Burning Desire slot summary
If you have a ‘burning desire’ to play an old-fashioned slot filled with Bars, diamonds and burning 7s, then you’ll probably be keen to try out this Burning Desire mobile slots title from Microgaming. And before I get fired by my editor for using too many ‘burning desire’ puns, let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Employing Microgaming’s customary 243-ways-to-win system, Burning Desire is a 5 reel slot that is bright, simple, and looks good on a tablet or smartphone.
There are some simple sound FX in play here but I did find the reels glided down a little too smoothly. I like the ‘thud’ of the reels as they come to a stop, and perhaps this is the limitations of a tablet in full effect.
Across the Reels...
On the reels, as stated, are some classic golden bells, diamonds, BAR symbols and burning red sevens – familiar to anyone who’s played a Bally slot in a land-based casino – plus the usual 9-through-Ace icons. The flaming Burning Desire logo acts as the game’s Wild and substitutes for all regular symbols other than the Scatter. It does only appear on reels 2 and 4, but with the 243-ways system can crop up often.
Win up to 15 Free Spins
The Scatter, meanwhile, is the Gold Coin symbol. Three or more triggers 15 free spins with all winnings trebled during the round. They can also be re-triggered, making it a really worthwhile bonus to hit. A 90,000-coin jackpot can be yours during the bonus round.
Quick Spin and Gamble!
As with Microgaming’s other mobile slots, the paytable and bonus descriptions are easy to access with the swipe of a finger, and you can also select a Quick Spin feature, turn the Gamble on or off and choose your coin size and coins per line amounts from simple drop-down menus. I found the Gamble touch button a little small, especially on my smartphone, as it takes up a tiny amount of space on the side of the game-screen, but this shouldn’t worry non-Gamble addicts.
Our View...
For simple graphics, a classic feel and no-nonsense gameplay, Burning Desire is pretty good for those looking for a quick mobile slot fix on the go. And with so many online slots getting mobile makeovers, expect more classic-style slots to emerge. For now, try Microgaming’s money-themed slot Cash Splash which offers one of the few progressive jackpots to be found on mobile devices.
