Volcano Riches Pokie Review
The Polynesian Pacific is everything but pacific: the waters are wildly turbulent; the depths are immense and erupt through hundreds of volcanos. Whatever dangers volcanos present to Polynesians and sailors, for Aussies who play this 5-reel 40-paylines pokie for real money they present incredible opportunities. Go for it in an online casino and win up to $2500 in a base game, score up to $2500 Wild wins, earn 10 free spins with icons paying both ways, and enjoy erupting Wilds that generate up to 5 Wild icons each! Read the rules below and run for Volcano Riches!Gameplay and pokie symbols: All things volcanic
The pokie starts just like an eruption: in a blink of an eye. As soon as you set your total bet between $0.20 and $100 (i.e. from $0.05 to $2.5 per line) 9 regular symbols, a Scatter and 2 Wild symbols start erupting cash and bonuses. Non-feature symbols are large, 4×1 each, and each of 4 portions of the symbol is able to pay out separately. Non-feature symbols award from x4 up to x1000 a line bet or between $10 and $2500 at the maximum line bet of $2.5 (i.e. a $100 total bet). They start paying when you land at least 3 matching regular icons on any payline and do their best when you manage to have 5 matching icons on any payline. Note that all 40 lines are constantly on. In a base mode regular symbols pay from left to right but in a free spin mode they pay both ways!
Wild and Volcano Wild symbols
This video slot features 2 species of Wild symbols, a standard one marked with a WILD sign and a Volcano Wild looking like an erupting volcano and – at the same time – like Pele, a goddess of fire. A Wild symbol substitutes for all regular icons (that is, it does not replace a Volcano Wild or a Scatter) and appears in any position on any reel.
A Volcano Wild feature is as hot as volcanic eruption! Firstly, it substitutes for all regular symbols and a Wild icon (but not for a Scatter). When a Volcano Wild lands on the reels, it erupts like a true volcano and ejects up to 5 Wild symbols on random positions on the reels. In a base mode one Volcano Wild may appear on reel 3 only. It erupts, releases between 1 and 5 Wild icons and triggers a Volcano Wild feature which have an ability to generate up to 4 extra Volcano Wilds each of which has the same wonderful ability: to further erupt and release more Wild symbols.
In a free spin mode there may appear up to 2 Volcano Wilds on reels 2 and 4. These Volcano Wilds are of the same talent as in a base game mode: they erupt and eject up to 5 Wild icons each and also generate up to 4 Volcano Wilds each or up to 8 Volcano Wilds in total.
Both species of Wild pay when you land Wild or Volcano Wild symbols on reels 3, 4 or 5. They have their own paytable and they award depending on the number of Wild icons on the reels, from $100 up to $2500 at the maximum bet of $100. You can only imagine the payouts when Volcano Wilds erupt and start ejecting more and more Wilds. A single spin may generate wins of more than x100 a total bet.
Volcano Scatter: Free spin eruption
A Golden Sun is a Bonus Scatter and, naturally, it triggers free spins. To activate the feature you have to land 3 Bonus Scatters in any positions on reels 2, 3 or 4. If you succeed, 10 free spins are awarded. Free spins are played by special rules. Firstly, in a free spin mode non-feature symbols pay both ways: from utmost left to right and vice versa, from utmost right to left.
This means that a 5-symbol combination will pay twice pursuant to this rule, so all your 5-symbol combinations pay out double winnings. Secondly, free spins are played with Wilds and Volcano Wilds which keep and realize all their immense powers described above, including a Volcano Wild feature. So, a Volcano Wild erupts and ejects up to 5 extra Wilds in a free spin mode.
Free spins are played at the same total bet you select for a base game. During free spins the total bet cannot be changed in any direction, up or down. Place the highest possible bets in a base mode to enjoy full winning potential of free spins that operate with Wilds, erupting Volcano Wilds and regular icons paying both ways.
Note that a Bonus Scatter does not appear on the reels in a free spin mode and therefore a free spin mode cannot be re-triggered. To play another set of 10 free spins you have to land 3 Bonus Scatters on reels 2, 3 or 4 in a base game mode. There is no Buy feature so the only way to spin it for free is to land 3 Bonus Scatters on the reels.
Summary
This 5-reel 40-payline pokie by Quickspin builds upon the theme of Polynesian volcanos, draws immense energy right from the Earth’s entrails and converts it into attractive wins of up to $2500 in a base mode.
