Phoenix Forge

Phoenix Forge Overview

Phoenix Forge is the latest release from Pragmatic Play. It takes players to the hidden depths of some mystical forge full of treasure. The main character for this game is the detailed yet intimidating golden phoenix. Like this mystical bird, will you rise from the ashes to reclaim your tremendous wealth? As we mentioned, this game, designed by Pragmatic Play, is played on a five-reel, 3-row playing window with 20 available pay lines. To win combos, players must match a minimum of 3 gems or special symbols in matching formations across the board from left to right. Bonus features for Phoenix Forge include a cascade feature, where new symbols replace winning symbols for more wins. Also active in this game is a Hot Spin Multiplier feature, which applies progressive multipliers to wins. And finally, the game has a free spins round.  Bets for Phoenix Forge range from 20p to £100 per spin. The maximum win that a player can win on a single spin is 5,000x their stake. Phoenix Forge is a high volatility online slot game forged in the white-hot heat of fires of the phoenix, with a return to player percentage of 96.51%.

Graphics and Theme

Pragmatic Play, as is expected, has done an excellent job with the design of this slot, from the detail included in the symbols to the slick gaming animations. The background for this slot game looks to be an underground mine or, more likely, a forge. To the left and right of the playing window, there are piles of treasure strewn around. This mostly consists of chest bursting with gold. The board, like its surroundings, is bright gold and inlaid with some beautiful detail. Its interior is coloured black to make the colourful symbols pop effectively from their surroundings. Regular symbols are a collection of different coloured gemstones. The most valuable of thee is the red one, paying out at 25x your stake for five on a payline. Joining these is the golden phoenix representing the scatter for this game and the phoenix egg, the wild. The music for this game is very dramatic and played at a high tempo, giving the game a sense of urgency and anticipation.

There are three main features of this slot game. However, before explaining these, it should also be pointed out that the wild in this game (the phoenix egg) can replace any other symbol apart from the scatter to help create wins.

The first is called the Tumble feature; this is also referred to as the cascade feature in other games. This feature is triggered every time that you create a winner. The winning symbols are removed from the board here and replaced by a new set which ‘tumble’ from above to replace them.  The feature will continue to be triggered until a new set of symbols does not form a win.

The second feature is the Hot Spot Multiplier feature. This feature is triggered every time that there is a tumble. A multiplier is added to one of the positions of the previous winning symbols in a combination when it is vacant between the time when the old symbols leave and the new symbols arrive. Then, each time a winning symbols lands on this multiplier position, the multiplier is increased by 1x. The winning combination each time is boosted by the multiplier that is currently active. You can only keep increasing the value of the multiplier with winning spins; however, a winless spin will reset the multiplier value to 1x.

Lastly, there is the Free Spins Feature. Landing 3 or more of the golden phoenix scatter is how you trigger this feature. Doing so will give you a payout in line with the number of scatters that you used to trigger the bonus. The maximum payout that one can achieve is 20x your stake for five scatters.  The scatter number also influences how many free spins you are awarded. The maximum is 20 free spins for five scatters.

Both the Tumbling reels mechanic and the Hot Spot Multiplier feature are active on this round. However, in the free spins round, the multipliers will not reset if you create a winless tumble. You can also retrigger the round by landing an additional three or more scatter symbols.
