Fire Toad

Travel to the Hawaiian islands to witness a dramatic volcano eruption on the slot from Play’n GO. Fire Toad is taking you on a volatile journey across five reels with wild scatters as well as symbol upgrades in the base game and free spins that can lead to wins of up to 5,000 times your bet.

Slot Details

Fire Toad is a video slot with five reels, four rows and 1,024 ways to win. Pays are awarded for two to five matching symbols landing on adjacent reels from left to right only. Available on desktop, tablet or mobile, you can bet from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin. The game has medium to high volatility (7/10) with a default RTP of 96.20%. Beware, Play’n GO slots are offered with alternative lower RTPS settings at 94.20% or 91.20%, always check the help file to find out what version you will be playing.

A erupting volcano is in the background of the semi-translucent game window with lava streams pouring into the open sea with steam gushing towards the blue skyline. A range of toads in various colours and sizes dominate on the reels together with four Hawaiian-style card suits.

The pay symbols start at the low end with card suits – purple spades, yellow clubs, green hearts and blue diamonds – awarding across the board 0.50x your bet for a single six of a kind. They are followed by a number of toads on floating lily pads that increase in size with the payout value – purple, blue, green, orange and blazing red. Hit six across the reels to win 1x to 5x your stake. A firefly acts as the wild and scatter, substituting for all other pay symbols and yielding 50x your bet for six.

Fire Toad Slot Features

Play’n GO is increasingly moving in to compete with Thunderkick for slots with symbol upgrades in the free spins. Connoisseurs will instantly recognize similarities with Pink Elephants and others from the much smaller Thunderkick studio. Well, let’s take a closer look at how that works on this occasion.

One extra feature is separating Fire Toad from the others. It will trigger in the base game when exactly two scatters land on the reels in what we call a teaser spin. It will pick on random Toad symbol in view and upgrade all other lower-value Toad symbols on the reels into the selected Toad. There is no guarantee that it will lead to a winning combination.

Hitting three, four or five scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger the Free Spins feature with 9, 12 and 15 spins respectively. During the feature, the same combinations will retrigger 3, 4 and 5 free spins, no limits. You will start with the lowest-value purple toad already upgraded to blue toad symbols. Every retrigger will further upgrade the toad symbols until you have only fire-blazing red toads, wild scatters and royals on the reels. The maximum you can win in a single feature is 5,000x your bet with odds of that happening at 1:15 million spins.

Final Verdict

Fire Toad is neither the most innovative nor the best slot creation to leave the Play’n GO production studios. It feels like a filler to keep up the release frequency which is now at one per week. Simple in its math and gameplay, it will please fans of slots with symbol upgrades, although not many might be lured away from the likes of Pink Elephants, Dragon Horn and Pink Elephants 2.
