Konami has a long history of producing games, both the more traditional video games as well as pachinko games and slots. Their online slots are a continuation of their long history, and always worth a look. What’ll you find in Wings Of The Phoenix then?
The company has kept true to its roots, as this is a pretty classic look, perhaps straight from the terminals even. The game itself uses a combination of normal reels and normal pay-lines, with an aim to entice the player with some nice wins and a plethora of specials.
Theme and Symbols
I’m not a hundred percent sure what this theme is a reference to, perhaps a comic or an animated series or an earlier game? For sure, the reels are full of fiery symbols, plus a collection of more familiar traditional symbols.
The sounds effects are a bit primitive, but what else would you expect from a legendary beast such as the Phoenix, who was followed mankind since times primaeval.
Betting Options and Functions
The standard bet is one credit per line, of which there are 30, plus 15 extra for the special features. This is a rather strange combination, which you can however easily translate to actual denomination through the game interface. Possible bets are one, two or five credits per line.
...the layout looks a bit old, but it offers everything you need and is easily accessible...
When it comes to variance, the setting is between low and medium. This is evident from the possible wins, which for the most are between 2 and 250 times the line bet. The one exception to this is the phoenix symbol, of which 5 on a payline will net you 1000 times your line bet.
Features
During each spin a group of adjacent symbol positions are chosen, and a matching symbol is placed on all of them. This doesn’t result in wins on every spin, but it does help a lot when the right symbols hit the right spots.
In addition, there’s a random chance on any roll of reels that all the playing card ranks are replaced with one matching higher value symbol. Again, this can result in quite a few combinations firing through the thirty paylines.
The main feature comes in the form of bonus spins, during which the above specials feature more often. You can score up to 30 free games, which can be re-triggered during the bonus games.
Our Take
This Konami slot is probably best aimed at those who are familiar with the company itself. On the other hand, if you’re into retro gaming you might also want to take a look. Certainly, there is nothing wrong when it comes to bonus features and wins either. Perhaps this game is best aimed at everyone after all?
