The different connections in Fire Toad

How the Fire Toad bonus works

When 3 or more butterflies land anywhere on the reels, the free spins bonus feature is triggered. 3, 4 or 5 Scatters award 9, 12 or 15 free spins respectively. During these free spins, the tadpole symbol is upgraded one step up the scale of fire toads. The feature can be retriggered indefinitely. 3, 4 or 5 Scatters landing during the free spins offer 3, 4 or 5 extra free spins.

When the function is retriggered, the toad symbols are upgraded by one step in a set order appearing at the top of the grid. Finally, there is another possible feature when only 2 Scatter symbols land on the grid. A toad symbol is chosen at random and all toad symbols with a lower value on the grid are replaced by the chosen symbol.

Our opinion about Fire Toad

The least we can say is that the provider Play'n GO offers us déjà vu with this new Fire Toad slot. A 2-in-1 symbol like WILD and Scatter, a traditional free spins bonus: at first glance, there is not much originality. The evolution of the toads and the improved symbols are hardly the only interests of Fire Toad, a colourful slot with an average RTP and maximum win.
