How it plays
Fire in the Hole 3 is an online slot from Nolimit City set in a mine. Each spin starts with only some of the rows open, and more rows open with every collapse; bombs, ice blocks and several feature symbols make up the main play. This page covers only the rules and figures that are officially published and offers no way to win.
Each spin opens only some of the rows, and every collapse opens one more row until all of them are open.
A winning combination, an exploding bomb, the mining wild feature or the black hole feature can each cause a new collapse.
An xBomb® Wild substitutes for any symbol except bonus symbols; when it explodes, it removes the symbols next to it and raises the win multiplier of that collapse.
Ice blocks can hide wilds, split symbols, multipliers or bonus symbols, and what is inside is activated only once an exploding bomb breaks the ice.
Every round is random and earlier results have no effect on the next one. This site gives no betting advice.
