Fire Portals is a captivating online slot machine game developed by Rival Gaming. The game boasts an otherworldly theme, with elements inspired from ancient cultures and mysterious lands. Players are transported to a realm where portals connect mystical worlds, as they embark on an adventure filled with magic, danger, and immense rewards.

The Game’s Design

Upon launching the game, players are greeted by a stunning visual display of intricate graphics and animations that perfectly complement its enchanting theme. Fire Portals’ user interface is sleek and easy to navigate, providing clear Fire Portals demo visibility into various in-game elements such as bet sizes, payouts, and available balances.

The background artwork represents an ancient temple or city, complete with lush vegetation, towering structures, and a breathtaking night sky illuminated by vibrant stars. The symbols themselves are similarly impressive, featuring intricately designed icons that evoke feelings of mysticism and adventure. Notable inclusions among the game’s vast array of symbols include mystical artifacts like crystal balls, pyromancer wands, ancient scrolls, golden treasures, mysterious masks, burning embers, flames, tarot cards, alchemical equipment, vials of magical liquids, spellbooks, fire-wielded scimitars, a wizardly staff adorned with gemstones and precious stones.

Symbols and Payouts

The 50 paylines offered in Fire Portals facilitate numerous winning combinations across five reels. The payout table is quite extensive, offering rewards ranging from relatively low stakes to impressive sums depending on the stake and symbol combination.

  • High-paying symbols:

    • Pyramid with Starlight (8000x bet per spin)
    • Magician’s Staff (5000x bet per spin)
    • Tarot Cards of Death & The High Priestess (3000 – 2000 x bet per spin)
  • Medium to high-paying symbols:

    • Masks (100-50x bet per spin)
    • Books with Crystal Balls (80-20x bet per spin)

Wilds and Scatters

In Fire Portals, the "Crystal Ball" serves as both Wild & Scatter icon. This distinctive dual-functionality offers a unique advantage to players.

  • Crystal Ball Wild: • The Crystal Ball substitutes for all symbols in winning combinations except scatters. • Wilds appear on reels 2 -5 only and can spawn additional wilds during Free Spins
  • Crystal Ball Scatter: • Landing three or more scatter icons anywhere within the reel-set triggers a feature. • Scatters cannot be replaced by the wild icon in paylines.

Bonus Features

In addition to free spins, which will be discussed in detail later, Fire Portals also includes an innovative "Mystical Portal" bonus game triggered through specific combinations of symbols. The Mystical Portal Bonus activates once 5 Free Spins have been completed after triggering them with three scatters in the initial bet.

  • Gameplay: The portal selects one special symbol from the set of available icons and uses it as a Wild across all reels for that single spin only.
  • Free spins & Scatters: Additional rounds are awarded when landing three or more scatter symbols on consecutive, non-adjacent reels. Free Spins can be retriggered.

Free Spins

Fire Portals offers players several ways to activate free spins:

  1. Crystal Ball Scatter Combination: Landing at least 3 scatters anywhere across the reel set triggers a feature.
  2. Pyramid of Fire & High-paying Symbols in any Position: The combination will award one (1) Free Spin.

During the initial three rounds, no new Wilds can appear on reels that contain the activating scatters to prevent wins from exceeding expectations and preserve player excitement for subsequent spins.
