Area Link Phoenix is a medium-volatility mythology-themed slot game from Area Vegas with 5x3 reels and 20 paylines. The return to player is 96.46 percent. You will accumulate fireballs that could activate the Area Link bonus round, and you can earn up to three Phoenix Upgrades during the same feature. You can also win rewards worth up to 5,000 times your wager.
For 5 of a kind wins, the premium symbols, which consist of gems and a golden feather symbol, pay between 2 and 5 times your wager. Presumably, the feathers belong to the Phoenix, which functions as the game's Wild symbol. The wild will appear stacked on all five reels to help complete winnings by substituting for pay symbols, and it pays 10 times your bet for five on a payline.
You can land three fireball symbols of different colours, which are accumulated in the corresponding egg above the grid. Each time this occurs, you have a chance to activate the Area Link ability, and the combination of fireballs that activate the ability will determine the Phoenix Upgrade modifiers you receive.
When the Area Link feature activates, you receive three respins and the inciting fireballs become sticky on an otherwise cleared grid. Each time a new fireball symbol appears, it too becomes sticky, and the number of respins is reset to three. The fireball symbols award cash prizes, and it is possible to capture three distinct jackpot symbols.
These are the Mini, Minor, and Major jackpot symbols, which award 10, 20, and 500 times your wager, respectively. Filling all positions concludes the feature, and this results in the 5,000x Grand Jackpot being awarded.
Otherwise, the feature concludes when you run out of respins, at which point your total compensation is calculated. As stated, the feature will activate with at least one of the following three Phoenix Upgrades:
