Gameburger Studios, in partnership with Microgaming, brings us its newest brainchild, 9 Masks of Fire. While you wouldn’t guess from the title, this slot blends classic slot machine icons with an African tribal theme. Gameburger is known for their creative approach, and now they’ve developed something that feels both fresh and familiar, at the same time. Somewhat surprisingly, the focus here is on the tribal masks and other thematic elements, rather than wildlife, adding a cultural touch to the slot.
9 Masks of Fire features a 5x3 grid with 20 paylines, ensuring plenty of chances to possibly form winning combinations. Players can start spinning with a minimum bet of 0.20 per spin, which is something we’ve come to consider a standard across the industry.
Gameburger Studios has a reputation for producing visually entertaining slots. Previous titles from the developer include Fishin' Pots of Gold: Gold Blitz and 9 Pots of Gold, both of which have been well-received by players for their innovative features and solid gameplay.

Like we said before, the symbols in 9 Masks of Fire are a blend of classic slot icons and tribal-themed designs:
| Symbol | Payout (for 5 on a payline) |
|---|---|
| 777 | 37.5x for 5 on a line |
| 77 | 20x for 5 on a line |
| 7 | 7.5x for 5 on a line |
| Dollar Sign | 3.25x for 5 on a line |
| Bell | 2x for 5 on a line |
| BAR | 1x for 5 on a line |
| Cherries | 1x for 5 on a line |
Just because 9 Masks of Fire goes for the classics, doesn’t make it rusty. Apart from the symbols you see above, the game also hosts two special symbols - the Wild and the Scatter.
Similar to most other slots, the Diamond Wild symbol can take the place of any other symbol except for the Free Spins and Mask symbols. This means it can potentially help to complete winning combinations. Apart from that, the Diamond Wild can also payout 125x for five on a line.
The Mask Scatter, on the other hand, can potentially payout 2,000x for nine anywhere on the grid.
The Mask scatter symbol plays a significant role in the game. Landing three or more Masks anywhere on the reels triggers cash prizes. The more Masks you land, the higher the payout:
The Free Spins feature is activated by getting three Shaka Zulu-style shield and spears icons on reels 2, 3, and 4. This not only awards 1x your stake but also triggers the bonus game. A wheel covers the grid, spinning to reveal the number of free spins (10 to 30) and multipliers (x2 or x3) that will be applied to all wins during the feature, except Mask wins. Free spins can be retriggered indefinitely.
9 Masks of Fire is definitely an interesting slot. However, it's definitely all that BetVictor has to offer. Some similar slot titles you can find in the BetVictor catalogue include African Elephant, 2 Kings of Africa, and Savage Lion.
