Fire Portals Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot of Fire Portals?

The max win is 10,000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot of Fire Portals?

The features of this slot game are Tumble, Wild Symbol, Free Spins, Ante Bet, and Feature Buy.

Tumble 

The Tumble feature is activated when a win is created, and the winning symbols will be removed from the reels. New symbols will fall from above and allow new winning combinations; this will continue as long as new winning combinations are created.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol has the design of a flaming fire portal, substituting all symbols except the Scatter Symbol, and helps you create winning combinations.

Whenever a winning cluster is created on the grid, a Wild Symbol appears as a result in a random position within the area of the exploding cluster win. The Wild Symbol appears with a starting multiplier value of 1X; every time it is used in a win, the value increases by 1X. After the win explosion, the Wild Symbol moves one position randomly, up, down, left, or right within the area of the cluster win.

The multiplier is applied to all wins it is part of, and if several Wild Multipliers are part of the same win, after the payout, the Wild Multipliers merge into a single symbol type, and their values are multiplied. Suppose 2 or more Wild Multipliers are part of multiple cluster wins. In that case, they merge according to priority depending on the combination with the most Wilds, followed by the combination containing the highest paying symbol. The Wild Multiplier remains on the grid until the winning tumble has ended.

Free Spins

This feature can be triggered by landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols anywhere on the reels during the Base Game. Depending on whether you land 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 Scatter Symbols, you are awarded 10, 12, 14, 16, or 18 Free Spins, respectively. You can retrigger the feature by landing 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 Scatter Symbols, granting additional Free Spins accordingly.

During the spins, the Wild Multiplier is persistent, meaning it stays on the reels until the end of the feature. If any Wild Multipliers were on the reels when the feature was triggered, they are carried into the feature and stay in the same position for the remainder of the feature.

Ante Bet

You trigger the Ante Bet at the extra cost of 25% of the current bet. When this feature has been activated, the chances of triggering Free Spins increase. When this feature is triggered, you play the game with an RTP of 96%.

Feature Buy

If you want to take advantage of the Free Spins feature immediately, you can use the feature buy option. You pay 100X the bet and receive between 10 and 18 Free Spins with an RTP of 95.95%.

Fire Portals Slot Conclusion

This well-designed game provides a mystical experience among witches and portals. Maybe it is just us, but we couldn’t help but think about the TV show Stargate SG-1 when we first saw this game. While writing this review, Pragmatic Play hasn’t yet announced the backstory to this game, but we have high expectations considering the exciting environment. We liked the mystical background music, a thematic fit that enhances the overall atmosphere and immersion.

So what about the features? We have previously seen releases such as Loki’s Riches and Sugar Rush 1000, games that follow the same structure of cluster pays mechanic combined with a tumble feature. What makes Fire Portals stand out is the Wild Symbol, which carries an increasing Multiplier and moves around on the reels, helping you create generous wins. The Wild Multiplier has a starting value of 1X, which increases by 1X with every tumble. Whenever 2 or more Wilds are part of the same win, they merge into one single symbol by multiplying each other's values. This is a nice touch from the provider, creating a thrill in the Bonus Game when the Wild Multiplier is persistent and stays on the reels for the remainder of the spins. While testing this game, the Wild Multiplier was the reason behind some lucrative wins, especially in the later stages of the feature.

In conclusion, this felt like a classic Pragmatic Play release, which is not bad. It is visually appealing with a decent RTP by default and can produce wins up to 10,000X. The Wild Symbols felt a bit alone sometimes, and an additional feature would really elevate this already good game.

Fire Portals is a slot with a science fiction theme offering a merging Wild Multiplier, helping you hit wins up to 10,000X!
