The Ultimate Fire Link Slot Bonuses and Features
Ultimate Fire Link slots are faced-paced, progressive games built on excitement. The fire-linked bonus is the main attraction point in this series, with a lock and spin feature that promises great rewards, but more on this shortly. Housed in Bally’s Alpha Wave Pro cabinet, just like we saw on the Willy Wonka Dream Factory slot, graphics and visuals are punchy, with action-packed animations and an excellent sound system. But enough about that, let’s get straight into the game and what you can expect.
The games themselves are 5-reel video slots, with 10 (only available at $1), 20 (only available at a nickel or 10 cents) or 50 (only available at a penny or cent) pay lines available. The aim is to achieve winning combinations which can land simple credit payouts, or grant the bonus and progressive jackpot features. The base symbols for each game vary and are based around the theme, for example China Street has base symbols including a Chinese Cracker and a Chinese Lantern. I won’t explain each of these for each version of the series as you can easily find that on the rules of each slot. The features you’ll be aiming for in this slot are the Fire Link Feature and the Free Games Bonus, so let’s take a look at these in more detail.
Fire Link Feature. This is triggered by 4 or more scattered fireball symbols anywhere on the screen. You start with 4 unlocked rows, if triggered by 4-7 fireball symbols, or 5 unlocked rows if triggered by 8-10 symbols. 3 spins are awarded in each case. All the fireball symbols lock in place for the whole feature, while other positions spin independently. If an additional fireball appears, that will also lock in place, and will reset the number of spins remaining back to 3. Collecting the indicated number of additional fireballs in unlocked rows unlocks that additional row, with a maximum of 8 rows available.
These fireball symbols can award either credit values ranging from 50 to 5000 times the bet per line, or Mini, Minor, Major or Mega (only appears on 2 reels per feature) jackpots. The chance of winning these jackpots increases with higher bets, and are paid at the end of the feature. The feature ends when no spins remain, or all 40 positions are locked, with the player receiving the award displayed on each fireball. The feature uses a separate set of reels, and the Free Games symbol is unavailable.
Free Games Bonus. If 3 scattered Free Games symbols appears on reels 2, 3 and 4, this bonus is activated and 10 free games and 2x total bet are awarded. An alternate set of reels is used during this bonus, but the winning combinations are the same. The fireball symbol is unavailable. Additional free games can be awarded and will be added to your current number.
Conclusion
Ultimate Fire Link Series slots are a lot of fun, and very simple to play. The real aim of course if the Fire Link Feature, which can offer some huge jackpot rewards. But I think what else makes this game is that it’s fun, it’s fast paced and has cool animations. The different variations also mean there should be a theme suited to everyone, so why not give it a go?
