Slot machine details and review Lava Burst
Lava Burst is one of the more unusual slots you can find and play at an Evoplay casino right now. It’s not a typical release, as it lacks the usual means to form regular combinations, but you still get 4×3 reels to spin, and a bonus game that you’re trying to get to by landing bonus symbols on the middle row. Theme-wise, we’re looking at volcano-inspired design, so fire is a big part of it.
Every slot machine must be developed by a company that invented, designed and put it into operation. Many players eventually find that they only enjoy playing on machines from specific software provider, so they narrow down their selection by preferred brand.
A high volatility slot. Wins are rare, but can be really big. The game has more pronounced fluctuations and can often go without hitting anything for a long time, suitable for players who like adrenaline, higher risk and work with a larger budget. More about volatility here.
Slot theme and symbols
In Lava Burst, the action takes place right next to an erupting volcano, whose lava is flowing from the top, still visible even behind the reels. It’s not much of a design otherwise, as this is a 4-reel online slot that gives you a chance to trigger a bonus game, but it doesn’t have any regular symbols that can land on its reels. It’s a mix of coins and asteroid or black hole-inspired symbols that you will see, but often enough, it will be a blank position that is available to you (you’re not guaranteed symbols in all spots on those reels).
Lava Burst theme and symbols
The gameplay is not that easy for the player. It’s considered a slot with high volatility, where you don’t form regular combinations, and so you don’t get paid during its regular spins. The only way to claim a prize is by reaching the bonus game, and so the 2.75% hit rate makes sense. On the other hand, it’s capable of paying as much as 9,419x the stake during its Ultra bonus game, or up to 4,455x for the regular bonus game. The RTP is also OK, at 96.27%, but that’s more of a long-term thing.

Bonus Coin
This is one of the more common symbols that you can get on the reels. It’s a gold coin with a silver outline, which comes with one of four possible values, ranging from 1x to 4x.
Heavy Coin
The Heavy Coins are red in the middle and have a gold outline. This one’s offered during paid spins only, and carries prizes from 5x to 9x the stake.
Mystic Symbol
A Mystic symbol can show up and will be used as a mystery symbol during the main features. It will turn into any other symbol at the end of the feature, so it can be exciting when it gives you something good.
Mystic Jackpot symbol
There is also a Mystic Jackpot variant, also for the main features, and it can turn into one of three jackpots of lower value: Mini (25x), Minor(50x), or Major (100x).
Black Hole symbol
The Black Hole is a symbol that can show up at any time, even during paid spins, and it acts as a collector for the jackpots and prizes that are part of the visible bonus symbols.
Lava Burst
Lava Burst is the name of a special modifier that you can get at random as you’re playing through a round in the bonus game or in the ultra version. It will shoot up to 12 fire comets to the reels, in random positions, and give them a 2x multiplier. If there is already a multiplier in a position, then it adds 1x to it. You will use the position’s multiplier on any prizes that may land within.
Bonus Game
Reaching the bonus game is possible whenever you have the middle row occupied by 4 symbols, of any type, during paid spins. You keep the triggering bonus symbols, and then you get 3 spins where you try to get more. You can get either blank positions or bonus symbols. If new bonus symbols land, the number of spins resets to 3. At the end of the feature, you get paid for each bonus symbol, using its prize and any available position multipliers to decide how much you claim. The Grand Jackpot, worth 1,000x, is paid if you have all 12 bonus symbols.
Ultra Bonus Game
The Ultra version of the bonus game triggers the same way as the regular one, but it can also trigger randomly. The Lava Burst modifier, with its multipliers, will trigger more often for this feature.
Bonus Buy
With the Bonus Buy option, you can choose which major feature you trigger. You can pay 32x the stake and get the bonus game, or you can go for the 100x option and trigger the Ultra bonus game.

Our rating of the game
Lava Burst
It’s hardly a unique proposition, and we’ve seen a lot of other slots released in recent years that use this Hold and Win-style main feature as the only way to get paid. It’s not something a casual player should consider, since it can take dozens of rounds, on average, before you see any prize from it. On the other hand, when the bonus game triggers, the rewards do tend to be better, but that’s what makes it a high volatility slot. Wins of up to 9,419x the stake make it sound good, as does the 96.27% RTP. When deciding whether to take it on, keep in mind that it has a 2.75% hit rate (1 in about 35 spins pays something).

How do we rate slot machines?
We evaluate slot machines based on multiple criteria, from which we make our final verdict.
It’s entirely built around a Hold and Win respin feature, so it’s great for fans of this mechanic.
It has a 96.27% RTP, so regardless of the typical experience of a player, it is fair overall.
Wins of up to 9,419x the stake can be expected inside, though that’s only for the Ultra bonus game.
Both regular and Ultra versions of the bonus game, with multipliers more plentiful in the latter.
There is that Bonus Buy option, which you can use if you want to skip the boring part.
Cons
It doesn’t have enough interesting symbols, and like all others in this category, you’re going to look at a lot of blank positions.
The volatility will be High, so even though it can pay well, a lot of spins will be losers.
You need multipliers to get the bigger wins, as the Grand Jackpot pays at most 1,000x.
