Fire Tale Slot Review

When it comes to telling tales that have the viewer/listener entranced, no one can captivate an audience better than Sir David Attenborough. 👏

But here’s something you might not know about the famous narrator: he’s one of the people responsible for tennis balls being yellow. 🎾

Sir David was working at the BBC (not the acronym you might be familiar with, you dirty Americans) at the time when TV was transitioning to color. Yes, it was a long time ago. 👴🏽 They went for yellow balls because they reckoned they’d be more visible to TV viewers.

Not the most intriguing tale about Sir David, I confess, so let’s move swiftly along to a tale that could be most rewarding: Fire Tale slot from Quickspin.

Gameplay

Hey, this is pretty sweet! I thought we’d be dealing with an Asian-themed game with traditional dragons but instead we have some Manga-type stuff going on here. Me likey!

I also like how they have the Settings icon separate, so you don’t have to hunt through the hamburger menu to find it if, say, you wanna switch off the sound real quick (even though you’re asked initially if you want the sound on or off).

There are two ways to change your bet, too, so while some might say this duplicates things, I say that it gives us options in terms of how we interact with the game.

To the right of the screen is the 5x4 grid, and just to the left of it, to the top, are some Jackpots. The Mini pays 10x, the Minor pays 25x, the Major pays 150x, and the Grand Jackpot pays 5,000x.

You can win across 1,024 paylines, 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 96.18%, and the volatility rate is high. The max multiplier is 5,000x, and the max win is $250,000. Betting needs to happen with fiat money only.

Wild symbols are sticks of dynamite that can stack along the height of a reel. Wilds replace all symbols other than Bonus symbols, which are Scatters and take the form of a dragon’s head.

Fire Tale slot takes on a whole new appearance in portrait mode on a phone. You see more of the background, which shows a river flowing over stones, with the Manga dude sitting atop the grid. It’s absolutely amazing.

Landscape mode mirrors what you’ll see on a laptop; however, in both instances, the Settings button is no longer visible and nor is the easy way to increase or decrease your bets. Oh well.

Features

WILD NUDGE:

If a Wild lands partially, it can nudge to cover the whole reel. It will then transform into a fully stacked dragon and award a Fire Re-spin. The Wild is awarded a +1x multiplier per position that’s nudged. The resulting Multiplier Wild will boost any win it’s a part of by 2x, 3x, or 4x.

FIRE RE-SPINS:

A fully stacked Wild (or a nudged Wild, as I mentioned) triggers a Fire Re-spin and becomes sticky while the feature is happening. When this happens during a spin, 2 Fire Re-spins are awarded.

Any new fully stacked Wilds that hit or nudge during Fire Re-spins also become sticky, and you’ll be awarded 1 additional re-spin.

FUSION FREE SPINS:

Nailing 3, 4, or 5 Bonus Scatters anywhere on the grid during the base game triggers 10, 12, or 15 Free Spins, respectively.

Only 4 symbol types will land now: Level 1, 2, 3, and 4 (all different types of fireworks). Whenever two symbols of the same level land next to each other (and below a Level 4 symbol), they merge into the next level of symbol.

During Free Spins, whenever a symbol hits the reels, it’ll become sticky until the round ends.

Now onto the Fusion Meter, which you’ll see to the left of the screen. Basically, it’s the dude stroking a dragon firework in a worrying way. Beneath him are 4 empty receptacles. Whenever 2 symbols of the same level merge, one of these meter positions is filled.

When the Meter is full, extra Free Spins are awarded. Also, each time the Meter is filled, it’ll reset and the empty positions will be added to; up to a max of 6. So, in terms of extra spins and empty spots, it goes like this:

  • +3 spins for 4 filled positions
  • +5 spins for 5 filled positions
  • +7 spins for 6 filled positions

Fill all 6 spots and the Meter will reset. Now, all of the 6 positions can be filled again.

Once you run out of spins, each of the Level 1 and 2 symbols reveals a random multiplier value. All Level 3 and 4 ones will additionally cycle through the various Jackpots, which you can win. Payouts could be as follows:

  • Level 1: 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x
  • Level 2: 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x, 2.25x, 2.5x
  • Level 3: 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, Mini, Minor
  • Level 4: 50x, 60x, 75x, 100x, Major, Grand

ANTE BET:

Boost the cost of each bet by 50% and Wilds have an increased chance of hitting.

Performance

I tested this game on all my devices and swapped between Safari and Chrome – all with no issues.

Maximum Win

Betting ranges from $0.04 to $50. The max multiplier is 5,000x, and the max win is $250,000.

Conclusion

I have to start this conclusion off by mentioning how sophisticated and novel the Fusion Free Spins feature is. Fusion Free Spins is this game’s primary wealth-creating feature, and there are a lot of elements to it.

We can get there via the Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. or Buy Bonus options, but which one is the best? The best value comes from the 75x Buy Bonus because it has the best 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 guarantees immediate access to the game’s top feature – no brainer.

The Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. helps to target Wilds, which could help with triggering Free Spins, but that still won’t get you into Fusion Free Spins.

The Buy Bonus costs are less than you might expect. And even though you will presumably pay 75x and get only 3 Scatters / 10 Fusion Free Spins most of the time, you’re still in the right environment. Plus, you can score additional spins. I think this is supremely well priced.
