Push Gaming sets the reels ablaze in Fire Hopper
Following a successful beta launch with tier-one partner Entain on its leading brands including Ladbrokes, Bwin and PartyCasino, Fire Hopper is the latest in a string of recent player-first hits such as Fat Drac and Mount Magmas.
Set in a seemingly tranquil countryside pond at the foot of a waterfall, Fire Hopper features a mysterious fire frog, which promises vibrant play and great win potential.
The base game utilises a 7×7 reel set with a cluster paying mechanic on five or more clusters. When wins occur, the winning symbols are removed and a new cascade begins.
If the frog symbols appear at the same time as a firefly, the Fire Frog leaps onto it and transforms it into a Wild Golden Frog, increasing the multiplier for each leap it makes. A combination of the Frog and an instant prize symbol awards the player instant wins of anything up to 1000x, but combined with multipliers wins in general gameplay can reach the dizzy heights of 50,000x.
Land a bonus scatter along with a frog symbol in order to trigger the free spins game where seven free spins are awarded and any multipliers already accumulated are carried through to the free spins bonus round.
The action is awash with vibrant colours and spectacular animation as play progressively becomes more action-packed amid cascading lily pads, fiery frogs and golden treasure.
“While the tone may be a shift from previous games, the gameplay and win potential will offer players another level of entertainment in a cluster pays game,” said James Marshall, CEO at Push Gaming.
“Our team has done an incredible job with the design and as a result, the game looks and plays brilliantly, especially on mobile. Creating something that is a little bit different is what we do at Push and with each release, operators and players can be confident that our entertainment-focused approach will always run at the core of our games.”
“Fire hopper is exactly the kind of game exclusive we like to host,” said Alex Ratcliffe, head of slots at Entain.
“During its beta period with us, the contemporary design & subtle physics of the game really shone, and it really grabbed the attention of our players, It’s this level of polish and innovation we expect from a studio like Push and the quality we seek for our loyal players. It’s been a successful launch and we look forward to working together again in the future.”
