9 Masks of Fire
The Wombat says: It’s time for another African adventure! Get ready to hunt down the red-hot Bonus Round in the 9 Masks Of Fire Slot from Microgaming; it’s got 30 Free Spins plus a x3 multiplier and seemingly endless re-triggers.
Microgaming have developed quite a few games with smaller studios of late, such as the Arena of Gold slot from All 41 Studio. This mask game was developed by Gameburger Studios.
Look and Feel
The fiery reels in this game are edged with gold, while the backdrop to your game play is made up of hues of reds and browns – all good Seregenti stuff. Meanwhile the soundtrack to your spins, with its tribal drums, will transport you those dusty plains before you know it!
Overall the graphics in 9 Masks of Fire slot are simple, but well done – classic fruit machine style with a touch of tribal Africa thrown in for good measure. We´d go as far as to say that this game is as pretty as the Cygnus slot from ELK Studios. Praise indeed!
Let´s face it, Microgaming have some history in this area (Mega Moolah being an example). I guess that figures, seeing as the founder of Microgaming was a South African guy from Durban: Martin Moshal.
9 Masks of Fire Slot Game Play
9 Masks of Fire slot has 3 rows, 5 reels and 20 pay-lines. Just like the Riviera Star slot then, from Microgaming and Fantasma Games, but with fewer tuxedos.
Your symbols on the reels include: a red and gold triple lucky 7 as your highest paying icon (land 5x of these and you’ll be bagging 37.5 x your stake Wombat fans), a single lucky 7, a double 7, some dollar signs, traditional golden bells, the BAR icon and those fruit machine favourites, the juicy cherries.
Your Wild symbol in the game is the shiny blue diamond icon – and it will do the usual job of substituting for all other symbols on the reels to make more winning combos for you. Land 5x of the cheeky Wilds on a pay-line and you’ll scoop a chunky earner of 125 x your bet.
The gold and blue mask is the one to watch out for though – and the more of these tribal masks you land on the reels, the bigger your cash win: landing 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x or 9x of mask icons will get you 1, 5, 15, 40, 100, 500 or 2,000 times your total stake.
Hence the title ‘ 9 Masks of Fire’!
On left of the reels and you’ll see the mask-o-meter telling you how much cash you’ll be scooping on any given spin. Nice one!
The Bonus symbol in this slot is the crossed spear and shield icon.
