Phoenix Forge Review

The Phoenix Bird is legendary for rising from the ashes after crash landing, but don’t expect the same to happen to your bankroll if this volatile beast burns it to the ground. Pragmatic Play has made a visually pleasing game with Phoenix Forge, and everything is very simple and straightforward. The game looks like something Red Tiger could’ve come up with, and Dragon's Fire is somewhat similar in terms of the increasing multiplier focus.

Phoenix Forge is no copycat project however, and it’s perhaps even more visually engaging when you see all the boosted multiplier hot spots that keep increasing during the bonus round. This goes on in the base game too, but there everything resets between spins. Pragmatic is still keeping a strict 5,000x max win policy to improve their reputation, and we certainly had a good time testing this game (see video further down in the review).

Phoenix Forge slot Features

The golden Phoenix egg is the wild symbol, and it can land on reels 2, 3 and 4 to step in for all regular pay symbols. Every win triggers the Tumble feature, which means that winning symbols are removed from the reels. New and/or existing symbols will then drop down to fill the gaps, and this avalanche mechanic goes on as long as you keep winning.

All winning symbol positions get highlighted by a Hot Spot multiplier frame after each tumble, and the frame starts at x1.

Each multiplier hot spot will be upgraded by new winning symbols, and this increases each affected multiplier with +1. All multipliers involved in a winning combo are summed up, before boosting the total win. Everything resets after a non-winning tumble.

The Phoenix Bird is the scatter symbol, and you need at least 3 anywhere in sight to trigger the Bonus Round. You’ll first get a scatter win of 2x, 5x or 20x your stake, respectively, when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters. Then you’ll be awarded 10, 15 or 20 free spins, also respectively.

You can win +5 extra free spins whenever you land 3+ scatters in the bonus round, and all multiplier frames are sticky for the duration of the feature.

The multipliers don’t reset between spins either, which means that the multiplier values will only increase until the feature ends.

The 200 Spins Phoenix Forge slot Experience

Our highlights video starts in the middle of the action this time, and we trigger the bonus round with 3 scatters immediately. The feature plays out for 3 minutes, and we managed to fill the screen with plenty of lucrative multipliers. This awarded one larger payout after another, and you can see it all play out by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

Phoenix Forge might not be earth-shattering in any way, but the game still provides above-average entertainment value. The visual presentation is solid, and the base game is kept interesting by the cascading multiplier building action. Granted, you will grind through plenty of dead spins between wins large enough to keep you afloat towards the bonus round.

The bonus round itself is also somewhat of a ‘hit or miss’ affair, but building up sticky progressive multiplier frames that don’t reset can be quite a tense experience when larger payouts start rolling in. Pragmatic is sticking with their new standard max win of 5,000x, which is a decent enough potential. It’s half of what’s on offer in the similar Dragon's Fire from Red Tiger however, but the 96.51 % RTP is more on your side in this release.

Pros

• Progressive multiplier hot spots
• Bonus round /w non-resetting multipliers
• Win up to 5,000x your stake

Cons

• Too volatile for casual players
