Fire Blaze: Green Wizard Slot by Playtech

A moonlit forest sets the scene, the five reels tucked inside a wizard's cottage strung with green ivy and deep blue-teal trees glowing behind the timber. The white-bearded wizard in the green hood is the Wild, and he's picky about where he turns up: reels 2, 3 and 4 only, never the outer two. He stands in for everything except the portal-tower scatter and the two feature symbols. Wins pay 243 ways, matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left with no fixed lines, so those three middle wilds do a lot of the connecting work.

The Fire Blaze Hold & Respin is what the whole thing is built around. Land 6 to 15 of the glowing green Magic Balls on a single spin and they lock with their values showing, then you get 3 respins. Every fresh Magic Ball that drops locks too and resets the count back to 3, so a steady trickle keeps the round breathing. Each ball carries a cash value worth 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x or 15x total bet, or a Star. A held ball can also turn into a Gold Egg, which then swallows the displayed values of up to 3 other balls or eggs on the board and piles them onto its own.

The Stars are the jackpot route. Each one flips into the Mini at 20x, Minor at 100x or Major at 500x total bet, and any of the three can drop more than once in a session. The Grand works differently. It pays only when every position on the board fills with a Magic Ball or Gold Egg, and at 2,000x total bet it doubles as the game's ceiling. Nothing climbs here, all four amounts are fixed.

Three or more scatters open 6 Free Games, retriggerable from inside. Each spin drops an animated gold frame over 1, 2 or 3 reels, and a Wild that lands on a framed reel carries a 2x multiplier. Run a win through two of those framed wilds and the multipliers stack reel by reel rather than just totting up. Magic Balls on framed reels tend to show fatter values too. It's the same Fire Blaze Classics setup as Orange Wizard, recolored for an emerald-and-midnight-blue take on wizardry: a purple mystical cat and red potion bottle at the top of the paytable, gold royals under them. No buy button and no ante, so the Magic Balls have to turn up on their own.
