Alchemy Gaming is known for incorporating jackpot prize wheels into their slot games, and 25000 Talons is no exception. However, this game offers much more than just that feature. The North American animal theme is decent, with a backdrop of the snow-capped Rockies. The Fire Spin feature adds excitement to the base game by awarding potential full screen premium symbol wins. It’s even possible to land Bonus Wheel Jackpots worth up to 25,000 times your stake from this feature. The free spins round, known as Fire Spins, only includes the pre-chosen Fire Symbol and can be upgraded using Level Up symbols. There’s plenty to explore in this game, including premium animal symbols that pay out up to 25 times your stake, a Wild symbol that pays out 50 times your stake, and a Fire Trail on the left-hand side that displays symbols in chronological order. The Fire Spin feature randomly triggers, choosing a symbol from the Fire Trail to become stacked on reels 1 and 2 while merging reels 3, 4, and 5 to only allow for 3×3 giant symbols. Premium symbols, including the Wild, can land as 3×3 symbols during this feature. Additionally, a giant 3×3 Wheel Symbol can appear during Fire Spins, triggering the Wheel Bonus Game. This awards one spin on the giant Bonus Wheel, guaranteeing one of four jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega. The Free Spins bonus round is triggered by landing three or more golden eagle emblem scatters, and players can choose from three options based on the number of scatters. Each free spin operates like the Fire Spin feature, with a stacked fire trail symbol on reels 1 and 2 and 3×3 giant symbols on the remaining reels. A talon Level Up symbol can also appear, granting four extra free spins and upgrading the stacked Fire Trail symbol. However, the Level Up symbol only grants extra spins if the Wild symbol is already sticky and stacked on reels 1 and 2. While playing the base game, smaller wins can occur sporadically, and the bonus round can be triggered after some time. The North American animal theme may not be the most exciting, but it provides a refreshing outdoor setting. Alchemy Gaming has experimented with similar concepts in previous releases, such as 10000 Wishes, but 25000 Talons takes it to a new level. The Fire Spin feature offers regular payouts of up to 500 times your stake, providing a thrilling break from the somewhat repetitive gameplay. The Jackpot Wheel feature is a heart-stopping moment but usually results in the smaller jackpots. However, the 25,000 times Mega Jackpot is a significant improvement from 10000 Wishes, and the Fire Spin Free Spins round adds a new dimension to the game. Climbing the Fire Trail can be an exhilarating experience, especially with sticky stacked wilds guaranteeing wins. Pros: Exciting Fire Spin feature, potential for high payouts, thrilling bonus round. Cons: North American animal theme may be bland to some players. Similar games from Alchemy Gaming include 10000 Wishes, Chronicles of Olympus X UP, and Bison Battle, each offering unique features and gameplay with the potential for big wins.
