Introducing Area Link™ Phoenix Firestorm
Get ready to rise from the reels because Area Link™ Phoenix Firestorm has just swooped into Spin Casino New Zealand, and this online pokies game is bringing the heat! This fiery new title is the next chapter in the Area Link™ saga, and let’s just say – it’s seriously egg-citing.
Developed as the sequel to the original Area Link™ Phoenix online pokies, this fresh release hatched in May 2025 and takes everything that made the first game popular and tosses in even more fireballs, more features, and more feathers. If you’re a fan of online pokies that keep the action crackling, this blazing mythological bird might be your next obsession.
Fireballs, Features And Flaming Upgrades
Now, before you dive beak-first into the action, let’s talk gameplay. Area Link™ Phoenix Firestorm may look like a standard online pokies game at first glance but trust us, it’s got plenty of surprises stuffed under its wings. The base game operates with between 20 and 40 paylines, and the betting range is a feathery-light 0.20 credits up to a toasty 50 credits per spin, making it perfect for casual pokies players and fiery high-rollers alike. Add in its interactive features and unlockable mechanics, and this online pokies game is practically bursting into flames with potential.
What really sets this game ablaze is its special Area Link™ mechanic, which has evolved into something truly sizzling this time around. If you’re peckish for something different from your usual online casino routine, this is your sign to give the phoenix a spin.
The Magic Of The Fireballs
Let’s talk Fireballs, because they’re not just spicy snacks anymore. In Area Link™ Phoenix Firestorm, each Fireball that lands has a chance of triggering the game’s signature Area Link™ feature. These glowing orbs don’t just look cool; they collect into colour-coded eggs above the reels, and depending on which combinations you hatch, you’ll unlock one of several Phoenix Upgrades.
That’s one of the reasons this one stands out in the online pokies world; it’s not just about spinning reels but building momentum for fiery features to come.
Once the feature begins, you get three respins, and any Fireballs that land are locked into place. Every new Fireball resets your spin count back to three – think of it like an all-you-can-spin buffet. Fireballs either award credit prizes or jackpot prizes, and if you manage to fill every single position on the reels, you’ll be crowing about landing the grand jackpot.
Enter The Phoenix Firestorm Feature
If you think that’s hot, wait until you meet the Phoenix Fireballs. These are special golden fireballs that can trigger the aptly named Phoenix Firestorm feature – a bonus round so heated it should come with oven mitts.
During this supercharged mode, you’re guaranteed an Area Link™ bonus, but this time with a surprise mix of Phoenix Upgrades. Each type of Phoenix brings its own magical twist to the game, like multipliers, prize boosts and even entire extra arrays of play.
All The Phoenix Upgrades
Here’s a rundown of the Phoenix Upgrades you’ll be ruffling your feathers over:
- Orange Phoenix Upgrade gives you a random multiplier – either 2x, 3x or 5x – and boosts your Yellow Fireball rewards.
- Magenta Phoenix Upgrade lets you play on a second Area Link™ array. It’s like two games at once, without needing a second device.
- Red Phoenix Upgrade collects all visible prizes instantly and replaces itself with a Yellow Fireball for extra action.
- Blue Phoenix Upgrade adds value to Yellow Fireballs – yes, even more sizzle per symbol.
- Green Phoenix Upgrade boosts landed Fireball prizes with a random bonus boost on every spin.
Each upgrade adds its own feathered twist, and when multiple upgrades land at once, things really heat up. There are layered effects and combo boosts that make every feature round feel like an unpredictable phoenix party.
Double The Drama With Combo Features
What’s more exciting than a phoenix feature? How about two phoenix features… at the same time. That’s right, Area Link™ Phoenix Firestorm is all about those hybrid feature combos, and this is where the egg really cracks wide open.
Let’s say you trigger an Orange and Magenta combo – you’ll get that multiplier applied to both game arrays. Pair an Orange with a Red, and your multiplier powers up the Yellow Fireball that appears after the Red Fireball collects. Combine Blue and Green, and the boosted prizes go full sizzle mode.
It sounds a bit like Pokies Chemistry 101, but the game handles all the maths for you. You just sit back, enjoy the show, and maybe cluck with delight when the screen lights up like a summer bonfire.
Final Thoughts From The Phoenix Nest
So, is Area Link™ Phoenix Firestorm worth your spin? Absolutely. With its rich animations, layered features, and endlessly entertaining upgrade mechanics, this is an online pokies experience that rewards players who love unpredictability, interactivity, and, well, things that are on fire. The sequel manages to outshine the original (no offence, Area Link™ Phoenix – you walked so Firestorm could fly), and with bet sizes that cater to every type of player, there’s no reason not to give it a go.
