Fire Hawk Slots

Native Americans have captured the world's imagination for hundreds of years, and the Fire Hawk slots game proves that even slot fans aren't immune to their appeal. PartyGaming capitalizes on this curiosity with their Fire Hawk slot machine. Overall, the Fire Hawk online slots are pretty bare bones, but the game's popular (and surprisingly rare) Indian theme adds the extra intrigue necessary to carry the game.

Fire Hawk slots have five reels and 20 paylines, but players can only wager a single credit per line for a maximum bet of 20 coins. With betting denominations that range from a penny up to $2 a credit, even the max bet is pretty small at $40/spin. We wish we could say the game's graphics save it from mediocrity, but even they are middle of the road.

Fire Hawk Slots Review

While we readily admit that we're drawn to the Fire Hawk slot machine's historical back story, they really drop the ball by using the usual 9-A symbols which are not only boring but are confusingly bright beside the primary colors of the themed symbols. The chief symbol is a wild and a multiplier but only appears on two reels. A Fire Hawk slots combination completed with a single wild will be multiplied 4x while a combination that includes both wilds receives an 8x multiplier. Five of the squaw symbols will earn you a jackpot of 6000 coins, but with all the Fire Hawk slots casinos offering a max credit value of only $2 that translates to a jackpot of only $12,000. You can see, then, how getting a wild on the line will greatly improve your payouts.

About the only added appeal that the Fire Hawk online slots have is via their bonus. The Fire Hawk symbol from which the game borrows its name acts as a scatter. Get three or more Fire Hawk slot machine scatters, and you'll earn 10-20 free spins at 2x-4x. You'll get the least amount of spins but the highest multiplier for three Fire Hawks and more spins but a lower multiplier for four or five.

Thus far, none of the Fire Hawk slots casinos have attempted to fluff up the game by adding even a small progressive jackpot, and we've yet to see it included in any slot tournaments. Overall, while we admit that the Fire Hawk slot machine is attractive, it offers very little long-term entertainment value. Decide for yourself at the Virgin Casino or PartyCasino. We rate the Fire Hawk online slots a relatively weak 7.75 out of 10.
