Flame Slot

Expect plenty of fiery action in Flame, a futuristic looking 5 reel, 20 payline slot game from NextGen Gaming. Look out here for no fewer than 7 modifier extras including win both ways pays, multipliers, bonus payouts, extra wilds and transforming symbols. There’s also a bonus round that awards up to 30 free spins with the 7 base game modifiers in play more frequently. Play on all devices from between 15p and £150 per spin.



The design here is a bit of a mixed bag - with a fire raging underneath the reels, you’ll see symbols featuring playing card suits, lightning, water, fire and leaves and eagles, wolves and lions. Land 5 lions for a 750-coin reward. There’s also a wild which can land on the middle 3 reels only. There’s futuristic feel to the imagery but we’re not sure exactly what theme is being represented here. What we can be sure of is that there are plenty of modifier extras:

    • Cross Flare feature - this can trigger at random following any spin. A payout is made from right to left or left to right depending on which offers the better award. 5 of a kind wins pay in both directions.
    • Flare Up feature - this can hit on any winning spin. The payout is boosted by a 2x, 3x, 5x, 7x or 10x multiplier.
    • Fire Whirl feature - Flame covers anywhere between 1 and 5 reels. Any wolf, eagle or lion symbols on a flame covered reel award a bonus prize of between 1 and 20 times your total stake.
    • Live Embers feature - any playing card suit symbols on reels 2, 3 and/or 4 become wild. A payout is then made with the extra wilds in position.
  • Spontaneous Combustion feature - trigger this and all of the fire, lightning, water and leaf symbols will all transform into the same eagle, wolf or lion.
  • Wild Inferno feature - this can hit on any spin where a wild is on the reels. Any wins from the current spin are paid and 1 re-pin awarded for each wild on show. These wilds remain sticky. The respins keep on coming as long as a new wild lands. A final payout is then made with all your extra wilds in place.
  • Firestorm feature - the wild and bonus symbols on the middle 3 reels combine to create a combined wild/bonus symbol. The wilds helps create a big winning chances while the bonus helps trigger the Free Games feature.

Free Games feature - land 3 bonus scatters to trigger that free spins round. You’ll then be awarded 15 free spins. Expect to land the Flame modifier extras more regularly in the feature than in the base game too. This can lead to the Flare Up feature triggering and giving you a multiplier up to 10x on each free spin! You can also retrigger the feature giving you 30 free spins in total.

The design here is nicely done but we found the concept a little confusing - the gameplay impresses though. If you like plenty of variety from your slot games, then Flame should certainly appeal as there’s plenty to get stuck into.

They don’t appear that regularly in the base game though. Watch out if you manage to land the Free Games feature though. Combine your free spins with the modifiers and Flame can deliver some pretty hot action if luck is with you – to the tune of 1,213 times your total stake. If you like fiery slot games, Fire Joker by Play ‘N Go or Firestorm by Quickspin are recommended.
