As usual for a Play ’N Go slot game, the design impresses. There’s the feel of an ancient civilisation here. Set against a pyramid-style palace building, the reels include primitive playing card suit symbols as well as a pelican, snake and big cat. The most rewarding symbols are the male and female warriors.
Both of these spin in fully stacked formation. Land 5 of the female warrior symbol in combination and you’ll pocket an award of 10 times your stake. The flaming phoenix is the game’s wild. This substitutes for all other symbols. Whenever the phoenix hits, it expands to turn the whole of that reel wild.
The gold face mask is the scatter. Land 3, 4 or 5 of these to trigger the game’s Free Spins feature. On offer here are 7, 12 or 20 free spins. You’re guaranteed to land at least 1 expanding phoenix wild during each of those free spins too. Land 2, 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the same free spin and you’ll get a retrigger with 3, 7, 12 or 20 extra free spins added to your tally (to give you a potential 40).
Play ’N Go has kept things pretty simple as far as gameplay goes in Phoenix Reborn. You won’t find a huge variety of features here. There’s no shortage of action though thanks to the stacked symbols, expanding wilds and of course, free spins.
As you’d hope for a slot game based on the mythical flaming creature, the volatility is pretty hot. In fact, you won’t find many more games where the variance is as high as here. It does have the payouts to match with 5,000 times your stake available.
Simple gameplay, classy design and super high volatility has worked for Play ’N Go before. If that combination sounds appealing, then you’ll want to take a closer look at Phoenix Reborn. I also suggest you play Wild Falls, by Play ‘N Go, which offers wins of up to 10,000 times your stake on each spin.
