Fire in the Hole 3 Bonus Features
As is typical of Nolimit City slots, Fire in the Hole 3 is packed with features. Here’s what to look out for as you spin those reels:
Collapsing Mine
Each spin in the base game starts with three active and locked rows. However, a collapse unlocks one locked row. The following can all lead to collapses:
- An xBomb wild explosion
- xHole feature triggered
- A winning combination
- Wild mining feature triggered
Lucky Wagon Spins
Landing three or more bonus symbols will trigger the Lucky Wagon Spins feature. The number of triggering scatters determines the number of open rows for the feature as follows:
Number of Scatters | Number of rows |
3 | 2 |
4 | 3 |
5 | 4 |
6 | 4 + persistent dwarf active on spin one |
During Lucky Wagon Spins, the top row can reveal enhancers. The enhancers are activated when a coin lands on the reel below it. The enhancers are:
- Coin values
- Multipliers
- Dynamite
- Persistent Dynamite
- Persistent dwarf
- Evil dwarf
- xHole
- Frozen wagon spins
- Collect chests
xBomb Wild Multiplier
These wilds substitute for all symbols except the bonus symbol. When the xWild explodes, it will remove adjacent symbols except bonuses and increase the multiplier by the value of the xWild on the next collapse.
Wild Mining
The Wild Mining feature is triggered when three, four, five, or six symbols match vertically or horizontally without forming winning combinations. The xHoles and xBomb wilds must also be inactive for Wild Mining to trigger.
The symbols that triggered the feature will be removed, and wilds will be placed in the middle of the grid. All positions above the bar, except bonus and ice buried symbols, will explode and trigger a collapse.
Buried Features
In the base game, the buried symbols can contain the following symbols:
- Wild
- xSplit
- Win multiplier
- xHole
- Bonus
- Max
The features are activated when an xBomb wild explodes to free the buried symbols.
xHole
This feature is activated when the xHole symbol lands on the reels. Regular paying symbols are drawn from the reels and scattered to random positions with split symbols of size one to three. The xHole symbol leaves an empty position, which triggers a collapse.
xSplit
When an xSplit symbol lands, it will split all other symbols on the reels. However, bonus, xSplit, and xHole symbols can’t split.
NoLimit Booster
There are three types of NoLimit boosters:
- Cost 2x your bet and guarantees a bonus symbol on reel two
- Costs 5x your bet and guarantees at least three bonus symbols in ice blocks
- Costs 5x your bet and activates all six rows
Fire in the Bowl
If you win 70,000x your bet, it will clean the mine, and the game will end.
