9 Masks of Fire Slot

9 Masks of Fire review

Microgaming is well known for their collaborations with smaller studios, and along with Gameburger Studios, they now bring us 9 Masks of Fire. This is a quirky African-style slot that I found to be super intriguing, since not only is the design dark and wonderful, the features also work in mysterious ways.

I’d say that 9 Masks of Fire is quite a simplistic slot, but I feel the features it does have are more than enough when it comes to creating excitement. It’s also a medium volatility slot, so you’ll see a nice balance of more frequent low wins paired with less frequent high wins. Read on to learn more about what caught my eye in this slot.

9 Masks of Fire bonus features

There’s a pretty thrilling free spins round in 9 Masks of Fire that could keep your attention… but it’s the scatter symbol, interestingly enough, that is the real money-maker in this game. I will go through how each of the features works so you can get a better idea.

Scatters

If you’re wondering where the “9” in “9 Masks of Fire” comes from, it’s from the scatters. Whenever the mask scatter symbols lands at least three times on the reels, you’ll see a meter on the side start to fill up. Find all nine mask scatters at one time, and you’ll hit the maximum prize of 2,000x your stake.

Free spins

I quite liked the free spins round, since the number of free spins symbols you land on isn’t what determines how many spins you’ll get – it’s a wheel instead. To trigger the round, you do need at least three free spins symbols. You’ll then get to spin a wheel, which could land you anywhere between 10 and 30 free spins, each with a multiplier of 2x or 3x.

If you land another three free spins symbols during the round, you can also retrigger the same amount of free spins you initially won. This is obviously great if you won a higher amount in the first place and not so much if you spun 10, but it’s still not a round to sniff your nose at.

Wilds

The wild symbol in 9 Masks of Fire has the traditional role of substituting for other symbols to help complete your paylines.

9 Masks of Fire jackpot

There isn’t a jackpot in this slot, but as I mentioned earlier, if you hit those nine mask scatter symbols, you could be in for a win of 2,000x your prize.

RTP and volatility

If you love a medium volatility slot, 9 Masks of Fire could be for you. There’s a nice mix of low and frequent wins along with higher and less frequent wins, which definitely keeps the game interesting. The return to player of 95.24% is fairly average, so you could be in for a half decent payout if you’re lucky.
