Mega Fire Blaze Blackjack: Our Review, How and Where to Play

The base Mega Fire Blaze Blackjack game consists of two hands with a one-to-many setup. This means that an unlimited number of players can join and play at the same time. All of the cards are shared between players. However, your decisions are separate from everyone else’s. Basically, you can decide whether to Hit, Stand, Double, or Split regardless of what other people do.

Both hands work this way, but they are technically identical. You can choose to play both or either – it doesn’t really matter. The base game uses fairly standard Vegas-style rules. This means the dealer always stands on a soft 17 or above. You can double after a split, but you can’t re-split. Insurance is also an option in case of a dealer Ace, but it’s as bad as always.

Mega Fire Blaze Bonus

The Mega Fire Blaze Bonus sets this game apart from standard Playtech blackjack, so it’s quite important. It can also seem complicated at first, but it really isn’t.

First of all, you have to qualify for the bonus. Only players who place the bet will take part in the bonus round if it triggers. The bonus payouts depend on the size of the stake you use for the bonus bet. The bets you used for the main blackjack bet are irrelevant. However, only players who have a main bet can place a bonus bet and participate in the round.

Now, deciding whether the bonus round kicks off or not comes down to a system of points. If certain conditions are met, points are awarded which decide whether the bonus round plays or not.

The more points you collect, the bigger the eventual bonus prize.

Playtech calls these conditions Achievements. Here is how you can win Achievement points in Mega Fire Blaze Blackjack.

• Player hands with a total score of 14. If the cards in one (or both) player hands total exactly 14, you get 2 Achievement points. If both player hands total 14, you get 6.
• Dealer Aces. 2 points for one Ace in the dealer’s hand, 6 points for two.
• Number of cards in the dealer’s hand at the end of the round. If the dealer draws 4 or more cards, you get a lot of points. To be specific – 1 point for 4 cards, 7 points for 5 cards, and 12 points for 6 cards.

A higher achievement point score allows you to get higher bonuses. These are divided into levels – Minor, Mini, Major, Grand, and Mega. Basically, the higher the bonus level, the bigger the multiplier potential.

Once the actual round kicks off, all players with a Bonus bet participate. It looks and works like a small slot game. The grid always has 3 rows, but the number of ‘reels’ or segments depends on the bonus level, ranging from 1 to 6.

The bonus round has three “spins” during which multipliers may randomly drop to one of the positions on the segments. If a multiplier sticks to a position, it stays there and the number of spins resets to 3. This goes on until three spins happen with no multipliers sticking or the entire board is filled.

If all three positions in a segment are filled, an extra multiplier appears on top of it. It increases the multipliers on that segment, boosting the final payout. Also, an entire segment can randomly receive a Star multiplier up to 100x, but only on higher bonus levels.

The table below explains all the details. This includes the number of achievement points required, the maximum multiplier range, and the individual multiplier ranges for everything we just explained.
