Game Overview

Hold on tight! We’ve got explosions, wagons of gold, more explosions, and potentially massive wins on offer! Wait, did I mention there are explosions? That’s right folks, this slot is dynamite and who else could be behind such a title like this other than Nolimit City. This time around, the developer has dabbled in the mining-themed slot genre, and their title, Fire in the Hole is making a surge to be crowned the best game within that niche. Intrigued to know its stats? This is a 6-reel slot featuring up to 46,656 paylines, an RTP of 96.06%, and a maximum win of 60,000x bet.

We’ve got an abundance of modifiers and bonuses to entertain us in this slot, starting with the cascading reels feature, which is active in the base game. Not only will each winning combo cause new symbols to replace winning ones through this mechanic, but the playfield will also increase up to a maximum of 6×6 if enough consecutive reel tumbles are achieved. We have the xBomb feature too, which blows away all adjacent symbols to it as well as increasing the win multiplier by x1 each time it lands. The game’s main bonus, however, is the Lucky Wagon Spins, where landing multipliers and special symbols can unlock the grid further and award modifiers, which can enhance your winnings substantially.

We can’t promise that you’ll strike actual gold in this game, but we can promise you one hell of a ride along the way. So, before we head underground, why not sharpen up your prospecting skills in our free demo slot of Fire in the Hole. It’s available to play below.

Fire In The Hole Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Fire in the Hole Slot Paytable

Mining-themed slots are nothing new in the iGaming industry, and a quick search here on Demoslot will unearth plenty of classic titles if you want to delve a little deeper into the niche. However, if you were to ask me for a couple of recommendations, I’d have to point you in the direction of Big Time Gaming’s Bonanza Megaways, one of the highest scoring slots here on our site. Secondly, you’ve just got to check out Pragmatic Plays’ Bonanza Gold, which features the scatter pays mechanic and a maximum win of over 20,000x bet. Let’s get back on track though, and see what Nolimit City’s Fire in the Hole has to offer pay-wise.

Kicking things off at the top of the paytable, we have the lantern worth 7.5x bet for a five of a kind win. Next, we have the satchel at 3.75 for a full line of five, followed by the boots at 2.5x, the rope at 2x, and the pickaxe at 1.75x for a completed payline. The low pays are represented by five royal symbols, with the King valued at 1.5x for a winning combo of five, the Queen at 1.25x, followed by the Jack at 1.1x, the Ten at 1.05x, and finally, the Nine at 1x for a five of a kind hit.

To start the reels spinning on Fire in the Hole, it will cost you a minimum of €0.20 a spin, with the maximum standard price per play on the game reaching €50 a play. There is a good selection of intermediate bets within this range too, so finding a stake comparable to your bankroll shouldn’t be a problem.

Base Game & Modifiers

Fire in the Hole slot base game

Initial base gameplay on Fire in the Hole starts with a format of six reels with three rows upon each one, totalling 486 ways to win. The good news is that this amount can be increased, which is made possible by hitting a winning connection of symbols and triggering the Collapsing Mine Feature.

Once this is initiated, the next level of symbols will come into play, continuing each time you form a win. Hitting enough consecutive wins will see you reach the maximum amount of paylines in the game, which, as we mentioned, is 46,656. Further details can be seen below.

Initial spin – 486 ways to win
After 1 win – 4,096 ways to win
After 2 consecutive wins – 15,625 ways to win
After 3 consecutive wins – 46,656 ways to win

Xbomb Wild Multipler Feature

The xBomb feature can also cause the grid to expand and offer you more paylines. But it also comes with a little additional extra to ramp up the potential for a big win. How? Well, not only when this symbol appears will it destroy all other symbols that are adjacent to it, but it will also increase the win multiplier by x1 each time. To top this off, the symbol doesn’t have to be a part of a win to explode and cause the reels to collapse.

Fire In The Hole Slot Bonus Features

Fire in the Hole slot bonus round

To trigger the Lucky Wagons Spins feature, you will need 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols to land in view. This will open up the bonus with 2, 3, or 4 rows of symbols in play, respectively. You are then awarded 3 respins, and the feature will begin.

Lucky Wagons Free Spins Feature

As the reels spin, they contain blank spaces and coins. If you land a coin, your respin total will be reset to 3, and the multiplier amount on the coin will be awarded to your current win total. Keep a look out for the special symbols that appear on the upper reel. If a coin lands on the corresponding reel below, that modifier will be applied to your play. The possible boosts and modifiers that can be won are as follows.

Coins: Values of up to 100x can land

Multipliers: This will multiply the value of all coins below the enhancer

Dynamite: The dynamite symbol will blow up blocked positions on the reels or increase the value of coins. It may also activate the chests at the bottom of the reels.

Bag: Will collect all corresponding coins that are underneath it

Chest: This collects all coin values on the reels except the dwarf, therefore creating more spaces to win

Dwarf: The Dwarf collect chest will add all wins on its row and add them to the chest at the bottom. This amount will be added to your running total at the end of each respin

Bonus Buy

Players in a region where the bonus buy button is active can access the bonus feature immediately over the following three levels.

3 scatter trigger feature buy = 60x bet
4 scatter trigger feature buy = 157x bet
5 scatter trigger feature buy = 500x bet

Pros

This is an outstanding take on the respin style bonus round.
The massive maximum win of 60,000x bet.
Outstanding visuals and audio.

Cons

Some could consider the top price to buy the feature of 500x as being too high.

Final Thoughts

Perhaps it was just a matter of time until Nolimit City tried their hand at a Hold and win style slot, and after finishing our review of the game, we have to tell you that it is a top-tier release that we rate very highly. Instant comparisons will no doubt be made to Relax Gaming's Money Train slots, but as we know from the team at Nolimit, their games ooze class, loads of modifiers and bonuses, and massive big win potential, so there is enough in our eyes to separate the two.In conclusion, it's fair to say that we absolutely love this slot, so If you're new to Nolimit City and their games, be sure to check this one out; you won't be disappointed.
