Pioneering software provider’s latest Premium release sees players set out on a volcanic voyage where Free Spins and blazing Bloxx wins combine to seriously turn up the heat

Having already braved the frozen tundra of Bloxx Arctic in February, this month popular software providers, Swintt, are inviting players to join them in altogether warmer climes as they seek out fiery Free Spins and white-hot wins in the scorching new Premium release, Bloxx Flare.

A 5×3 video slot that features 30 fixed paylines, Bloxx Flare again uses the innovative dual-reel format that has become such a hallmark of the series. On the left-hand side, players will find a selection of staple symbols including playing card values, fireballs and a phoenix rising from the ashes, while on the right-hand reels they’ll see a range of coloured Bloxx icons displaying various bonus prize amounts.

In order to get their hands on any of these instant-win Bloxx bonuses, players will simply need to land dollar symbols on three or more adjacent reels starting from left-to-right. Should they manage this, all dollar signs on the left reels will release the prizes from the corresponding Bloxx spaces on the right-hand grid, with these values then being totalled up and awarded on top of any regular payouts.

In addition to this returning base game feature, Bloxx Flare also gives players the chance to trigger a Free Spins bonus round whenever they land three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the left-hand reels. When they activate the bonus they’ll initially receive 10 free games, with extra dollar symbols being added to the reels and the game’s wild symbol now also substituting for the dollar signs as well.

Naturally, this makes it far easier for players to trigger big Bloxx wins during the main feature, but as an added incentive for them making it there, any subsequent scatter symbols they land will also add a further Free Spin to their total. This way, players can prolong the duration of the bonus round indefinitely and improve their chances of winning the slot’s top award of 15 simultaneous Bloxx prizes.

With Bloxx Flare being another entry in Swintt’s Premium game line-up, players will be pleased to discover that the popular Risk feature also makes a welcome return. Available after any winning base game spin, this optional extra transports players to a new screen where they’ll be prompted to guess the colour or suit of a face-down playing card to double or quadruple their current prize respectively. Up to 10 rounds of Risk can be played, with a new round being available until players make an incorrect pick and return to the base game or build their prize all the way to the slot’s maximum 3,500x jackpot.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Bloxx Flare is the fourth title in our popular series of dual-reel slots and again gives players the chance to blaze their way to bumper bonus prizes.
“A sizzling addition to our Premium line-up, Bloxx Flare combines simple, intuitive gameplay with our rewarding Bloxx payout system to ensure big wins are never far away. Top it all off with a fiery Free Spins feature and the slot has everything that’s required to be another scorching success for Swintt.”
