Burning Coins 20 Dice Slot Review

Six or more Burning Dice anywhere on the reels start the round. The dice that triggered it lock into the matching positions of a new grid, and that grid is not the 5x3 you were just playing: the outer columns hold 4 positions, the next two hold 5, and the centre column holds 6, for 24 in total. Line pays stop completely. Every uncovered position then spins its own small reel of Burning Dice, COLLECT symbols and blanks, and anything special that lands stays locked.

The round begins with 3 attempts. Every spin costs one. Land a single Burning Die or COLLECT anywhere and the counter goes straight back to 3, so a generous grid keeps itself alive. It ends when the attempts run out or all 24 positions are covered, and everything is totalled and paid at the finish. The bonus plays at the triggering bet and cannot be won again inside itself.

Every Burning Die carries a prize on its face worth a set multiple of the total bet: x1 through x9, then x12, x14, x16, x18, x20 and x25. That is a fixed list, not a range. There is no x10, no x13, and nothing at all between x20 and x25.

COLLECT is the piece that makes a round compound. It appears only in the bonus, and each one that lands is paid the sum of every prize currently sitting on the grid. The Burning Dice are not consumed and they keep their values, so a second COLLECT pays the whole running total again. Two of them late in a well-filled grid is where the big numbers actually come from.

Fill an entire column and it pays on top of the prizes inside it, scaled to the column's height: 50x total bet for either 4-position outer column, 200x for a 5-position column, 1000x for the 6-position centre. Every column that fills pays, so several can land in one round.

These are fixed bet multiples with no meter behind them, nothing progressive. The 1000x centre column is also the number that several listings quote as this game's maximum win, which it is not; it is one component of a round that tops out at 1500x.

Land 5 or fewer Burning Dice and the spin is not necessarily finished. Lucky Time fires at random on those spins and drops extra Burning Dice onto the reels until there are enough to trigger the bonus normally. How often it steps in is not published, and it plainly does not rescue every near miss, but it does mean a four-dice spin is worth watching until the animation stops.

The wild is the white die with the red 7 and it arrives stacked, covering a full reel when it lands well. It substitutes for everything except the scatter and the Burning Dice, and it tops the paytable in its own right at 60x for five.

The scatter pays from anywhere at 10x, 25x and 50x for three, four and five, which is enormous next to the line symbols: three scatters returns ten times what three of the best regular dice pays. Beyond that it does nothing. It does not open the bonus and it carries no other function.

Any settled win can be pushed through the Risk Game, a card double-up against the dealer. Four cards face down, pick one, beat the dealer's card and the win doubles, up to ten times in a row. A tie leaves the win untouched and costs nothing, the Joker beats everything, and the dealer can never hold one.

Endorphina publishes the returns on it, which most studios do not: always taking the risk averages 84%, swinging from 162% against a dealer 2 down to 42% against an Ace. The headline 96.01% excludes the whole thing. Column jackpot winnings cannot be gambled, and the feature is switched off during autoplay.
