Flame Busters Review

Flame Busters Reviewed May 18 2017 by Casinogamesonnet.com

Flame Busters is a five-reel, 243-ways slot from Thunderkick. As the name implies, it revolves around firefighters putting out blazes and saving lives.

Only, this isn’t any firefighting angle. It’s a retro slot that’s fashioned as a late 1980s or early 90s video game. Assuming you have nostalgia for this era of gaming, then you’ll definitely want to check out Flame Busters.

Gameplay and Atmosphere

This slot opens with a video-game style screen, where you’re prompted to push the “Start” button to begin playing. This effect is merely arbitrary, but it’s still really cool.

At the foreground, you’ll see three firefighters — one for each row of the 5x3 grid. The five reels are encased by a brick building, with windows serving as holders for each symbol.

During certain wins, the relevant spaces will burst into flames (explained later). The firefighters then hose down the spaces to reveal/save winning symbols. Thunderkick has done an excellent job of creating both the animations and atmosphere for this game.

Symbols include a W (wild), alarm bell, firefighter (saving a kitty), wizard, pirate, robot, goat man, and royals (A through 10). The royals are fashioned to look like coins from an arcade or Nintendo game.

The firefighter with the kitty pays the most at 10x your stake. The W substitutes for all regular symbols to form wins. However, it doesn’t offer any payouts on its own.

Betting options range from €0.10 to €100 per spin. You need only wager €0.10 to activate all 243 ways and play this slot. You can use autoplay to keep the reels spinning automatically for anywhere from 5 to 5,000 spins. Return to player (RTP) for this slot is 96.1%, which is average for an online game.

Flame Busters Slot Special Features

Fire Symbol — This mystery symbol is revealed after being sprayed down by the firefighters. It can be anything except a W or scatter.

Free Spins — You earn free spins when landing three or more alarm bells anywhere on the reels. You’ll receive 10 free games for three bells, 15 for four, and 20 for five.

New Floor — During free spins, you can earn extra spins by getting three alarm bells. When this happens, a new floor/level is unlocked and you receive 2 more free games.

Coin Ignition — Every time that a new floor is unlocked during free spins, the lowest-valued coin turns into a flame for the rest of the bonus.

Fire Drill — Available during the base game, this feature transforms between 1 and 5 of the low wins into a flame.

Final Thoughts on Flame Busters Slot

Thunderkick has put outstanding work into Flame Busters. This slot offers the perfect retro gaming feel along with some interesting features.

Everything from the free spins to fire symbols perfectly exemplify the theme. We also love how you can advance floors/levels in the bonus, just like in an old-school video game.

The max win (5,280x) and RTP (96.1%) aren’t anything to get excited about. But even these potential downsides aren’t that bad in the overall scheme of things.

In summary, Flame Busters will obviously appeal to fans of Nintendo and arcade games. It’ll also satisfy many other types of slots players too.
