Fire Blaze: Fire Fighter Slot Review
There’s something a little bit naughty about Fire Blaze: Fire Fighter slot from Playtech. I can’t put my finger on it but maybe it has to do with the dude wielding a long, thick hose, or perhaps it’s coz he’s in uniform? I dunno – hopefully, the ladies can answer this one for me.
All I know is that this isn’t a theme we get to see often. So, grab your hard hat and slide down that pole (see what I did there?) – it’s time to face the heat!
Gameplay
Our 5x4-reel grid is hovering outside a fire station, which immediately gives this game a unique feel. Now I know you miss those Egyptian and leprechaun-themed ones but just for once, we’re going to explore something different.
The highest-paying major symbol is the cravat-wearing dalmatian (just my attempt at humor; I’m not a complete idiot. All the time), followed by the fire truck, the hardhat, and then the fire extinguisher.
Straight off the bat, we can see that this is a Jackpot-focused game, and it’s also got a Hold & Re-spin feature, but we’ll chat more about that under the appropriate heading below.
The 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. is 95.92% (and the trend nowadays seems to be that RTPs come in just under 96%), the volatility rating is low to medium, and bets start at just €0.10 but go all the way to €100.
Crypto players please note that this game only accepts fiat currency. I know, it sucks. And you guys will have more to cry about when you find out the max win for this game: it’s €221,400. Sorry.
Features
The WILD is our anvil-jawed firefighter, and this symbol replaces all others except the Fire Bell and Scatter symbols. Wilds will only show up on reels 2 – 5 during the base game, but they can appear anywhere during the Free Spins round.
The FIRE BELL symbol is next and if you land 8 or more of these simultaneously, you’ll trigger the Fire Blaze Hold & Re-spin feature. This is true during the Free Spins round as well.
SCATTERS take the form of crossed firefighters’ axes and 3 or more will initiate the Free Spins round.
FIRE BLAZE HOLD & RE-SPIN FEATURE:
You’ll get 3 re-spins awarded to you when this round starts. As you’d expect, the screen changes and the Fire Bell symbols become sticky. The open spots will spin, and each new Fire Bell symbol will reset the re-spins to 3.
You can even get massive 3x3-sized Fire Bell symbols, as groups of adjacent symbols will combine after each re-spin to form this big-assed one.
The bonus round continues until all your re-spins are kaput, or you fill each of the spots – in which case, you’ll have won the Grand Jackpot worth 2,000x your total bet.
It’s also possible to win lesser Jackpots of course, and I even clinched a Minor one on my first few spins of the game.
Major Jackpot = 500x your total bet
Minor Jackpot = 100x your total bet
Mini Jackpot = 20 x your total bet
FREE SPINS:
Land 3 or more Scatters and you’ll be gifted 6 Free Games. You can re-trigger 6 Free Spins by landing an additional 3 or more Scatters.
What you’ll see on each spin during this round is a flame that hovers over 1 or more positions. These flames will turn into Wilds or Fire Bell symbols before the reel stops.
Performance
PlayTech has seen to it that you should be able to play without any hiccups. I tested Fire Blaze: Fire Fighter slot on all my devices and on different browsers, and it was all peachy.
Maximum Win
Place a bet at the €100 maximum and bring in the 2,214x multiplier – that’s all you’ve gotta do to clinch a magnificent €221,400 max win. You’d need to hose me down after a win like that!
Conclusion
As it happens, this is like my third Hold & Spin-oriented game of late, which helps me compare against the other variations.
What I like about Fire Blaze: Fire Fighter slot is the different theme but also there’s the fact that PlayTech has introduced re-spins, Free Spins, oversized symbols, and that flame thing during the Free Spins round.
It all elevates this game above many of its peers in the same genre and I like it!
