Flaming Dice

I don't remember coming across Euro Games Technology before so I wasn't sure what to expect from this game. It looks pretty average when you first load it up with very basic symbols filling the reels but nevertheless I found it strangely charming in some way! I'm not usually a big player of progressive jackpot games but the four jackpots were quite sizable at the time I loaded the game so I figured I would give it a go anyway. I have to say the wins seemed quite large right away and after checking the paytable later this definitely isn't a game where you are likely to notice a contribution fo your stake is being used to fund the jackpot pool.

There's no specific win for the wild symbols but that's a given as they only appear on the centre most three reels in this game. That being the case the top paying symbol is the "8" dice which pays 25x your stake for a five of a kind, however the stacked wilds should make it possible to win on a very large number of paylines at once. I found myself hitting a whole bunch of multiple winline combinations thanks to all the rest of the symbols being stacked on the reels as well and in fact I had managed to triple my balance within my first 100 spins, which is always an excellent start for any slot!

Overall I did enjoy this game and I'll be keeping an eye out for more games from EGT in the future.

I think the game would have benefited from a free spins or bonus mode - there are scatters on the reels with a maximum payoff of 500x your stake for all five however they don't award anything other than the coin win.

The bars at each side of the reels seem to indicate it is possible to change between 1, 10, 20, 30 or 40 fixed lines but I couldn't find any option to change this setting and the games instructions don't mention what these are actually for either so I'm a little stumped on that one!

The sound is quite basic, I guess it goes with the style of the game but surely it could have been a little better. Everything from the reel stop sound effect to the win sounds feel a little cheap and nasty but I guess there will be some who find these sounds nostalgic.
