Fire Pearl Slot
If you have visited a land casino in the last year or so there is a pretty solid chance that you have seen International Game Technology’s Fire Pearl slot machine sitting on the casino floor.
The game is one that may not carry the big name branding of the company’s other slots, but it has proven to be extremely successful in its short time on the market, establishing a fan base that have gone online to rave about the title and post videos to YouTube of them netting some huge wins.
Asian culture seems to be getting a more prominent role in casino games compared to years past, with more and more video slots adopting themes that carry Japanese or Chinese themes.
These can be something as simple as a Zen garden or a game that includes fireworks, sushi, or some other facet of Asian culture. The reason for this is almost certainly because of the number of Asian gamblers who frequent Las Vegas, Macau and other popular gambling hotspots.
For those of you unaware, Fire Pearl is a 5 reel video slot that features an Asian theme. The game is unique in that it allows punters the chance to select their volatility, and the game can be set to run up to 100 paylines. The game’s symbols include a variety of Asian symbols (sorry, I can’t tell if they Chinese or Japanese), boats, temples, walls, bridges, and a crazy swirling ball. Additional symbols are the Fire Pearl Symbol that serves as the game’s Wild.
Feature wise the game includes the above mentioned Wild Symbols as well as Free Spins, and Roaming Win Multipliers. These are set off when enough of the Fire Pearl symbols are on the screen. Players are then given the choice of selecting five different bonuses, each that includes free spins with win multiplying Wilds.
The Fire Pearl slot cabinet is one of IGT’s newer cabinets, with the game featuring a high definition screen, vibrant artwork placement, as well as a touch screen that is used to set off some of the game’s bonuses and other features. Like most slot machines nowadays, IGT’s Fire Pearl slot takes in cash via a bill acceptor and pays out any winnings via a ticket printing system that you then would then take to the cashier in order to receive your winnings.
The game is also compatible with casino comp systems, allowing players the chance to earn points toward food, rooms, and other prizes in the casino property in which you play.
As part of IGT’s new cutting edge style of slots, Fire Pearl is a game that should definitely draw you in. The bright and vibrant graphics, combined with the fun Asian theme and features that can be set off via the touch screen are a lot of fun, and you should definitely give this game a spin (or several spins) when you see it on the floors of your local land casino.
