Miss Wildfire

Enter the laboratory of wacky alchemist Edgar Woodart to witness flames coming to life on the slot from Elk Studios. Miss Wildfire is a lighthearted reel adventure across a 6×4 game grid featuring fire spreading wilds, sticky symbol generating wilds, walking wilds, and a free spins bonus round with symbol upgrades that can lead to wins of up to 5,000 times your bet.

Slot Details

Miss Wildfire is a video slot with six reels, four rows and 466 ways to win. Pays are awarded for three to six matching symbols landing connected on adjacent reels from left to right only. Available for play on desktop, tablet or mobile, you can bet from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. The game has medium volatility (6/10) with an RTP of 96.10% and a hit frequency of roughly 1:4.5 spins.

A view into Edgar Woodart’s alchemy lab is opening up when you load the game with various items scattered on a table in front of the blazing fireplace from where the friendly spirit Miss Wildfire will emerge to bestow wealth and riches onto the failed scientist. She is core to the gameplay together with wooden logs that she will set on fire before transforming them into wilds when she lands on the reels.

The pay symbols start at the low end with the standard log and card royals from 10 through to A, awarding 0.5x to 1.2x your bet for a single six of a kind. They are followed by two geometric icons – blue cones and green cubes – and a red gemstone formation. Hit six across the reels to win 2.5x to 10x your stake. The Log symbol is an extra symbol that will be core to the features and also yields 0.5x your bet for six. A blazing ‘W’ and Miss Wildfire are the wild symbols, performing the usual substitutions duties while a burning lamp icon acts as the bonus scatter. Having six wilds across the reels will pay the same win as the top symbol.

Miss Wildfire Slot Features

No stranger to out-of-ordinary formats, Elk Studios went for rather strange pay line mechanic on Miss Wildfire that might disappoint some players, especially fans of 4,096 ways games. Instead of the standard ways system for a 6×4 slot, they have chosen an interconnecting mechanic, resulting in only 466 ways. To score a win, you will need matching symbols on three or more reels that connect diagonally or horizontally.

Super Miss Wildfire Walking Wild with sticky Log symbols

Core to the gameplay are the three wild symbols – standard, Miss Wildfire and Super Miss Wildfire. Joining the three wilds are the Log symbols which will be set on fire by any of the three wilds and subsequently will turn into wild symbols. In all cases, the win evaluation is done only after all transformations have concluded. Throughout the respins, any scatter landing on a reel will lock the reel to keep the scatter on the grid. While it removes the opportunity to have more log symbols appearing, it makes it easier to trigger the main event.

• Standard Wild: Spreads a wildfire to adjacent Log symbols which can further extend it to other Log symbols adjacent to them. The spreading path can be either horizontal and/or vertical but not diagonal.
• Miss Wildfire – red hue: Triggers the Walking feature with free respins. Miss Wildfire will turn into a walking wild, moving to the left by one reel on every respin until she disappears from the grid. She will turn any Log symbols landing horizontally or vertically adjacent to her into wild symbols.
• Super Miss Wildfire – purple hue: Triggers a supercharged Walking feature with free respins. All log symbols landing during the respins will be locked in place until they are used, providing more chances for Miss Wildfire to burn them and turn them into wilds as she moves across the reels.

Hitting three, four, five or six scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger the Free Spins feature with no set amount of spins but with 1, 2, 3 and 4 Miss Wildfire symbols respectively, which will enter the grid on the rightmost reel and move to the left until they disappear. More Miss Wildfire or Super Miss Wildfire can land organically while the feature is in progress.

During the feature, Log symbols are collected in a meter. Filling it up, will consecutively upgrade the card royals to Log symbols, starting with 10s and introduce a new set of Miss Wildfire symbols (same as on the original trigger – 1, 2, 3 or 4) on the last reel. The collection ends once the As have been upgraded. Overall, you will have more Log symbols on the reels, making it easier for Miss Wildfire to set them on fire and turn them into wilds. The round ends when no more Miss Wildfire symbols are on the grid or you reach the maximum win cap of 5,000x bet.

Final Verdict

Miss Wildfire feels and looks like a lighthearted affair with cheerful characters, medium volatility and a high feature frequency. The respins trigger often during the base game, although they do not always lead to substantial wins. Nevertheless, they contribute to the attraction factor and will keep you interested. The bonus round turns suspenseful once you managed to upgrade some of the card royals as the number of Log symbols on the reel strips increases significantly. Overall, another well-designed slot from Elk Studios.
