Phoenix Rises Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Phoenix Rises by PG Soft is a beautifully designed Chinese themed slot with beautiful graphics, a traditional soundtrack, and an enticing multiplier feature that will help you make the most out of your spins!

The game is set on a 5x3 reel grid and offers an impressive 243 Winning Ways, so all you need to do is land 3+ matching symbols on adjacent reels starting on the leftmost reel to win. There is a stunning phoenix Wild symbol in this slot that can substitute for all other symbols (excluding the Scatter) to help you land larger and more frequent winning combinations.

Although phoenix are famous for being reborn from the ashes, the beautiful creatures in this slot come from stunning eggs, 5+ of which trigger the free spins bonus round in Phoenix Rises, with increasing Multipliers and some huge top prizes available.

We’ll look at the bonus features for Phoenix Rises in more detail later in this slot review.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Phoenix Rises takes a surprisingly simple approach to slot design, with a classic reel grid simply filled with purple shades rather than any exciting background. Above the reels you’ll see a stunning phoenix egg on a stand embellished with white and gold wings, while the moon rises in the background giving everything a purple dusk hue.

The game is optimised for mobile and tablet play, so appears in portrait mode even when playing on desktop.

The music, in our opinion, is where Phoenix Rises really stands out. The beautiful and traditional Oriental music playing in the background does a great job of pulling you into the slot and is equally upbeat and relaxing, something we’d happily listen to even away from the world of online slots.

Phoenix Rises RTP & Volatility

Phoenix Rises is a medium volatility slot offering an RTP of 96.7%.

Phoenix Rises Bonus Features

The main bonus feature in Phoenix Rises is the free spins round. Land 5, 6, or 7 egg Scatters anywhere on the reels to trigger 12x free spins. You’ll receive a Multiplier for the duration of the round which increases by +1 for every spin. The starting Multiplier will depend on how many Scatters were used to trigger the feature as follows:

5x Scatters = 1x initial Multiplier
6x Scatters = 2x initial Multiplier
7x Scatters = 3x initial Multiplier

The maximum Multiplier value you can use in Phoenix Rises is x150, so there are some huge top prizes available in this round! There's more; land 5+ additional Scatter symbols during the free spins for an extra 12x free spins.

Conclusion

Overall, we really enjoyed Phoenix Rises. We particularly loved the music used in this slot, and would happily listen to the track even outside the slot universe. Although we thought the graphics were beautiful, we perhaps would have liked a little more detail in the game (particularly in the background), as there was certainly a lot of potential. The game is a mobile-first slot and only plays in portrait mode, so is best enjoyed on your smart device rather than wasted on a desktop.

There are some really impressive top prizes available in Phoenix Rises, although we did feel the game made us wait quite a while between rewards for a medium volatility slot. Perhaps a medium-high ranking would have been more appropriate - at least in our experience!
