WAYS OF THE PHOENIX

HOW TO PLAY WAYS OF THE PHOENIX

The reels are set high in the sky and half of the screen is occupied by the Phoenix, while the other half is occupied by the Dragon. The Phoenix is also the highest-paying regular symbol, offering 500 coins for five of a kind. Dragon is also there, as well as Drums, Scroll and Golden Coins. Five different gemstones are used for low-value symbols. The Violet Orb is the Scatter that can be landed on every reel and can help spinners trigger up to 50 free games. The Yellow Orb held by the Dragon is the Wild that substitutes for all regular symbols.

The rules may seem a bit complicated in the beginning, but you will get the hang of it in no time at all. The 2019 release features five reels and five rows. In the very beginning, the Playtech title offers 45 ways to win and a 1-3-5-3-1 reel formation, but, thanks to the Rising Kingdom feature, after every consecutive win, gamers can expand the reels and unlock more ways to win, starting from 45 to 135 to 405 to 675 to 1,125 and finally 3,125 ways to win. After a non-winning spin, the reels reduce to the starting formation. Betting starts at $0.25 and it can go all the way up to $100 per single spin.

PAYOUTS

If our sources are correct, the maximum possible payout in the 2019 release is 62,500 times the bet. Spinners need to expand the reel grid to the maximum for the biggest wins. The Phoenix is the symbol that pays the most, offering 500 coins for five of a kind. The Dragon will get you 300 coins for the maximum combination. Ways of the Phoenix’s RTP is 95.9%.

WAYS OF THE PHOENIX (PLAYTECH): CASINOBLOKE’S VERDICT

Ways of the Phoenix is a quite decent slot that offers a couple of interesting features. Thanks to the Rising Kingdom feature, the starting 45 ways to win can easily increase simply by landing successive wins but do not expect to expand the reels in full and benefit from 3,125 ways to win in a short period of time. The bad side of the story is that the reels turn to starting 1-3-5-3-1 formation after every non-winning spin. As for the Free Games feature, spinners can trigger up to 50 freebies and the feature can be retriggered indefinitely.
