Moirai Blaze

What you have with the Moirai Blaze video slot, a game produced by Iron Dog Studio, is a title based around giving you a magical sense of action and progress as you play through and have chances to win several times on a given spin.

It looks to have almost an anime-type style of animation, and between the background and the gorgeous symbols on the game board, it's particularly visually pleasing. The gameplay is set up for a lot of action on the regular pay table as well as added excitement through the various bonus features.

Format and Layout

The key thing that players will notice upon first looking at this title is that it throws the traditional payline model out the window. Instead, it's all about a cluster-based system. You'll see seven vertical columns and seven horizontal rows in this game for a large, square grid. Along these lines, betting goes from $0.20 at the bottom end to $100 or more at the upper end depending on which casino you're playing at because they can adjust what the maximum available bet happens to be for this title.

To get winning combinations, you'll need to create clusters of five or more matching symbols. These clusters can be created when matching symbols are adjacent to each other either horizontally or vertically. However, only having a match diagonally does not connect the symbols into a cluster.

Exploding Symbols

On the right-hand side of the symbols, you will see one of the Moirai, a type of Greek determination of destiny, in the form of a woman with incredibly long, red hair who is dressed in a sort of light blue with a purple sash. She will hold a counter in front of her, and that counter shows how many symbols have been used total in winning combinations for the given spin.

The reason that this is important is because it helps to trigger the free spins if you get to 100 total. However, as clusters of symbols are collected, they will disappear to allow new symbols to drop down into place from up above. This gives way for new winning combinations, and the process goes on and on until no new clusters can be formed. As such, players have opportunities for lots of wins on the same paid turn.

Wilds and Feature Symbols

The wild symbol is a sort of pink with a golden star in the middle, and it will count as any and all of the non-feature symbols to help players to get extra wins. It can also count as part of multiple clusters at the same time.

The replacer symbol is a bit wider with a deep red color, and it will either turn all symbols in a diagonal cross shape into the same matching symbol, or it will replace all symbols on the screen with another given type to help get extra cluster payouts. During the wild feature, players will always get wilds with this replacer.

The exploder is a golden symbol with a star. It destroys all symbols in a cross pattern whenever no available wins can be had, or it will cause all symbols of a given type to explode. This symbol also always leaves behind a wild whenever it's used, and this clearly helps players to get extra wins that they would have missed otherwise.

Free Spins Bonus Mode

If you get at least 100 total on the Moirai's counter, then you'll be given a set of 15 free spins. During this feature, all of the feature symbols collected on the wide of the reels will be added up on a counter on the side of the game board, and they will all be released on the final spin to give you an enormous chance of winning. Moreover, if you pick up the star powerball symbol during the free spins, it increases the multiplier of the feature by one and gives you a free re-spin.

Overview

The Moirai Blaze slot by Iron Dog Studio is based on a motif from Greek mythology, but most players wouldn't realize that between the graphical presentation and the fact that it does not play into the typical tropes that you often see whenever a game has Greek influences. It's a balanced title from a gameplay perspective since it has a good pay table with strong features, and it's aesthetically pleasing as well.
