Fire In The Hole 2 Slot Information

Thematically, things remain pretty much the same. We wouldn’t mind seeing more changes to the setting, but at the same time, we feel right at home. There are some visual upgrades, however, with sharper symbols and new animations, so it does still feel new. Fire In The Hole 2 can be played on all common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is created by landing 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel, which then triggers a collapse.

The lower-paying symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, and K. If you create a win with 6 of the same symbol type, it gives between 1X to 1.5X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are a shovel, a pair of boots, a map, a bag, and a lantern. If you create a win with 6 of the same symbol type, it gives between 1.75X to 7.5X the bet. The golden nugget is the game's scatter symbol, with three or more of these golden nuggets activating the bonus game. You will also be able to land xBomb Wild Multipliers, Upgrade symbols, Dirt symbols, and Enhancer symbols, which we will tell you more about in the features section.

Bonus game with a crystal upgrade symbol on the right.

Collapsing Mine

Each spin begins with 3 active rows, and for each collapse, an additional row becomes active, up to 6 rows. A collapse can be triggered by either a winning combination, a wild mining feature being triggered, or through an xBomb wild explosion. The winning symbols will be removed, with new symbols falling down to cover the empty positions.

xBomb Wild Multiplier

The xBomb Wild Multiplier substitutes for any paying symbol. Then, it will explode, removing adjacent paying symbols and increasing the overall multiplier for the next collapse.

Wild Mining

Wild Mining will be triggered in base game when 3, 4, 5, or 6 of the same kind of symbols align horizontally or vertically, and there is no winning combination. 

The triggering symbols will be removed, creating Wild symbols in the middle positions where 3, 4, 5, or 6 symbols award 1, 2, 3, and 4 wilds, respectively.

xSplit

An xSplit Symbol can land, splitting all symbols on its row, doubling those symbols. Scatter symbols and xSplit symbols can’t be split. If all xSplit symbols have been activated, they will turn into one of the normal paying symbols. Any dirt blocks affected by the split feature will be removed.

Buried Features

Dirt symbols in the base game may contain Wild, Split, or Scatter symbols. Feature symbols buried in the dirt are inactive until the dirt block they are contained in is removed by a connection or hit by an xSplit feature.

Lucky Wagon Spins

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols triggers the Lucky Wagon Spins with 2, 3, or 4 rows of the reel area open initially, respectively. 

During the feature, the top row will reveal enhancers for each spin. An enhancer is activated when a coin lands on the reel below the enhancer.

The feature starts with 3 spins and will reset to 3 spins every time a coin lands in the reel area. During the feature, a bunch of different symbols can also land to boost the values of your coins:

Upgrade Crystal

The additional 7th reel may reveal Upgrade symbols each spin. All the Coins landing on the Upgrade symbol row will gain the below additional effect:
• Coin values and Multiplier will cause the Coin to continue to be active for the next spin.
• Dynamite, Beer, and Dwarf features become persistent features, activating their effects until Lucky Wagon Spins end.

Coin Values

Coins with an x value attached to them can land.

Multipliers

Multiplies the value of all coins on the reel below it.

Dynamite

Adds the Dynamite number as times bet value to the triggering coin. It then throws as many Dynamites as number on reel positions.
• If it lands on Dirt: will remove the Dirt symbol.
• If it lands on Coin: will double the Coin value.
• If it lands on Chest: will activate the Chest.

Beer

Reactivates 0-5 old Coins which makes them trigger their respective enhancers for the next spin. The triggering coin gets a value of 1x.

Dwarf

Collects all values in the reel area at the triggering coin position.

Collect Chests

During the feature, the bottom row Collect Chest can be activated by Dynamites. When a Collect Chest is activated it will collect the values in the reel area for the corresponding reel above for every spin. Lucky Wagon Spins will end if the reel area is full and there are no active features for remaining spins.

xBet

At a total cost of 250% of the base bet, at least 1 Scatter symbol is guaranteed on the last inactive row for each spin. Additionally, all dirt positions are removed from the main game, making the buried features land without the dirt and trigger immediately when they are in the active reels.

Feature Buy

If you’re looking for some quick action, the following 4 Feature Buys are up for grabs: 
70x = Triggers the 3 Scatter Lucky Wagon Spins.
200x = Triggers the 4 Scatter Lucky Wagon Spins.
600x = Triggers the 5 Scatter Lucky Wagon Spins.
3600x = Triggers the 5 Scatter Lucky Wagon Spins with a guaranteed collector.
175x = Gives you a 50% chance to land 3 Scatters, 40% chance of 4 Scatters, and 10% chance of 5 Scatters.

Fire In The Hole 2 Slot Conclusion

Yes, the bombastic dwarf is back at it again! For people who have followed him in previous versions like Fire in the Hole, Dead Canary xBomb, and Misery Mining xBomb know that his greatest loves seem to be down in the mine. Where all dreams of gold in abundance, great love, and sweet beer have been there, but at the cost of some canaries. Fire In The Hole made an explosive entrance into the gaming world, where Nolimit City showed exemplary gameplay filled with innovative gameplay, great design, and good stats. Although adjustments have been made between the versions in how the grid is presented, the core has remained, so when they now chose to create a version whose name says that it is a direct sequel to the first, we became curious about what was new.

Here they have preserved all the lovable elements that we previously took part in Fire In The Hole, but where small essential adjustments have been made to optimize the gaming experience. The ability to make special symbols persistent with the help of crystal upgrades really spices things up and also the ability to split symbols into more, making the base game better in the hunt for bonus game triggers. But if you don't have the patience to wait for the bonus game that is activated on average at 1 in 211 spins, you can breathe easy, as an xBet can be used that radically lowers the number of average spins to 1 in 49 spins.

They have also increased the potential maximum win from 60,000X the bet to 65,000X the bet. These are definitely improvements that make a big difference, and as we have seen in games such as Sugar Rush 1000, this game provider has also chosen to slightly optimize a beloved game setup instead of changing tracks completely. All in all, a new, maximized game adventure awaits with the dwarf, who has brought some new equipment down into the mine to make the hunt for wealth even more fun.

Fire In The Hole 2 is a slot where an enhanced gaming experience awaits the dwarf who is thirsty for more of that sweet liquid gold.
