Firefly Frenzy Slot Review

Firefly Frenzy is a video slot from Play’n GO with 5 reels and 30 paylines. Released in July 2019, this game can be played at online casinos such as Casumo, ComeOn! or LeoVegas.

Theme and basic information

With Firefly Frenzy we get an almost magical theme. The scene is set at night in a forest with fireflies swirling around and the plants giving of bio-luminescent lights. The music is calm and light, a little playful here and there and makes for easy listening in the background. You almost have to be careful that it won’t put you to sleep. The whole atmosphere in this slot is quite dreamy.

On the reels we get beautiful flowers, mushrooms, fireflies and card suit symbols (diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades). The orange flower is the most valuable symbol, paying 30x our stake for 5 on a payline. The blue flower is worth 10x our stake for such a win. The pink flower is still worth 5x our stake for 5 on a payline and the purple mushroom pays out 5x our stake as well.

The fireflies are the wild symbols in the game, where 5 regular green firefly wilds on a payline pay out 30x our stake as well.

You can play this game from as little as 0.30 per spin to as much as 90.00 per spin.

Multiplier fireflies

The most important feature in the base game are the multiplier fireflies. The regular firefly will not have a multiplier, but two other firefly wilds have a 2x or 3x multiplier, respectively.

The multiplier wilds on a single payline will combine to give us even bigger combined multipliers. If you get multiple 3x multipliers it can look something like this:

• Two 3x multiplier wilds = 9x (3×3)
• Three 3x multiplier wilds = 27x (3x3x3)
• Four 3x multiplier wilds = 81x (3x3x3x3)
• Five 3x multiplier wilds – 243x (3x3x3x3x3)

The maximum multiplier you can get in a single win is therefore 243x. It’s not something you’ll get a lot, if at all.

By the way, those fireflies don’t just spin around on the reels. They fly onto the reels and land on other symbols, which is beautifully done.

Free spin frenzy

The scatter in the game is the full moon. Instead of collecting at least three scatters to trigger the free spins, a firefly needs to land on the moon to activate 8 free spins. If the firefly had a multiplier, that multiplier will be applied on all wins during the free spins.

During the free spin feature, more wilds are likely to land on the reels and it is possible to retrigger the feature, if a firefly lands once again on the moon scatter.

It’s possible to win 10,000x your stake in this game.

Conclusion: A beautiful slot that may not keep its multiplier promise

The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) of Firefly Frenzy is 96%. That’s a solid average and not very impressive. The game is also very volatile (and which Play’n GO game isn’t?). Whilst we can get, in theory, a combined 243x multiplier and win 10,000x our stake, you’ll have to play a long time and invest a lot of money before you might see the full potential of the game.

Unless you are extremely lucky, of course. And that’s not something we can actually count on. You can be lucky here and there and see some combined multipliers. If that happens early on in your gameplay, you’re inclined to continue. And triggering the free spins wasn’t too difficult either. We managed to win 100x our stake, though that was still a rare event.

Firefly frenzy is a very pretty game and it is quite simple in gameplay. But whatever promises it makes, it has difficulties keeping them.
