Beasts of Fire Maximum (Play'n Go) Slot Demo & Review

If you’ve played Play’n Go’s original Beasts of Fire slot, you’re probably aware of the lore behind the developer’s follow-up to that title. We’re back in a world created by a meteor that struck it many centuries ago. Rather than wiping out life as we know it, it somehow gave all buffalos supernatural powers and turned them into Fire Beasts. Yeah, it’s one of those that requires some imagination to understand, but backstory aside, Beasts of Fire Maximum is essentially a supercharged sequel to the original. It is a 5-reel slot with an initial 576 ways-to-win that can increase to 12,348, a 96.25% RTP, and a maximum win doubled to 50,000x the stake.  

Like the original, Beasts of Fire Maximum uses an expanding reels mechanic. Each time a scatter symbol lands, the rows increase by one position up to a maximum of three. Fully unlocked, that reel configuration provides 12,348 ways to win. On top of that, the free spins trigger once those scatter symbols land, and those spins take place on the unlocked reels. As the bonus game plays out, you can receive additional spins up to 100 by landing scatter symbols.

I’m pretty sure the above will sound appealing to most of you, especially the potential to land up to 50,000x the stake. However, before rushing to an online casino to play this slot, enjoy a few practice spins on the Beasts of Fire Maximum slot demo below.

If you’d never played a slot machine in your life and were asked to guess which animals are the most used for slot themes, I doubt any of you would come out with the buffalo. This animal has been roaming the reels of slots ever since slots even became a thing, and the fact that we have a page dedicated to buffalo-themed games just shows how common developers use the majestic beast as the focus of their slot. Even today, we see new Buffalo slots released regularly, as evidenced by my review of Red Tiger Gaming’s Buffalo Collector just a few days ago. 

In terms of the symbol payouts on Beasts of Fire Maximum, it’s the Fire Beat that tops the rest with a 12x the stake return for a 5-symbol combination. The Bear follows with a 5x top return, while the Mountain Lion delivers payouts of up to 4.5x. The two remaining premium symbols are the Eagle and Black-Footed Feret, which reward up to 4x and 3x, respectively. The smaller payouts will come from playing card symbols, with the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten returning 2.5x, 2x, 1.6x, 1.4x, and 1.2x

Wrapping up this section, the staking options supported on Beasts of Fire maximum range from €0.10 to €100.00 per spin. There are 15 stakes between those two values, which any diehard fan of this provider will know is pretty standard for a Play’n Go slot.

At the start of every base game spin, there are 576 ways to win across 5 reels comprised of 3-4-4-4-3 rows. Winning combinations form when two or more of the Fire Beast symbol or three or more of all other regular symbols line up across the reels from left to right. 


Expanding Reels

Scatter symbols that land anywhere in view will expand all the reels by one position. It’s possible to land up to three scatter symbols, meaning the reels can increase up to three positions to unlock 12,348 ways to win. As you’ll see later, three will also trigger the free spins bonus. 


Charging Fire Beasts

Triggered randomly on any base game spin, this increases the number of Fire Beasts symbols on the reels.

Beasts of Fire Maximum Slot Review Final Thoughts

Beasts of FIre Maximum doesn't break any new ground, but it does pack a punch in terms of its winning potential, especially when compared to the original. This sequel offers the potential to win up to 50,000x the stake, double that of the original. As you’d expect, much of that comes via the free spins bonus, which is played across a fully unlocked reel matrix featuring 12,348 ways to win. How do I rate the slot overall? Well, it’s definitely one of the better Play’n Go slots I've reviewed recently., but it's not what I’d consider one of the developer’s greatest of all time.
