Burning Sun Extremely Light Slot Review
Violet rays swirl out from behind a gold-framed board, and a glossy cartoon sun glows over the whole thing. Wazdan‘s Burning Sun Extremely Light is barely a fruit machine at all: strip away the neon and you’re left with sixteen squares, one bonus round and a single prize worth chasing, and the game is honest enough not to pretend there’s more to it. The purples are deep, the shine is heavy, and everything you see on the reels is quietly working towards the same six symbols.
Underneath the glow it’s a serious piece of engineering: sixteen independent reels on a 4×4 grid, wins for ten or more of a kind anywhere on screen, a 96.12% RTP and a 5,000x GRAND Jackpot as the top prize. It sits in the same coin-and-jackpot family as 9 Coins Grand Diamond Edition and Hot Slot: 777 Coins, with more than a little of 9 Lions Hold The Jackpot in its blood. The sun, here, is the prize.
The Base Game
There are no paylines here. The 4×4 grid holds sixteen independent reels, and a win needs at least ten symbols of a kind anywhere on screen. Fill all sixteen and the pays step up sharply. Only the highest win is paid on any spin.
The Wild substitutes for all symbols except Bonus symbols. That’s its whole job, and it does it without ceremony.
Symbol pays are multiples of the total bet, and they climb steeply with count:
- 7 – 2x for 10 of a kind, 8x for 12, 30x for 14, 200x for all 16
- Star – 1.5x for 10, 6x for 12, 20x for 14, 100x for all 16
- A – 1x for 10, 4x for 12, 15x for 14, 50x for all 16
- K – 0.8x for 10, 3x for 12, 10x for 14, 40x for all 16
- Q – 0.6x for 10, 2x for 12, 5x for 14, 30x for all 16
- J – 0.5x for 10, 1.5x for 12, 4x for 14, 20x for all 16
- 10 – 0.4x for 10, 1x for 12, 3x for 14, 15x for all 16
- 9 – 0.4x for 10, 0.8x for 12, 2x for 14, 10x for all 16
Cash Symbols
The suns themselves are Cash symbols, and their values are multiples of the bet:
- Cash symbol – 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, up to 10x, 12x and 15x the bet
Draw four or five of them and they stick to the reels for one spin, nudging the grid towards the six-symbol threshold the bonus needs. They pay out only inside the bonus round, so a screen full of suns in the base game is a promise rather than a payout.
Sticky to Infinity
The trademark wrinkle here is Sticky to Infinity. Mystery and Jackpot Mystery symbols can land in the base game as well as the bonus, and once they land they stay put until the bonus ends. In the base game they exist to build towards the trigger, holding their squares while the rest of the grid spins on around them.
They don’t open immediately. Mystery and Jackpot Mystery symbols reveal themselves one by one at the end of the bonus, which means a late screen can be carrying a lot of unresolved business. The Mystery can become any Bonus symbol at all; the Jackpot Mystery is narrower, turning into the Collector or one of the MINI, MINOR and MAJOR Jackpot symbols.
One housekeeping detail worth knowing: changing bet levels removes these sticky symbols from the reels temporarily, and they only reappear at the level they were collected on. Play a full round at a different level and they’re gone for good.
Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game
Land at least six Bonus symbols of any type and the Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game begins. Everything sticks. Three re-spins are granted at the start, and every new Bonus symbol that lands resets the count to three. The round runs until the re-spins run out or all sixteen positions fill, whichever comes first.
When it ends, the prize is the sum of every Bonus symbol value on the grid. Cash symbols contribute their face values, and the MINI, MINOR and MAJOR Jackpot symbols pay their respective prizes, with multiples of the same jackpot allowed within a single round.
The Collector
The Collector only arrives via a Mystery or Jackpot Mystery symbol, never on its own. When it appears it gathers every Cash symbol value on the board and multiplies the lot by a random 1x to 20x. On a well-filled grid that multiplier does the heavy lifting, and it’s the main reason a full board of modest suns can turn into something serious.
The Jackpot Ladder
The ladder runs from MINI at 20x the bet through MINOR at 50x to MAJOR at 150x, all winnable repeatedly within one round. At the top sits the GRAND: fill all sixteen positions with Bonus symbols of any type and it pays 5,000x the bet, full stop. The GRAND is the game’s maximum prize, and nothing is added to it.
Volatility Levels and the Shop
Wazdan’s adjustable Volatility Levels carry over, and the bonus round plays at the same bet level and volatility as the spin that triggered it. A Shop in the interface sells direct entry to the bonus, and buying in this way can activate the round on Ultra, Extreme and Double Extreme volatility settings, where the wins on offer are bigger than the standard ladder’s.
A Gamble option lets you risk any win for a chance to double it, and Fast Play cycles through normal, fast and ultra fast modes.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.1/10
Playing this is one long build towards one moment. Nearly every spin is grid-watching: suns sticking, mystery squares holding their secrets, the count creeping towards six. If you like that kind of patience, the violet glow and the glossy sun make the waiting easy to sit in, and the bonus pays the trip off with real escalation.
Its strength is the Collector. Because it can only arrive through a Mystery symbol, it turns the reveal at the end of the round into the best second in the game, and a 20x multiplier on a full board can outrun the jackpot ladder entirely. Its weakness is everything before it: there are no free spins, no second feature, nothing to do but count suns, and the ten-of-a-kind pays rarely clear the royals.
It suits hold-and-win players who already rate Wazdan’s coin games and want a prettier one with a sharper top prize. Anyone after variety between bonuses will find the daylight hours quiet. For the patient, though, this sun rewards the wait.
