Area Link Phoenix Firestorm Description
Area Link Phoenix Firestorm is a mythology slot distributed by Games Global, but created by its partner studio Area Vegas, that debuted two years after its predecessor, presenting a slightly upgraded version of the original.
The gameplay here is not drastically different from the one featured in its predecessor, Area Link Phoenix with essentially the number of Fireballs and Upgrades getting boosted to five, from the old three here. The presentation is similar also, but is a bit more grandiose in this release, primarily on account of the more animated background.
Fans of Area Link Phoenix looking for an enhanced version of that popular title would not go wrong in checking out this one, as it delivers more variety than its source material.

Area Link Phoenix Firestorm Bonus Features
Like its predecessor, the Area Link Phoenix Firestorm slot machine is pretty much all about the Area Link feature. That is Area Vegas’ unique take on Hold & Win gaming. However, as noted above, things get ramped up here, and we explain below just how.
Area Link
Fireballs, like in the previous Phoenix game from this provider, activate the Area Link bonus, which is technically triggered at random when these symbols in five different colours land. There are Orange, Green, Magenta, Blue, and Red Fireballs.
The Area Link feature begins with three respins, but the spin counter can again get bumped to three when a new Fireball stops in view. These lock in place, and they can have a jackpot label or a cash prize. Since this bonus works like a Hold & Win one, filling the grid with locked symbols produces the highest jackpot award - GRAND.
Phoenix Upgrades
Everything here works like in the original, except there are two more Fireballs and two more upgrades. To get these, a Phoenix Fireball must be collected. The upgrades you can expect in this Firestorm variant are:
- Orange – Orange Fireballs provide multipliers up to 5x.
- Magenta – Adds a second simultaneous grid.
- Red – Collects prizes through Red Fireballs.
- Blue - Values of Blue Fireballs get added to existing Yellow ones.
- Green – Locked Green Fireballs get their values randomly boosted.
Upgrade combos are possible if two get activated together.
