Are you ready for some old-school sorcery? The Playtech 2021 slot titles Fire Blaze Blue Wizard Megaways is all you need. As you can guess from its title, the slot is another addition to the Fire Blaze series and uses the popular Megaways mechanics. It is played on a 5-reel grid where you can win in up to 12,348 ways. The game benefits from Wilds, multipliers, free spins and respins, where you have a chance to win one of four jackpot prizes worth up to 2,000x the stake. The maximum potential win is 10,000x the bet.

The reels are set in a moonlit forest, with the wizard’s cottage seen on the left-hand side of the reels. There is an eerie feel to it due to a haunting soundtrack playing in the background. The reels are home to theme-related icons depicted as the owl, cauldron, book of spells and ring. These pay high-value prizes while low-value icons are represented as playing card royals. The game also features four special symbols we will explain later in this review.

If you want to try your luck at Fire Blaze Blue Wizard Megaways, you have to wager at least $0.10. The maximum stake cannot exceed $250 per spin. Push the Spin button or activate up to 100 autospins or let the Autoplay feature spin the reels for you until the bonus feature hits. Land 3 or more symbols of a kind on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost position to get paid.

While playing the Playtech slot, you won’t benefit from cascade wins. However, the Lightning Wild Multipliers feature can come into play when the lightning bolt icon shows up on the horizontal reel along with Wild on reels 2, 3 or 4. This feature can award a multiplier of 2x, 4x, 8x or 16x.

When 3 or more Castle Scatters hit the reels, you will unlock the Free Games feature that awards 6 free spins. During the feature, symbols spinning horizontally move one position to the left on each spin, so you can get your payouts multiplied by up to 16x.

Another special symbol appearing on the reels is depicted as the crystal ball. If you land 6 of these simultaneously, you will unlock the Fire Blaze Respin feature. The triggering icons will remain in their positions while the rest of the reels will spin for 3 respins. A new crystal ball retriggers the feature.

Within the Fire Blaze Respin feature, you can win one of the four jackpots. If you don’t cover the reels with crystal balls completely, you can win Mini, Minor or Major jackpot. If you fill all the positions with crystal ball or star symbols, you will win the Grand jackpot of 2,000x the stake.

Fire Blaze Blue Wizard Megaways may not be your regular Megaways slot title. Still, it will keep you entertained for a while and provide you with multiple opportunities to win. While the Fire Blaze Respin feature can award fixed jackpots, the largest wins are hidden in the free spins feature. The Playtech 2021 release is a highly volatile slot machine with a solid RTP of 96.48%.
