At the stroke of midnight, revelers around the world welcomed 2017 with a bang. Fireworks lit up night skies from London to Tokyo. The brand new year is here, along with reinvigorated resolutions and hopefully, fresh fortunes. Well, what better time to play our Fireworks slot?
On every spin, you’ll try and light up the bonus firework, which explodes and creates the most dazzling Mega Win! This slot game is not just a display of smoke and loud bangs, but cold hard cash falling right onto your lap and into your wallet. It’ll rain money, not gunpowder ash!
Game Basics
Fireworks is set up like any other slot. It has the usual 3×5 reel setup and 10 fixed paylines. Eight different symbols can be found on the reels; in descending order of value, the symbols are as follows: fireworks, Lucky 7s, gold bars, wads of cash, diamonds, red hearts, blue gems and purple gems. All reel icons are often stacked, such that they fill up an entire reel.
Payouts range from 5x to 250x per symbol, although you can technically score winning combinations on multiple paylines at a time. The game promises a maximum payout is 5,000x your stake. Fireworks accepts bets between 20p to £100 per spin, which is sure to cater to players of all budgets and risk appetites.
Here’s the coolest part about the Fireworks slot: payouts are formed by three or more adjacent symbols anywhere on a winline. Contrast this against regular games that only declare winning combinations if they start on the leftmost column. Hence, your chances of winning are almost three times higher in Fireworks than in regular games!
I hate it when some games tease me with three symbols in a row, but starting from the second and third reel. Do you know how excited I was, only to be quickly disappointed? Well, there’s no evil tricks like these in Fireworks.
The game has an expected return to player percentage of 95.15%. This means that the game pays out £95.15 of every £100 wagered in the game. Of course, this figure is calculated over a large number of spins.
Bonus Features
At the start of every game, the fuse to the Bonus Firework is lit. If all the symbols on the first reel are the same when the reel stops, the fuse continues burning. If similar symbols appear on the second reel, the fuse burns even further. The same check will continue for the third, fourth and fifth reel. The fuse is extinguished if it reaches a reel without similar symbols. Anyway, if the fuse reaches the firework, the Firework Bonus is awarded! And man, is it a good one.
To start the Firework Bonus, you’ll press the flashing Firework button (next to the Spin button) to randomly select a reel and symbol. All other reels that do not contain the selected symbol will re-spin. Every reel will then produce at least one and up to three of your selected symbol. As a result of this reel re-jigging exercise, you’ll get plenty four and five-of-a-kind wins, across multiple paylines.
Cue Super Mega Win! You’ll want to cross your fingers that a high-value symbol like Gold Bars or Lucky 7s was selected to cover your entire game board. That’ll make your firework show extra rewarding.
Besides these features, Fireworks does not contain any Wild symbols or extra spins. Despite that, the game doesn’t feel dull, not for a single moment! I found myself hitting Spin as quickly as I could so that I could trigger the Bonus Fireworks again.
It’s a relatively mid-variance slot, so there were few frustrating moments when even the little wins eluded me. Then, the game makes it up to me with a bang and surprise big wins! Try and hang in there until you experience the Bonus Fireworks. It’s all worth it.
How Does The Game Perform?
The slot is as colourful and dazzling as you’d expect from a game titled Fireworks. It’s bright, sparkly and lots of fun. The animation and sound effects support the entire premise too – I love the cute whooshing sound of a firework being launched into the sky that is played whenever you score a winning combination. I must tell you about my favourite way to play Fireworks too: turn on the Autoplay, sit back and watch the show.
The Feature That You Should Look Out For
Fireworks is created by our very own UK-bred Realistic Games. This young gaming studio has produced many innovative slots. Don’t leave Fortune Frenzy without trying out Double Your Dough, which literally doubles your cash. Another one of my favourites is Crystal Clear – this game is a Wild fiesta with wild re-spins and mega payouts.
And Finally…
Fireworks is a simple yet brilliant slot. The quest to light up the Bonus Firework will grip you and keep you spinning for longer. The stacked symbols and reels that payout from anywhere on the payline will keep your casino balance healthy and replenished while you’re at it too. With a minimum stake of only 20p per spin, it allows even those with the smallest budgets to try their luck at new fortunes. Go and try Fireworks for yourself.
