Blazing Wilds Megaways slot from Pragmatic Play is a new, joker-themed game with a familiar design and layout that offers the Megaways mechanic from BTG. The design doesn’t really stand out if I’m being honest, and I’ve never really been a fan of this type of theme, but I’m sure some of you will appreciate it. You have 6 reels and up to 117,649 ways to win and all you need to do is spin the reels to try and get a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:

Blazing Wilds Megaways Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. Like most slots, this one also has a wild symbol and it substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the scatter symbol. It appears only on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Scatter Symbol. Shown as a crown, this symbol can appear on all reels during the base game and it’s used to trigger the free spins bonus.
Tumbles. Being a Megaways slot, it’s no surprise that there are tumbles in this game. For those of you not familiar with this mechanic, it means that winning symbols are removed from the screen allowing new ones to fall in from above and fill the empty positions. If this creates more wins, the same will happen again and again until there are no more wins, all within the same spin so it’s at no extra cost to you.
Expanding Wilds. Whenever a wild symbol hits, more wilds are added above it to the top row. After this happens, a multiplier appears equal to the amount of wilds on that reel. This applies to all wins the wilds are part of, and if there are other multipliers from other expanding wilds, they multiply each other rather than add.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered when you land 3, 4, or 6 scatter symbols anywhere on the screen at once to give you 15, 20 or 25 free spins, respectively. During the bonus, all multipliers that appear from the expanding wilds feature are double.
Bonus Buy. In some regions outside the U.K., you can buy the main bonus of the game for 100x your stake, instantly landing either 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols randomly.
Conclusion
Blazing Wilds Megaways slot from Pragmatic Play is a relatively simple slot with features that aren’t exactly new, but they’ve been implemented in a way that’s rather effective in practise. The base game gives you tumbles and expanding wilds that, importantly, multiply together instead of add. This is even more effective in the free spins bonus where all multipliers are double, so this effect becomes even more important. Pragmatic Play have also offers a nice 10,000x win potential up from the more standard 5,000x, so it’s definitely a slot that you might want to consider.
