Burning Desire

Burning Desire is not only a provocatively titled new video slot from Microgaming - it's also a completely new concept in a slots game. What's so new and unusual about this game - especially in a world of over-hyped games marketing? Well, this slot has no paylines. Sounds confusing, right? Well, what MGS has come up with is the concept of "ways to win", instead of paylines.

Burning Desire Slot works by treating all symbols as adjacent scatters. Winning combinations are calculated on the fly - a winning combination is one where winning symbols appear from left to right, starting on reel one, with further winning symbols on each of the other reels in any position - at the top, in the middle, or at the bottom. This works out to 243 possible winning combinations. As if that isn't enough to help you win, there is a Wild symbol - the Game Logo, as well as multipliers. There is also a Gamble feature to boost your wins.

The game also has a free spins feature. It's triggered if you get 3 or more gold coins on any of the reels. You are awarded 15 free spins wherein all wins are tripled. The coin sizes that you can bet are from 1c to $1 and you can bet up to 10 coins at at time. Because there are no set paylines, there is instead a WagerMultiplier, which acts on the coins you bet - you can bet up to 25 times your number of coins, making up a mazimum bet of $250. It's the same as if you bet 10 coins across 25 lines. In return, expect to win a maximum of 30,000 coins in normal play (a maximum of $30,000) - and because of the 3x multiplier in the free spins feature this can rise to 90,000 coins ($90,000).

A new concept that is lots of fun to play and very lucrative indeed. Hats off to Microgaming once again.
