The OCR review

Gameplay

It’s celebration time in this Asian-themed 5×3 slot as the paper lanterns take flight and the fireworks set the night alight with colour and fun. PG Soft are fast becoming synonymous with simple mechanics done in an intriguing and crisp visual style and Wild Fireworks is certainly spot on in the looks department.

What does make it a bit – and just a bit – of a miss is the lack of extra bang that would take this slot even higher.

But, for an online slots game that South African casino fans can carry around in their pocket – Wild Fireworks is squarely aimed at the mobile player – Wild Fireworks gives just enough to be a hit and bring us at Online Casino Review a good gambling experience.

It is undoubtedly beautifully created. The graphics are stunning and the game play itself smooth and quick, so our attention was kept. The max win bonus of x20,000 would also be a reason to celebrate with our own fireworks display if we were able to hit it.

The layout is simple, with a clear focus on the mobile market, but it is just as playable on desktop.

Symbols

The Asian theme is kept throughout and bolstered by the symbols that are all fireworks-based. As a cultural touchpoint, the fireworks in Asian lore are massively popular as symbols of new beginnings, as symbols of celebration, and as recognition for the ancestors so we did like the fact that all the symbols are different forms of fireworks.

From low to high paying symbols: the Royals J to Ace, Red Rockets, Green Rockets, Blue Cones, Red Crackers, Barrel of Fireworks.

The three dragon rockets stand in for the Wilds while the Scatter is a vibrant Lotus-looking flower.

Graphics

From the pagoda temples in the background to paper lanterns to the fireworks the symbols and the winning animations, Asia is certainly the home of Wild Fireworks. And, while Asia is definitely a very popular theme for online slots, the PG Soft touch brings in beautiful graphics and stunning artwork. Hi end, hi-res, clear graphics are a hallmark of PG Soft and their creative teams must be applauded for putting so much attention to and detail in their games.

Sound

The sound is a bit weird – in a good way. The fusion of modern beats with classical Chinese instruments gives the soundtrack immense likeability and it fits smoothly with the game – not too loud, not too frantic, but with just enough of a modern vibe to not get boring.

Bonuses and extras

Features are a bit lacking. Wilds and scatters abound but there are no bonus games or stand out features.
