Roasty McFry and the Flame Busters — RTP, volatility and max win

Roasty McFry and the Flame Busters by Thunderkick sends a pixel-art fire brigade against the flames, joined by robots, wizards and cartoon heroes straight out of retro computer games. Wins pay left to right without fixed lines, and a level-up system sits on top of the free spins and the bonus game.

The look mixes fire crews, flames and pixel art in blue, green and yellow, with robots and wizards turning up between the firefighters. Across the 5×3 grid you get 243 ways, and a spin costs between €0.10 at the bottom and €100 at the upper end, wide enough for small and large budgets alike. Thunderkick released the game on May 8, 2017.

Given its medium volatility, Roasty McFry and the Flame Busters sits alongside games with the same profile on inferno slots by volatility.

Instead of fixed lines the game uses 243 ways: matching symbols need to show up on neighbouring reels from the leftmost one, in any row. Several matching symbols on one reel multiply the number of ways that pay at once, so a single symbol can be counted more than once in the same spin.

Besides wilds and scatters, Roasty McFry and the Flame Busters carries three bonus elements: free spins, a stand-alone bonus game and a level-up system.

The free spins and the bonus game run as two separate rounds, the bonus game with its own rules away from the base game.

The level-up system upgrades the bonus features in stages, so later bonus rounds offer more than the first one.

Since free spins sit next to the bonus game as the second bonus phase in Roasty McFry and the Flame Busters, inferno slots with free spins is the place for more games built around them.

RTP 96.1%, higher than 63% of the 400 Inferno slots. Background: how RTP works on a slot. Volatility Medium, like 49 of the 182 slots in the Fire & flame theme. Background: what slot volatility means. Max win 5,280× (€528,000 at the highest stake). Background: what max win means on a slot. Hit frequency 30.2%: roughly one spin in 3 wins.

An RTP of 96.1% and medium volatility give Roasty McFry and the Flame Busters a balanced profile: the bigger wins come from the free spins and the bonus game rather than from one rare giant hit. At 5,280× your stake, the biggest prize clears the inferno median.
