The Wombat says: We’re not entirely sure what the theme in NextGen’s Flame slot is all about, but we’re guessing it’s something to do with fire. And purple hair and bikini tops.
It’s not as purple as the Heartburst Jackpot slot, but there’s enough here to keep Prince fans happy, that’s for sure. It’s a good looking game.
Why? Well for starters there’s the name. Then Flame Girl with the purple hair that looks like my nan’s blue rinse, plus the flickering flames at the bottom of the reels. Throw in the fact that one of the bonus features is called Spontaneous Combustion and it seems pretty likely that the slot is all about that red hot stuff.
But will this game be ablaze with wins Wombat Fans? Or will it prove itself to be more of a damp squib? Let’s fire up the reels and see!
Look and Feel
Flame slot keeps the visuals basic but they are very effective. We’d say that this game is every bit as pretty as the Platooners Slot from ELK Studios. The background is a simple metallic black with the reels floating free form on top of them.
There’s also a blue flame that rises from the bottom of the screen and covers some of the symbols – it reminds me of my chemistry lessons at Wombat Academy, although our teacher wasn’t as good looking.
It’s still cool though when you load it up next to more traditional slots like Eyecon’s White Wizard slot (mind you, that game has some pretty juicy multipliers, so who’s looking at the graphics? Not me.)

Flame Slot Game Play
The Flame slot has five reels, three rows and twenty paylines. Bets start at 0.15 up to a maximum of 75.00 per spin.
Your symbols on the reels include the card suits; hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades as well as a whole load of shiny flames, teardrops, lightning bolts and leaves.
You’ll also see the Lion, the Wolf and the Eagle on your reels making up your high-value symbols.
The Lion is the most lucrative icon in the slot giving you 250 coins for five on a payline.
The Flame girl is the wild symbol and will replace all other symbols on the reels (bar the Bonus scatter) to give extra chances at making winning combos – but it will only appear on the three middle reels.
Free Spins and Bonus Features
The Flame slot comes with seven randomly triggered mini-features. Yes, that’s right, there are seven of them! And here they are:
Cross Flare
Flames will set off win both ways combinations.
Flare Up
More flames will rise adding wild multipliers from 2x – 10x on your current spin.
Fire Whirl
Any Lion Wolf or Eagle symbols that are covered by flame stuff will instantly pay you out a win of 20 times your bet. Now that’s what we’re talking about!
Live Embers
Yup, you’ve guessed it, even more flames will appear on the reels burning up all the suit symbols on reel 2 and/or reel 3 and/or reel 4 and turning them into Wilds.
Spontaneous Combustion
Those flames turn all low-value icons into high-value symbols to give you bigger wins.
Wild Inferno
When you land one or more wild symbols on the reels, you’ll get a free re-spin (for each wild) with the wilds expanding across the whole reel. Each new wild will also give you another re-spin.
Firestorm
Them lucrative little flames will burn once more combining all wild and bonus symbols on the 3 middle reels and turning them into Wild/Bonus symbols! This will help you to set off the Free Games bonus.
Free Spins
As if that wasn’t enough Wombat Fans, you can set off the Free Spins feature by landing three of the Bonus or Bonus Wild symbols that appear anywhere across the reels. There are fifteen Free Spins for you here with the mini features appearing more frequently during the round to give you some wins if you’re lucky.
Conclusion
This has to be one of the busiest slots we’ve ever played! With those mini features bursting into flames here there and everywhere. However, you could be waiting a while to set off the Free Spins, so you might want to pop the kettle on!
Wombat Score: 4.5/5
This game isn’t available for UK players. Why not try the Flaming Fox slot from Red Tiger Gaming instead?
Players from New Zealand, Canada and Ireland can still play this flaming good game!
