Mega Fire Blaze Wild Pistolero Review

With Wild Pistolero, Playtech's partner studio Rarestone Gaming expands the Mega Fire Blaze slot series and takes players to the Old West for intense cowboy action. It sticks to the similar concept found in previous games in the franchise, including Khonsu God of Moon, Legacy of the Tiger, and Big Circus slots, where the highlight is the Mega Fire Blaze Respins feature with numerous modifiers, expanding reels, and various jackpots worth up to €1,000,000.

Mega Fire Blaze Wild Pistolero - Slot Outlook

Loading the game will transport players to a pretty familiar Wild West environment. The background image showcases an old Western town surrounded by cliffs that we can see in the rear, with wooden buildings on either side of the dusty main road. In the center is sitting a 5x3 reel set producing 30 ways to play, framed with pistol bullets. At the very top are four different jackpot prizes, which are available in the exciting respins bonus game. Rarestone Gaming's team has also crafted an ambient in-theme soundtrack that captures the essential Western vibe and picks up the tempo during bonus features to add a touch of thrill to the gameplay.

Playable on any device, the Mega Fire Blaze Wild Pistolero slot comes with a betting range of €0.1 to €500 per spin, and that should certainly appeal to both high-rollers and less risky players. The volatility is medium, and the RTP is whisker beneath average at 95.96%.

However, lower payback values are also possible due to RTP ranges, and it can be lowered to 88% depending on where you play. Thus, be sure to check the stats before depositing to get a higher return rate.

The symbol collection in the Mega Fire Blaze Wild Pistolero slot is made up of 9 regular symbols that are split into two categories. First is the lower section that comprises classic A-10 royal symbols, worth 1.6x the stake for 5-of-a-kind wins. Next are the four premium symbols, including horses, bankers, women, and cowboys, which pay from 2.5x to 6x your bet when 5 instances appear on a win line. The game's logo is Wild, and it appears on reels 2 - 5 to substitute for any other regular symbols to help you achieve payouts.

Mega Fire Blaze Wild Pistolero - Bonus Features

Central to the gameplay is the Mega Fire Blaze Respins feature, which is triggered when 6 or more Gun Cylinder, 1 Bullet, or 2 Bullet symbols appear anywhere on the reels simultaneously during the base game.

Once triggered, players will proceed to an expanded 7x8x8x8x7 grid, though, the upper rows are initially locked with two padlocks each. To unlock them, players need to land bullets onto the reels - 1 Bullet symbol removes one padlock, and 2 Bullet symbol removes two padlocks. Players get 3 respins to start with, and when a new symbol lands in view, it gets locked in place for the remainder of the bonus, the spins counter is reset back to 3.

Each Gun Cylinder symbol reveals either a bet Multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, or 50x, or a Star icon, which, in turn, transforms into either Mini, Minor, or Major Jackpot prize at the end of the feature, and those are worth 20x, 100x, and 500x the stake respectively. Bullet symbols also transform into Gun Cylinder symbols upon landing, with a prize value of 1x the bet.

A range of bonus symbols are also available during the Mega Fire Blaze Respins feature, which award the following modifiers:

• Cowboy - doubles the value of up to 10 random symbols in view.
• Woman - awards a random Multiplier that will be applied to all symbols on the corresponding row at the end of the feature.
• Banker - awards a spin on the Bonus Wheel.

If 6 or fewer rows are unlocked, the wheel prizes will include either a bet multiplier or a Star icon. If a bet multiplier is revealed, the Banker symbol will transform into a held Gun Cylinder symbol with a value equal to the revealed wheel prize. In case 7 or more rows are unlocked, the wheel will include either a Grand jackpot worth 2,000x the stake or a no prize. After the wheel spins, the Banker symbol will transform into a Gun Cylinder with a 1x value. If all symbol positions are filled with bonus symbols and the Grand jackpot is not yet awarded, the wheel spins up to 3 times.

All other bonus symbols also transform into 1x Gun Cylinder symbols afterward.

The Mega Fire Blaze Respins feature ends when players run out of respins or when the entire grid is filled with bonus symbols and the Grand wheel feature is played. At the end of the bonus game, all held prizes will be awarded to the player.

A Free Spins feature is also included in the Mega Fire Blaze Wild Pistolero slot, and it's triggered whenever 3 or more Saloon Scatter symbols land in any position on any base game spin. That awards 5 spins to start with, and players can win +5 additional free games whenever 3+ Scatters land in view during the feature. Gun Cylinder symbols aren't available in the free games, though, players can still access the respins bonus by landing 6 or more Bullet symbols on the reels.

Mega Fire Blaze Wild Pistolero - Slot Verdict

Wild Pistolero is a decent addition to the series, although the overall concept remains similar to older Mega Fire Blaze games. It's all about the Respins feature here, where most wins come from. The Free Spins, in turn, is quite disappointing, with no perks included.

Instead, bonus symbols are removed from the reels during the feature, which makes it harder to access the Mega Fire Blaze Respins bonus. All up, the gameplay is still fine, much like the outer look, and those into the Western theme will surely appreciate Rarestone Gaming's creation.

Pros

• Impressive Western artwork
• Mega Fire Blaze Respins with expanding reels
• Variety of modifiers and jackpots in the bonus game

Cons

• Lame Free Spins feature
