Phoenix Kingdom Review

Slot developer Pariplay keeps recycling its Reel Prizes feature and comes up with the Phoenix Kingdom slot, which takes players to the mythical realm of phoenixes to hunt for one of the four Jackpots, Free Spins, and juicy Cash Prizes.

Phoenix Kingdom - Slot Outlook

Set in the depth underneath the mountains, the Phoenix Kingdom slot plays out on a standard 5x3 reel set with 50 ways to play. Behind the reels, a colossal dark castle makes up the backdrop, illuminated by scorching flames and hot lava. The design is surely a highlight with its jaw-dropping graphics and special effects. The soundtrack is on spot too, as a piece of enigmatic music captures the essential magical vibes, adding a final touch to the general ambiance.

When it comes to the stats, Phoenix Kingdom comes with a math model similar to those found in other titles sporting the Reel Prizes mechanic. Here, players will benefit from medium volatility and a 36.81% hit rate, so wins should occur fairly often. The default RTP is solid above the average level at 96.24%, though, you can get lower return values since RTP ranges take place. Another option is 93.98%, which operators are free to choose and supply, thus be sure to check the paytables and game's rules before depositing.

The payback percentage also affects max win capability, and you can hope for the top prizes of 1,692x and 2,125x respectively. Meanwhile, betting options include wagers from $0.5 to $100 per spin.

The symbol collection in the Phoenix Kingdom slot consists of 9 regular symbols, split into two categories. As the title implies, phoenix birds are the top stars here, and premium symbols are made up of those 4 multicolored mythical beasts. They are followed by 5 low-paying symbols, represented by classic A-10 royals. Individual symbol values are fairly decent, with 5-of-a-kind low symbol wins worth from 0.5x to 0.7x the stake and high from 2x to 10x.

There are also 2 Wild symbols included that are worth double the top-paying symbol value and play into the features, covered below.

Phoenix Kingdom - Bonus Features

Gameplay-wise, Phoenix Kingdom doesn't differ too much from Pariplay's older slots like Power of the Gods or Wolf Riches, as the gameplay revolves around the Reel Prizes feature with hardly anything new added to it. Above each reel are standing random prizes, including either Jackpot, Free Spins, Credits, or Wild Bonus, which players trigger both in the base and the bonus games, though, prizes on reels 1 and 5 are locked in the base game. Anyway, let's get back to the Wild symbols upfront.

Phoenix Kingdom Slot - Free Spins

Both Wild symbols, namely Phoenix Egg Wild and Stacked Wild, substitute for any other regular symbols. Stacked Wilds, obviously, land in stacks of 3 or more symbols, plus they come with random cash values attached to them. They can also Nudge up or down if they're partially visible to cover the reel entirely, as well as the reels may randomly tilt to reveal additional Wilds. The Phoenix Egg Wild, in turn, is the key to triggering the Reel Prizes feature. To activate any prize, players need to land a Phoenix Egg Wild anywhere on that reel. What's more, Phoenix Egg Wilds can appear as a part of Wild Stack.

If the Phoenix Egg lands on a reel with a Wild Bonus prize above it, all cash values shown on Stacked Wilds will be awarded. Two Wilds above and two Wilds below the Phoenix Egg always come with credits attached to them.

On top of that, the Wild Bonus prize may award a Multiplier of up to 5x.

Phoenix Kingdom Slot - Jackpot WheelLanding the Phoenix Egg anywhere on a reel with a Free Spins prize will award 10 Free Spins. During the bonus game, each retrigger adds +2 spins to the total tally. The big difference from the base game is that Reel Prizes on reels 1 and 5 get unlocked in the Free Spins, increasing players' chances of hitting a Jackpot.To win one, players need to spin the Jackpot Wheel, which gets triggered when Phoenix Egg Wild symbols land below the Jackpot reel prize. Available Jackpots are the following: Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand. However, none of them are progressive and pay out fixed values of 15x, 35x, 250x, and 1,000x respectively.

Phoenix Kingdom - Slot Verdict

The Phoenix Kingdom's top-notch graphics mesmerize you from first sight, and so does the gameplay as soon as you proceed to it, entertaining the players with numerous features. Moreover, thanks to a decent hit rate and non-brutal math model Phoenix Eggs won't be elusive, so the features will trigger pretty often.

However, those who are familiar with that kind of gameplay won't find anything new here to get super fired, as Pariplay has been using that template for a while now and has released a couple of exciting titles powered by the Reel Prizes mechanics, and the Phoenix Kingdom slot offers quite a similar gaming experience, presented in a new package.

Anyway, given such a broad range of bonus features and extras, Phoenix Kingdom is definitely an enjoyable slot that won't let you feel bored during the gameplay. However, those who appreciate the Reel Prizes mechanic but seek new experiences can opt for the Dragons of the North Deluxe, where exciting Dragons Adventure Journey and Legendary Free Spins are to enliven the gameplay.
