Red Hot Volcano Review

What would happen if you placed Tarzan and Jane on an island with a highly active volcano. Well, it’s hard to tell, since there are no movies where that actually happens. The closest you get is the 2003 cartoon series, Tarzan and the Volcanic Diamond Mine, but the above seems to be the premise of Booming Games’ Red Hot Volcano.

The Tarzan-side of the theme is hardly overdeveloped, to put it that way, but you get to hear his characteristic ‘jungle yell’ whenever you collect 2 fireballs on the same reel. This triggers the wild reel feature, which can lead to a screen full of wilds and 300x payouts in the base game. Each simultaneous wild reel trigger increases the multiplier in the bonus round however, which can lead to total payouts up to 10,000x your stake.

Red Hot Volcano Slot Features

The wild symbol steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you complete winning combos. It’s also the highest value symbol in the game, awarding 50x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. The premium symbols pay between 3x and 15x for the same, in comparison.

Above each reel you’ll see a Fireball Collector meter consisting of 2 framed empty/black squares.

Fireballs are collected in these meters on the reel they appear, and when you fill a meter with 2 fireballs you get a wild reel for the 2 following spins. Fireballs collected are stored per bet level, and the meter resets as the wild reel feature plays out. Wild reels can be carried over into the bonus round.

You trigger said Bonus Round by landing 3 volcano scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin. This awards 10 Fiery Free Spins, and the feature can be retriggered the same way it was triggered in the first place. Each active wild reel increases the win multiplier by +2, and it starts at x1 for no wild reels.

You thus get a global multiplier of x2, x4, x6, x8 and x10 for 2, 3, 4 and 5 wild reels active at the same time, respectively.

You get to see exactly 2 minutes of base game play, with multiple wild reel triggers, before we land 3 scatters to trigger the bonus round. The feature plays out for the remainder of the 3:18-minutes highlights video, and we get a decent payout towards the end. Check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Mixing Tarzan and Jane lookalikes with a volcano theme can perhaps be said to be somewhat original, but it still feels like a half-hearted effort from Booming Games. You get to hear what we presume is the King of the Jungle dude say “Nice!” every time you collect a fireball, which will get on your nerves pretty quickly. The same can be said about the classic ‘Tarzan yell’ that accompanies all wild reel triggers.

Visually, the game comes across as somewhat dated, with almost no animations to liven things up. You will get some wild reels payouts here and there in the base game to keep you going, but even a full screen awards only 300x your stake. This single spin potential is upped to a more decent 3,000x in the bonus round, with an overall win cap of 10,000x your stake. Nothing revolutionary going on here in other words, and it cannot escape shelf-filler status.

Pros

• Collect fireballs to get wild reels
• FS w/ wild reel multipliers up to x10
• Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

• RTP of 95.71 % is below average
• Single spin base game max win is 300x

If you enjoy Red Hot Volcano Slot you should also try:

Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar - is a Gameburger Studios release about the king of apes, and you will see him swing across the reels at random times to provide wilds.

You can also win scatter jackpots up to 5,000x your stake, and the overall 12,500x potential is solid for a medium volatile effort.

Gold Volcano - is a somewhat underrated volcano-themed release from Play’n Go, and it plays out on a 3-4-5-6-6-5-4-3 reel set that mimics the shape of the background volcano. You get 3 random modifiers, a symbol transformation meter and eruption free spins on an expanded 8x8 grid. The 10,000x max win is also pretty solid.

Fire Toad - is set on another island with a highly active volcano, and you get to follow the evolution of a very special amphibia species. The base game comes with 4 stages of development in that regard, and each bonus round retrigger upgrades the symbols. The overall max win is 5,000x your stake.
