Burning Reels is a dramatic, compelling slot right from its opening scenes of raging forest fires, and the energy is maintained throughout play. Players follow a template which is both quirky and rewarding, and this all-action game with a familiar setting is a real winner.
Here you get the chance to join a top class fire-fighting team and help them conquer the flames, all from a safe behind a screen at a distance. Plus, as Burning Reels is designed for all devices, it looks just as good on a phone as on a tablet.
All the equipment you might need is available, as are special features like fire alarm multipliers, free spins and, after each win, an optional gamble invitation.
Burning Reels has an amazing animated background which creates atmospheric scenes on screen. The flames are so hot even the game title is on fire, so it’s a good job there are brave fire-fighters on hand to deal with things.
The red hot reels sit in a 5x3 format, and the transparent background is edged with water pipes - perfect for highlighting the familiar 3D symbols. Along with the WILD icon is a male fire-fighter wearing full breathing gear and his female co-worker, who is the SCATTER. She awards free spins to help you battle this fiery destructive force.
Other symbols represent the equipment they depend on to fight those dangerous and destructive flames, including:
- A fire engine to tackle the immediate fires
- A chopper able to release water from the air
- A portable fire extinguisher, useful for small break-out fires.
- A fire hose, essential to direct the water supply where it is most needed.
- A hard hat, designed for extra safety.
Soundwise Burning Reels shines once again, with background music that fuels tension and complements the storyline perfectly, while the sound effects are eerily realistic. You can expect to hear the helicopter hovering overhead, the crackle of woodland burning in the fires and, of course, plenty of sirens too.
The maximum bet you can make on Burning Reels is €100, but those looking to wager less can stake from just €0.01 per spin.
When playing in fun mode, the payouts in this game are extremely generous - a fitting reward for your hard work on the front line. For top rewards cross your fingers that five WILDS to appear in one spin, as that will land you an amazing €25,000. For a €5,000 win you need either four wilds or five helicopter symbols, while the fire truck icon pays 2,500 for a full house.
The helmet, hose, fire extinguisher, axe, badge and fire hydrant may not be the biggest items on the screen, but they are all important regardless. These symbols pay from 500 to 1,250 for five on a line, down to between 2.5 and 25 for two matches. Overall, there are plenty of chances to create a winning line and boost your prize pot, which adds even more to the appeal of this slot.
No slot would be complete without a decent free spins round, and Burning Reels doesn’t disappoint. Up to ten free spins are awarded by matching 3+ SCATTERS on one spin, and if you happen to land the shiny red fire bell during these freebies, it transforms into a multiplier and doubles the win.
Every win can be gambled if you want to try to double what you banked. Success is yours if you pick the correct burning bush to extinguish, but get it wrong and you forfeit the coins.
