Developed by Ainsworth, the October 2019 video slot Arabian Fire merges the Greek mythology and Arabic culture. Formally titled Arabian Fire Loaded with Loot; its basis is the mythic self-cremating and rebirthing bird named phoenix, whose Arabic offshoot is a balsam tree-feeding bird regionally named Anqa.
Other themes: jewelry, treasure, gemstones, romance, and inferno. Arabian Fire has: two self-multiplying win multipliers, eighteen symbols, four jackpots, 25 fixed winning ways, eleven (X1 to X200) bonus bet multipliers, collectible opals, two sets of re-triggerable free games, and +1 to +3 free games.
For either base or free games’ payouts: one symbol (woman) needs two to five-of-a-kind, paying from X0.08 to X6; while nine symbols (treasure chest, heart, leaf, crescent, 9, 10, J, K, and Q) require three to five-of-a-kind, paying from X0.20 to X100.

3+ chests yield six free spins (periwinkle-reeled), wherein the anqa “X3” and anqa “X5” birds (self-multiplying win multipliers) start appearing. Regular/free games that draw 5+ gold opals prompt four free games, with potential +1, +2, or +3 free games’ symbols.
The landed gold/silver opals also show, at random, calculated credits of: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X10, X15, X25, X50, X100, or X200 bet multipliers. Sometimes, the drawn opals are marked as “mini”, “minor”, or “major”.
Drawing 5+ gold opals prompts the four-free-round “Loaded with Loot Feature”, wherein the unlocking and all silver/gold/credited opals drawn henceforth are hurled to the five circular voids stacked along the right margin.
Newly hurled opals occupy the circles top-to-down, progressively pushing away the former opals that enter the adjacent golden vault, which then emits the summed wins—a $40.00 mini jackpot; or, a $200.00 minor jackpot; or, a $200.00 major jackpot.
Also, all drawn golden opals end up in the golden-framed pyramid’s ten cells (top right), wherein ten collections yield the $30000.00 grand jackpot.
An HTML5 game, the mobile/desktop-enabled Arabian Fire has: varying 5-25, or 10-100 auto spins; and whooshing, ringing, strumming, dinging, and Arabian flute sound effects.
The animated 3D graphics: rocking, hurled opals, glittering, glowing, gushing gems, flapping and burning anqa, self-opening and blazing vault, and spinning spoke handle.
