Anvil & Ore Slot Review

My grandma worked in a coal mine as a 12- or 13-year-old child. I kid you not. I actually can’t wrap my head around that. I thought that kind of mentality went out with the Victorian era but child labor was still in vogue in certain countries until fairly recently. ⛏️

These days, kids be making millions off TikTok and YouTube and getting face tattoos at 12 years old. Which is a way better alternative than choking on coal dust and pushing carts of ore around all day. 📹

But if you must do it, at least do it virtually with Anvil & Ore slot from Quickfire. The rewards could be spectacular. 💰

Gameplay

It’s time to go deep underground where dwarves eke out a fortune. The 5x5-reel grid with 3,125 ways to win is juxtaposed on a busy background with statues, furnaces, hammers, and anvils.

Luckily, the background isn’t too offputting and that also goes for playing on a mobile device, which I’m happy to say you’ll be able to do in either orientation.

To the left of the reels are the Upsizer and the Buy Bonus, while on the right is the Echo Roll but I’ll chat about these in the features section.

Finishing off the stats are the 96.26% 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., a very high volatility rate, a 5,000x multiplier, and a top prize of €240,000.

Currency-wise, you’ll need to play with fiat but not the Japanese yen.

Anvil & Ore slot uses a thing called Rolling Reels, which is a Tumble or CascadeOtherwise known as a Tumble, Avalanche, or whatever a studio sees fit to name it. The idea is the same, though; winning symbols get removed, and new ones take their place. This action could result in additional wins, in which case the action continues. feature that every studio likes to name differently just to confuse us. Essentially, the symbols involved in a win are removed so new symbols can roll in.

And before we get to the good stuff, a quick mention of the Wild symbols; the W’s can substitute for all symbols that aren’t Scatters.

Features

ECHO ROLL:

An Echo Roll could be awarded after any win and that means a guaranteed win on top of the one you have. Winning positions will be filled with Wilds, high- or low-paying symbols.

UPSIZER:

This bad boy boosts your Free Spins win potential. Upsizer Coins will land randomly on the reels during the base game and are then collected in the meter I mentioned earlier.

The Upsizer meter comprises 9 levels that award 6 to 12 spins and multipliers ranging from 10x to 50x. From Level 5 to 8, you’ll also get a guaranteed Echo Roll, whereas you’ll get 2 guaranteed Echo Rolls on Level 9.

Landing 3 or more Upsizer Coins in the base game gets you 1 Upsizer Max Coin. Collect 5 of these to trigger the Free Spins round at the maximum Upsizer level.

FREE SPINS:

You need Scatters to initiate the Free Spins round – 3 Scatters trigger 6 to 12 spins, based on the Upsizer Level. If you have extra Scatters on the reels when the triggering happens, each extra Scatter awards 50 Upsizer Coins plus an additional spin.

Before the Free Spins round starts though, you can buy higher Upsizer modifiers and after the round has ended, you can spin a free Upsizer Wheel that could clinch you up to 150 Upsizer Coins.

Rolling Reels will now increase the win multiplier by 1x and unlike in the base game, the multiplier won’t reset until the feature is done.

BUY BONUS:

• The Buy Bonus comes with 2 options. The first allows you to choose an Upsizer equal to or greater than your current level (which will be awarded randomly) and costs 100x. - The second option allows you to activate the Upsizer Max for a fee of just over 200x your bet.

Performance

I played Anvil & Ore slot on 3 devices (my phone, desktop, and tablet), used two browsers (Safari and Chrome), and had no issues whatsoever.

Maximum Win

The top prize you can walk away with is €240,000 – to get there, you need to combine the highest bet (€48) with the 5,000x max multiplier. Otherwise you can bet from as little as €0.30.

Conclusion

To be honest, the base game play gets rather tedious. It’s the same thing; you try to collect Upsizer Coins and occasionally the Echo Roll gets triggered.

The Free Spins round is where you wanna be but triggering it organically seems to take a lot of effort. So invariably, I used the Buy Bonus and that’s where things can get funky.

You have a heady cocktail of spins and multipliers, and Echo Rolls being triggered that in turn trigger Rolling Reels; it’s a blast. Then at the end, you get to spin the Wheel for Upsizer Coins.

As far as mining-themed games go, this is a fairly entertaining one and the Upsizer meter brings a level of excitement as you work towards climbing up the levels.

The Echo Roll also adds a bit of drama as you never know when it will erupt. And as you probably know by now, I do like me a bit of an eruption occasionally. Or an erec… Oops. I almost fell in the gutter there. Either which way, I’ll take it.
