Fire Hopper Review

We like the simple and tranquil atmosphere Push Gaming has created with this pond-themed installment, and Fire Hopper is a highly entertaining cluster pays grid slot that reminds us of previous successes like Jammin' Jars and Fat Drac. This is a territory this developer knows well, but the idyllic surface hides a brutal killer of a math model underneath it all.

You can thus expect plenty of dead spins and smaller wins between any real base game action, and it comes in the form of a Wild Frog that increases its multiplier per leap. It jumps towards Firefly symbols and Instant Prize symbols, leaving behind a Gold Frog Wild whenever it moves. The wild multiplier never resets in the bonus round, and this is where you’re most likely to crack the very solid 50,000x potential.

Fire Hopper Slot Features

You win by landing 5 to 20+ matching symbols in a cluster anywhere on the 7x7 grid, and the different color Lotus flower symbols pay between 25 and 200 x your stake for 20+ in a cluster. Winning symbols are removed via the Cascading Wins feature, and new and/or existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps. This repeats for each win, and you also have 2 different wild symbols that step in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning clusters.

The Leaping Frog feature triggers when you land a Frog Wild together with a Firefly or Instant Prize symbol. You’ll then see the Frog Wild leap to the Firefly position, leaving a Gold Frog in its original spot.

The Frog Wild’s multiplier increases by +1 per leap, and it will also leap towards Instant Prize symbols. These come with up to 1,000x prizes, and the Frog Wild multiplier applies to the prizes as well as regular wins.

The Bonus Firefly symbol triggers the Bonus Round if, and only if, it appears at the same time as the Frog Wild. This awards 7 free spins, and the Frog Wild is carried over into the feature. The Frog remains in play for the duration of the bonus round, and its multiplier increases by +1 per leap also here. The Gold Frog it leaves behind carries the current multiplier, but Gold Frogs are removed between spins.

If you live in an eligible jurisdiction, you may be able to take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature.

This is not available for UK players however, and it will set you back 124x your stake for a guaranteed bonus round trigger. The RTP increases slightly when you purchase the bonus round, from 96.30 % (if you play the top-tier RTP version) to 96.38 %.

The 200 Spins Fire Hopper Slot Experience

We run into a lengthy cascading wins sequence right before the bonus round is triggered at 1:20 into the 2:49-minute highlights video. Day turns to night in the pond, and fireflies dance in the air as the Frog Wild leaps around doing its thing. You can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The simplistic visuals go well together with the tranquil and serene atmosphere Push Gaming as conjured up in Fire Hopper, and we only wish there would be even more frog leaping action in the base game. Getting a few of those multiplier toads at the same time can really make a dent though, and it's a highly enjoyable experience when this thing gets into the winning groove. Instant prize symbols can lead to heart-stopping moments if the multiplier has been juiced up to a respectable level.

With classics like Fat Rabbit and Jammin’ Jars 2 under their belt, Push Gaming is back in top shape with Fire Hopper. We’re also reminded of Hacksaw’s Hop N Pop, which is built around a similar concept. The bonus round is where things are most likely to take off, and the 50,000x potential is certainly nothing to complain about.

It would require one heck of a frog multiplier to crack in a single spin though, and 7 free spins isn’t all that much when you don’t get lengthy cascades.

Pros

• Leaping Frog Wild w/ increasing multiplier
• Leaping Frog instant prizes up to 1,000x
• FS w/ persistent leaping frog wild
• Win up to 50,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
