Ultra Burn - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

This fun 3-reel slot offers a nostalgic online slot experience, celebrating the days when everything seemed simpler. Ultra Burn may lack the bells and whistles of some other slots but still offers a charming and almost hypnotic play experience.

This is online slot play stripped back to the basics, which makes it easy to set up and get into. The simple rules even make it very easy to anticipate wins as the reels click, spin and eventually settle.

Ultra Burn is a completely portable slot, so you can enjoy playing at home or on the move. Pragmatic Play slots work on all devices, as they are designed using HTML5 technology; in fact, straightforward slots such as this one, with a simple approach to everything, usually look best on a small screen.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Some may choose to label Ultra Burn old-fashioned, but we think it is more deserving of the classic label. Just like the original fruit machines, this game is an easy way to at least see your five a day, even if you don’t manage to eat them!

Great graphics

Just because a slot avoids dramatic themes or storylines doesn’t mean it has to be dull. Ultra Burn avoids this label by miles, with fiery graphics that are seriously engaging and cleverly drawn. The dancing flames visible on the backdrop reflect the slot’s title; however, most of the screen is taken up by the reels, which are huge 3x3 old-style slot squares.

Moving on to the symbols, there is number 7 in all its fire engine red glory; luscious fruits in a great variety of complementing colours; the letter X; a shiny gold star against a red circle background; and a chunky bar symbol in dramatic black and white.

Sound waves

Pressing spin triggers a sound like a coin falling, followed by a ‘whoosh’ as if the wind has caught it and carried it away. Then come the typical reel clicks as your fate for the spin is decided. These are all pretty standard sound effects for a traditional-look slot like this one and they add something to the atmosphere.

More exciting is the change to a more upbeat rhythm to signify a possible win. This change makes for more tension - the intended idea, no doubt - and it does its job. More annoying are the loud and over-long sequences of what we call ‘announcement music’ that heralds a win. Such a fuss may be appropriate for jackpot size swag, but it is the same even for a few coins!

Ultra Burn RTP & volatility

The return to player (RTP) rate of Ultra Burn is a generous 96.62 per cent; however, as the slot is described as high volatility, players may need to wait a while to see any purse-busting riches.

How to play Ultra Burn

Follow this basic guide to get started with Ultra Burn:

1. After loading, look to the bottom of the reels for the slot’s control panel. Check out the bet size display, which is found on the left side of the control panel, and scoot over to the plus and minus icons on either side of the large round spin button. These allow you to increase or decrease your bet size.

2. Toggle the sound on and off using the round button with three horizontal bars.

3. If you would like to try autoplay, you can set limits to see it end when you win or after you spend a certain amount. Just click the button directly under the spin button for details of these and other options.

4. Click on the i symbol to check out the paytables and rules.

5. Try out the game for free, and options such as turbo and quick spin, before playing responsibly for real money.

Bet sizes & paytable wins

There is plenty of scope for people with all budgets in Ultra Burn’s setup. The lowest wager is just 0.05 for each line and the highest is 50. These can be adjusted depending on how many lines you play, with all five setting you back 250.

Payout data

Players are often initially drawn to the top rewards on offer from the lucky 7 symbols, as three on a line pay 100x the stake. This rises to an amazing 500x for a full house. The possibility of a serious windfall is not very likely; however, the prospect adds a lot to what is essentially a pretty plain game.

Ultra Burn is less complicated than many online slots. All icons except the 7 require three matching icons filling consecutive reels to secure a win.

The payouts for three symbols are:

- 350 for the star and the bar symbol
- 140 for the fruit
- 35 for the X

Ultra Burn bonus features

Unfortunately, there are no bonus rounds or other extras to be had here, so the only way to win involves landing three matching symbols in one line on the reels.

Our verdict

Anyone looking for a modern version of what is probably the first popular slot theme will be in their element here. It is hard to pinpoint what makes it so inviting - perhaps it is the simplicity? It is only let down by the slightly annoying tune that plays to announce every win. This is just a little too long to be exciting, which is a shame as it heralds good news.

If you fancy adding something extra to your fruit bowl, along with a scatter bonus option, you could give the Hot to Burn slot a try. Meanwhile, enjoy this taste of nostalgia with a modern touch.
