Playtech's signature 'Hold and Respin' feature where you collect and lock special symbols to aim for a 4-tiered fixed jackpot.

Fire Blaze™ is the most representative 'Hold and Respin' style jackpot bonus system operated by the developer Playtech.

Similar to Wazdan's 'Hold the Jackpot™', this is a unique brand feature created by Playtech to give their games a distinct identity.

The core of this feature is to collect special bonus symbols with cash values (usually coins or pearls) on the screen through multiple respin chances, and ultimately to win one of the four fixed jackpot tiers.

How It Works

Tsai Shen's Gift by Playtech, which features the Fire Blaze™ system

Start of the Bonus Game

The feature is triggered when 6 to 8 'Instant Prize Symbols' (e.g., pearls, coins) appear on the reels during the base game, and you enter the 'Fire Blaze Respin' bonus game.

Hold and 3 Respin Chances

The instant prize symbols that appeared initially are held in place, and the player is given 3 respin chances.

Respin Counter Reset

While the respins are in progress, if a new instant prize symbol appears in an empty space, that symbol is also held in place, and the respin count is reset back to 3.

Winning the Jackpot

Among the instant prize symbols that appear during the bonus, there can be 'MINI', 'MINOR', and 'MAJOR' jackpot symbols. If you succeed in filling all 15 positions on the screen with symbols, you will win the 'GRAND' jackpot, which is the top prize of the game.

Player Value

Brand Consistency and Trust

Players can instantly recognize, "Ah, this is that fun Hold and Respin jackpot game I know!" just by seeing the 'Fire Blaze™' logo.

This provides a high level of trust and a consistent play experience for Playtech games.

A Clear Goal and the Fun of Collecting

It presents a very intuitive and powerful goal of 'filling all the positions to win the Grand Jackpot', which gives a high sense of immersion to the process of collecting symbols one by one.

The Dramatic Tension of the Reset

The thrill when a new symbol appears and the chance is reset to 3 again, just when you're down to your last respin and think it's all over, is the biggest appeal of this feature.
