9 Masks of Fire (Microgaming) – Review & Demo Play

9 Masks of Fire Slot Overview

9 Masks of Fire from Gameburger Studios runs on 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines, with bets from 0.20 to 60 per spin. I get a classic fruit machine feel wrapped in an African vibe, with masks and drums carrying the action. The slot is quick to pick up, so I usually jump straight in, set a stake, and spin. It works across desktop and mobile, and the prize ladder on the left keeps the target clear as you chase those scatter pays.

RTP sits at 96.24% by default, though lower variants exist at some sites, and volatility is medium, which suits regular sessions. In practice, I see a steady flow of small line hits with the odd punchy mask payout, which keeps the balance moving. The mix of paylines and scatter wins means you are never locked to one route. I keep the bet steady and let the mechanics do the work rather than chasing big jumps.

The presentation hits the mark for a simple setup. The gold frame, rising embers, and drum-led soundtrack match the theme without getting in the way. I like the Free Spin Wheel animation when it pops, though on a smaller phone the buttons feel a touch tight. The core loop stays focused on masks landing anywhere and 7s lining up left to right, which gives the base game a familiar rhythm and clear moments of excitement.

What symbols are there in 9 Masks of Fire?

Mixed 7s return 3.25x for five. The dollar sign pays 3.25x, the bell 2x, with BAR and cherries at 1x for five.

What are the bonus features in 9 Masks of Fire?

The headline feature is the Mask Scatter ladder. Masks can land anywhere, often stacked, and the table to the left lights up to show the instant cash prize at your current bet. Hit 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 masks in view to score 1x up to 2000x in a single spin. This sits on top of the 20 line wins, so even without free spins the base game has real bite when the masks arrive together.

Diamonds serve as the wild, substituting for all regular symbols to complete lines, and five wilds pay 125x on a payline. Outside of that, the base game keeps things classic with 7s, bells, bars, and cherries building most line pays. I rate the balance between line hits and scatter ladders, as it avoids long dry runs. When the grid floods with masks, it can flip a session in one go.

Free spins in 9 Masks of Fire

Free spins trigger via the shield and spears symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4, paying 1x before a wheel decides the package. The Free Spin Wheel awards 10 to 30 spins with a 2x or 3x win multiplier, and retriggers are possible with no stated limit. The multiplier applies to all wins except mask pays, which stay tied to the ladder. The round can snowball nicely when retriggers land and lines hit with the 7s.

What is the jackpot in 9 Masks of Fire?

The top prize on the ladder is 2,000x your stake for nine masks in view, and that total is shown beside the reels at all times. At the top bet of 60, that equals 120,000 in one spin. Masks are not multiplied during the bonus, though the 2x or 3x can drive bigger line totals. Landing 9 masks at once is not that easy, so I bank on steady play, ladder pops, and the wheel doing its job over time.
