Miss Wildfire

According to a backup story, Edgar Woodart had spent most of his life studying the arcane art of alchemy, but soon realized he was about to fail. Luckily, here came Miss Wildfire, the female fire spirit that took pity on his soul and became his only friend.

Enter Edgar's lab and feel the heat from this lighthearted adventure from ELK Studios' slot portfolio taking place across 6x4 reels, while offering 466 ways to win and a maximum prize of 5000x the total bet!

Theme and Symbols

This magical adventure takes place inside Woodart's lab showing different items scattered on a table in front of the blazing fireplace from where Miss Wildfire will emerge to try to light up the failed scientist but also put a smile on punters' faces!

Although the story behind it seems a bit dark, the design and visuals are quite the opposite, showing cartoon-like icons with a humorous twist, complemented perfectly by a rather comical soundtrack playing in the background as you spin.

Moreover, these sounds change when you trigger the bonus round, making the whole adventure even more appealing!

The transparent reels feature pretty big icons, showing nicely-executed symbols starting from card royals from 10 to A, followed by pyramids, cubes, and red gems.

Miss Wildfire is the main spreading Wild symbol that will transform the rather funky log characters into wilds whenever she lands on the reels! 

But, do not get confused as you are about to see three different Wilds – a standard 'W' wild, Miss Wildfire – red hue and Miss Wildfire – purple hue!

Betting Options and Other Functions

If you want to start making some magic, you need to set your bets that range from $0.20 to $100.

Expect to get a decent shot at a return on your money, with the calculated RTP of this medium-volatile online game being 96.1%, while the hit frequency stands at 22.9%.

The action takes place across 6 reels and 4 rows, offering 466 ways to win.

The highest-paying symbol is the red gemstone which rewards up to 10x your total stake for 6 of them on a pay line, while at the low end, there are card royals from 10 to A, rewarding up to 0.5x to 1.2x your bet for a single six of a kind.

Miss Wildfire, with a flaming red bouffant, is the Wild that substitutes for all the standard symbols and can also trigger here own mini re-spin feature, while...

...the log symbol is an extra symbol that will be core to the features and also yields 0.5x your bet for six. 

Special Features

As the name suggests, the most useful symbols from this online game are the Wilds, both in the base game and during the free spins feature.

The first feature Miss Wildfire can trigger is the Wildfire feature when log symbols become wild. Wildfire will spread horizontally and vertically to adjacent log symbols, turning them into wild symbols.

Besides, the Miss Wildfire symbol is also a spreading wild, so whenever she appears on the reels, she will trigger the Miss Wildfire feature and awards some Respins. 

When the feature begins, all of the wilds on the reels also start walking 1 reel to the left until they do not have where to go.

You will get respins until all Miss Wildfire symbols drop off the left side of the reels.

Now, there is also another variation of the Miss Wildfire symbol – the Super Miss Wildfire that will perform the same role of burning the log symbols, and turning them into wilds!

But, here's the kicker!

All the log symbols will then remain locked in position for the duration of the respins, while Super Miss Wildfire moves across the game grid towards the first reel.

Wait, this is not all!

This alchemy-themed online release also comes with a Free Spins feature that is activated by landing at least 3 bonus symbols. When that occurs, you will get 7 extra spins to start with!

Plus, expect to get up to 4 Miss Wildfire symbols on reel 5 during this feature so you can use many respins with walking wilds and form some impressive combos!

Besides, you will also benefit from symbol upgrades, as whenever a log symbol lands on the reels, it will be collected in a meter standing to the right of the reels.

Every time you fill the meter, you will transform a low-rewarding symbol into a log symbol, while you will also get another Miss Wildfire symbol that will keep the feature going!

Verdict

The creative team at ELK Studios really gave their best when creating this online slot machine, not only when it comes to its theme and graphics, but also while incorporating the special features.

Overall, it is a pretty decent online game with exciting walking Wilds, Respins and Free Spins that will keep punters' attention, but also reward some impressive prizes!

The title offers something innovative, so it is surely worth your try!
