Soar to Winning Heights in Pariplay’s New ‘Phoenix Gold’ Slot

Dive into the magic and mystery of the legendary phoenix in iGaming software provider’s fiery new offering
Pariplay Ltd., a gaming technology company serving iGaming operators, land-based casinos and lotteries, has launched Phoenix Gold, a mythology-themed online slot daring players to dive deep into the magical realm of the phoenix in order to raise golden treasures from its fiery ashes. Taking players on a riveting journey through volcanic mountains and smoky clouds, Phoenix Gold is teeming with special features, including Mystery Random Multipliers, Free Spins and Free Spins Multipliers.
From the bold reds and purples of the scenic backdrop to the pulsating soundtrack, Phoenix Gold transports users into a fantasy world. Complementary to its enchanting visuals, this 3-row, 5-reel video slot boasts 243 ways to win in the base game, allowing players to glide through an exciting gameplay experience.
Symbolic of renewal and rebirth, the majestic phoenix welcome players as they embark on an unparalleled quest for untold riches. In the game, the Golden Phoenix acts as a wild on the three central reels, rising from the embers to deliver extra golden wins. The symbol also triggers the Mystery Random Multipliers feature, which increases the payout for slot enthusiasts.
The Free Spins feature, a key to more prizes, is triggered by three or more scatter symbols landing on adjacent reels. Additionally, the three central reels more than double the winning potential up to 576 combinations.
Adding to the fiery free spins round, players also get the chance to select from seven different free spins options, with each option offering up to 25 free spins, multipliers ranging between 2x to 40x and a mystery option.
Phoenix Gold, Pariplay’s latest addition to an expanding portfolio of over 100 online casino games, is enabled with dual return-to-player (RTP) rates of 94.50% and 97.00%, providing operators with ultimate flexibility. Featuring more than 20 language options, this video slot is designed for an international audience looking to escape to a land where mythical creatures come to life. Certified by regulators in the UK, Isle of Man and Malta, Phoenix Gold will soon be available for play in Sweden, Romania, Bulgaria, Portugal and Denmark.
Richard Mintz, Commercial and Marketing Director at Pariplay, said: “In developing the graphics and game features for Phoenix Gold, we focused on integrating immersive and engaging elements, allowing players the chance to win in countless ways. Highlighting the mythological theme and story behind the phoenix, this latest addition from our game studio provides exciting multipliers and free spins options, all of which will encourage repeat play.”
