Asgardian Fire Slot Features

Flanked by massive pillars adorned with gold sits a 6x4 grid awarding payouts for matching at least 3 symbols on adjacent reels. All qualifying combinations must begin from the leftmost column and continue rightwards across the board. Every winning set will disappear from the view, drop the remaining symbols down, and populate the grid with new instances for a chance for further hits. Additionally, one extra row will be added after every cascade, up to 8 total, resulting in 262,144 winning ways. The paytable contains 12 regular symbols divided into three groups. Low-value royal characters pay between 0.1 and 0.4 times the bet. The middle section awards from 0.4 to 1.2 times, and premium icons grant rewards from 1 to 5 times the bet.

Jumbo Blocks & Wild Fill

During cascading, large symbols may drop within reels 2 through 6. They appear in 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 sizes. Any empty spaces underneath the Jumbo Blocks will be filled with Wilds.

Second Chance

Each Scatter will explode and destroy up to 12 symbols around it in a diamond-shaped pattern once the cascading is over and no more wins can be created. Removed symbols trigger another collapse to give an additional chance to create more combinations.

Asgardian Fire Free Spins

Scoring at least 3 Scatters during a single spin awards 6 free spins, plus every additional instance grants 3 more. Increasing the grid's height throughout the bonus remains locked, guaranteeing a higher minimum number of winning ways.

An additional Persistent Wild symbol is present during free spins, which remains sticky on the grid until participating in a win.

Bonus Buy

Players have the possibility to trigger the bonus round instantly for a fixed buy-in. The price depends on the number of initial free spins:

• 6 free spins for 60 x bet
• 9 free spins for 100 x bet
• 12 free spins for 125 x bet
• 15 free spins for 140 x bet
• 25 free spins for 300 x bet

Final Thoughts

"Inspiring" oneself with a competitor's successful product is a well-established phenomenon in the online gambling industry. After all, some of the most popular slots, like Starburst or Book of Dead, are based on mechanics from previously existing games. Hence, seeing a game like Asgardian Fire, which borrows most of its functionalities from the Gold series by ELK Studios, doesn't come across as a surprise. An increasing grid's height, colossal symbols, persistent Wilds, and symbol elimination - each of those features appeared in one form or another in the Swedish outfit's productions. And while there isn't much of an inventive spark in such an approach, proper balancing and composition surely require a lot of skill to come out just right. It feels like Neon Valley Studios did some proper work in that area.

What Asgardian Fire lacks in the technical department, it makes up manyfold with its presentation. The studio truly has pulled out all the stops and delivered a massively immersive and visually stunning Norse setting full of incredible animations and effects. Without a doubt, it's one of the most captivating mythological themes we've seen among online slots to date.
