12 Masks of Fire: Drums is the next beat in the successful “Masks of Fire” series, now with an added rhythmic twist. Developed by M2Play in partnership with Microgaming, this tribal-themed sequel introduces a new Drum Bonus mechanic while keeping the familiar visuals and vibe fans know and love.
The game runs on a 5×3 grid with 20 paylines, and the reels are filled with fiery masks, golden sevens, and drums. It looks familiar—but the Drum Bonus adds a layer of excitement. When triggered, it leads to a Wheel of Fortune-style spin, which can either award instant cash prizes or grant access to the Free Spins round.
During Free Spins, players can benefit from multipliers up to x5, giving some real weight to even modest wins. The feature is retriggerable, and while the presentation is simple, the potential adds up quickly, especially with stacked wilds landing across the reels.
The standout attraction here is the max win of x6,000, which is fairly generous for a medium-volatility slot. On the downside, the RTP sits at 95.48%, which is a bit low, and there’s no option to buy your way into the bonus—so you’ll need to land it naturally.
Graphically, it’s faithful to the original 12 Masks of Fire, though the design is starting to feel a little dated compared to flashier titles. That said, the tribal drums and fiery animations do a good job of delivering atmosphere.
