Background
The setting of this red-hot slot game is the volcanic island of Cash-a-Mundo in Hawaii, behind the reel the island can be seen in moonlight towering above a blue sea. From various rocky outcrops of the seafront streams of lava can be seen pushing their way towards the sea, perhaps explaining the clouds of steam that give the backdrop an almost foggy look. To the top of the reel is the game title in blocky, orange font as a looming mountain top climbs above the screen directly behind it. Below the reel is the bet stake which can be changed from NZ$0.10 to NZ$100 along with the information feature and all-important spin button.
The grid itself is made up of 5-reels and 4-rows, a slightly unusual setup for slot games although the symbols feel it well and there are 1,024 ways to win so we won’t question it. The symbols that fill these reels include a Hawaiian themed J-A of Royals that are of lower value, the higher value symbols involve Fire Tadpoles, Young Toads, Toads, Adult Toads and Toad Kings. The butterfly symbols work as both the Scatter and Wild in Fire Toad starting bonus features.
Bonuses
By landing 2 Scatter symbols during the main game players can unlock the symbol evolution feature, which chooses a symbol at random and evolves all symbols of this type up a level. Levels include:
Fire Tadpole
Young Fire Toad
Fire Toad
Adult fire Toad
Fire Toad King
If 3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols are landed in the main game the Free Spins features come into play offering 9, 12 or 15 spins, landing a further 3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols can retrigger this feature unlimited amounts. What’s better is that each retrigger of the free spins feature will also reward players with a symbol evolution.
CasinoNZ Verdict
The visual features on offer at Fire Toad are one of the main reasons playing it is so great, the effort that has gone into designing these fictional amphibians is impressive. Even the island of Cash-a-Mundo immerses players further into the game and it looks great. The bonus features in this slot are essential as without them the payouts are not too exciting, but when they do start playing you are sure to get excited by it.
