Queen of Fire Frozen Flames

Queen of Fire Frozen Flames Overview

Created by the Spinomenal studio, this new game is an exercise in fantastic reality and one that leans heavily on a combination of World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy regarding the visuals. It is indeed quite the whirlwind as far as the theme is concerned. However, from a playing dynamics point of view, things are relatively straightforward. Players are presented with a standard five-reel ten pay line board that requires players to find formations from left to right. This game’s RTP is 95.9%, and the stake range available is between 10p and £100. Queen of Fire Frozen Flames is available across mobile, tablet and desktop platforms.

This game has a few features to keep an eye out for. The first is a randomly triggered feature that syncs up two reels to help score more wins. The next feature is an expanding symbols bonus. This feature is triggered when a wild icon appears on a synced reel. Should this happen, the wild expands to the height of the reel. If you land five wilds in a winning combination, the game awards a bonus payout of 2,000x the stake. This game also has a collect and win round, a free spins game, and a bonus buy option. All features will be explained in more detail later in the review.

Theme and Symbols

We failed to mention in this introduction that this game is part of a series of products that incorporate the Queen of Fire. Unlike the other games, the bulk of the visual narrative is not dominated by fire and a red/orange palette. As this is the ‘frozen flames’ game, colours and images are inspired by a much cooler palette, with blues and whites as the primary colours used. The soundtrack has an epic fantasy movie feel, with swelling horns and dramatic resounding drum beats thundering through the speakers.

The background for this game is an image we assume depicts the Queen’s icy castle at night. To the left and right of the playing board, players can see sharp turrets and curved blue windows that give the impression of a much larger edifice made from a black onyx-like stone. Beyond this ominous-looking building is a beautiful night sky, punctuated by small clusters of bright white stars twinkling far above the earth (or whatever bizarre fantasy planet this game is set on). Like the previous games in the series, the fantasy element is strong here. Fans of the Lord of The Rings will feel right at home.

The playing board for this game is a black mirror with detailed edges and corners in the same sinister style as the castle.
The symbols for Queen of Fire Frozen Flames are split into high-value, low-value and special symbols. The low-value symbols are the 10, J, Q, K and A in playing card royals. The A is the most valuable of these paying out at 40x the stake for the top combination. On the other hand, the more valuable symbols are the blue potion bottle, the chalice, the purple potion bottle and the piece of jewellery. The jewellery is the most valuable symbol, worth 1,000x the stake. The specials in this game comprise the Queen of Fire wild, the free spins scatter and the bonus chest.

Game Play

Queen of Fire Frozen Flames is played on a 5-reel, 4-row machine with ten fixed pay lines. To win combinations, players must land three or more matching symbols on pay lines moving from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.

Features

The first bonus feature included in this game is triggered at random. It is a synced reel dynamic that will randomly sync two reels to help score more wins.
The second bonus here is the expanding wild feature, triggered when a wild symbol lands on a synced reel. Should this happen, the wild will expand to the full height of the row, making it completely wild.
Next is the bonus game, triggered when three or more bonus chests come into view at the same time. Should this happen, a special bonus round starts with three spins and an empty meter popping up on the left-hand side of the reels. It is your duty then to try and collect symbols to fill the meter. The more symbols you land, the bigger the payout at the end of the feature. You can also land little +1 icons that give additional spins.
Finally, there is the free spins game. To activate this bonus, players need to land three or more of the free spin icons. This will give you ten free spins. However, you can also gamble your spins to win even more spins. You can do this multiple times with the number of spins won increasing each time you win. However, lose, and all your spins are lost, and you return to the base game. The free spins are straightforward, with both sync and expanding wild features still in play.
This game also has a bonus buy option; however, it is not available in the UK.

Conclusion

Following in the successful footsteps of the other games in this series, Queen of Fire Frozen Flames is a great game with plenty of feature content. From a win potential perspective, things are great, too, although the RTP could be a little better. The top wins here, though, are very tempting. Perhaps play this one in demo mode for a bit to get to grips with it before playing the full version.
