Play Ember Inferno for Free

As soon as I loaded the Ember Inferno slot machine, I was struck by how it reminded me of the How to Train Your Dragon movies. A young-looking dragon stands to the side of the reels with a huge castle to the other, and while it’s a cartoon style game, the setting is certainly dramatic. Cute red, green, and blue animated dragons, a boy, and precious gems in a range of sparkling colors land on the reels within a stone-effect surround, dropping down with a nice clicking sound on each spin.

It’s from the studios of Nsoft and joins the rest of their range at some of the most popular mobile online casinos, as well as the desktop sites featured here.

I found 11 bet options from a range of 1 to 100 credits, along with a range of bonus buy options that award higher multipliers or improve the odds of entry to free spins. Curious to see how it all worked, I had a go at the free Ember Inferno slot on this page, for a risk-free insight to tumbles, multipliers, and bonus games.

Playing for real money stakes, I discovered the ease with which tumbles can lead to a couple of wins in a row, although the high volatility meant that getting more than three or four in a sequence isn’t so easy. A wild dragon eye helps by acting as others, but it has no value of its own.

Tumbles remove winning symbols, and you need at least 12 matched symbols in any places to win. Remaining symbols drop down as new ones refill the reels from the top, and tumbles repeat until there’s no new win.

Multipliers build over any series of tumbles. The values change on each spin, with the current multipliers on display at the top. If you manage more than five tumbles in a sequence, the highest multiplier remains active, and while they can hit a maximum of 235x, the most I saw was 55x. I also found that quite often there were no multipliers on the first few tumbles, with just a value on the fifth in a series, and as mentioned above, getting to five tumbles is no easy task.

Golden dragon eggs in at least four places awards the Ember Inferno slot machine free spins round. You get 15 free games where the big difference is that multipliers don’t reset at the end of tumbles, and it’s here that the chance of hitting the 235x limit gets a little more realistic.

I skipped the wait and bought into free spins with 50 credits upfront, winning 150 credits and hitting a 30x multiplier. That’s a great result, but don’t bank on having a similar outcome.

Paytable

This is how many times the bet symbols pay in any places -

• I like the cartoonish style, with charming characters and animations.

• There’s the chance to build big multipliers over any series of tumbles or during free spins.

• A high volatility suits my style of play, where relatively infrequent wins can be offset by high prizes at any time.

• The fast pace gives the Ember Inferno slot a greater level of energy than many other games.

If you are looking for similar games to the Ember Inferno slot, then look no further than Emberfall 40k from Slotmill, and Dragon's Fire Megaways by Red Tiger Gaming, both of which have tumbles with increasing multipliers.

Let’s get the downsides out of the way first, as they didn’t really take much away from my enjoyment of this game. Multipliers frequently didn’t kick in until the third, fourth, or even fifth tumble in a series, and getting far enough to claim these was very hit and miss.

But I managed a few and certainly got lucky with the free spins after buying into the round. Other things I liked about the Ember Inferno slot machine included the fantastic style, with lots of animations from winning symbols as they explode, and new ones tumble down at a rapid pace. Give the demo version a try on this site, where it’s part of the biggest range of free slots online.
