Ultimate Fire Link Olvera Street review

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

Olvera Street is a Mexican marketplace in the heart of Los Angeles, so it makes sense that this game has a real fiesta atmosphere. The game is set against a vibrant market backdrop where you'd be able to find everything from chilies to avocados to traditional clothes. The grid and symbols are extremely colorful, setting the scene for an exciting game.

The base game doesn't have too many sound effects, but you'll want to get your dancing shoes on if you get into the Fire Link round. The music kicks into high gear, with a mix of traditional Mexican instruments to get you ready for a party.

Gameplay

Wins pay out when at least three of the same symbols land on adjacent reels from left to right, starting with reel number one. There are 50 fixed paylines active every time you spin. The highest-paying symbol is the bell, which also acts as the Wild. A skull and a delicious plate of tacos are amongst other high-paying symbols, while numbers and letters pay out smaller wins.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

The first thing to keep an eye out for is the Wild symbols, which we've already mentioned. Wilds can land anywhere on the grid, and they substitute for other regular symbols.

The Fire Link feature is by far the most entertaining part of this game. During the base game, four or more of the fireball symbols will trigger the Fire Link round, which begins with three Respins. The aim is to fill up the entire grid with fireball symbols. The grid also expands as you land more of the special symbols.

Each fireball symbol displays a value, which depends on where it lands. If a fireball symbol lands on row eight during the special feature, you'll have a chance to win the Mega jackpot of up to 10,000x your stake.

The game also comes with a Free Spins round, which triggers if you get enough of the Scatter symbols on reels two, three, and four. Your 10 Free Spins come with a 2x Multiplier, and they can be re-triggered by landing more Scatters.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

With a minimum bet amount of $/€/£0.20 per spin and a maximum of $/€/£80, the Mega jackpot can reach up to $/€/£800,000. The total maximum win on a single spin stands at 11,091x your stake. The Return to Player (RTP) percentage is 95.97%, which is very slightly below the average benchmark of 96%, and the volatility of the game is medium, which doesn't match with the highly volatile games we usually recommend.

Conclusion

The Fire Link feature makes this game stand out and puts it on par with other titles in the series. The expanding game grid during the special round makes for more exciting play than in the base game, and we liked the fact that there are four fixed jackpots. We were disappointed with the RTP of the game, but it's worth noting that the RTP does actually reach the 96% range if you use the Bonus Buy feature to purchase the Free Spins round.
