Burning Desire the hottest (and only) zero-payline online slot
The Os Man didn’t fully get the whole “zero-payline” concept billed as “revolutionary” in new online slot Burning Desire, but after playing a few spins realized this could be fun…
Here’s how it goes: Trip three of any given symbol on the first three reels and you score a winner, effectively employing even the lowly 9s and 10s of the poker-run symbols as pseudo-scatters; any symbols from reels four and five dragged into a winner also count. Also herein is a WILD and the more typical SCATTER.
The result is an online slot with fewer individual wins for small amounts, but compensatorily more large-payout spins are to be had: addictive!
And Burning Desire looks, as we once said, marvelous. The always-attractive clean black background is host to a colorful poker run, pub-fruity bells and a splendid fat red rose. The animation bringing the WILD logo symbol to life is gorgeous, too: That’s actual filmed fire. (Or a scarily accurate computer recreation.) Background music alternates between bubble-gum metal and slot muzak, and the free spins round features an original theme song presumably called – you guessed it – “Burning Desire.”
Time will tell whether the zero-payline innovation sticks or is even built upon (imagine the negative-one payliner…), but for now Microgaming casinos have got a sweet new machine.
