Pros and cons of Firebird Spirit slot

Firebird Spirit offers one of the most innovative gameplay mechanics of the season, as Pragmatic Play wanted to focus on originality and innovation. The Connect&Collect chains are a mechanism still not widely used in online slots but rapidly gaining consensus and appreciation from the player community. The title allows for many bonuses, albeit with a not particularly generous paytable. The RTP is considered average for slots published from 2020 onwards, while the high volatility warns that larger prizes are drawn less frequently.
