River Empress is a game from Rarestone’s Fire Blaze Jackpot series. It has 5 reels and 30 ways to win. The bonus round gives you up to 200 extra wilds. You could win up to 2,000 times your bet in the Hold and Respin feature.
Rarestone is making a lot of Fire Blaze Jackpot games for Asia and the West. They are not stopping yet. The game follows the same rules but it has an extra bonus part that makes it special. This extra part, called Hold & Spin jackpot, is what makes the Fire Blaze series famous.
We no longer think that this series might surprise us or become really amazing. Rarestone is sticking with the same things they have always done, but each game will be a little bit different. Some people like playing the same types of games over and over again, and that’s why Rarestone keeps making them.
The Empress is the special symbol in this game. She can replace regular symbols to help you win. The Empress can appear on reels 2 to 5 in the base game and sometimes there will be 3 of her on one reel at once. All three will join together to show the Empress.
If you get three pink lotuses, then you will see four different colored lotus flowers. This is called the River of Flowers feature. It can give you regular free spins or it can trigger a jackpot prize.
You will get 4, 6 or 10 free spins. During these spins, you can get 50, 100 or 200 extra wilds added to the reel strips. If you land 3 scatters on a free spin you will get the same number of extra spins that you initially triggered. You cannot trigger the Fire Blaze Respins feature on a free spin, but wilds can appear on all 5 reels.
There are two ways to make the Fire Blaze Respins happen. One way is by landing 3 Fire Blaze symbols on the same spin. The other way is by having 6 Pearl symbols show up on one spin. These Pearls have money values from 1x to 50x your stake. The triggering Pearls will stay in place and you get three respins afterwards.
The Fire Blaze Hold & Win feature will only have blank symbols, jackpot stars or Money Pearls. If you get a new Pearl symbol or jackpot star, it will start the respins over at 3. The feature ends when you don’t have any more spins or if the screen is filled with Money Pearls.
If you get the Grand Jackpot, you will get 2,000 times your bet. All Pearls will add up like if you ran out of spins. Randomly, you can get a Mini, Minor or Major jackpot worth 20x, 100x or 500x your stake. You can even win more than one of these smaller jackpots in each game.
Rarestone makes lots of Fire Blaze Respin Jackpot games. The first one, Jinn’s Moon, was popular. River Empress is not very different and people who like the series will know what to expect.
