Colt Lightning Firestorm Bonus Features

The available number of pay lines fluctuates from 1,024 in the Base game to 3,125 in the Bonus game. Win ways count exclusively from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. The minimum number of paying symbols needed to bring a win is 2 for Colt pictures and 3 for others.

Wild

This special symbol replaces any paying one within winning combos. The only exceptions are Scatters of all kinds and the Horseshoe symbol. The Wild lands only within 2 — 4 reels. The last thing you should know about it is it's not a paying one.

Horseshoe

This special symbol appears exclusively on the 3rd reel, serving a single role of rolling up the Lightning Blaze feature. It pops up within both the Base and Bonus games.

Lightning Blaze

Once it's started during the Base game, this feature blazes fire frames around 3 — 20 randomly chosen symbols. The next moment, those transform corresponding symbols into a random one picturing an animal. Note that all Fire Frames reveal the same image. The Lightning Blaze triggers just after all the wins of the current spin are credited, helping to increase your chances of extra income thanks to the possibility of getting additional winning combinations. 

Scatter

Three simultaneously landed Firestorm Scatters let one trigger the Firestorm feature. These can fall only within 2 - 4 reels.

Firestorm

This feature provides a chance to trigger one of the following features — the Fortune Strike or Fire Free Spins. Which one would activate depends on random choice.

Fortune Strike

If the Fortune Strike feature has started, the player gets an instant win, which size is random, varying from x5 to x200 to the current bet (x5, x10, x30, x40, x50, x100, x200).

Fire Free Spins

In the case of Free Spins triggered, the gambler obtains 8 starting FS. Also, the play grid expands with one extra row. The latter aspect allows one to take advantage of the maximum number of pay lines (3,125).

Fire Colt

During Free Spins, the Fire Colt symbol replaces the regular Colt. By the way, the first one brings double larger payments. That's why, after the Bonus game started, any imaging horse symbol popping up while Free Spins is ongoing will be picturing exclusively the Fire Colt.

Horseshoe

This special symbol is also present during the bonus Free Spin game for the Lightning Blaze feature activation.

Lightning Belize

During Free Spins, each activation of this feature grants 1 — 4 Fire Frames that are randomly placed all around the screen. Moreover, these stick to that place they popped on until the last Free Spin when they all together unveil an identical animal symbol to bring one a chance at a huge prize and, in this way, supply the perfect finale to this exciting show.

Fire Ball Scatter

Each special symbol of such species landed while a Bonus game is still ongoing grants one additional Free Spin. The maximum number of Free Spins is capped at 46 FS.

Our Experience Playing Colt Lightning Firestorm

To gain practical experience in playing this gamble so that we can unbiasedly evaluate its pros and cons, we made a 300-spin gaming session using a €1 stake. Overall game balance was €200.

The 1st hundred spins granted us as many as 46 base game wins (€0.1 - €9.6), including 24 that appeared smaller than the current bet. Cash prizes were frequent, whereas the biggest gap between consecutive wins consisted of just five spins. The Lighting Blaze feature triggered twice, bringing just €2.5. The Firestorm feature wasn't activated even once. So, after the 100th spin, in our possession was a €183.2 amount.

Per the 2nd hundred spins, we got 31 regular wins, 14 of which appeared lower than the stake. This time, the biggest win was €9.3. Despite the most elongated pause between wins having reached ten spins, this time, we earned much more thanks to Free Spins activated twice. These brought us a total €70.1. Unfortunately, the Lightning Blaze function got nothing. As a result, after 200 spins, we had as much as €209.8.

The final hundred spins pleased us with a single Free Spin round and a Fortune Strike activation. The first one earned us precisely €28.6, whereas the second made just €10. The Lightning Blaze feature earned €26.5 thanks to the five triggerings. Also, there were 39 regular wins, including 19 that appeared to be smaller than the currently chosen stake amount. The largest base game winning was totaling €11.2. So, when all 300 spins were over, our balance was sized at €220.9.

Here are all the statistics about these 300 spins:

To make a brief outline, although Base game wins were frequent, almost half turned less than the bet. The Lightning Blaze feature didn't demonstrate itself as tremendously generous, bringing throughout the all-gaming session only €29. The Firestorm feature, in contrast, thanks to Free Spins and the Fortune Strike bonus round, filled up the balance with a much more solid amount of €108.7. We want to applaud the Bonus games triggering frequency, which, in our case, allowed us to take advantage of 3 Free Spin rounds plus a single Fortune Strike mini-game. Usually, activating several Bonus games allows considerable zooming in the game balance. Sadly, any Free Spin round triggered didn't deliver us a somewhat big win. So, we did not become witnesses to the dizzying growth of the balance.

Colt Lightning Firestorm Verdict

As you can see, there are numerous advantages this video slot boasts, including the mind-blowing max win, which is of the x50,000 size. Moreover, there are as many as two Bonus games here, and the bonus FS round, beloved by many, is among them. Luckily, Free Spins trigger frequently enough to make the playing process fun and somewhat profitable. On top of that, the Base game accesses you to a pair of lucrative features, such as the Wild and Lightning Blaze, which can bring you some extra income.

As for drawbacks, there are not many of them. The most apparent con is the slot's RTP, which varies from 96.2% to 84.2%. And if the first figure is even higher than the average for most currently available slots, the second one is way too low, on the contrary. As you can understand, the higher the 'Return to Player' value, the better your chances of some income. So, ensure you've chosen the most profitable version of this gamble. Another downside we ran into was not that big wins thanks to the Free Spins, which didn't allow us to make much more than just an extra 20 euros on top of the initial €200. Yet, most likely, we were just unlucky. So, we can bet you will be able to win a much bigger cash prize while playing this fiering and feature-jam-packed slot.
