Fénix da Lava

PopOK Gaming Fénix da Lava Demo

Three reels, and the middle one is taller. Fénix da Lava stacks five rows between two reels of three, and that shape tells you how the slot works before you press spin. Coins land on the short outer reels. The Collect lands only in the middle.

A volcano erupts behind the reels under a purple-pink sky, with lava glowing through cracks in the rock below. A grey stone frame with orange light in its seams holds the reels. To the left, a fiery orange-red phoenix perches on cracked rock with its wings raised, and on the right, the molten logo is above four jackpot boxes in red, purple, blue, and green. The regular symbols stay on theme, from a phoenix-head Wild and a gold ingot down to lava eggs, a green lantern, and a rainbow feather.

Features and Free Play

Coins on the Outer Reels

Bonus coins appear on reels 1 and 3. Each one shows a value from 1x to 15x the bet. Jackpot coins marked Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand belong to the same family, and the Bonus Game trigger counts them on reels 1 and 3 in the same way as Bonus coins. The phoenix Wild has a narrower role. It replaces the regular symbols, excluding Bonus, Collect, and Jackpot symbols, so its work stays on the 15 lines.

Collect on Reel 2

Collect symbols can land on reel 2 only, the five-row reel in the middle. The Collect is a large gold coin embossed with a bird’s head in profile. When one appears, it gathers every Bonus and Jackpot symbol on the board, and several can land at the same time, each gathering all of them.

The same symbol opens the feature. A Collect on reel 2 while at least one Bonus or Jackpot coin is on reels 1 and 3 unlocks the Bonus Game. In free play, that makes the board easy to read. A coin on an outer reel is half the job, and the middle reel decides the rest.

Volcano Respins

Once the Bonus Game starts, the regular symbols leave the reels, and only Bonus, Collect, and Jackpot symbols appear while it lasts. The feature plays out as respins on a counter marked 1, 2, and 3. The Volcano does two separate things here: resetting the respin counter to 3 and, when it erupts, activating multipliers on random cells. Each Collect that lands on the middle reel gathers all the Bonus and Jackpot symbols on the board, just as it does in regular play, and with the lanterns, eggs, and goblets gone, every respin comes down to fresh coins on reels 1 and 3, a Collect between them, and whatever the Volcano adds on top.

Grand to Mini Coins

The four jackpots are set multiples of the stake. Grand is worth 1000x, Major 150x, Minor 50x, and Mini 25x, and each is won as a Jackpot coin that a Collect gathers like any other coin. Their boxes form a column right of the grid, keeping the top prizes in view.

Three Buys and Fenix Spins

The Buy Bonus button opens three flame-bordered cards. The Bonus Game is priced at 50x, the Super Bonus Game at 100x, and the Mega Bonus Game at 250x. Fenix Spins is a different thing, a bet mode with its own toggle. Switched on, it raises the cost of a spin to 15x and guarantees at least one Collect symbol on reel 2 and at least one Bonus symbol landing on reel 1 or 3 on every spin.

As a compact collect slot, this is close to a model of the format. Splitting the coins and the Collect across separate reels makes the trigger readable at a glance, and the Bonus Game strips the reels down to the symbols that matter. The weak spots are the line pays, where three Wilds are the best result at 25x, and the two higher buy tiers, which come with prices and no explanation of what they add over the 50x Bonus Game. Rico Gorila, PopOK’s 3-4-3 game, also uses a taller middle reel. Fénix da Lava gives that extra height a job of its own.
