Upon loading Castle of Fire, we were soon reaching for the superlatives to describe the look and feel of this scorching creation. From an audio/visual perspective, Castle of Fire comes close to scoring top marks, but does the gameplay deliver? Not quite. For us, there wasn’t enough going on in the base game to hold the attention. During an extensive playthrough, the Mystery Symbols were all too infrequent visitors to the grid and often flattered to deceive. On the other hand, that limitation is absent in the Free Spins Round, which is well worth the wait as the Mystery Symbols finally come into their own. Overall, this Castle of Fire raises the temperature of the excitement scale - without climbing to scorching hot levels.

Castle of Fire Slot Bonus Features

Free Spins Bonus

The impressive Castle acts as the Scatter of the game. Land 3, 4, 5, or 6 on a single spin, and you will be handed an instant win of 2x, 15x, 100x, or 500x, in addition to 12 free spins to take into the bonus round.

Free spins take place on the same 6x3 layout as the base game but come with a Mystery Symbols-based boost. Whenever a Mystery Symbol lands during free spins, it becomes sticky and will remain in place for the duration of the round – with all Mystery Symbols opening to reveal a new randomly selected symbol on each spin.

Bonus Buy

Players in eligible jurisdictions (not available to UK Players) can move into the Free Spins Round via Bonus Buy. This option costs 100x the total bet and will trigger a three to six Scatter bonus game.

Our Verdict The Mystery Symbols tend to promise more than they deliver in the base game, but are given their chance to shine during the feature. Not only do they appear with greater regularity during free spins, but their added Sticky Power creates progressively escalating excitement.

Castle of Fire Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.01%	Yes	High

The top-end 96.01% Return to Player (RTP) percentage is the merest flicker above the industry average RTP of 96%.

A title like Castle of Fire doesn’t suggest a gentle stroll in the park, and this release duly falls into the high volatility category. Games of this rating provide a rollercoaster reel experience but grant a better chance of hitting a big win in a short session than low-medium volatility releases.

Our Verdict An RTP of 96.01% measures up with the industry average and can’t be faulted. However, you should be aware that this is a variable RTP release, with alternative, lower settings of 95.03% and 93.99% available. Neither is terrible, but it is still worth consulting the information section of the game to discover the setting in use at your online casino of choice. The land is on fire, and distinctly unfriendly-looking Wolves and Panthers prowl the reels. That smells like a highly volatile environment to us - making the setting a good fit for both the theme and the gameplay.

Castle of Fire Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

Pragmatic Play rarely cuts any corners with the quality of its visuals and has delivered a stunner. The orange and red hues of the landscape and distant castle add real depth and atmosphere to the backdrop, whilst the realistically flickering flames provide a welcome dose of dynamism. The choice of Stone Slabs and Runes for the card values sucks them into the theme, but the stars of the show are the wonderfully illustrated and animated Panther, Wolf and Princess Symbols.

Audio

Otherworldly and ever so slightly creepy is the order of the day with the soundtrack. Twinkling pianos and glockenspiel plod sedately, backed by mournful strings and a sorrowfully wailing siren. When taken together, it all creates an unsettling music box vibe. The reels clickety-clack with a slight metallic tone, wins electronically whizz by, whilst the Mystery Symbols open with a dungeon-like crash.

Our Verdict Whether you are a fantasy geek or otherwise, it’s hard not to be impressed by the top-notch production values on show, with the wonderful graphics and soundtrack combining to mesmerising effect.

Castle of Fire Slot on Mobile

Pragmatic Play has ensured that desktop players and mobile slot fans can gain access to this fantasy realm. Castle of Fire is fully optimised for the small screen, meaning Android, iOS, and Windows users will find all the gameplay and features intact.
