When you start playing the Amigo Gaming title, you will have the impression of travelling through an unknown galaxy. Orange spots are flying behind the grid, giving you the notion of flying towards some sort of a star.
The grid is pretty common, reels are coloured in purple, while the edges are made of gold. Each time you press the Spin button, you will hear a familiar soundtrack, just like in a classic pokie machine. I told you that this will be a fun blast from the past, eh?
The Crown is what you will need the most because it acts as an Expanding Wild and substitutes for all regular symbols. There are 2 types of Scatters that appear on the reels. The star Scatter lands on all reels, while the diamond Scatter appears only on reels 1, 3, and 5.
When it comes to regular symbols, as you may suppose, the lucky seven is the top-paying one. The remaining icons would make a delicious fruit salad. Add some grapes, watermelon, lemon, cherries, and a plum, and you will have a healthy snack. Also, there is the clover, which you can use as decoration.
Given the fact that Blazing Crown pokie is a classic slot machine, the rules are as simple as breathing. The 2021 release is played on 5 reels and 3 rows. The Amigo Gaming product benefits from 10 fixed paylines, which pay left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel.
To win a payout, you need 3 matching symbols on a payline. Only lucky seven will also pay for 2 of a kind. You can bet as low as $0.01 and as high as $10 per payline. This means that the betting range goes from $0.10 to $100 per spin. This is a low-volatility pokie with a 5,000x max payout. Blazing Crown RTP is 96.00%.
Since this is an old-school pokie machine, Blazing Crown slot does not come with plenty of features. Some players actually love games with not so many features. I am not one of those blokes but I can respect their choice.
It all comes down to landing payouts, waiting for Scatters, which can pay anywhere on the reels, and landing crown Wilds, which expand when there is a chance to land a payout.
There are two types of Scatters on the reels. Star Scatter appears on all reels and it can pay anywhere. Thanks to the Scatter Pays feature, you do not have to land star Scatters on a payline, just anywhere on the reels. Land at least 3 of them, and you get paid, it’s as simple as that.
If you land all 5 of them, you get 100x the bet. I did not have that much luck with Star Scatters. The most I got was 3 of them. It occurred several times while I tested the game. This means that the biggest win I got from Star Scatters was 20x.
As for diamond Scatters, they appear only on reels 1, 3, and 5. Only when all 3 of them appear on the grid at the same time, do you get paid. In my case, that occurred only twice and it also got me 20x.
Crown Wilds appear only on reels 2, 3, and 4. Each time a Wild lands and there is a possibility to form a payout, it turns into an Expanding Wild. It expands to cover the entire reel. In theory, you can have up to 3 Wild Reels. This occurs only when Wilds appear on all 3 central reels at the same time.
Again, I did not have the pleasure of experiencing 3 Wild Reels. The most I got was 2. This brought me a total payout of around 30x. On the other hand, Wilds appeared often while I tested the game and helped me land a decent number of payouts.
Being an action junkie, classic slot machines are not my cup of tea. I prefer pokies packed with action. Hence, I cannot say that I had plenty of fun testing the Blazing Crown slot.
Sure, it was interesting for a while. I waited for Scatter Pays, Expanding Wilds, and Wild Reels. However, after a while, it gets monotonous.
If it weren’t for regular payouts with Expanding Wilds, I would have stopped testing the 2021 release pretty soon. Don’t get me wrong, Blazing Crown pokie is a perfect game for players who enjoy classic slots and I would recommend it to all of them. If you are like my older brother, this is a slot for you.
In a way, Amigo Gaming developed a slot that reminds me of Starburst. It has Expanding Wilds on central reels, but the difference is that there are no respins. Maybe that would have been a good addition to the story.
I rate Blazing Crown 6.7.
