Fire Joker Freeze

Overview Fire Joker Freeze

In the interminable battle of fire versus Ice, players strive to use each element’s special bonus to build their score and come home with some great payouts. In the cannon of Play ‘n GO’s slots, Fire Joker Freeze can easily be categorised as being one of its simpler games. Despite this simplicity, the very high-quality graphics, exciting features, and fun visuals make this slot a lucrative and engaging prospect.

Speaking of the features for this game, they include re-spins, sticky stacked wilds and the special unique feature for this game: The Wheel of Fire and Ice. This latter feature can boost your win with the use of a progressive multiplier that starts at x2 but has the potential to climb to as much as 20x as you move through the levels.

Theme and Symbols

Play ‘n GO have amalgamated roughly 3 themes into one here. The first of which is easily identifiable by the classic fruity symbols and 3x3 playing format -that of the quintessential fruity machine. The second is the Joker aesthetic which has been chosen to provide the game with some interesting characters to engage with. The third is the diametrically opposed elements of fire and ice. This all is all overlaid with a pumping soundtrack and some slick graphics.
When it comes to the background, Play ‘n GO have kept things relatively simple with a red diamond grid that makes for a relatively calm backdrop for what is very intense game.

The gaming board on the other hand has quite a few design flourishes which heighten the sense of quality from this game. The first one you might notice is the small plumes of fire that top each vertical framing post. Another is the golden reel separators hanging down and pointing up delineating the central reel. Play ‘n GO didn’t need to include these, but the board is instantly easier to read because of them. Finally, the back of the board receives a nice red wine velvet finish which gives the impression of pure luxury.

When it comes to the symbols for this game, there are 8 fruity symbols, each with their playing value. These comprise bars, grapes, and gold stars. Out of these the stars are the most valuable, paying 20x your stake for 3 on a pay line. In addition, the game has two wild symbols, the Fire Joker and Ice Joker. As well as substituting in for other symbols to score wins, the Joker wilds also pay up to 50x your stake for 3 in a row.

Features

There are 3 distinct bonus features available as part of this game. These are as follows:

The Re-Spin of Ice feature is activated when players land an ice Joker on the reels without created a win. When this happens, the Joker expands to fill the reel on which it is on and freezes in position. The unfrozen reels then spin with the one reel locked in place.

The Re-Spin of Fire feature is triggered in a slightly different way. To activate this bonus players need to land 2 of the same stacked symbols but not create a winner. These stacked symbols are then frozen in position and the free reels spin once. If you manage to land a stacked symbol of the same type or a wild on the last reel with this spin, you will activate the Wheel of Fire and Ice feature.

The Wheel of Fire and Ice feature is activated when all reels are full of the same symbol or wilds. This wheel offers you 4 levels of multiplier bonuses. The number of Ice Jokers that you landed the bonus with will determine which circular reel you’ll start on. The more that you landed the further out on the ring you start. On the reel, you’ll notice there are snowflakes and multipliers. If the spinning wheel lands on a snowflake, you will progress to the next level. If you land on a multiplier, then that multiplier is applied to the triggering spin win. The multiplier increases as you progress through the wheel.

These are explained below:
Wheel 1 Multipliers 2x, 3x, 4x and Snowflake symbols
Wheel 2 Multipliers 3x, 4x, 5x and Snowflake symbols
Wheel 3 Multipliers 4x, 5x, 6x and Snowflake symbols
Wheel 4 Multipliers 6x, 10x and 20x

Conclusion

Although this slot can sometimes blow hot and cold (which is to be expected considering the game’s title) it still has a lot of good content to offer players. The big wins, including that top win of 1,000x your stake is accessible mainly through the Wheel of Fire and Ice feature, taking into account those progressive multipliers. Play ‘n GO has created a good-looking slot here with addictive gaming dynamics.
