Riot 2: Burn and Blow Slot Review

Ingredients:

1 bottle of Jack Daniel’s
2 gal of Everclear alcohol
1 qt chocolate milk
5 cans of whipped cream

Pour all of the ingredients into a large punchbowl. Unload all of the whipped cream on top, set fire to the mix, and let it burn down. Once approachable, serve the hellish concoction in mason jars.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make a Flaming Blowjob.

Just don’t blame me if it all goes tits up – I got the recipe off the ‘web so I take no responsibility. Maybe I should rather stick to slot reviews instead of dispensing cocktail recipes.

This is Riot 2: Burn and Blow slot from Mascot.

Gameplay

Welcome to the gritty, dark, and violent world of Riot 2: Burn and Blow slot. Even the soundtrack will put you on edge – I could only stand a few minutes of it before my anxiety ran amok and I had to reach for a Xanax.

In the depressingly dark urban background, you’ll see cars peppered with bullet rash, while rough-looking dudes and crazy masks are on the reels.

Interestingly, things don’t look too bad on a phone. The symbols and controls are all easily distinguishable, which I wasn’t expecting from a game that looks kinda busy.

Getting down to the stats, we find a so-so RTP of 95.38% coupled with my favorite volatility rate of medium/high. The hit rate is 43.1% which is pretty high, actually.

The action plays out across 25 fixed paylines, and the max win available here is €75,000. Yeah, I’m also disappointed.

Features

This sequel to the original Riot slot has a whole whack of features. But let’s start off with the symbols, shall we?

WILD:

Two characters make up the Wilds on this game: Bomberman and Firestarter. Wilds replace all symbols other than Scatters.

SCATTERS:

Likewise, there are 2 Scatter symbols: one is a bundle of Dynamite, the other is a red Barrel of crude oil.

Land 4 or more Dynamite bundles and they’ll magically transform into Bomberman. If you land 4 Barrels instead, they turn into the Firestarter.

You’ll actually see a tug-of-war thing happening below the grid as the different types of Scatters come in. As one meter fills up, the other gets depleted. And the upshot is that this accumulation level is linked to a bet level. So, the more you grab, the bigger the bucks.

BLOW! FREE SPINS & FEATURE:

You’ll need to fill the Blow! Free Spins meter with 12 Dynamite symbols and in return, you’ll be gifted 15 Free Spins. Every landed Dynamite symbol will now become sticky.

The Blow! feature is activated when you land 4 or more Dynamite symbols and then the symbols transform into Bomberman Wilds.

BURN! FREE SPINS & FEATURE:

Collect 16 Barrels on the meter and you’ll get 25 Free Spins. Landed Barrels now also become sticky. Fill an entire reel (or more if you can) with Barrel symbols and you’ll kick off the Burn! feature – this transforms all Barrels into Firestarter Wilds.

RISK ‘N’ BUY FEATURE:

This will be offered after each spin, irrespective of whether you landed a win or not. You’ll be able to gamble your current bet, or win, at which point you’ll go straight to one of the two Free Spins options. Alternatively, you could buy your way in.

ROCKFALL FEATURE:

Otherwise known as a Cascade feature, it means that whenever you score a win, the symbols that were involved get removed so others can take their place (which might mean even more wins).

Performance

Despite looking all hardcore and gritty, Riot 2: Burn and Blow slot ran like a well-oiled machine. Feel free to rock it on any device and browser – I did, and you shouldn’t have any problems either.

Maximum Win

Sadly, the most you can hope to clinch in this game is €75,000. Look, it ain’t nothing so I’ll take that all day if it’s being offered.

Start your betting at €0.25 or cap it at €50 if you’re a wild man, and let’s hope that 1,500x multiplier comes your way.

Conclusion

The original version of this game debuted some 2 years ago, but the idea of having 2 types of Free Spins has remained the same.

I scored a bunch of Free Spins of either variety, but I struggled to turn those opportunities into cold, hard cash. Even with the Firestarter Wild in play.

Still, it’s a solid offering from Mascot, even though the max win and RTP numbers are on the lower side. It’s a decent game to play on the go, so this might be an option for you mobile freaks out there.
