Fire in the Hole 3 Slot Review

About the Game

Max Win

A maximum win of 70,000 times the base bet will clear the mine and the game round will end.

Collapsing Mine

Each spin starts with 3 active rows, and for each collapse another row becomes active, up to 6.
A new landslide can be triggered by the following events:

• winning combination
• xBomb® Wild explosion
• Wild Mining is triggered
• xHole™ feature is triggered

Winning symbols are paid out and removed before the next landslide is triggered, causing all symbols to fall down, leaving an empty position for new symbols to fall from above.

xBomb® Wild Multiplier

The xBomb® Wild symbol substitutes for any symbol except bonus symbols. An exploding xBomb® Wild removes neighbouring symbols except bonus symbols and increases the win multiplier by its value on the next occurrence. All xBomb® Wilds explode before the next wild, except when the Wild Mining feature is triggered.

Wild Mining

Wilds are triggered in the main game when 3, 4, 5 or 6 symbols of the same species line up horizontally or vertically and there are no winning combinations, active xHole™ or active xBomb® Wild.
The triggering symbols will be removed, creating Wild symbols in the middle alignment positions:

• 3 symbols award 1 Wild
• 4 symbols award 2 Wilds
• 5 symbols award 3 Wilds
• 6 symbols award 4 Wilds

All positions above the bar, with the exception of Bonus and Ice Buried symbols, will explode and cause a new landslide. Ice Buried symbols will be revealed and become active along with the landslide.

Buried Features

Ice symbols in the main game may contain a Wild, xSplit®, Win Multiplier, xHole™, Bonus or Max symbol. Symbols buried in ice are inactive until the ice block containing them is removed by an exploding xBomb® Wild. Symbols contained in ice blocks are also revealed when split with xSplit®, with the exception of the win multiplier. Empty ice blocks and ice blocks containing a win multiplier affected by the split feature are removed if a landslide occurs. An ice block can contain win multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x or 100x. The ‘Max’ symbol appears as a 2×2 symbol in the ice block. Max Win is awarded once all the ice has been cleared from the symbol.

xHole™

Activated when the xHole™ symbol appears on a reel. Only regular paying symbols are removed from the reels, then they are scattered to random positions with split symbols ranging in size from 1 to 3. The xHole™ leaves an empty space on its position, which triggers the collapse. Winning symbols are paid and removed before the xHole™ is triggered. When multiple xHole™ symbols are triggered, the size of the symbol is multiplied.

xSplit®

The xSplit® symbol splits all other symbols on the reel, doubling their value. Bonus, xSplit® and xHole™ symbols cannot be split. Once all xSplit® symbols are activated, they turn into one of the regular symbols. Ice blocks affected by xSplit® are removed if a collapse occurs.

Lucky Wagon Spins

3, 4 or 5 bonus symbols trigger Lucky Wagon Spins, with 2, 3 or 4 rows of reels initially open. The feature starts with 3 spins and resets to 3 spins each time a coin appears in the reel area. The value of all coins is multiplied by the active bet. The 6 bonus symbols trigger Lucky Wagon Spins with a persistent gnome, which is guaranteed on the first spin, and opens 4 rows of reels. During the game, boosters will appear on the top row for each spin – coin denomination, multipliers, dynamite, persistent dynamite, xHole™, evil gnome or persistent gnome.

An enhancer is activated when a coin hits the reel below the enhancer. Amplifiers below can appear on the top row:

• Coin Value. Sets the coin value.

• Multipliers. Multiplies the cost of all coins, the persistent dwarf, and the cost of the persistent dynamite coin on the drum under the amplifier.

• Dynamite.
  • Adds the number of Dynamites multiplied by the bet to the coin involved. He then throws as many Dynamites as there are on the drum positions.
  • If it lands on an ice block: removes the ice block.
  • If it lands on a coin: doubles the value of the coin.
  • If it lands on a chest: activates the chest.
  • If it lands on ice containing a symbol: the symbol will be revealed.
  • If it lands on a Dynamite/Persistent Dynamite: will double the value of the Coin.
  • If it lands on a Persistent Dwarf: will double the value of the Coin.

• Persistent Dynamite. During each spin, an equal number of Dynamites will fall on the reels.

Persistent & Evil Dwarf

• Permanent gnome. Collects all values in the area of the reel in the position of its start for each spin.
• Evil Gnome. Triggers a golden spin that activates all coins on the reels. Coins trigger the corresponding boosters that increase their value.

xHole™ & Frozen Wagon Spins

• xHole™. Starts 3 Frozen Wagon Spins and turns into 1x coin. After 3 Frozen Wagon Spins, Lucky Wagon Spins resume and the counter for the remaining spins resets to 3.
• Frozen Wagon Spins. The top improving row will only contain coins. All existing coins in the reel area will collect the coin values from the enhancers and add them to their existing values.
