Fire in the Hole 3

Gameplay and symbols

Fire in the Hole 3 drops you back into the frozen mine with your favourite hard working dwarf and a reel setup that never stays still for long.

The game uses a 6 by 6 style grid shown as 6 6 6 6 6 6. Each spin starts with only three active rows, and as wins and features kick in, the mine collapses and opens up extra rows, all the way up to six.

Winning symbols are paid and then cleared away before everything drops down and new symbols tumble in from above. This means one spin can turn into a chain of collapses, with fresh chances popping up as the screen reshuffles itself.

You will come across Wild symbols, Bonus symbols, Ice Buried symbols and special feature symbols such as xBomb, xSplit and xHole. Some symbols hide inside ice blocks and only reveal themselves when something explosive clears the way.

You can stake for as little as 0.20 credits per spin, with play available up to 100 credits, if you fancy turning up the heat.

Fire in the Hole 3 game features

Collapsing Mine

• Each spin begins with three active rows and every collapse opens an extra row, up to six. Wins and feature actions trigger fresh drops and new chances.

Wild Mining

• When three to six identical symbols line up without forming a win, they are removed and replaced by Wilds in the middle of the pattern, then the mine collapses again.

xBomb Wild Multiplier

• xBomb Wilds explode, remove nearby symbols and boost the win multiplier for the next collapse.

Buried Features in Ice

• Ice blocks can hide Wilds, xSplit, win multipliers, xHole, Bonus symbols or even a Max symbol, and only reveal their secrets once the ice is broken.

xHole

• The xHole symbol scatters regular symbols into new positions, leaves an empty space and triggers another collapse.

xSplit

• xSplit splits and doubles the value of symbols on its reel, then turns into a regular symbol once finished.

Gamble for Lucky Wagon Spins

• After a win of at least five times your base stake in the main game, you can choose to gamble your win for a chance to unlock Lucky Wagon Spins.

Lucky Wagon Spins with enhancers

• Bonus symbols trigger Lucky Wagon Spins, where coins land, rows open up and enhancers such as multipliers, dynamite and special dwarfs boost the feature.

Frozen Wagon Spins

• Triggered by xHole during Lucky Wagon Spins, these spins turn the top row into pure coin action and collect values across the grid.

Booster and bonus buy options

• Optional boosters and bonus entries can unlock rows, place Bonus symbols or jump straight into selected bonus features, where available in your region.

It is a high volatility ride, so things can be quiet for a while before the mine suddenly comes alive with collapses, Wilds and feature chains. If you enjoy playful mayhem, noisy reels and seeing what fresh mess drops in next, this underground adventure delivers plenty of personality.
