spins rounds.

The Epic Strike feature is fairly simple, and you can land 2 to 4 Epic Strike symbols fairly easily, but I wouldn’t count on them landing often or in much higher quantities than that.

The game's style is similar to a typical Chinese-themed game, except the symbols are more Western-themed. The game functioned effectively on mobile devices, allowing for effortless one-handed gameplay.

If you’re looking for something that deviates from the standard Free Spins and awards instant cash prizes during the base game, give this one a shot.
