WagerWorks Launches Fire Opals Online Slot

Fire Opals is a popular land casino slot machine created by market leader International Game Technology (IGT). Now the gaming software wing of IGT, WagerWorks, has converted this visually appealing slot game to an online format. Fire Opals slot game has already gone live at WagerWorks online casinos through its remote gaming server. CasinoAdvisor recommends Virgin Casino licensed by the Alderney Gaming Control Commission.

Fire Opals has a South Seas paradise theme but with a difference. Along with the Hula girls and colorful exotic blooms there are symbols of volcanoes spewing molten lava and burnt red opals. The sound effects complement this awesome beauty. The ominous background is a far cry from the cheerful settings of earlier WagerWorks slot games on this theme like White Orchid.

Fire Opals features the MultiWay Xtra format, but with 720 ways to win. This is achieved through the hexagonal reels set up that was recently introduced in Siberian Tiger. The first and last reels have three spots, the second and fourth reels have four spots and the middle reel has five spots. The combinations pay out in both directions, which are from left to right and right to left. And they can appear anywhere on the reels because there are no fixed paylines. This creates even more ways to win. Fire Opals has a fixed 50 coin bet. The coin denominations range from 1.00 credits to 100.00 credits, giving a whopping maximum bet of 5,000 credits per spin. No high roller will ever need more than that.

The Bonus symbol triggers the free spins bonus round. Five Bonus symbols must appear anywhere on the reels for the player to be awarded ten free spins. The free spins are played on richer reels and can be retriggered when five Bonus symbols appear again. The retriggering can take place up to 260 free spins. Another special symbol in the Fire Opals slots game is the wild symbol. It appears as Stacked Wilds and this can significantly boost payouts. Wild symbols can substitute for other symbols on the reels and thus create winning combinations. The Scatter symbol leads to scatter payouts that are multiplied by the total bet. The average return to the player on Fire Opals is 94.92%

Earlier this month IGT won the Best Slot Manufacturer of the Year at the International Gaming Awards. Craig Churchill, IGT senior vice president International, said, "We are deeply honored to be acknowledged with this award and take great pride in the entire IGT team." IGT was selected for this award because it continued to turn out innovative slot machines based on pop-culture brands and excellent gaming features. IGT follows a policy of bringing its best land casino slots into the online domain and there will be more slots like Fire Opals coming in 2012.
