Going from 243 up to 7,776 ways to win, this Phoenix Sun mobile slot from Quickspin provides some explosive fiery reel action.
What will makes this Quickspin Phoenix Sun slot appealing straight off, is the fact that you start off with 243 ways to win, but can unlock more ways to win and increase your odds thanks to special symbols.
Some of you may be familiar with the concept if you’ve played games like the Reel Rush slot; the only difference being the shape of the unlocked reels and the amount of ways to win.
Set in a time of the legendary mythological everlasting burning bird, here you will find an initial 5×3 reel layout, with an additional ‘locked’ golden 5×3 reel layout above it.
Find a special Phoenix Wild symbol in a winning combination, and some of the golden blocks with be destroyed, revealing more symbols underneath and more ways to win.
Very much like in the Crystal Queen slot from the same video slot game provider.
Find five of the special wilds in a row, and you’ll trigger the bonus feature and unlock the complete 7,776 ways to win, where the possibility of big wins is just one fiery spin away.
This bird can be a little elusive however. You’ll find that you can go a good 10 spins or so without finding a win, and when you eventually do, the win can often be less than your bet. That is until you start unlocking more of those ways to win.
Which is easier said than done. We’ve had some luck finding those wilds and getting to the free spins bonus in around 20 – 40 spins, but at other times it can take a good 100 – 120. This casino game is a fickle creature and acts more like a high variance slot than a medium variance one.
However, when you do reach the free spin games you are in for a treat. With 7,776 ways to win, your odds of getting a decent return increase dramatically, thanks to those 5×6 reel layout.
Don’t get us wrong; on average you can expect to win between 20x and 50x your total bet back, not astounding but enough to keep your balance ticking along.
However, every once in a while this little fire cracker can flame up and send your wallet spinning with wins.
A fun Quickspin slot game but one that will need some patience to see you through those lean base game spins.

This Phoenix Sun slot on mobile, due to the size of the reels, does look a little small on phones compared to some of the other video slots online.
However, with those unlocking reels and a free spins round that has 7,776 ways to win, it's certainly very enjoyable to play.
With great, if simple, graphics and sounds, along with a betting range of 0.25 up to 100 per spin, this Phoenix Sun game allows all a chance to spin.
If this ancient mythological slot theme isn't quite what you are looking, we'd also recommend Quickspin's other great slots including The Wilds Chase and Big Bad Wolf.
