9 Masks of Fire HyperSpins Review

The original 9 Masks Of Fire provides a solid case for the marketing power of being “first”. The game’s somewhat surprising popularity unleashed an avalanche of copycat jobs, and spawned a whole ‘new wave’ of Scatter Jackpot releases. Many of these efforts come with a far superior potential than the original, but so far no new developer has managed to dethrone Gameburger’s smash hit.

Perhaps indefinite individual reel respins for a price is enough of a tweak to catapult 9 Masks of Fire HyperSpins into the number 1 spot (currently occupied by Gameburger’s own copycat effort, 9 Pots of Gold), time will tell. Either way, what you get here is the exact same game, with the bolted on HyperSpins feature to boot. It can certainly be helpful in landing more masks, and you’ll not always have to pay all that much for a nice upgraded win either.

9 Masks of Fire HyperSpins Features

The Diamond Wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combinations, and it’s also the most valuable symbol in its own right. Land 5-oak on a payline, and you’ll win 125x your stake. The premium lineup pays between 7.5 and 37.6 x your stake for the same, in comparison.

What makes this follow-up release different from the original is the HyperSpins feature.

The Mask symbols can land anywhere, and you need 3 to 9 in view to win instant cash prizes. More precisely, you win 1, 5, 15, 40, 100, 500 or 2,000 x your stake when you land 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 mask scatters on the same spin, respectively.

You can land bonus scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 only, and you need 3 in view at the same time to trigger the Bonus Round. You get a 1x scatter win up front, and the Bonus Wheel awards between 10 and 30 free spins, as well as a multiplier of x2 or x3.

The multiplier does not apply to Mask Prize wins, but rather to all line wins during the feature. You can retrigger the bonus round by landing 3 scatters on the same free spin, and this awards the same amount of extra spins that you got initially from the bonus wheel.

Review Summary

The whole HyperSpins feature has never really been a big turn-on for us, but it does lift the experience to a new height in this particular game. HyperSpinning for more masks is not always all that expensive, and it can bring solid returns on a good day. The feature also makes you savour each spin in a different way, instead of just plowing through as many as possible to get to the bonus round.

You will be constantly looking for opportunities to “game the system”, so to speak, and it gives you a nice feeling of being more in control of your own destiny. The original game took everyone by surprise (probably including Gameburger themselves) in how popular it turned out to be, and 9 Masks of Fire HyperSpins will probably intrigue fans of the first game. Allowing the FS multiplier to also apply to scatter jackpots would have made this an even better upgrade, but perhaps they’re saving that one for later installments.

Pros

• FS with x2 or x3 multiplier
• Scatter jackpots up to 2,000x
• HyperSpins in the base game

Cons

• FS multiplier doesn’t apply to scatter prizes
• Beware of customizable RTP ranges

If you love 9 Masks of Fire HyperSpins you should also try:

Western Gold - is a Just For The Win effort in the scatter jackpot genre, and the scatter prizes go as high as 10,000x your stake in this popular installment. You’ll collect scatters to win prizes also in the bonus round, and 12 is needed for the top-tier jackpot.

Hyper Strike - is another Gameburger release in the scatter prize series, and you can land instant jackpots up to 2,000x your stake also here. However, up to 7,500x your stake is possible to achieve via the multiplier in the bonus round, which is solid for medium volatility.

Elven Gold - is a fantasy-themed JFTW effort in the scatter prize range, and you can win instant jackpots up to 15,000x your stake in this game.
