Land-based feel
9 Masks of Fire started life in brick and mortar casinos and that’s evident in this rather simple looking slot game version. On the reels you’ll see cherries, bars, bells and $ signs as well as single, double and treble bars. The bars can pay in any combination. The treble is the most rewarding though, awarding 2.5, 26.25 or 37.5 times your stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.
Wilds award up to 125 x stake
The shiny white diamond is the wild. This substitutes for all the standard symbols. Land 3, 4 or 5 of them in combination and you’ll receive a payout of 6.25, 25 or 125 times your stake.
Scatter payouts of up to 2,000 x stake
The mask is the scatter. Land 3 or more of these on the same spin to win a cash prize. The more scatters, the bigger those prizes get. Payouts start at 1 time your stake if you land 3. If you manage to find 9 of them, you’ll pocket a massive award of some 2,000 times your stake.
Unlimited free spins with multipliers
Appearing on the middle 3 reels only is the tribal shield. Land 3 of them on the same spin and you’ll activate the Free Spins feature where you’ll spin the free spin wheel. Here you can land 10, 12, 15 or 20 free spins with a 2x multiplier or 25 or 30 free spins with a 3x multiplier. Unlimited retriggers are possible here too with your initial multiplier. The mask scatter can appear for 2,000 times stake cash prizes.
Simple gameplay, medium variance
There’s nothing extravagant about 9 Masks of Fire. The design is rather simple and offers only a nod to the African theme. The gameplay is similarly straightforward. The free spins with multipliers can lead to wins of 7,500 times your stake on each free spin (2,500 times stake max win subject to trebling multiplier).
Big prizes are also on offer from the mask scatters. The variance is in the medium range. If you’ve enjoyed the live version of 9 Masks of Fire, then you should like what Microgaming has done in this simple online adaptation. If you want to play a popular land-based slot game that is available online, there’s no better example than Novomatic’s Book of Ra Deluxe.
