Wildfire Wins Extreme Slot Review

Wildfire Wins Extreme: Slot Overview

When I first loaded Wildfire Wins Extreme from Just For The Win, I could see straight away it shares a lot with the original Wildfire Wins, only wrapped in an electric skin rather than flames. The action plays out on a 5x5 grid with 50 fixed paylines, high volatility and an RTP that can go up to 96.18%. Stakes run from 20 pence to 25 pounds per spin, and the theoretical max win is 10,000 times your bet.

The setup highlights the gaming bits rather than fancy scenery, with the active collection metre on the left and the three Wildfire Wheels sitting to the right of the reels. A punchy funk soundtrack gives the slot a lively feel. On paper, Wildfire Wins Extreme hits quite often, with a hit frequency of 21.78%, yet the big action tends to come from the feature set rather than the base game line wins alone.

Wildfire Wins Extreme Slot Information

In Wildfire Wins Extreme the lower-paying 10 to A royals pull double duty. They pay 0.5 to 1 times the bet for five-of-a-kind and can also land as electrically charged special symbols. These charged versions share the same values but, when they form part of a win, they activate their position on the collection metre to the left of the grid. You still need wins to start on reel one and run along a payline.

The higher-paying symbols stick to classic lucky iconography, with four-leaf clover, horseshoe, seven, bell and diamond symbols paying from 1.2 up to 5 times the stake for five-of-a-kind. Wild symbols appear on all five reels and pay the same as diamonds when forming a line by themselves, while substituting for all regular pays. As a neat touch, any wild can randomly turn all other symbols on its reel wild, which really helps fill the screen.

Wildfire Wins Extreme Slot Features

For me, Wildfire Wins Extreme really comes alive once the features start linking together. The game leans on two main extras carried over from the first release: Wildfire Respins and the Wildfire Wheels. A win that includes at least one special low symbol can kick off the respin sequence, and collecting three bonus symbols during normal spins or respins leads to the three-tier wheel round, which is where the slot’s 10,000x cap most likely lands.

Wildfire Respins in Wildfire Wins Extreme

When Wildfire Respins trigger in Wildfire Wins Extreme, any special royal involved in the triggering win is activated on the collection metre. Every charged symbol of that rank on the reels then turns into a sticky wild, and these wilds stay fixed for the whole respin sequence. Once a rank has been activated, its charged version no longer appears, though ordinary royals of that type can still land and transform. Respins carry on while a win includes at least one remaining special symbol.

Before each respin there is a chance that one sticky wild is upgraded into an x2 wild, so any line win it participates in is doubled. Even when several x2 wilds land in the same win, the total remains at x2, so you are looking for coverage rather than stacked multipliers. If you manage to activate all five royals, you get a final Wildfire Respin where every win is multiplied by either x2, x3, x5 or x10.

Wildfire Wheels in Wildfire Wins Extreme

The Wildfire Wheels in Wildfire Wins Extreme trigger when three bonus symbols land on reels 1, 3 and 5, either in the base game or collected during Wildfire Respins. You begin on wheel level one, which has eight segments: seven cash prizes and a single level-up wedge. Hitting a cash segment pays 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 or 15 times the bet and marks that slice, while landing on the level-up moves you to the next wheel.

Wheel two in Wildfire Wins Extreme works in the same way, only with beefed-up values of 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 25 or 100 times the stake plus one upgrade segment. The third wheel drops the upgrade and carries eight cash prizes worth 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 250 and 10,000 times the bet. If the pointer falls on a marked slice at any stage the feature ends, so every spin feels more tense as the board fills up.

Wildfire Wins Extreme: Slot Verdict

After several sessions on Wildfire Wins Extreme, I came away feeling it is basically Wildfire Wins wired up to an electric grid, with a few key tweaks. The random wild reel expansion and x2 wilds give the respins a bit more punch, while volatility has been nudged from very high to plain high, which suits long play better. The Wildfire Wheels remain quite rare at about 1 in 359 spins, yet they still look like the best route to that 10,000x cap. Just watch for casinos using the lower RTP settings, as the spec comes with adjustable RTP ranges.
