Mega Fire Blaze Big Circus Slot - Reel Screen

The actions take place across a standard 5x3 reel setup producing 30 ways to play on each spin, and players drop in by setting bets from $0.1 to $500 per spin. The volatility is in the medium range, while the RTP is well above average at 96.37%. However, keep in mind that Mega Fire Blaze Big Circus comes with ranging payback values, and you can get a lower return rate of 95.42% depending on where you play.

Thus, be sure to check the paytables before depositing. Anyway, wins should occur fairly often, and speaking of that, players can hope for payouts of up to 2,328x the stake.

You'll need to land from 3 to 5 matching symbols adjacently starting from the leftmost reel to score a payout. The reels are made up of 9 regular symbols that are split into two categories. On the lower side, the pay symbols start with classic A-10 royals, worth 1.6x your bet for 5-of-a-kind wins. The premium lot consists of four circus performers, including in ascending order cycling monkey, clown, trapeze woman, and strongman, which pay from 2.5x to 6x the stake for 5 instances on a winline.

The glorious host is the Wild symbol, which substitutes for any other regular symbols to help you achieve wins, though, it doesn't have any own value and appears only on reels 2 - 5. Additionally, Wild symbols land Stacked on the reels to produce bigger winning opportunities.

Mega Fire Blaze Big Circus - Bonus Features

Central to the gameplay is the Mega Fire Blaze Respins feature, which can be triggered with 6 or more Target and Cannon symbols landing anywhere in view. That awards 3 Respins to begin with, while all triggering Cannon and Target symbols will be locked in place for the remainder of the bonus.

Each target symbol contains a random bet Multiplier value, which can be 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, or 50x, and any new Target symbol also sticks to the reels until the end of the feature. The aim of the Mega Fire Blaze Respins bonus game is to collect as many locked Target symbols as possible to scoop the reward equal to the sum of all Multiplier values in view. As alluded to earlier, players are given 3 Respins to reach success, though, each symbol that locks on the grid resets the Respins counter back to 3.

At the beginning of Mega Fire Blaze Respins, players are taken to a new type of reel set with 5 additional symbol rows added to the top, where the only active symbols are Targets, Cannons, Strongman, Trapeze Woman, and Clown, though, now the premium symbols switch their roles and play into the features, explained below:

• Clown - awards up to 5 held Target symbols and then transforms into a Target.
• Trapeze Woman - collects values of up to 10 held Target symbols in view and transforms into a Target with a value equal to the accumulated Multiplier value.
• Strongman - increases the value of up to 10 held Target symbols in view and transforms into a Target.

Moreover, each of the extra rows contains two padlocks, and the Cannon symbols we mentioned above are key to unlocking new symbol spaces. Any Cannon symbol, both that trigger the feature and land during the feature removes one padlock from the lowest symbol row and transforms into a held Target symbol. When both padlocks are removed, the row will unlock.

Players can also win one of the four fixed jackpots during the Mega Fire Blaze Respins. Look out for Star symbols that can land on any position. At the end of the feature, all held Star icons will transform into either a Mini, Minor, or Major Jackpot, worth 20x, 100x, or 500x the stake respectively. Finally, if all available symbol positions are locked or if 4 extra rows become unlocked, the reels will spin with opened curtains.

Every Respin with the curtains opened can randomly award the Grand Jackpot prize, which is worth 2,000x your bet.

Mega Fire Blaze Big Circus Slot - Free SpinsThere's also a Free Spins feature included in the Mega Fire Blaze Big Circus slot, and you can 5 free games by landing 3, 4, and 5 Scatter symbols anywhere in view during the base game, as well as scoop a payout of 1x, 10x, and 50x respectively. During the bonus, whenever a Wild symbol contributes to a win, it doubles the win value. Retriggers are possible, with 3 - 5 Scatters giving +5 extra spins. Finally, Target and Cannon symbols are available during the free games, so you can access the Mega Fire Blaze Respins, rack up riches, and get back to Free Spins.
