9 Masks of Fire™ Review
Source: Microgaming and JackpotCity
Microgaming and Gameburger Studios proudly presents 9 Masks of Fire™, an online slots game packed with special features, including escalating Scatter Mask wins with the right symbol combinations. Enjoy the sunrise over the hot African jungle and play to the beat of soulfully rhythmic drums.
Game Theme
Africa has long been of interest to many people across the world, and 9 Masks of Fire™ was created in October 2019 to celebrate the passionate energy of the people of this continent with a bespoke crafted theme, packed with tribal masks and exciting in-game bonus features.
Game And Bet Settings
9 Masks of Fire™ is a 5-reel, 20-payline online slot, available to play on both PC and compatible mobile devices. The game has a medium volatility rate and offers bet sizes that range between a minimum of 0.20 to a maximum of 60 credits per spin, making it perfect for both new and experienced players. The bet sizes, current win and current bet amount can all be found at the bottom of the game screen, together with the spin button. The three horizontal lines to the left (also known as a burger menu), will launch the paytable and an in-depth explanation of the game, as well as extra game setting options.
Symbols And Bonus Features
While theme and game settings are important for great gameplay, it is game mechanics and bonus symbols that can trigger features that players usually look out for when playing online slots, and 9 Masks of Fire™ has enough to keep players entertained! The symbols may not be African, except for the tribal masks (which are key to the game), but they do remind us of 3-reel slots, so it’s great for those players who may want to experience a classic slot feel on a modern-day video slot. These symbols include cherries, bar, bell, dollar sign and a variation of fiery sevens. There is also a diamond, which is the Wild symbol and can substitute for all other symbols, except the Scatter, to complete possible winning combinations.
The Free Spin symbol is also the Scatter, and is symbolised by a shield and two spears. These symbols can only land on reels 2, 3 and 4, and when at least 3 of the Free Spin symbols land anywhere on these reels, players will be taken to a bonus wheel, which they’ll get to spin to be awarded with a number of Free Spins and Multipliers. The spins can range from 10 to 30 while the Multipliers attached to the spins will be 2x or 3x. This means that any winnings that may occur during the Free Spin feature will be doubled or tripled, depending on the Multiplier.
Besides the African nature of the game, the question may be why it’s called 9 Masks of Fire™. Players will notice the numbers between 3 and 9, together with the game logo, to the left of the screen, with a set amount next to each number. This amount is determined by the current bet of the player and will be won should the player land the corresponding number of masks on the reels during a single spin. Land all 9 fiery masks with one spin and the grand total prize will be added to the current winnings.
Software Providers
9 Masks of Fire™ was created by Microgaming, in partnership with 3rd party software provider Gameburger Studios. Microgaming has been around since 1994 and was also behind the launch of the first online casino that same year, while Gameburger Studios is a new, up-and-coming software provider. These two have combined forces before, though, creating other online slots like Hyper Strike™, Break da Bank Again Respin and 9 Pots of Gold™, the latter working on the same mechanics as 9 Masks of Fire™, but with an Irish theme instead.
