Lava Balls Slot Review

About the Game

Turn up the heat and collect all the world’s treasures in Lava Balls from Pragmatic Play. All symbols pay from left to right on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel.

Max Win

The maximum win in Lava Balls is capped at 4,800x the bet in both the main game and free spins. If the total win during the FREE SPINS round reaches 4,800x the bet, the round ends immediately, the winnings are awarded, and all remaining free spins are cancelled.

Symbol Wild

This is the WILD symbol, which substitutes for all other symbols except the SCATTER, LAVA BALL, BALL DROP, EXTRA FREE SPINS, and EXTRA POT VALUES. The WILD symbol appears on reels 2, 3, and 4.

Lava Balls Wild Multiplier

During the main game, seven pots are located at the bottom of the screen. Multipliers and FREE SPINS are randomly awarded on these pots with each spin. Possible multiplier values ​​are: x1, x2, x3, x5, x7, x8, x10, x12, x15, x20, x25, x30, x35, x40, x50, x75, x88, x100, x250, x500, and x1000.

Whenever at least one WILD symbol appears and is part of a winning combination, the ball falls along the pegged grid and lands in one of the seven pots at the bottom before any wins are awarded. If the ball lands in a pot with a multiplier, all WILD wins for that spin are multiplied by that multiplier. If the ball lands in the FREE SPINS pot, the FREE SPINS round is triggered.

• This symbol is SCATTER.

Free Spins

Landing 3 or more SCATTER symbols or landing a FREE SPINS pot as a result of a WILD win triggers the FREE SPINS round and awards 12 free spins. During the round, the pots at the bottom of the screen are randomly assigned a starting value.
