Volatile Slot

Although at first glance we can’t certainly say which volatility level it is about, can we come to the conclusion that this is a high volatility title? In case it is, is it as much volatile that it needs to be advertised & promoted?

The product of cooperation between Microgaming and Golden Rock Studios, Volatile Slot represents one of few titles where the provider has opted to sacrifice both aesthetics and content to emphasize winning potential.

Specifically designed for all of you who are addicted to adrenaline, this title features 5 reels and 10 pay lines present inside.

Released on November 2019, this installment allows you to test your luck by spinning these reels on mobile devices too.

Has the big-name and the newcomer collaboration been fruitful?

Stay tuned and we promise to answer all your questions!

Theme and Symbols

The story is located on an exotic island, somewhere in the archipelagoes of the Southern Pacific.

A stunning view of a volcano at sunset is definitely something that immediately strikes the eye.

Keep in mind that we are in a shaky area and there will be occasional eruptions followed by the screen shaking.

In terms of symbols, multi-colored royals are first to strike – these are certainly something we could do without, but we are already used to their presence.

Tribal drum, campfire, shrine and native girl are the high-value symbols, where the last is the most valuable awarding 40x the bet for 5 of a kind landed.

Also, there are 2 types of wilds implemented – volcano wild that acts as a standard substitute and exploding wild which brings multipliers.

User Interface and Betting Options

So far, we haven’t noticed any major surprise or deviation from other modern titles, that would justify the announcement of this one-armed bandit.

On the positive side:

Begin the evacuation, the eruption of unexpected is about to start.

Place your bets in the 0.10 to 100 coins range and let’s spin these reels.

Available autoplay options allow you to choose between 10 and 100 auto spins, while the menu and settings buttons are placed in the lower-left corner of the screen.

The thing that we have eagerly anticipating for all this time is the maximum win set on 26.500x which is giving you more than enough reasons to give this title a chance.

With the RTP set on 96.10%, we can honestly say that we are positively surprised.

So...

...we weren’t deceived by provider’s marketing tricks – it is a highly volatile slot...

...but does this title meet the minimum of content to be considered deserving of your spin?

Let’s check it out!

Features

Wilds

As we already stated in the lines above, there are 2 types of wilds available.

• Volcanic Wilds - regular wilds that can be found in the middle 3 reels. These will replace any of the regular symbols in order to form a winning combination
• Exploding Wilds – occasionally Volcanic Wilds will explode and award x2, x3, x4 bet multiplier

And this is great, because...

...you can get the maximum 64x the bet by landing 3 exploding wilds. Not bad at all, right?

Free Spins

Although, there is no exclusive scatter symbol, this feature is available, too.

Land 3 wilds and you will trigger this feature that will award 10 spins free of charge.

If u succeed to land 3 more wilds during the first phase you will be awarded 10 additional free spins.

Our Take

So the eruption ended, but has it been a natural disaster or have we pulled through without consequences?

Our stay on this tropical island has truly passed without negative impressions. Even though the creator’s graphics department intentionally didn’t provide everything they could, Volatile Slot visually meets the criteria...

...all of us less demanding in this regard.

Since there is an incredible maximum win followed by a decent RTP, we can freely say that this title justifies the given name.

Mind that, in slots like this, on the one hand you have nothing to lose if you spin the reels some time, and on the other hand you can gain a lot...
