Phoenix Fever Demo (Fa Chai Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

Whilst many of us may dream of being immortal, in ancient mythology the Phoenix had that very gift and was often seen as a symbol of hope and a better life. Such topics and myths make for a great online slot theme, and in today’s review we’ll be looking at Phoenix Fever from Fa Chai Gaming. This 5-reel game comes with two bonus rounds that can be triggered and a max win of 1,000x the bet.

Theme & Design

In true Fa Chai Gaming style, Phoenix Fever is delivered in a vertical play, something we often see from Asian-focused providers who are more than aware that over 90% of their market are accessing their content from mobile devices. As for the theme itself, we have a mountainous landscape as the backdrop to the game, possibly somewhere in China, whilst an epic audio track plays over the gameplay. Overall, it’s a fairly generic design/theme, but Fa Chai has presented it well.

At this stage, rather than reeling off a number of Phoenix-related games you can play, we’re going to stick with Fa Chai, in case you’re not overly familiar with the brand. So, let’s stick with titles that are relatively new to the provider’s portfolio, which include Treasures of Odin and Sugar Bang Bang 2.

Phoenix Fever Gameplay & Features

Fa Chai Gaming’s Phoenix Fever is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 243 ways to win and an above-average RTP of 96.50%. The gameplay can commence from a minimum of €0.88 a spin, up to a maximum of €880. However, it is likely that these values could vary drastically depending upon which casino you are playing at.

The base game of Phoenix Fever doesn’t offer any modifiers at all, so your best chance of topping up your bankroll will come via a line win, possibly aided by the wild symbols. This does mean that more of the RTP is saved for use in the bonus rounds, so let’s take a look at what these features are.

First up, we’ve got a free spins bonus, triggered when 3 scatter symbols land in view. Once activated, you are awarded 6 spins, and all lower-value royal symbols are removed from the reels. If you land another 3 scatters, 6 additional spins will be added to your total.

The second feature is the Hold & Win round, triggered when 6 or more of the cash values appear in view. This bonus begins with 3 respins, and each time a new cash value or pot lands on the playfield, your spin count resets to 3. Once you hit 3 consecutive losing spins, the bonus will end. As a side note, if all 15 positions on the grid are filled, the Grand Jackpot will be paid.

Bonus Buy

Those of you who wish to skip the base game and head straight to the Hold & Spin round can activate the feature via the bonus buy, for a cost of 45x the bet.
