Fire in the Hole Slot Review

How to play

The first thing you want to do after loading this game is to click on the dollar button. This move will let you choose from 25 different amounts (your total bet). Every player can play with as little as €0.20 and as much as €50 per spin. Select a bet and click on the huge pointer button to make the six reels move.

You'll find a few other buttons on the main screen, including the lightning bolt that accelerates animations. Next, we have the play button for auto-spins. You can choose up to 1000 auto-spins and set specific limits. The speaker button is self-explanatory. If you click on the three white dots, you will get access to the system settings and this game's paytable.

Symbols and payouts

Ten standard symbols are present on the paytable of the Fire in the Hole slot. It all starts with the five playing card icons placed on crates. Hit three, four, five, or six 9s on adjacent reels to win 0.2, 0.3, 0.6, or 1 time your total bet. You can expect 0.2, 0.3, 0.6, or 1.05 times your bet for the same combinations of 10s. The Jacks can help you win 0.2, 0.3, 0.6, or 1.1 times the total bet. With the help of the Queens, you can get up to 1.25 times your bet while the Kings can bring up to 1.5 times the total bet.

Whenever a player lands three, four, five, or six pickaxes, they will get 0.35, 0.5, 1, or 1.75 times their bet. The rope provides slightly bigger prizes – 0.4, 0.55, 1.25, or 2 times the bet. Players can also expect good prizes from the boots – 0.45, 0.6, 1.5, or 2.5 times the total bet. On the other hand, the satchel will deliver 0.5, 0.75, 2, or 3.75 times the total bet. Lastly, we have the lantern that pays 0.75, 2, 4, or 7.5 times the total bet when you land three, four, five, or six of these icons on adjacent reels.

Best Fire in the Hole bonus feature

As we have mentioned before, there are special symbols and Fire in the Hole bonus features here too. We would like to start with the collapsing mine feature. Whenever a player gets a winning combo, activates the Wild Mining feature, or triggers an xBomb Wild explosion, the three initial rows will grow (up to six rows).

Furthermore, we have the Lucky Wagons spins. Hit three or more bonus icons anywhere in view to activate these special spins. You will get three spins, and every time a coin lands on the reels, the number of spins will be reset to three. Every coin displays a value that's summed at the end of the round. During this feature, you will notice boosters on the top row for each spin – dwarf, chest, dynamite, bag, multipliers, or coin values. Whenever a coin ends up on the reel right under the booster, it will be activated.

This game also features an xBomb Wild that replaces all standard symbols. It also removes adjacent symbols and boosts the win multiplier by one for the next collapse. If there's no winning combo, yet there are at least three matching symbols aligned horizontally, these symbols will be removed and replaced by wild symbols in the middle positions of the alignment. As you can see, there's no Fire in the Hole free spins round, but this game has other fun features.

RTP & Volatility

The Fire in the Hole RTP is 96.06%, slightly above the industry's standard. Remember that this is a high volatility release by Nolimit City.
