Fireworks Master

We all love fireworks, even if our dogs don’t. Thatä’s why they are shot up during every big celebration. Now, originally fireworks come from China, so it is no wonder that Playson has chosen a panda as the master of fireworks for this slot. The game is not just about making big explosions to distract the player. What you’ll find is a beautifully done game with worthwhile mechanics and plenty of reasons to keep you spinning.

Theme

You’re not going to spot a lot of fireworks here straight away. Instead, you will be welcomed with relaxing and soothing oriental music, that might just make you fall asleep like the titular character. Once the real action starts you will be sure to wake up though. On the reels, you’ll find all sorts of symbols, and again no fireworks at all. Instead, the theme has more to do with Chinese culture than shooting up rockets. Either way, it manages to hold you in its grasp from the first spin onwards.

Betting Options and Functions

243 ways to win(to start with) and stacked symbols with a grid of bonus symbols underneath. Not exactly your typical setup, but familiar enough to be easily understood. And then again, all you need to do is press the spin button to go forwards and claim the possible wins.

The game comes with four different layers of symbols. The first one is your usual five times three setup, with the subsequent ones forming different kind of patterns. On each spin, you have three stacks of symbols and a fourth layer which reveals the bonus symbols. Symbols form combinations both from left to right and right to left, and every time you manage to reach a new layer the number of possible ways to win increases. This comes with the downside of rather low payouts.

Features

Free spins will be activated when you uncover more than seven bonus symbols from the fourth layer. Each extra symbol on top of this grants more spins, with fourteen the maximum. During the spins themselves you can earn more from each bonus symbol you uncover.

Once you manage to uncover the bonus layer completely you get a chance to win big with the bonus wheel. One spin is all you get, but this might land a straight out cash win, or simply pay up to fifty times your total bet.

During free spins, the possible winning combinations increase to over tenfold. There are up to 3125 ways to win, though you need some luck to get that far. Otherwise, you have to stick with slightly fewer possibilities.

Our Take

The way the reels and symbols are laid up, on top of each other, is truly something I haven’t seen before. For this reason alone you should check out this slot. In fact, the only reason not to play is if you think this is simply a fireworks show. There is a downside to the game, which is the minimal wins. With some luck though, you’ll get a chain reaction of combinations going and with that, you can build up quite an expulsion of coins.
