Fire Stampede Slot Review

About the Game

Lead the charge to victory in the Fire Stampede slot from Pragmatic Play and Wild Streak Gaming. The action of the slot takes place on dusty desert plains. Symbols including cacti, eagles and gold nuggets must form winning combinations from left to right on a 5×5 grid to win. The top and bottom positions of the third reel, as well as the additional sixth reel on the side of the game field, have special significance. Chips with money symbols or other rewards are placed on these positions. The Wild symbol in the form of a cowboy hat can appear on any reel during a spin, substituting for all symbols except Connect & Collect.

Max Win

The maximum win in Fire Stampede is capped at 4,275x the bet in both the base game and free spins. If the total win for a round reaches 4,275x, the round ends immediately, the win is awarded, and any remaining free spins are cancelled.

Video

The Connect & Collect symbol can appear in any non-special position. A combination of adjacent Connect & Collect symbols from left to right to one of the special positions on the playing field will bring a reward corresponding to this position. This can be a respin, a cash prize, additional Wild symbols or a certain number of free spins. There is also a chance to win one of three jackpots: small, large or big.

Wild Symbol

This is a WILD symbol that substitutes for all symbols except the CONNECT & COLLECT symbol. The WILD symbol appears on reels 2, 3 and 4.

Connect & Collect Feature

This is the СCONNECT & COLLECT symbol. It appears in any non-special position on reels 1 to 5.

If adjacent CONNECT & COLLECT symbols from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel, touch each other horizontally or vertically, and the chain of symbols reaches one of the special positions on reel 3 or 6, a win of the special position reached will be awarded.

During the main game and FREE SPINS, the following symbols can appear randomly in special positions on reels 3 and 6:

• RE-SPIN – can only appear on special positions on reel 3. Each time it appears, a re-spin round is triggered. The round consists of 5 re-spins. During the round, all CONNECT & COLLECT symbols that appeared during the first spin remain in place, and all other positions on reels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are re-spinned. All CONNECT & COLLECT symbols that appeared during the re-spins also remain in place until the re-spins are completed. At the end of the round, the game pays for all connections.

• CASH VALUE – When dropped, takes a random value from a set. Each time a connecting chain is reached, its value is awarded. Possible values: 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 16x, 20x, 30x, 40x, 50x, 60x, 80x, 100x, 120x, 160x, 200x, 300x, 400x or 800x of the total bet.

• ADDING WILD SYMBOLS – Whenever a connecting chain reaches this symbol, WILD symbols are added to random positions on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5.

• FREE SPINS – Every time a connecting chain is reached after all other rewards received in the current spin have been paid, the FREE SPINS round is triggered and 2x the current bet is awarded. The FREE SPINS symbol always displays a random number of free spins – 7, 10, 15, 20 or 25.

MINOR, MAJOR and GRAND prizes – Each time one of these is reached by a connecting chain, their values are awarded. MINOR has a value of 25x the total bet amount. MAJOR has a value of 200x the total bet amount. GRAND has a value of 4000x the total bet amount.

Free Spins

This symbol is the SCATTER. It appears on all reels. 3 or more SCATTER symbols pay 2x the total bet.

The FREE SPINS feature is triggered when the FREE SPINS symbol is scattered as a result of the CONNECT & COLLECT feature or when 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols appear.

At the start of the round, the total number of free spins is equal to the number of all FREE SPINS symbols collected plus 7, 10 or 15 free spins for landing 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols (if any) respectively during the spin that triggered the feature.

The CONNECT & COLLECT feature is available and played out in the same way as in the main game. If more FREE SPINS symbols appear in a connecting chain during the round, as many free spins as are displayed on the symbols that appeared are awarded. Special reels are included in the game.

Random Awards

The GRAND reward can be won randomly at the end of any spin in the base game. During random spins in the base game, a random number of WILD symbols can be added to random non-special positions. During random spins in the base game, a random number of CONNECT & COLLECT symbols can appear in random non-special positions.
