Bonus Buy

The FREE SPINS feature can be instantly activated from the main game by purchasing it for 100x the current total bet.

When you purchase the FREE SPINS feature, the triggering spin is guaranteed to land enough CONNECT & COLLECT symbols to form a chain reaching the special positions on reel 3 and at least one position on reel 6. When the spins are triggered, reel 6 contains only FREE SPINS symbols with a random number of free spins awarded on them.

Max Win

The maximum win in Fire Stampede Ultimate is capped at 12,500x the bet in both the main game and free spins. If the total win for a round reaches 12,500x, the round ends immediately, the winnings are awarded, and any remaining free spins are forfeited.

Wild

This is the WILD symbol, which 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 CONNECT & COLLECT symbol. It appears in any non-special position on reels 1 through 5.

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

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

RE-SPINS – Can only appear in special positions on reel 3. When a chain of connections is reached, a re-spin round is triggered. The round begins with 3 re-spins. During the round, all CONNECT & COLLECT symbols that appeared in the initial spin remain in place, and all remaining positions on reels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 spin again. Any CONNECT & COLLECT symbols that appear during the re-spins reset the number of re-spins to 3 and remain in place until the re-spins are finished. At the end of the round, all connections are paid.

MONEY RE-SPINS can only land in special positions on reel 3. When a chain of connected symbols is reached, a re-spin round is triggered. The round begins with 3 re-spins. During the round, all CONNECT & COLLECT symbols that landed during the initial re-spin are assigned a random value and remain in their positions, while all remaining positions on reels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 spin again. Any CONNECT & COLLECT symbols that land during the re-spins reset the re-spin count to 3, are assigned a random value, and remain in their positions until the re-spins end.

During the round, a special BUFFALO COIN symbol may also appear. In this case, random positions on the screen receive a random multiplier of x2, x3, x4, or x5, which is applied to their value.

When the re-spins are complete, all values ​​on the screen are added up and paid out. Each BUFFALO COIN symbol on the screen awards 1x the total bet, multiplied by its applied multiplier. If the screen is completely filled with symbols, a GRAND win of 80,000x the base bet is awarded.

Mystery Symbol

The special MYSTERY symbol can also take on a random value, triggered by the CONNECT & COLLECT symbols in the round, or appear during the round. In this case, it remains on the screen until the end of the round and, at the end, reveals a random cash reward, which is added to the total win. Possible values: 10x, 14x, 16x, 20x the total bet, as well as 500x (MINOR), 4000x (MAJOR), and 80000x (GRAND) of the base bet.

The possible values ​​that CONNECT & COLLECT symbols can randomly award in the MONEY RE-SPINS feature are: 10x, 20x, 30x, 60x, 90x, 120x, 150x, 300x, 450x, 600x, 1500x or 3000x of the base bet.

If RE-SPINS and MONEY RE-SPINS occur simultaneously, the round plays out as MONEY RE-SPINS, but at the end of the round, the values ​​on reel 6 connected by CONNECT & COLLECT symbols are additionally paid. This is considered the SUPER RE-SPINS feature. If, during a RE-SPINS round, CONNECT & COLLECT symbols connect with a special position containing a MONEY RE-SPINS symbol, the round from that spin onward is upgraded to SUPER RE-SPINS.

• CASH VALUE – When landing, the symbol receives a random cash value from a predetermined set. When it is reached by a chain of connections, its value is awarded. Possible values ​​on special positions on reel 3: 50x, 75x, 100x, 125x, 150x, 200x, 250x, 300x, or 500x of the base bet. Possible values ​​on reel 6: 250x, 300x, 500x, 750x, 1000x, 1250x, 1500x, 2000x, 2500x, or 5000x of the base 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 from the current spin have been paid out, a FREE SPINS round is triggered, awarding 2x the current bet. The FREE SPINS symbol always represents a random number of free spins—7, 10, 15, 20, or 25.
• MYSTERY PRIZE – This symbol can only appear on reel 6. When it lands, it reveals a random reward. Possible rewards are: 300x, 420x, 480x, 500x (MINOR), 600x, 4000x (MAJOR), or 80000x (GRAND) of the base bet. MINOR, MAJOR, and GRAND rewards can land with a 2x multiplier.

• STAMPEDE – Each time a connecting chain reaches this symbol, the highest-value symbols are added to random positions on reels 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.

• MINOR – This symbol can only appear in special positions on reel 3. Each time a connecting chain reaches this symbol, its value is awarded. Pays 500x the base bet.

Free Spins

The FREE SPINS feature is triggered by collecting a FREE SPINS symbol through connecting it with CONNECT & COLLECT symbols. The round begins with the total number of free spins awarded from all collected FREE SPINS symbols. The CONNECT & COLLECT feature is available and plays out the same way as the main game. If a connecting chain reaches additional FREE SPINS symbols during the round, you receive additional free spins equal to the sum of the values ​​of the FREE SPINS symbols reached. Special reels are also included in the game.

Random Rewards

During random spins, a random number of WILD, CONNECT & COLLECT, or top-paying symbols may be added to random non-special positions. Each time a RE-SPINS or MONEY RE-SPINS symbol lands, it is added to the pool. At this point, the RE-SPINS, MONEY RE-SPINS, or both features may be randomly triggered.

Paylines

Fire Stampede Ultimate offers 1875 winning combinations. Wins are awarded for symbol combinations from left to right. Symbols pay out on a 5x5x3x5x5 grid. Two special positions containing special symbols are located above and below reel 3. The game also features a 6th reel, which is separate from the other reels and contains only special symbols.
