Firekick MultiMax Review

Yggdrasil’s Multimax series started in 2020, with the release of MultiFly, and Firekick. MultiMax is close to being a pure reskin job. It’s obviously meant to take advantage of the football fever that will surely spread across the globe when the Fifa World Cup kicks off on the 20th of November 2022. The 5x3 grid is placed above the pitch in a jam-packed stadium, and you get the bird’s eye view of a fan high up on the stand.

The footballer symbols are generic, but there might be some similarities to certain famous players if you pay close attention. You get avalanche wins that generate a wild that again increases the relevant reel multiplier, and the reel multipliers never reset in the bonus round. What’s brand new in this release is the bonus buy option, but you get fewer free spins from 3 scatters unless you gamble for more.

MultiMax Slot Features

The 5 football player premium symbols pay between 2 and 4 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. Winning symbols are removed via the Avalanche mechanic, and replaced by new and/or existing symbols dropping down to fill the gaps. This process repeats as long as you keep winning, and a Wild symbol is added in an empty position per Avalanche win.

Each reel comes with a multiplier above it, and it starts at x1 for each reel. The added wild increases the multiplier on the relevant reel by +1, and wild symbols also step in for pay symbols to help complete winning lines. The reel multipliers will boost any win the relevant reel or reels are a part of, and the multipliers take turns multiplying the win if more than one is involved.

Everything resets between paid base game spins.

The Bonus Round triggers from 3, 4 or 5 scatters in view, and this gives you 6, 8 or 10 free spins, respectively. You can gamble for more free spins if you wish, and the gamble feature is a penalty shoot-out where you get to pick which corner to aim for. You can get up to 11 free spins from the gamble round, but you also risk losing the whole bonus round from a single failed shot.

That being said, there is a chance that a losing gamble pick is turned into a winner, and this happens via the randomly triggered Firekick feature. The big and only difference from the base game, is that the reel multipliers never reset as long as the bonus round lasts. A Bonus Buy option has been included this time, at least for non-UK players, and you can purchase 6 free spins for 70x your stake. You can still gamble for more spins, if you dare.

The 200 Spins Firekick. MultiMax Slot Experience

You get to see the reel multipliers in action in the base game, before we purchase the bonus round at 0:38 into the 2:27-minute highlights video. We decided to not take our chances in the penalty shoot-out gamble feature, so 6 free spins is what we got.

Review Summary

There are a couple of reasons to choose Firekick. MultiMax over the original MultiFly release, so let’s start with the most obvious one. The FIFA World Cup in Qatar starts late November 2022, and this is obviously Yggdrasil’s contribution in that regard. Players who are into football might appreciate the stadium atmosphere you get in Firekick. MultiMax, and the audiovisuals are decently done without being anything too special either.

The reel multiplier feature does its thing just as well in this installment as in the original, and a bonus buy option has now been included for players in certain jurisdictions (not UK for sure). The 10,000x potential remains the same, and tension builds when the reel multipliers only keep building in the bonus round.

However, you get only 6 free spins from 3 scatters in this version, while MultiFly gives you 10. Perhaps a pure reskin job would’ve been a better choice, and overall we prefer the original despite being football fans.

Pros

• Avalanche awards wild that increases reel multiplier
• FS w/ gamble option and non-resetting reel multipliers
• Pay 70x for 6 FS Bonus Buy option (not UK)
• Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

• Reskin of MultiFly (w/ less FS for 3 scatters)
• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
