Yggdrasil has released Firekick! Multimax to raise World Cup fever among slot players ahead of the tournament.

Yggdrasil, Firekick! Multimax

The highly volatile, five-reel release features 243 paylines and gives players a chance of winning 10,000x their stake through unlimited multipliers, an avalanche feature and Firekicks.

Players can rack up wins in Firekick! Multimax via the Multimax mechanic. This sees reel multipliers increase by either one, two or three every time a wild symbol appears.

When players form winning paylines, the reel multiplier will automatically multiply its overall win.

Stuart McCarthy, head of product & programmes at Yggdrasil, said: “We’ve well and truly got World Cup fever here at Yggdrasil and we’re delighted to kick off the global festival of football with the release of our latest slot Firekick! MultiMax.

"There was a lot of love shown for previous MultiMax titles including Multifly! MultiMax, Crystal Falls MultiMax and MexoMax! MultiMax, so naturally we’re expecting big things for this fantastic new release.”

Whenever a winning spin occurs, the winning symbols are removed from the reels to allow new ones to fall into place.

This means more lucrative combinations can be formed, leading to even more wins.

Firekick! Multimax also contains a free spins feature, which can be activated when three or more scatter symbols land on the reels. In this mode, players take penalties against a goalkeeper.

During the penalty shootout, the slot’s namesake feature Firekick! can occur. Any penalty finds its way into the back of the net, even if the wrong direction was chosen by the player.
