Inferno Fireballs: Running Wins Slot Review

Did I ever tell you the story about my roommate who got Deep Heat on his scrotum? True story! I was living in a university residence at the time, and we were always playing pranks on each other. 🤡

One of the guys – I can’t remember who, else I’d name and shame – found a tube of Deep Heat and squeezed the entire thing into the palm of his hand. 🧴

My roomie was in the shower, so Anthony (I’m picking a name here) slowly crept up to the stall, threw back the shower curtain, and egg-flipped my poor, unsuspecting mate. 🔥🥚🥚

He now had to deal with the shock of the ambush, the painful smack to the nuts, and then a few moments later, the burning sensation that saw his sack turn puce! Ah, good times. 🍳

Balls of fire, or shall we call them spheres, also feature in the aptly-titled Inferno Fireballs: Running Wins slot from Fugaso.

Gameplay

I was skim-reading over the facts and stats of Inferno Fireballs: Running Wins slot before firing up the game, and when I did, I was a bit taken aback.

The game promises to be feature-rich, but the design doesn’t hint at the coming awesomeness at all. What you get is a fruit slot with a blue, patterned background and a 3x3 grid. Mkaaay.

The upshot is that the game translates amazingly to cellphone screens – at least in portrait mode.

The 777 Wild replaces all symbols other than Bonus or Super Bonus symbols, and landing 3 Wilds pays 50x your bet. Landing 3 of some other symbols also pays handsomely:

• 3 Bars = 30x your bet
• 3 Bells = 20x
• 3 Watermelons and Grapes = 16x
• 3 Oranges, Plums, or Lemons = 4x
• 3 Cherries = 1x

You’ll see Jackpots listed above the grid, and these are the Mini (25x your bet), Minor (50x), Major (150x), or Grand Jackpot (1,000x your bet).

We have much to get through in the Features section, so let’s quickly run through the stats and move on.

• PaylinesPaylines are preset lines that run across the reels, and when you land matching symbols on them, that will result in a payout. The more paylines, the more ways you can win, but also the higher your bet per spin.: 5
• RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
  
  RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.: 96%
• Max Multiplier: 6,500x
• Max Win: $195,000
• Volatility RateSlot games can have low, medium, high, or extremely high volatility rates (or a combination thereof).
  
  The less volatile the game, the more often it should pay out, but the lower the amount, the less the payout, as this is in keeping with the risk you’re taking. Volatility rate should be considered in conjunction with a game’s RTP.: High
• Currency Limitations: No Japanese yen

Features

RUNNING WINS:

Landing 3 Bonus symbols (these look like balls of fire) simultaneously is your entry ticket to the Running Wins feature. There are 2 different types of Bonus symbols – a regular one and a Super Bonus symbol – but any combination of these will trigger the round.

Regular Bonus symbols only pay during the Running Wins feature. Super Bonus symbols help to trigger the Fireballs subfeature from within Running Wins.

The only way to tell the 2 symbols apart is that Regular Bonus symbols land on reels 1 or 3, whereas Super Bonus symbols only land on reel 2.

Running Wins starts with 3 re-spins and only Bonus symbols land on the reels. When they do, they’ll reset the spin counter, and the feature ends when you run out of spins.

The Bonus symbols display cash values, which will be tallied up and paid out at the end.

Fireballs Subfeature:

Super Bonus symbols that land during the Running Wins game initiate the Fireballs Subfeature and become sticky. They’ll collect the values of all visible Bonus symbols and those of the Jackpot symbols, and this final, accumulated amount will be paid to you.

METEOR STRIKE FEATURE:

You could randomly activate the Meteor Strike feature at any point in the base game, and all you need is to have a Bonus or Super Bonus symbol hit. The consequence of triggering this feature is that it will initiate the Running Wins game.

Performance

I have nothing to report here; Inferno Fireballs: Running Wins slot did its thing without any issues.

Maximum Win

Bearing in mind that the volatility rate of Inferno Fireballs: Running Wins slot is high, you’d expect the top payout to be in the region of 200k to 250k. And it almost reaches the lesser of the two; it’s $195,000.

The max multiplier tips the scales at 6,500x, and betting ranges from $0.10 to $30.

Conclusion

She’s not a looker, but Inferno Fireballs: Running Wins slot at least brings some uniqueness to the party, such as offering a subfeature within the Running Wins round.

I would’ve preferred it if the Bonus symbols were more clearly distinguished from each other, but ultimately, this won’t affect the features and how they play out.

Inferno Fireballs: Running Wins slot is a decent enough game, and the stats are fair. Is it worth a squirt? Sure, why not?
