Lava Balls Slot Gameplay

Pragmatic Play has teamed up with one of its regular partners, Wild Streak Gaming, for the release of Lava Balls.

The game leans heavily on Greek mythology in terms of its design, just like some of the most popular slot games in the world. Lava Balls has a striking look with great animations, and the usual low-paying icons of card symbols are in place on the reels.

Various Greek mythology icons are also included as the higher-paying slot symbols.

Wilds can pop up on each of the three middle reels on the Lava Balls slot game, swapping in for any other symbol that can appear.

Players will immediately notice when firing up Lava Balls by Pragmatic Play for the first time the seven pots that are located at the bottom of the reels.

Lava Balls Slot Features

Those pots come into play when assessing the Lava Balls slot features that Pragmatic Play and Wild Streak Gaming have included in their latest collaboration.

When a wild symbol helps build a winning combination, a ball drops from the top of the reels and falls into one of the pots at the bottom, producing free spins or a multiplier.

Lava Balls also drop in a Plinko-style game at the end of the bonus game, which can be triggered by earning free spins by landing at least three scatter symbols.

The ball drop adds drama to the Lava Balls free spins bonus game.

Players get 12 free spins to kick off the Lava Balls bonus round and it is also possible to earn more of them during the mini-game as well.

The ball drop symbol on the right-hand side of the reels counts up how many balls will be released, while cash amounts can drop to increase the money in the pots.

A bonus buy option can also be used to skip the base game, go straight through to the Lava Balls bonus game, and try out the free spins feature.

Mixing slot features with Plinko-style gameplay means that Lava Balls looks a sure-fire hit.
