- A classic-looking slot from popular developer NetEnt
- Wild symbols move around for more rewards
- A volatile game but the win potential isn’t huge
Let It Burn slot from NetEnt is one of their newest games and it comes with a more classic design, something we haven’t seen in a little while actually. It’s not for everyone, some prefer a more modern look with bright, vibrant graphics and more detail, but I can see the appeal of a simpler, classic design with more familiar symbols like sevens and diamonds. I actually like the background here, it’s a subtle but effective animation of smoke and ash flying around, in keeping with the theme. There are 5 reels to play on with 4 rows, giving you a total of 1,024 ways to win. All you need is a winning combination of matching symbols from left to right. The symbols to look out for are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Jack or Queen
- King or Ace
- Cherry or Bar
- Bell
- Seven
- Diamond

Let It Burn Slot Bonuses And Features
Rolling Reels. These can appear randomly on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the base game or free spins bonus, starting with a value of 1x. A regular base symbol that lands on it will move the reel 1 position down on the next spin, increasing its value by 1. Eventually it will disappear off the reels. If 2 or more move to the same position, they merge into 1 rolling reel on the next spin with the values added.
Wild Symbols. This game actually has a number of wild symbols, all substituting for all others in a winning combination, apart from each other and the scatter. A wild up symbol moves a rolling reel to the next highest position, increasing its value by 1 for the next spin. A wild left or right moves the rolling reel one position to the left or right, increasing its value by 1. And finally, a wild +3 increases the value of that reel by 3. They can only land on rolling reels.
Free Spins Bonus. For this bonus to trigger you’ll need 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols, shown as coins, giving you 10, 15 or 20 free spins. The reel area in the game is increased, and at the start of the bonus, 1-3 rolling reels are placed and given a value of 1x. You can land 2, 3, 4 or 5 scatters during the bonus to get an additional 3, 5, 8 or 12 free spins, respectively. Once the bonus ends, the rolling reels that were in play before the bonus started are restored.
Bonus Buy. Outside the U.K., you can buy the bonus for 100x, 150x or 200x to get 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively.
Conclusion
Let It Burn slot may sound like a rip off from the popular Usher song of the same name, but it’s certainly unrelated. It has a classic design which I quite like, and the rolling reels work very nicely. The free spins bonus also adds another reel and more ways to win. The only disappointment is the relatively low win potential of just 2,700x, quite low when you consider this is a volatile game.
