Fire Hopper Slot review
Take a little trip down to the pond in the Fire Hopper slot game from Push Gaming. The company has developed a habit of creating fun scatter-slot games with some big winning potential, and Fire Hopper follows that trend. The slot is a tranquil little trip down to the water where big wins and some innovative bonus features lie in wait. Let’s check them out in this Fire Hopper slot review.
Fire Hopper Theme and Design
Visually, the Fire Hopper slot game is very easy on the eyes. The game grid is floating around on the top of a river, with stones and lilypads lining the sides. The reels on the grid consist of a collection of different lily pads and water plants. If there is one complaint to be levelled at the game, it’s that the symbols on the reel are all very similar and that distinguishing between them can be very difficult. Other than this though, there is very little to complain about.
How to Play Fire Hopper
The tranquil atmosphere of the Fire Hopper design is also reflected in the easy-going gameplay. The slot uses a cluster-pay mechanic across a 7x7 grid. Wins are rewarded for clusters of five or more. The stake is adjusted under the reels, with a menu allowing bets between €0.10 and €20. This was the case in the demo version we played and may not apply at every casino where the slot is available.
Don’t let the chilled nature of the game fool you though. The slot has an RTP of 96.30%, with a huge potential maximum win of 50,000x the user’s stake. The game is highly volatile, which is also something we always approve of.
Fire Hopper Bonus Features
Those who have played Push Gaming’s Jammin Jars are going to recognise several of the features in Fire Hopper. The Frog symbol is what players will want to keep their eyes peeled for. Whenever a Frog lands with a Firefly symbol, it will leap across the grid and grab it. It will leave a Golden Frog in its place and the value of the Frog will increase by one when it makes its jump. The Frog can make multiple jumps in one go, building up a big multiplier. Frogs will also jump to get instant-win symbols.
The main Frog will stay on the reel until the end of the cascade, which gives players the chance to build up a pretty strong multiplier.
The other symbol the Frog will jump for is the Firefly Bonus symbol. When it grabs this, it will trigger seven free spins. During the round, the Frog will be persistent on the reels with the multiplier not resetting. Gold Frogs will not persist during the spins.
If you want to jump ahead of the other frogs, you can always click on the tiny star icon in the corner of the screen to buy your way into the Free Spins round. This feature, however, will not be available for players in all locations.
Fire Hopper Slot Verdict
If you’re a fan of Push Gaming’s Jammin Jars titles – let’s be honest, who isn’t? – then you are going to find a lot to enjoy with Fire Hopper. The Golden Frog feature works really nicely with the cascading wins mechanic, and the winning potential here is very strong. This is the kind of slot where you can rack up some really nice wins if everything comes together at the right time.
