Incinerator Slot

On the official website of "Yggdrasil Gaming" there is a banner saying "We are not the bigger ... But the best", a thought that as a player I fully share because I believe that software produced by this company is high quality and not coincidentally they were winners of “EGR B2B Awards 2015”. Hence, during the month of January this year Yggdrasil launched one of their latest games called "Incinerator", which is a slot with a structure of 5 columns x 3 rows of collapsing type where the reels do not rotate but symbols drop from the top; normally this type of slots have a paytable rather modest since during the same turn a new set of symbols fall to fill the spaces left by previous symbols involved in the formation of some combination and thus make possible new hits; Incinerator rates follow this kind of rule, but its first strength can be seen precisely on the paytable, where unlike slots of the same nature, on this game they are only 6 symbols and this fact increases our chances to form some combination, in addition there are no scatter symbols, so hit average is enriched and consequently it is easier to get multiple hits in a row, which is very important on this video slot since its main special feature depends entirely on this.

Precisely the special feature of "Incinerator" is product of the creative capacity of Yggdrasil, since, as far as I know, this feature is unmatched in the industry of video slots, its name is "Wild Pattern" and it’s triggered by obtaining 3 consecutive wins during a single turn; so, on the left side of the slot we can see a box within which there is a 5 x 3 grid as the main slot, on it they appear patterns of illuminated symbols that change for each new game, then when feature is triggered in our main slot, wild symbols appear on the same position occupied by symbols lit on that grid, then a re-spin happens and voila. The magic of this game is that there are two groups of patterns, the first one has 10 patterns and the second 6, they are 16 in total, but the difference is that the second group has wilds aligned in such a way that guarantee the simultaneous formation of 3, 4 or 5 combinations of 5 of a kind, which in our language is called a "big win".

Unlike what one might think, the "Wild Pattern" feature happens in a fluid way throughout our playtime, we simply must have patience during the base game and wait for the hits to happen, in the long run this game usually performs well and the feature set makes it an incredibly fun slot, it is a game you should not miss.

Incinerator is the newest game from Yggdrasil software and since I really enjoyed Nirvana slot, which was released two months ago, I was actually quite intrigued. I saw this game at Casino Room and made a deposit of 30€ to explore it.

The game starts with a really interesting cosmic intro and the design for it is very futuristic, I couldn't tell what exactly the symbols are, but they were colorful and interesting. What I noticed right away was that there was a pattern window on the left side and when I got the feature with it, I thought it was really interesting. It is a wild pattern feature and I like that it is really simple- the pattern in the window changes for every spin, but when you get 3 consecutive winnings (winning symbols disappear and new ones come) then wild symbols cover the pattern places. It is really easy to get this feature and it gives regular, decent winnings of 10x-20x bet. It has 20 paylines and minimum bets are 0.20€ per spin and that is the bet I played with all session. I played around 1000 spins on this game and only once I hit a 50x bet win, when the wilds were covering most part of the screen.

Even though I am all for simplicity and I love simple slots, I really missed the fact that this slot has no actual free spins or bonus round, there is only the base game with wild pattern. Since the wild pattern is the most important thing in this slot, I would have liked to see free spins with it, it would make this slot more appealing to me. But from the other side, I like that this game can be set on autoplay and you can just come and check your winnings once in a while, as there is no bonus you need to click on.

Overall I did have a good time and within more than 1000 spins I managed to increase my bankroll for few euros, so I think I wouldn't play this game on a regular basis, but I would use it for wagering bonuses. I think this game looks good and has decent winning potential, but I think it would be very hard to hit some big winnings, as my best win yet is 50x and as there is no bonus round with some multiplier.
