Phoenix Inferno Review

Slot developer 1x2 Gaming takes a break from classic slot machines and eventually comes up with a game aimed at the mainstream audience. Phoenix Inferno is a new addition to the developer’s growing portfolio, bringing a change and taking us on a bit more volatile journey to fiery lands of mythical phoenixes, fire-breathing dragons, chimeras, and hellhounds, where players can hunt for big wins of up to 7,500x the stake

Phoenix Inferno - Slot Outlook

Deeply inspired by fiery birds, 1x2 Gaming’s slot takes us to the scorching homeland of these mythical creatures, where green meadows are replaced by volcanos, rivers by red-hot lava, and common fauna by blazing beasts. A breathtaking sight indeed, as long as you enjoy it from the screen though. It’s not the most original theme choice, yet we still have to pay credits to the design team, as the audio-visual aspect in Phoenix Inferno is flawless. The soundtrack really deserves special mention, as it fits the gameplay perfectly and adds a final touch to the general ambiance.

Phoenix Inferno Slot - Reel Screen

The actions in the Phoenix Inferno slot take place across a 5x3 grid with an all-ways pay system, producing 243 ways to play. Despite its brutal name, Phoenix Inferno comes with medium-high volatility that plenty can take on. The RTP, in turn, is quite disappointing below the industry’s average at 95%.

Anyway, wins should occur daily often since the hit rate seems to be decent, albeit not disclosed. Speaking of wins, most come via the Free Spins feature, covered below, and the slot is capable of giving payouts of up to 7,500x the stake. Meanwhile, players drop in by betting from $0.2 to $50 per spin.

The symbol collection in the Phoenix Inferno slot is made up of 11 regular symbols, split into two categories. On the lower side, the pay symbols start with classic A-9 royals, then go 5 premiums, including in ascending order volcanoes, chimeras, hellhounds, dragons, and a fire sorceress. The phoenix symbol is Wild, acting as a substitute for any other regular symbols.

To score wins, you need to land at least 3 instances of the same symbol adjacently starting from the leftmost reel, and the top-paying enchantress symbol pays out for two-of-a-kind and more. Low-paying symbol wins are worth from 2x to 4x the stake, and premium symbols from 5x to 10x.

Phoenix Inferno - Bonus Features

Those looking for dozens of extras and bonus games won’t find anything here to get super fired, as the Phoenix Inferno slot relies heavily on its single feature of Free Spins. To trigger it, you need to land at least 3 Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels simultaneously during the base game. 3, 4, or 5 triggering Scatter symbols will award 8, 12, or 16 spins respectively, as well as landing 4 or 5 Scatters also removes one or two lowest-paying royal symbols for the remainder of the bonus game.

Phoenix Inferno Slot - Free Spins

Before the Free Spins round kicks off, a certain number of Wild symbols will be added to the reels, namely 65, 70, and 75 for landing 3, 4, and 5 Scatter symbols respectively. During free games, all phoenix Wild symbols appear stacked, though, only on reels 2-5. Retriggers are also possible, with 3, 4, and 5 Scatters awarding 4, 6, and 8 additional spins. Moreover, each retrigger removes the lowest royal symbol but does not add new Wilds.

Phoenix Inferno - Slot Verdict

Phoenix Inferno is definitely a hot slot, though not hot enough to get savvy gamblers super fired. First and foremost, there’s a strong lack of features in the base game, which is limited to simple spinning with no bonus extras.

The only way to succeed here is the Free Spins feature, which might take some time to activate. Anyway, it can produce significant wins that may be well worth the wait.

Pros

• Stunning graphics
• Exciting Free Spins with Symbol Removals and Wild Stacks
