Fireworks Frenzy

No matter where you're from in the world, chances are that your culture has some type of tradition that centers around some type of fireworks. The Fireworks Frenzy slot, available at Eyecon online casinos, is based on an Asian tradition of these fun devices, but it's subtle enough that virtually anyone will be able to identify with it. As you might expect from a game with this type of motif, the visual appeal is strong with a lot of fun things to look at, but the gameplay is strong as well with a feature set that promotes and exciting experience.

Game Layout

The paylines in this game are not listed out on the sides of the reels like they are in a lot of slots, but there is a maximum of 25 of them. You'll want to keep that number up at 25 to maximize the return to player percentage in this game; otherwise, you'll be looking at worse payouts overall. You'll also get to pick from how much you want to wager on each individual line, and that goes from $0.01 to $0.50, putting the total betting spread at $0.25 to $12.50. The maximum bet here is a little on the low side, but it'll only affect a small number of players.

Wild Multiplier Wheel Symbols

Wheel fireworks shoot sparks out in four directions at an angle, and that causes them to spin very quickly and completely light up an area. Your account balance is going to be lit up when you get the green and gold wheel fireworks symbol in this game because it's a wild multiplier. It only makes an appearance on the first, third and fifth reels, so you can't get combinations that consist of just wilds. However, all winning combinations that include at least one of these wilds will have their payout multiplied by a factor of three, so you can end up with some pretty strong wins as a result of this symbol anyway.

Firefrackers Free Spins Mode

The long string of red firecrackers with a dragon symbol at the top is a scattered bonus symbol in this title. It will give you payouts, but it will also give you a set of free turns. Three of them anywhere on the game reels gives you 15 free spins. You can also win 20 of them for four of a kind, and five of a kind rewards you with the maximum of 25 free turns. You can re-trigger this feature up to 15 total times in a row by getting at least three scatters anywhere on the game board.

During this feature, you get some extra value in the form of expanding wilds. The wheel fireworks wild multiplier will always expand when it shows up to cover an entire reel. You can imagine that this increases the value of the free reels substantially since it essentially multiplies the number of wilds that you get by a factor of three.

The payouts for the scattered scatters are 300x for five of a kind times your total bet size. This is like a 7,500x line bet win, making it the best payout in the slot. A 15x prize is yours for four, and you can also pick up 5x for three or 2x for two of a kind. Note that two of a kind only gives a payout and doesn't trigger the free spins mode.

Other Important Payouts

The red and black fireworks gets you 3,000x for five. You can pick up 2,000x for five of the yellow or 1,000x for five of the yellow or pink. All four of these fireworks symbols pay for just two of a kind or more, and that increases the hit-rate quite a bit.

The card rank symbols pay in three tiers. The yellow A and blue K will get you 500x for five of a kind on an activated payline. The win is 200x for five of the red Q or cyan J, and the green 10 and purple 9 each give you 100x when you lineup five.

Overview

Most people love fireworks, and that makes Fireworks Frenzy by Eyecon a game that a lot of players might like just based on that. However, their gameplay is very strong here as well with some good features and a pay table based on giving players chances for big payouts. It's a food fit for the theme in general, but the graphics are a little on the average side, which is somewhat of a drag.
