Flaming Frenzy Slot Information

The game’s design is based on a mining theme where you can see the dark entrance of the mine just behind the reels in the middle of the screen. Large cactuses stand on each side of the reel, and we are guessing that by the look of the background, this slot takes place in the southern United States. Gold mining takes place all around the world, but the United States is home to some of the largest gold mines in the world and produces about 200 tonnes of gold each year. You’ll have to try your luck to find gold in this game, and you’ll find all buttons in the right corner, including the Bonus Buy, Spin, and Bet size buttons. You can play Flaming Frenzy on all mobile devices, desktops, and notepads. You create a winning combination by landing 8 or more of the same symbol types anywhere on the reels due to the Scatter Pays mechanic, and a win then triggers the Cascade.

The lower-paying symbols are a triangle, square, pentagon, heart, and octagon.  Landing 18+ of the same symbol type pays between 30X and 90X. The higher-paying symbols are a shovel, hatchet, lantern, and an orange hat with lightning. Landing 18+ of the same symbol type pays between 120X and 600X.

The Scatter Symbol is a mineworker with a yellow hard hat, and landing 3 or more of this symbol type anywhere on the reels can trigger the Free Spins feature. The Red Blaze is a fireball with a multiplier with a value of X5, and the Blue Blaze is a blue flaming ball with a multiplier of 10X. There is no Wild Symbol in this game, and now, let’s find out what kind of features this game has to offer!

Flaming Frenzy Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot of Flaming Frenzy?

The max win is 5000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot of Flaming Frenzy?

The features of this slot game are Cascade, Blaze Zone, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Cascade

The Cascade feature is activated when a win is created, and the winning symbols will be removed from the reels. New symbols will fall from above and allow winning combinations; this will continue as long as new winning combinations are created.

Blaze Zone

The Blaze Zone is the top row of the grid, and symbols on this row will spin horizontally. Symbols in the Blaze Zone can appear with either Blue Blaze or Red Blaze. If you make a win with a Red Blaze, the win is multiplied by 5X. Making a winning combination, including a Blue Blaze, will multiply the win by 10X. For example, if a shovel appears in the Blaze Zone with a Red Blaze around it, and the shovel is a part of winning combinations of 8+ of the same symbol type, the Red Blaze will have a multiplying effect of 5X, which is applied to the win the Shovel Symbols create.

The symbols in the Blaze Zone are always blazed with either Red or Blue Blaze during the Free Spins.

Free Spins

To trigger the Free Spins feature, you must land 3 or more Scatter Symbols on any reel and the feature starts from 10 Free Spins, and you receive 2 extra Free Spins for each Scatter Symbol above 3 up to a maximum of 25 Free Spins. Landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols during the feature will retrigger the Free Spins, you start with 5 Free Spins, and you receive 2 extra Free Spins for each Scatter Symbol above 3 up to a maximum of 25 Free Spins.  

The Blaze Zone symbols start the feature with the Red Blaze, but once the feature is retriggered, the Blue Blaze is activated on all symbols that land on the first row.

All symbols in the Blaze Zone are blazed with either Red or Blue Blaze, awarding a multiplier of 5X or 10X, respectively, if the symbol type is part of a win. The feature will end when the maximum win is reached or when there are no more Free Spins.

Bonus Buy

If you want to take advantage of the Free Spins feature immediately, you can use the bonus buy option. You pay 100X the bet to activate the Free Spins feature.

Flaming Frenzy Slot Conclusion

This game provides an entertaining gaming experience with few features that share similarities to previous releases from the provider, such as Rune Raiders or Super Sundae. The top row is called the Blaze Zone and spins differently compared to the rest of the reels, giving the game a creative touch to an otherwise basic slot. The music and the sound effects are fitting for the theme and remind us of an old Western movie like the Three Amigos, but it could be more innovative, and it feels like we have both heard and seen it all before.

The RTP of 95.71% is slightly below average, and the max win of 5000X the bet is good considering the low/medium volatility, which suits players who are looking for a slot with more consistent wins and a less risky gaming experience. When we first saw this game, we thought it was a reskin of Rune Raiders just because of the similarities of the design and the scatter pays mechanic. Although the two games share features, like the Blaze Fireballs and the setup, the Flaming Frenzy offers enough differences to be regarded as a new game; however, we cannot say the provider shows much uniqueness here. We appreciated the interplay between the features in this game and the blazed symbols during the Free Spins, which could give decent wins, even though the multiplier had a maximum value of 10X. If you are fond of providers' previous releases, this game will satisfy you, but we were expecting something more like sticky symbols or Wild Symbols to elevate the gaming experience.

Flaming Frenzy is a slot with a well-proven gold mining theme that offers the Blaze Zone and a Free Spins feature that helps you dig for gold and the max win of 5000X.
