Fire Gnomes Review

It’s alway enjoyable to try any new game from Crazy Tooth Studio, as you know you’re in for something out of the ordinary. Fire Gnomes is far from the most “out there” release we’ve seen from this daring and eccentric developer, however, but it offers a brand new and innovative Big BuildUp™ feature. Basically, wilds, multiplier wilds, and instant prizes pile up on the shelves on either side of the 4x5 grid, and they are unleashed and/or awarded by an activation symbol.

This means that you know you’re waiting for something good when the game enters ‘dead spin mode’, as the prizes and number of wilds/multiplier wilds keep building. The climactic activation spin comes with plenty of gnome animations, and you get even more of that in the bonus round. They roll multiplier bombs onto the grid, boosting/activating cash prizes, as well as 5 different special modifier symbols. Fire Gnomes offers a fun ‘dark fairytale’ world to get lost in for a while, and the 6,787x potential is decent as well.

Fire Gnomes Slot Features

The royal symbols pay 0.2x your stake for 4 of a kind, while the mushroom premium symbols award 0.33x your stake for the same. You get both regular and multiplier wilds in this game, via the Big BuildUp feature, and they both step in for pay symbols to help complete wins as their core function.

The wild multipliers will vary between x2 and x5, and all involved multiplier wilds will boost the relevant win.

The Build-Up Symbols will appear on reels 1 and 4 in the base game, and they are then moved to the shelf spaces seen on the left-hand and right-hand side. Barrel symbols turn into wild and multiplier wild symbols, while Shields turn into Silver or Gold cash prizes. The cash prizes are additive, which means they keep building per shelf they occupy per new symbol added.

The Big BuildUp feature triggers when at least 1 Feature Activation symbol appears anywhere on reels 2 and/or 3. This is how the saved up feature symbols on the shelfs are activated, and it happens via nifty animations. Barrels unleash wilds or multiplier wilds, while the gold and silver prizes are instantly awarded.

The Fire Gnomes Bonus Round triggers from 2 scatters on reels 1 and 4, and positions are assigned with special bonus symbols or credit values as the feature starts.

You get 5 free spins, and at least 1 gnome will roll a bomb onto the grid per spin. The bombs are multipliers that boost/activate the credit prizes, or activate special bonus symbols. The special bonus symbols work as follows:

• Retrigger - increases the number of free spins via the multiplier value, and turns itself into a credit value prize.
• Credit Boost - boosts all activated credit value prizes by the multiplier value.
• Row symbol - boosts all positions on the same row with the multiplier value.
• Column symbol - boosts all positions on the same column with the multiplier value.
• Orthogonal symbol - boosts all positions below, above, and on the sides with the multiplier value.

The Fire Gnomes Bonus Round is finished when you run out of free spins, and all activated positions will then be summed up and awarded as your total win.

Review Summary

Crazy Tooth seldom goes full mainstream with their games, if ever, but Fire Gnomes is at least accessible enough to possibly appeal to most player types. It’s not really as complicated as it may seem at first glance, or when you read about the features. The aim is to rack up as many build-up symbols as possible on the side, and make each of these as lucrative as possible before the activation symbol hits.

This means that you want the highest possible cash prizes, as well as as many barrels per shelf as possible. This can explode the grid into a mayhem of features going off at the same time, which admittedly is entertaining, and the same can be said about the mischievous gnomes doing their thing each time. Turbo mode spares you the animations, if you so desire, and the bonus round comes with plenty of special symbols.

The 6,787x potential is solid as well, and Fire Gnomes takes you into a quirky and action-packed world that will entertain you for a while.

Pros

• Prize, wilds, & multiplier wilds BuildUp symbols
