Blazing Piranhas: Our Verdict

Blazing Piranhas is a humorous take on a film we’ve all seen many times, and it’s attractive in more ways than one.

The art style is quite interesting with a somewhat colourfully, unique art style, and it draws you in when you first see it. It’s best not to get too close, though…because you know, Piranhas.

During the Base Game, you’ll experience a few Piranha Wilds to keep things interesting, but as always, it’s the bonus rounds you’re looking for, and in Blazing Piranhas, there are a couple to experience. Blazing Piranhas comes complete with a Lock’n’Win feature, Free Spins and the much-desired Jackpot mechanic.

The Jackpots dangle over your head, and they look as tasty as human flesh does to piranhas. 5,000x is the best of the bunch, but the lesser jackpots are an attractive prospect too.

Overall, Blazing Piranhas looks entertaining, and it’s quite capable. It isn’t an innovative marvel, but it serves well as a diverse game for players who seek new games.
