Fire Stampede 2 Slot Information

Fire Stampede 2 takes place on a wide, open prairie, likely somewhere in the American West, with golden grass stretching into the distance. The reels, set against a black background, are positioned on the right side of the screen, creating a bold contrast with the warm tones of the landscape. On the left, a powerful flaming bison charges forward, just above the game's logo. Above the bison, a jackpot display showcases the available prizes, with the impressive 4,000x Grand Prize at the top. The soundtrack blends the dramatic feel of a cowboy film with the twang of country music, adding energy and atmosphere to the gameplay.

To make a win, the player needs to land matching symbols on 3 or more adjacent reels, starting on the first reel to the left. The top and bottom positions of reels 3 contain special symbols and will not produce regular-paying symbols. The sixth reel also contains special symbols. This means that a full win contains 5 symbols, and there are a total of 1,875 ways to make winning combinations. The game is available on mobile phones, notepads, and desktop computers.

The lower-paying symbols in Fire Stampede 2 are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, each awarding between 0.4x and 0.6x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The higher-paying symbols include the cactus, eagle, gold, and bison, which offer payouts ranging from 1x to 4x the bet when five matching symbols appear on a winline. The Wild Symbol substitutes for all other symbols except the Scatter and Collect & Connect Symbols, helping to complete winning combinations.

Fire Stampede 2 Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Fire Stampede 2?

You can win up to 8,300x the bet.

What features are available in the slot Fire Stampede 2?

The features are Wild Symbol, Connect & Collect Feature, Free Spins, Random Awards, and Feature Buy.

Wild Symbol

A cowboy hat that can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. It substitutes all regular-paying symbols in making wins, but not the Scatter or Collect & Connect Symbols.

Connect & Collect Feature

The Connect & Collect symbol can land anywhere on reels 1 to 5, but only in regular (non-special) positions. When you land adjacent Connect & Collect symbols from left to right, they must be touching either horizontally or vertically. If the chain of symbols reaches a special position on reel 3 or reel 6, you win the prize shown in that position.

On reel 6, several award spots are randomly marked. If your symbol chain reaches one of these marked awards, you win all the marked prizes. In both the base game and free spins, the special positions on reels 3 and 6 can randomly show the following symbols:

Respins – Only appears on special positions on reel 3. When a symbol chain reaches this position, it starts a respin round with 5 respins. All Connect & Collect symbols from the first spin stay in place while the other positions on reels 1 to 5 spin again. Any new Connect & Collect symbols that appear also stay until the respins end. At the end of the round, prizes are paid for all connected symbols. If no chain reaches a special position during the respins, a random prize of 3x to 10x your total bet is awarded.

Money Value – This gives you a random prize from a set range. If the chain reaches it, you get that prize. Reel 3 can show values of 2x to 20x your total bet. Reel 6 can show bigger values, from 10x up to 200x your total bet.

Add Wilds – When reached by a symbol chain, it adds Wild symbols to random positions on reels 2 to 5.

Free Spins – When reached by a chain, this symbol awards 2x your total bet and starts the free spins feature. It also shows a number that tells you how many free spins you get (7, 10, 15, 20, or 25).

Mystery Prize – Only appears on reel 6. It reveals a random prize when landed. Possible rewards include 25x (Minor), 200x (Major), 250x, 350x, 400x, 500x, or a huge 4,000x (Grand) your total bet. The Minor, Major, and Grand prizes can also come with a 2x multiplier.

Stampede – When a chain reaches this, the highest-value symbols are added to random positions on reels 1 to 5.

Minor – This only appears on special positions on reel 3. If reached, it pays out 25x your total bet.

Free Spins

Scatter symbols can land on all reels, and getting 3 or more pays 2x your total bet. You can trigger free spins by either reaching a Free Spins symbol using the Connect & Collect feature or hitting 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols in a single spin.

The round begins with a number of free spins based on the Free Spins symbols you collected, plus an extra 7, 10, or 15 spins depending on how many Scatter symbols triggered the feature. The Connect & Collect feature still works the same way during free spins. Additionally, Wild symbols now come with a random multiplier of x2 or x3. If you land more than one Wild in a winning combo, their multipliers combine (for example, x2 and x3 give x6).

If you reach more Free Spins symbols during the feature, you'll get additional free spins equal to the number shown on the symbols. Special reels are used during this bonus round.

Random Awards

During any spin, the game can randomly add Wild symbols, Connect & Collect symbols, or high-paying symbols to random regular positions on the reels.

Feature Buy

You can buy instant access to the Free Spins feature from the base game for 100x your total bet. When you buy the feature, your triggering spin is guaranteed to form a Connect & Collect chain that reaches special positions on both reel 3 and at least one position on reel 6. For this spin, reel 6 only contains Free Spins symbols, each showing a random number of free spins.

Fire Stampede 2 Slot Conclusion

If you thought the original Fire Stampede was wild, wait until you saddle up for Fire Stampede 2. This sequel sets the whole prairie ablaze. With a flaming bison charging across your screen and a jackpot display that practically dares you to dream big, this game is anything but subtle. The 6x5 grid might look a bit quirky at first, especially with those special spots hogging reel 3 and the entire reel 6, but once you get the hang of the Connect & Collect feature, it all starts to click (like cowboy boots on a wooden floor).

The Free Spins feature has had a serious glow-up, now packed with multipliers, extra spins, and enough random surprises to keep even the most seasoned slot wrangler on their toes. And let's not forget the soundtrack. It's like a cowboy movie and a country concert had a baby, and that baby grew up to be a slot machine.

Sure, the odds of hitting that 8,300x max win are about as slim as finding a needle in a haystack during a dust storm. But with a hit frequency of 26.53%, you'll at least feel like you're getting somewhere while chasing that dream. It's good fun spinning these reels, but we could have wished for some more tweaks compared to the forerunner. The graphics and the symbols are all the same in both games. For other bison-themed slots, don't miss Stakelogic's Bison Blocks or ReelPlay's Big Bucks Bison 10K Ways.

Fire Stampede 2 from Wild Streak Gaming is a fiery, feature-packed ride across the reels that blends bold visuals, exciting mechanics, and a touch of country charm.
