The Malta based casino game studio Pragmatic Play, has introduced its latest online slot, Fire Portals, which boasts an innovative gameplay feature involving wilds with multipliers that materialize randomly following each winning combination.
Fire Portals takes place on a 7×7 grid embellished with enigmatic and enchanting symbols. In this highly volatile game, players must connect five or more symbols horizontally or vertically to form a winning cluster.
Whenever a winning combination occurs, the victorious symbols vanish, replaced by new ones, and a Fire Portal Wild emerges randomly on the reels. These unique wilds initially carry a 1x multiplier, which increases by 1x each time the wild participates in a new winning combination during the same spin.
If several Fire Portal Wilds contribute to a single winning cluster, their multipliers combine to generate a larger, unified multiplier. Each Fire Portal Wild can potentially reach a maximum multiplier value of 2,500x.
Triggering the bonus round requires landing three or more scatter symbols, with the appearance of seven scatters awarding up to 18 free spins. Throughout the bonus feature, Fire Portal Wilds remain fixed on the reels, granting players the chance to unlock wins of up to 10,000x their original stake.
Fire Portals is the most recent addition to Pragmatic Play’s expanding array of cluster pays slots, accompanying other popular titles such as Sugar Rush 1000 and Loki’s Riches.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said:
Fire Portals is an original new Slot from Pragmatic Play featuring roaming wilds that can combine to deliver wins up to 10,000x. It’s a visually striking 7×7 game with unique mechanics.
