Fire Blaze: Green Wizard

Green Wizard Review

Green Wizard is a follow-up to the legendary slot released back in 2019 that still remains popular among players. The newer title provides a similar gaming experience, but comes in a much fancier wrap and offers slightly modified gameplay.

Compared to its older brother, Green Wizard looks more fresh and more polished, with top-notch graphics and plenty of animations and special effects. Anyway, the actions take place somewhere in a magical forest, and dominating the view is the magician's house where 5x3 reels are located. The grid expands during the features though producing a bigger number of lines, yet by default only 243 win ways are available.

To start playing, bets of at least €0.1 per spin are required, while the highest stake option goes up to €500, which should appeal to any kind of gambler. The Green Wizard slot comes with bumped-up volatility, which is in the medium-high range, yet offers lower prizes than its predecessor. With that said, all players can hope for is 2,000x the stake. Meanwhile, the default RTP is a whisker beneath the average at 95.9%, so don't expect to get your returns too often. Moreover, the game has RTP ranges, meaning that payback can be different between the casinos, and the other return values are 92% and 94%.

The paytable consists of 9 regular symbols that are divided into two categories, namely high and low. On the lower end, the pay symbols star with A-10 royals, and the premium lot includes in ascending order mushrooms, potions, lanterns, and cats. You need to land at least 3 matching symbols on the reels starting from the leftmost to achieve a payout, and five-of-a-kind wins are worth from 0.3x to 2x your bet. The green wizard himself is the Wild symbol, which appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 to substitute for any other regular symbols in winning combinations.

Green Wizard Slot Features

The Green Wizard slot is a part of the Fire Blaze Classics series, and central to the gameplay here is the Fire Blaze Hold and Respins feature. Magic Balls are cash symbols, which have a random bet multiplier value or a star displayed on them. Cash symbols can appear at any stage on all reels, and when 6 instances land simultaneously in view, the bonus comes into play.

Once activated, the triggering symbols will lock in place for the remainder of the feature, and players will receive 3 respins to start with. When a new Magic Ball symbol lands, it also sticks to the reels and resets the respins counter back to 3. At random, one of the cash symbols can be transformed into Golden Egg, which increases its value by adding 3 other visible cash values. The respins are also reset when Magic Balls are converted into Golden Eggs.

After the respins are complete, all visible cash values in view will be summed up and paid to the player. All Magic Balls with star icons will award a random jackpot prize, either a Mini, Minor, or Major, worth 20x, 100x, and 500x the bet respectively. Finally, filling the entire reels with cash symbols awards an additional Grand Jackpot prize of 2,000x the bet.

Landing 3 or more Scatters simultaneously during the base game triggers 6 Free Spins. During the free games, 1, 2, or 3 middle reels will be highlighted with an animating gold frame, and all Wild symbols that land within the highlighted area claim a 2x Multiplier, which is then applied to all wins the Wild symbol takes part in. If multiple Wild symbols contribute to the same winning combination, then the win will be multiplied by 2x for each participating highlighted reel. Last but not least, Magic Balls will have a higher value if they land on the highlighted reel.

Review Summary

All in all, Green Wizard is a decent slot, which is bound to be enjoyed by fans of its predecessor. It is built on the same features, but also has a few tricks of its own. Yet, it doesn't offer enough innovation to surpass the original title.
