Burning Reels Slots

How many kids get a toy fire engine to play with and dream of being a firefighting hero one day? If that was you, dream no more as software by Wazdan brings a burning barricade of flaming entertainment in the spectacular new fire themed slot called Burning Reels. Join a team of firefighting experts and become a hero in total safety without getting your fingers burned. This slot is so hot players feel the heat as they spin the 5 reels in a race against time to fight back the advancing forest wildfire.

With true grit and determination, gamblers can hope to win combinations of firefighting equipment with the help of the special features. The male firefighter who is the wild symbol works tirelessly to lead the way by filling in where he can as substitute to get the job done. The female firefighter is the scatter symbol to help stop the fire by rewarding free spins. As the fire burns out of control, the heat is well and truly on and the flames climb higher. The prizes can climb too when the fire alarm sounds as a multiplier symbol.

Thrilling Drama

Players seem to love slots that go that extra mile to bring a great aesthetic to the game area. Wazdan have excelled in doing just that. The 3D graphics are some of the best we have seen for a while and these display great on a mobile screen and a computer monitor. When appearance is such an important part of first impressions, this one is hard to forget for the ‘smack in the face’ wow factor which makes; it is so memorable in a good way.

The choice of music fits perfectly too, as it's got rock sounding undertones but remains faithful to the drama with dramatic use of an orchestra to give it film score feel. Nice animations keep the scene real which does look a bit like watching a thrilling disaster film! As wins are made, there is a dramatic explosion of flames around and on the reels.

To highlight which of the 10 winning lines it is making a payout, fire streaks across the reels leaving a trail of flames with the amount won as it goes before finally igniting the tiles. Stakes can be made between 100 for the max bet right down to 0.10 for the low, so the potential is there for some very nice amounts streaking across the paylines.

Equipment Check

The symbols for this game are all items needed for firefighting. The big appliances are the front line essentials needed for any situation. The fire engine is the ground defence but as Burning Reels is a forest fire, a helicopter is also on hand for a strategic attack from the air with water buckets. A hand held extinguisher and fire hose are used by the ground force team which also relies on axes and fire hydrants for sources of water. The hard hat is an integral part of any firefighting equipment and the firefighters badge is only awarded after long and hard training for the job is completed.

Both the scatter and wilds have value payouts but the scatters can award up to 10 free spins and if the fire alarm sounds on the centre reel, it will double up rewards. When any win is made, there is a gamble feature to try and double up that has a bit more concentrated firefighting action. Two bushes are on fire as the player chooses which one to put out first. It's a game of 50/50 chance. Avoid picking the bush that can’t be put out or your prize will go up in flames along with the bush.

Lighten the Load with Retro Style

With all this drama filled action, it's a good time to take a break and a look at another slot that uses fire as a theme. For those that can remember the early video consoles of the late 80s and 90s, games like Alex Kidd and Super Mario ruled supreme and arcade games everywhere rang with the electronic beeps and tunes of Casiotone sounds for many similar arcade games. Roasty McFry and the Flame Busters by Thunderkick is like stepping into retro arcade gaming heaven.

It has 5 reels and 243 ways to win with bets between 0.10 and 100. The object is to save the cast of random characters, which include a wizard, dragon, pirate and robot from the burning building and enjoy great bonus action turning coins to flame whilst adding values to the balance. Thunderkick are a developer with a sense of humour and with a slot name like Roasty McFry it shows. Their slots are worth the trouble of hunting down for a spin or two.

We Can Be Heroes

David Bowie sang, ‘we can be heroes, just for one day’ and punters can be too when playing Burning Reels, but it doesn’t have to be just for the one day. They can be heroes as many times as they like! All that’s needed is a payroll, free time and visit to their favourite mobile or online casino.  It has a medium to high variance so can make big cash outs possible for gamblers willing to high roll a while.  All the same, with the 50/50 gamble feature this fire is one that should only really be tackled by those who are prepared to lose a bit a money, and wise enough to know when the big wins come, to take them and then perhaps call time to the play session for a while. Burning Reels has a fire that never goes out so it will be forever burning whenever players return.
