Firestar Demo Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Burn, baby, burn!

From the opening screen, you just know you’re in for a real treat - the screen is filled with yellow and orange flames, with the bold Firestar logo picked out in a similar flaming theme. Once you reach the playing screen, you may be surprised by how different it looks from most other online slots games on the market. All the usual slots basics are present, but in iSoftBet's Firestar, they’re given a very high-tech makeover, with cutting-edge graphics that continue the fire theme.

This is no ordinary three-reel or five-reel online slots game. Firestarter boasts an impressive seven reels, although the actual gameplay takes place across the six outer reels, with the central reel reserved for the game’s unique features. Designed to look like a high-tech console, the colourful graphics really pop against a plain black background.

The edges of the screen are picked out in metallic detail, and you get a 3D effect from the way the control panel seems to be set at an angle, featuring big, metallic buttons. All the symbols, including traditional slot machine favourites such as cherries, lemons, bar signs and 7s, feature a dramatic flame effect, echoing the game’s title.

How to play

This six-reel (plus bonus central reel) slots game has an impressive 50 paylines, which are fixed, so there’s no option to decrease them. Symbols are matched from the left or from the right of the playing area. Choose the value of your virtual coins, and select the number of coins you wish to play with, from 1-5, using the Bet buttons at the top of your console. Then press Spin and watch the drama unfold.

Achieving matching symbols across one of the paylines adds to your prize pot, according to the value of the symbols. There’s a Bet Max button which uses the highest coin value and spins the reels for you, as well as an Autoplay feature, which spares you from repeatedly pressing the Spin button with the same wager.

There’s more to this game than just standard slots, though. Keep a look out for icons that appear on the central reel, as they can boost your virtual prize pot. There are multipliers, which, as the name suggests, multiply a win by up to 10 times. Wilds can also appear, which not only substitute for other symbols to create a winning line, but also double your prize. There’s also a free spins icon, offering 10 free spins. The bonus icon triggers a Toxic Waste bonus game, in which you destroy an ice sheet, defeat the ice monster that guards the treasure, and win a virtual cash bonus.
