Let's hope that nobody is scared of clowns as we take a look at this highly anticipated release. Mega Fire Blaze Big Circus is easy on the eye, with a minimal user interface and detailed symbols. The background features a circus tent alongside a variety of different jackpots that are clearly displayed at the top of the board itself.
This online slot game was created by Rarestone Gaming, a reasonably small provider that does a lot of work with Playtech. While they aren't the biggest of providers, this hasn't diminished the quality of their releases. Some of the titles they have produced in the past include the likes of Diamond Rise, Kings Court: Gem Splash, and the popular Genie Mega Reels.
The standard 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols all make a return in Mega Fire Blaze Big Circus, with the premiums being a monkey, a clown, a trapeze woman, and a strongman. Should five of these premium symbols form a matching combination on a payline, players can be awarded with 2.5x, 3x, 4x, and 6x, respectively.
Wild symbols are represented by a female ringleader, which can replace any other standard symbol in order to create a combination. Scatter symbols are shown as a circus tent and are linked to the bonus mode, which is explained in detail below. There is also a target and cannon, which are again linked to their own bonus feature!
Unusually, the main bonus mode within Mega Fire Blaze Big Circus isn't the free spins mode. Instead, there is a feature known as Mega Fire Blaze Respins, which can be triggered if six or more targets appear on the screen in any position. Should this happen, all of the targets will lock in place before players are taken to a new board that features five additional locked rows. On each target, there can be a fixed value of 1x to 50x the stake size, all of which will be added together and awarded at the end of the round.
Players start this mode with three spins, which will reset if any other symbols drop into play. If this symbol is a target, it will lock in place and represent the value shown. During this mode, there is also the possibility of a clown, a trapeze woman, a strongman, or a cannon landing on the reels. Clown symbols can award the value of 5 sticky symbols before turning into a target. The trapeze woman will collect up to 10 sticky symbol values and then also become a target that displays the total collected value.
A strongman icon will increase the value of up to 10 different targets and then, like the others, will transform into a target. Cannons can appear during the triggering spin or in the bonus mode itself. Should this land, a padlock on the lowest locked row will be removed. When both padlocks are gone, the corresponding row will become active.
There is also the potential for bonuses to be awarded during this mode. If a star icon appears in any position, it will become sticky, and at the end of the round, one of the bonuses from above the board will be awarded. The largest bonus can only be awarded if the curtains are opened during the bonus, which will happen if a minimum of 4 additional rows are unlocked, or all positions on the board are filled.
As previously mentioned, there is also a free spins bonus in Mega Fire Blaze Big Circus, which can be triggered if 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols appear in any position. In addition to awarding 1x, 10x, or 50x the stake size, players will also receive five free spins. During this mode, any matching combination that includes a wild symbol will award double the potential winnings. Mega Fire Blaze Respins can also be triggered, should enough target or cannon symbols land in play.
Mega Fire Blaze is loaded with bonus features and unique mechanics, while also being easy on the eye. In addition to this, every element of the slot follows the circus theme, allowing players to become fully immersed in the action!
