The inferno is crackling and full of sizzling payouts. The only way to trigger them is to launch a session of Instant Inferno on Real Play mode in our casino. You can win up to $500 in a single round playing this online slot game.
After testing Instant Inferno, we’re confident that it will appeal to a wide-range of online slots players. The creators of popular hits 777 Deluxe and Reels & Wheels, Woohoo Games didn’t try to re-invent the wheel this time; they used the ever popular 5-reel, 30-payline format as a basis for Instant Inferno. Effort went into creating a captivating design and theme that will draw in almost anyone.
Adding two scatters that award instant cash prizes also helps. This game has a nice collection of bonus features that break up the base game and create more chances to win. If you’re lucky enough to trigger free spins mode, you get to play a mini game that dictates how lucrative your free spins session will be.
We’ll cover all of this and more in this comprehensive Instant Inferno guide. Join us as we pop the hood and look at the game specs to see why this game has been such a hit since we released it a couple of years ago. If you like the sound of it, you’ll want to sign up for an account at Bodog to play Instant Inferno with real money on the line. We’ll explain the easiest way to do that at the end of the guide.
Gameplay & Design
Available on mobile and desktop with no downloads required, Instant Inferno is played on five reels and three rows. The background is a fire with flickering flames and flyaway embers. Everything is sizzling in this game.
The musical soundtrack has an intense beat that matches the fire theme. As you play, sound effects enhance every positive outcome. If it’s too distracting, however, you can turn it off by pulling up the game settings in the menu and finding the buttons for Sound Effects and Music.
To play, simply choose your preferred bet size with the “Bet Amount” button just right of the reels. The default is $1.50, but you can switch it to almost anything between $0.30 and $150 a round. With your bet set, you can start the action by manually pressing “Spin” (you can also use the spacebar on your keyboard), or activate Auto Play for 10, 25, 50, 100 or infinity rounds; to turn it off, hit the “Stop” button.
The icons that spin around the reels are traditional slot symbols that have been jazzed up to suit the fire esthetic. Cherries, Bars, Bells and Lucky No. Sevens—all animated with blazing design—make up the standard game icons. They need to be lined up on one of the game’s 30 paylines to trigger a payout. To see the paylines, pull up the game menu and scroll down below the paytable; all 30 lines are active at all times.
As mentioned, you can win up to $500 in a single spin in this game, making it a popular pick with jackpot hunters. The Return to Player (RTP) rate is a healthy 96.63%; as many of our seasoned slot players know, finding games with an RTP above 96% is challenging, so mark this one down on your must-try list.
Key Features
Wilds
Wilds are included as a bonus icon and rotate around all five reels. They transform into standard game symbols (not scatters and bonus symbols) in order to create a winning line. For example, if a wild lands in the middle of a line of Cherry symbols, it turns into a Cherry. You’ll find yourself triggering significantly more payouts when wilds are included.
Scatters
Instant Inferno has two types of scatters: standard scatters and premium scatters. The standard ones offer instant cash prizes when you land three or more anywhere on the reels. The payouts range from 1X (three scatters) to 2000X (nine scatters). There are seven different payouts for the standard scatter.
Premium scatters likewise land on all five reels, but they offer a bigger payout than their standard counterparts. There are only three payouts for the premiums; the paytable is as follows:
Three premium scatters 2X
Four premium scatters 25X
Five premium scatters 5000X
Bonus Rounds
Pick Me Free Spins Bonus
In order to trigger the game’s Pick Me free spins session, you need to land bonus symbols on the three innermost reels.
When you do that, 20 mystery tiles will appear on a grid on screen for you to pick and choose from. Just left of the grid is a Match Card that shows all of the prizes hidden under the tiles. They’re all combinations of free spins and a multiplier to boost payouts. When we trialed the game, our card had the following combinations:
20 spins + 3X
15 spins + 2X
11 spins + 2X
10 spins + 2X
7 spins + 2X
5 spins + 2X
Wilds
Wilds are included in the prizes to spice up gameplay. They sub in for the highest possible prize plus award five extra free rounds.
Above the grid is a banner that directs you to “Pick Until You Match 3”. As you make your selections, each tile is flipped and the prize revealed. When you reach three matches on your Match Card, you claim the prize and head over to free spins where all of your prizes will be boosted with the multiplier.
Once you’re in free spins, the reels roll automatically. They can be re-triggered before you run out, but the most you can get is 50.
