Flaming Bars

If you've got a yearning for some old-school classic fun, take a look at Flaming Bars. This online slot from Playtech celebrates the retro style, with familiar symbols that regular players will instantly recognise. It's not the most sophisticated slot you'll find, but that's all part of the appeal. Take a step back in time, immerse yourself in play, and you could win up to x2000 on a standard payout or even more on an increasing prize pot. 

Modern video slots offer incredible graphics with themes that span almost every conceivable genre. However, there's still a place for classic games, and Flaming Bars fit the bill perfectly. Playtech have a vast array of games in their back catalogue, and while they've got plenty that have a fresh, new look, they've got their fair share of traditional slots too. This includes Extreme Fruits Ultimate, Gem Heat and Extreme Fruits. 

Flaming Bars is set on a 5x3 grid which includes five traditional paylines. This may sound on the low side, but it's relatively typical for the retro style slot. The betting range starts at a meagre 0.05 and ranges right up to 500.00. Volatility is medium to high, so you might have to be patient to land a win. 

Your wish is Playtech's command…and if you wished for a genuine retro slot, that's what Playtech have delivered. This isn't a fruit machine dressed up in fancy video technology; the styling is exactly as you'd imagine for an old school slot. Flaming Bars is just how you'd imagine a traditional slot game to look with bright and colourful symbols, a plain background, and virtually nothing else.  

The paytable provides the information you need relating to the value of each symbol. But they'll all be very familiar, as you will have seen them on fruit slots of the past. They include cherries, lemons, oranges, grapes, plums, melons, Lucky 7s, bells and a white diamond. This latter is the highest value symbol, and if you land a complete set of five, you'll receive a payout of x100.  

There is also a wild, which is represented by the Flaming Bars logo. This can substitute for any of the other regular symbols to make it easier to create a match. The wild also has its own value, and if you land five, you'll collect a very healthy x200. 

There aren't usually too many extra features in classic slots, and that's the same with Flaming Bars.  

The first is the Flaming Respin feature which is unlocked if you land a complete stack of wilds. The stacked wilds then breaks down to create multiple single wilds, which are scattered randomly over the reels. The wilds are locked in their new positions, and a respin takes place. If you land any more wilds, they'll also lock, and you'll get another respin. You can repeat this respin up to five times.  

The other feature is potentially very lucrative. Triggered randomly, there are the Mini and Grand Flaming prize pots. These are increasing, and the value rises as you play. You can track the current value of the prize pots on the meters above the main reels. There’s nothing you can do to increase your chances of winning either prize other than to keep playing and hope for the best!

Flaming Bars from Playtech will really appeal to anyone who loves the classic style of play. This doesn't just pay lip service to the genre; it's a slot that faithfully follows the more traditional slot machine, which was popular many years ago. With familiar old-school graphics and the chance to win more from the increasing prize pot, it's a slot that has much to offer, even if you haven't played this style for a while.
