Fire Toad slot summary
Fire Toad slot by Play'n Go is a simple yet colourful game, based in the jungle where these little amphibians hail from. To that end we have soft tribal pipe music as we play and translucent reels over a contrasting background of a lake by a volcano. Evolution comes into play here and funnily enough the bonus tips its hat to Netent's Evolution slot and luckily it's nothing like that silly old game from Play'n Go, Mr Toad slot or Red Tiger's oriental-themed Golden Toad slot. So can these toads hop some money over to our bankroll or will it be consumed in the lava here?
On the reels...
There are 5 reels of 4 rows here on Fire Toad slot with no pay lines as there's 1024-ways to win. The 5-of-a-kind pays are therefore low due to stacked symbols appearing and are: Fire Toad 5x bet, Orange or Green Toad 1.2x, Blue or Purple Toad 1x with four card suits all at 0.5x for every full way of 5. These 5 Toads are all arranged in sizes from big in the case of the top-paying Fire Toad, to small tadpole-sized in the case of the Blue and lowest Toad. You can get Wild/Scatters on all reels in the form of Fireflies and need 3 or more for the main feature. However, getting just 2 will upgrade all Toads in view to a randomly-chosen Toad symbol.
Free Games
You get 9 free spins for 3 Firefly Wild/scatters in view with +3 spins for each of the fourth and fifth scatters if you get more than the 3. There are extra spins for 3 or more scatters during the bonus, with a spin added for each therefore 3-5 extra when this occurs. This is vital as retriggers upgrade the Toads in order. You get the first upgrade included, so the first 2 of the 5 toads above the reels will be the same. Retrigger, and then 3 of the 5 Toads will be of the third-highest one, retrigger again and 4 of the 5 will be the second-highest Toad and finally after the third retrigger, all Toads on the reels will have evolved to the top 5x bet Fire Toad, and any further retriggers will simply just add extra spins. We are told, as usual, that 5,000x bet is possible here.
Our View...
Fire Toad slot has a RTP of 96.25% and isn't a bad game due to the frequency of the free spins, which makes up for the paucity of decent wins in the base game. It's not bad to look at, gentle and colourful to play for longer periods which is always a positive where slots are concerned. the free games are hit-and-miss but you'll be very unlucky not to see at least one retrigger and feature upgrade during the bonus. When fully evolved, the top symbols can appear stacked 4-high so technically a near-full screen could occur which is presumably how the maximum pay would be achieved. I say see if evolution works for you too...
