I went to Virgin Games to play Fire Opals. I heard of the new release from one of the online casino forums that I frequent. I was a little skeptical because I don’t have luck on IGT slot games and they don’t seem to pay out much. Also the free spins are generally low. Fire Opal offers 10 free spins so I was a bit more hopeful. I was off to Virgin Casino to check it out.
The game pays right to left and left to right with 720 ways to win. If you’ve ever played Siberian Storm then you know how this works. In fact, Fire Opals is exactly the same game at Siberian Storm with different graphics. I’ve played Fire Horse in the land based casinos and this is just like that. I proceeded with caution.
As soon as I started spinning, I remembered why I don’t like this type of slot. Slots in IGT’s MultiWay Xtra™ series require a least 1 bonus symbol, in this case the fire opal, to land on all 5 reels in order to launch the free spins. That is no easy task and I’ve been known to waste deposit after deposit trying to get it. If I do manage to get the free spins, the win is very minimal.
Anyway, immediately I got 4 fire opals on 4 reels. Of course the 5th didn’t appear. I vowed not to gamble more than £50 toward checking this new game out and it was half gone within 5 minutes. Again, 4 bonus symbols…and again. My bankroll was depleted.
I read something on a forum regarding when to play new slot games. Someone said it’s best to play them after 6 months. I’m not sure if there’s any truth to this but this was not the time for Fire Opals. I would’ve been better off with a real fire opal gem. I think I’ll pass that on to my hubby. Maybe I’ll have better luck.
