- A tumble slot without the Megaways mechanics
- A strong RTP over 96% is appealing
- Quite a low max win for a slot focused on multipliers
Phoenix Forge slot is a new, multiplier-focused game from Pragmatic Play with tumbles meaning winning symbols are removed for new ones. When it comes to the design it’s quite bright and vibrant, though not as visually impressive as some out there from competitors. You have a simple 5×3 reel layout with 20 pay lines. All you need to do is get a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols which are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Green or Amber Gem
- Purple or Blue Gem
- Green Gem
- Yellow Gem
- Red Gem
There is a wild symbol too, shown as an egg, which substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the bonus symbol. It appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4.
Phoenix Forge Slot Bonuses and Features
Hot Spot Multiplier. In this game, every win and tumble is marked with a 1x multiplier added. Wins made in the marked areas get an increased multiplier of 1x also. This resets after each spin.
Free Spins Bonus. In order to trigger this, you need to land 3 or more scatters anywhere on the reels. This will also give you a small reward, increasing up to 20x for 5 scatters along with 20 free spins, compared to 15 for 4 scatters and 10 for 3. You can probably guess how this bonus is going to work. Unlike the base game, multipliers do not reset after each spin so you can really build them up to get bigger rewards. You can also land 3 or more scatters during the bonus to give you 5 free spins.
Conclusion
Phoenix Forge slot from Pragmatic Play is a pretty simple game with a decent base game and a free spins bonus that effectively lets you build up some good multipliers, much like many other free spins bonus such as those often seen in Megaways games, though this one is slightly different. What’s most interesting is the high RTP of 96.51%, an impressive statistic which might draw some players in. The maximum win is 5,000x which is a bit of a shame for a slot that focuses on building up multipliers. Overall it’s not a bad game, but it’s nothing particularly special either so give it a go if you’d like, or find something else that has some better rewards.
