Phoenix DuelReels Slot Overview

Phoenix DuelReels is a casino slot from Hacksaw Gaming that puts you in the middle of an epic battle. Here, you will see the mythological Phoenix and Water Dragon fight to the death, brandishing their powers onto the reels through the titular DuelRees feature and the VS Symbols. We’ve seen this feature in multiple other well-known Hacksaw Gaming releases, such as Gladiator Legends and Warrior Ways, where these duels have led to huge win multipliers, reaching up to 200X. However, here we are not spectating any mere humans battling, as here the powers of legendary creatures give you even more chances of landing the lucrative VS Symbols through various Free Spins, Re-spins, and Gamble features. As the battle rages on, be ready to cash in on the volatile wins and inch ever closer to reaching the max win of 10,000X the bet.

Phoenix DuelReels Slot Information

The reels are set between the clashing of tall waves and scorching heat, and from here, we can see the Water Dragon and Phoenix in the background, staring down at each other. As you enter the Free Spins, you get a closer look at the creatures, seeing them in their natural environment after the battle has been finished. The game can be played on most desktops, notepads, and mobiles. Wins are made by landing 3 of the same symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. 

The lower-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A. Creating a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 1X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are green gems, blue goblets, Phoenix eggs, the Water Dragon, and the Phoenix. Landing a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 3X to 10X the bet. On the reels you’ll also be able to find Wilds and the VS Symbols, which will lead to a duel between the creatures, but more on that in the next section.

Wild Symbols

Wild Symbols help create winning combinations by being able to substitute for all symbols except VS Symbols and Scatter Symbols. 

VS Symbols

When a VS Symbol lands, it will expand into a Wild Dualreel symbol if it is part of a winning combination. After expanding, a duel will take place between the Water Dragon and Phoenix, each with its own multiplier. The surviving duelist will apply its multiplier to the expanded Wild and will affect any winning combination that includes the expanded DuelReel. The possible multiplier values range from 2X to 200X, and if more than one DuelReel is part of the same winning combination, their multipliers are added together before being applied to the win. 

Resurrection Spins

When the Phoenix loses the duel on at least one DuelReel, you will be awarded a Ressurection Spin re-spin. During this re-spin, you are guaranteed to land at least 1 VS Symbol. This process will repeat until a Phoenix wins a DuelReel. 

Fire and Water Free Spins

After landing 3 Scatter Symbols on the same spin, you will be awarded 10 initial Free Spins with an increased chance of landing more VS Symbols. Landing extra 2 or 3 extra Scatter Symbols during the feature awards +2 or +4 extra spins, respectively. 

Rise of the Phoenix Free Spins

After landing 4 Scatter Symbols on the same spin, you will be awarded 10 initial Free Spins with the same bonuses as the Fire and Water Free Spins. Additionally, you will also have enhanced Resurrection Spin re-spins where the amount of VS Symbols that land will be equal to the number of DuelReels on the triggering spin. Landing extra 2 or 3 extra Scatter Symbols during the feature awards +2 or +4 extra spins, respectively.

Gamble

When you are awarded either of the Free Spins bonuses, you will first be presented with the voice to start the features instantly or gamble. If you choose to gamble, 5 Phoenix Eggs will appear on the screen, containing extra spins or a Bonus Upgrade from Fire and Water Free Spins to Rise of the Phoenix bonus.

Phoenix DuelReels Slot Conclusion

Phoenix DuelReels is a volatile game centered on the titular DuelReels feature, which has pros and cons. This game seriously comes packing a punch; from its mystical theme and magical soundtrack, you can easily be dragged into this fantasy world and enjoy its fluid gameplay and volatile features. However, comparing this game to the two other previously mentioned examples, those being Gladiator Legends and Warrior Ways, this game doesn’t bring as much to the table to stand out in both theme and features. Hacksaw Gaming truly put its all into creating these games, and Phoenix DuelReels is no different, but it can feel as if something is missing when compared to those games that came before, especially since the two-year difference between releases. 

Moving to the gameplay section, we can start with the most attractive new feature, the Resurrection Spins, which can lead to crazy re-spins and a wave of VS Symbols, especially during the Rise of the Phoenix Free Spins. Outside of the re-spins, the VS Symbols are great at generating consistent wins, especially with the occasional huge multiplier that can turn any frown upside down. This is only enhanced during the Free Spins features, as the increased VS Symbols will only lead to more chances for huge multipliers and re-spins. There’s also the Gamble feature for those risk-takers looking to hunt down the lucrative 10,000X max win, giving you more chances of hitting it big in either of the Bonuses. 

Phoenix DuelReels comes with quick spins and quicker duels, leading to Expanded Wilds and huge Multipliers taking over the reels.
