Burning Desire

The Wombat says: ‘Feeling Hot Hot Hot!’ What a great track that is from the Merrymen, that popular calypso band from Barbados.

And that song could easily be the soundtrack to the Burning Desire slot from Games Global (formerly Microgaming ), the people behind the Gold Blitz slot. It’s not, of course. The Merrymen make far too much money in royalties as it is, enough to keep them in Pina Coladas.

This game is devoted to all things burning.

We are treated to some chill-out music that creates a relaxing mood – perhaps to get us in the atmosphere? Barry White anyone?

Are we going to love this slot game? Mrs Wombat had better brace herself, let’s spin the reels of passion and find out.

Burning Desire Slot Game Play

Burning Desire has five reels, three rows and is another one of Games Global’s 243 Ways to Win games like the Football Star slot, which will save you time messing around with pay-lines. Winning combos are created by matching adjacent symbols from left to right on the reels. Simple!

Your symbols on the reels are inspired by the flames of blazing passion, so naturally are the wedding bell, a golden coin, a flashy diamond, a budding rose, the lucky 7, and your standard 9, 10, J, Q, K & A playing cards. These make up the lower-value symbols.

The Wild symbol in the game is the Burning Desire logo and it appears at second and fourth reels only, substituting for all other symbols, except for scatters, of course.

Free Spins

Speaking of Scatters, keep your eyes peeled for the Golden Coin Scatter symbol, Wombat people. This little beauty will set off the Free Spins bonus round if you manage to scoop three or more of them.

The number of Free Spins you’ll be given depends on how many of the cheeky Coin Scatters you bagged in the first place – but you’ll win a standard fifteen Spins whatever you do.

Best of all though is the Free Spins Multiplier, as all the wins during the Bonus round are tripled, PLUS, this feature can be re-triggered, too. This wombat might be falling in love after all…

Gamble Feature

If you are feeling lucky, or just a bit blinded by love for this slot, you can increase your winnings by using the Gamble Feature. After any winning round click on the ‘Gamble’ button and a deck of cards will appear before your eyes.

Guess the correct card colour from either Black or Red to double your winnings. And if you want to go crazy then your win will be multiplied by 4x by picking the right suit from Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds and Spades.

Get it right and you can try your luck again, or bank the cash, but get it wrong and you lose the whole lot. So beware!

This feature may not be available in all jurisdictions

Conclusion

Well, the graphics are a bit basic and look dated compared to some of Games Global’s other titles like the Jurassic Park slot, but it has been around a long time, which must say something.

If you like a non-fussy kind of slot player who enjoys a retro game then this might just fan the flames of desire for you.

We do like the 3x Multiplier in the Free Spins bonus though, as it can rack up the wins in your coffers. Overall Burning Desire is a simple game with some decent pay-outs, and that will have some players swooning.

Wombat Score: 3.3/5

Worth a whirl, it might just capture your heart.
