How We Review Slot Games

We test and rate all slot games across 5 criteria, assigning a score out of 10 for each and an overall score that is an average of the 5. To build an accurate assessment of each game we gather information from the supplier and play in real play or demo mode. Find out more.

ELK Studios are no strangers to inventive narratives behind their slots– popular games from their back catalogue include the heist-themed slot, Lake’s Five, alien-landing game, Visitors, and the adventure ‘Gold’ series featuring the intrepid hero, Kane.

For their latest romp they take us into the world of an infatuated alchemist who has dedicated his entire life to finding a way to transform mater into real gold – something players of this game will be aiming to do as well. In the end, our protagonist fails, but on the way he finds himself an unexpected friend and all – FIRE!! What you get in this weird, off-road adventure is cartoonish visuals, sleek animations, a dramatic soundtrack and TONS of features. Thanks to this, and its medium variance and decent win potential Miss Wildfire promises to have a broad appeal to most slots players, from casual low stakes ones to the big stakes, jackpot chasing fanatics.

Let’s find out more.

RTP and Variance

Our Score 8

What is RTP?

RTP (Return to Player) refers to the amount a game will pay out in cash prizes expressed as a percentage of all the money wagered on that game. For example, a 96% RTP means a game will pay out £96 for every £100 wagered. This is an average number and will vary from one session to the next.  Read more here.

What is Variance?

Variance refers to how far a game will deviate from its RTP over time. High variance games deviate a lot and produce uneven win distributions and unexpected windfalls. Low variance games provide a more stable and even distribution of wins. Read more here.

The RTP in Miss Wildfire video slot is set at a pretty average 96.1% which makes it a middle of the road game in that respect, and a 22.9% hit frequency gives the game a regular, stable pay pattern too. Another contributing factor here is the medium variance which means the pay model is even and won’t frustrate in the same way that ELK’s more volatile creations can. As for the top payout, 5,000x is a reasonable jackpot to aim for and puts Miss Wildfire right up there with the competition in the medium variance slots group.

Symbols and Paytable

Our Score 8

The lower part of the Paytable in this game is occupied with standard playing card symbols from 10 through to Ace that deliver between 1x and 2.40x the bet when 6 form a winning combination. Meanwhile there are just 3 Premium symbols and they are depicted as a Wave within a pyramid, a Flower incased in a cube and the Philosopher’s Stone which deliver 5x, 6x and 20x your bet respectively for 6 of a kind.

The Wild, depicted with a burning W, appears both in base game and in the Bonus round to substitute for all symbols bar the Scatter to help form winlines with other icons. In addition, when 5 Wilds form a win, you score the same payout as the top paying premium symbol. Finally, there is also a scatter that is needed to trigger the Free Spins round which gives you at least 7 free plays to start.

Features and Gameplay

Our Score 8

The base game here is action-packed enough thanks to a regularly-triggered set of fun features and plenty of animations on the reel set. But it’s the free spins round where things really move up a notch with level ups and extra wilds. Here is how it all works:

The Wildfire Feature

Any wild that lands next to a log icon will set it on fire, which can further spread to surrounding reels, causing these icons to turn into Wilds too. This is a clever version of the popular spreading wilds feature we see in other good slot games.

Miss Wildfire

The Miss Wildfire Symbol also works as Wild, but it comes with add ons – namely it walks! So whenever Miss Wildfire appears she causes a respin and moves one space to the left as she does, until eventually she falls off the end of the reel set. Meanwhile, any scatter that lands while this is happening will remain in place.

Look out as well for the enhanced Super Miss Wildfire feature which is a variant in which unlit logs remain on the reels too.

The Free Spins Feature

When 3 or more Scatters hit, the Free Spins Round is initiated and at least 7 free plays are awarded. At the beginning of the round, from 1 to 4 Miss Wildfires appear on the rightmost reel and start moving to the left with each spin. At the same time, logs that land are added to a meter to the right of the reels to help players achieve level ups. With each new Level, one low-win icon becomes upgraded into a Log and one more set of Miss Wildfire walking icons appears on the reels, so enhancing the paytable and your chances of bigger wins.

The Final Verdict

Our Score 8.0

Typically for an ELK Studios game, Miss Wildfire is packed with fun and compelling features, all built around a clever and exciting narrative. This is a slot that will appeal to a very broad audience thanks to its medium variance, good RTP and enticing payout potential of 5,000x. To get the most enjoyment out of it and experience a really thrilling win sequence you’ll need to unlock the free spins round and hope you can level up a few times and score lots of walking wilds! Good luck and have fun!
