Green Wizard Fire Blaze Slot Review
You young ‘uns may not know who Dr. Seuss is (his real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel) but this fine fellow was an author and illustrator who sold around 600 million books back in the day.
One of the most famous of these was entitled Green Eggs and Ham which came out in the Sixties. Legend tells us that Bennett Cerf, the co-founder of Random House, bet Dr. Seuss $50 that he couldn’t write a book with 50 or fewer words.
The indomitable author delivered his side of the bargain and in the process, created one of the strangest, and most popular books of the era.
So, why did I bring this up? For three reasons. One is the whole betting thing (because that’s how we roll), and the second is that the color of the eggs matches the color in the title of our next game. And the third reason was that I was struggling to come up with an intro!
This is Green Wizard Fire Blaze slot from Playtech.
Gameplay
There’s magic in the air with Green Wizard Fire Blaze slot. The scene is set in some mysterious forest, and the symbols on the 5x3-reel grid include black cats, magic potion bottles, ‘shrooms (not the fun kind if those polka dots are anything to go by), and lanterns.
The soundtrack is all airy faerie, as we’d expect. From the outset, you can see that there are Jackpots on offer here but we’ll get to that a little later.
A quick glimpse at the stats reveals the following: a 95.90% 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. (that’s just a smidge under the industry standard), 243 ways to win, and a medium to high volatility rate (my absolute fav). The max win is in keeping with the latter, and it’s €132,350.
You’ll only be able to play the game with fiat currency, so crypto players will have to go elsewhere. Sorry.
Features
Starting us off is the Wild symbol, which is our wizard. Wilds replace all symbols other than the Scatter, Magic Ball, or Golden Egg ones. The Scatter looks like a house (or is it 3 houses?) with a whirlpool thing in the center, and these can pay 1x, 10x, or 50x your total bet.
FREE SPINS:
You’ll need 3 or more Scatters to initiate this feature, and you’ll get 6 spins in return for your efforts. Wilds that land on reels 2 to 4 can appear with a 2x multiplier value.
Your objective during Free Spins is to land a Wild behind a magical golden frame – that will add a 2x multiplier to the symbol. Additionally, any ways wins that include a 2x Wild will be multiplied by 2.
Magic Ball symbols that land within the golden frame will now have a higher value than those that don’t. Lastly, Free Spins can be re-triggered by an additional 3 Scatters, which means 6 more spins for you.
FIRE BLAZE HOLD & RE-SPIN:
You’ll initiate this feature (and get 3 re-spins) when you land 6 to 15 Magic Ball symbols on the reels. The triggering symbols will lock at the start of the round and carry either a cash value or a star symbol.
When new Magic Balls drop (that happens when you start your teenage years, ain’t it?), they become sticky (damn, this is getting dirtier every second) and reset the re-spins counter.
Magic Balls can randomly transform into Golden Eggs and the latter – which only appears during Fire Blaze Hold & Re-spin feature – can collect up to 3 visible prizes.
Magic Balls also award whichever prize they’re showing, and can award 1x to 5x, 10x, 15x, or 50x your total bet. They can also carry star symbols.
If you see any Magic Balls with star symbols, these can randomly award a jackpot prize. Jackpots can be Mini (20x your bet), Minor (100x), and Major (500x). Filling all 16 slots on the grid awards the Grand Jackpot at 2,647x your bet.
Performance
Playtech builds its games on HTML5, meaning you can play on any device or browser. I tested Green Wizard Fire Blaze Classic slot across hundreds of spins and found this was the case.
Maximum Win
A shot at the €132,350 max win means you’ll need to bet €50 per spin and land the 2,647x multiplier. Alternatively, you can bet from as little as €0.10.
Conclusion
Green Wizard Fire Blaze slot is a decent offering from Playtech. I found it very difficult to trigger the Fire Blaze Hold & Re-spin feature, so most of my time was spent in the base game, which is not particularly exciting.
I would’ve liked to have seen more spins being offered than just 6, especially as the trend these days is to offer players the chance to gamble for more.
So, in summary, this isn’t a game that I’d be gagging to play again but it’s not one that I’d suggest you avoid. You’ll just need to be willing to put some time and effort into it.
