Learn how Fire Portals pays before you spin

Five matching symbols joined horizontally or vertically form a win on the 7x7 grid of Fire Portals. Wins come from connected groups, not paylines, so the groups on the grid decide what pays. The fantasy and fire theme puts a sorceress, a flaming dagger and gemstone rings on the grid. When a win lands, the winning symbols cascade away through the Tumble feature and new symbols fall in until no further win forms.

Free spins start when scatter symbols land, and each extra scatter adds spins to the round. Special reels take over, and Fire Portal Wilds on screen stay for the whole round instead of resetting each spin. A new trigger during the round can add more spins. No one can know in advance how often free spins arrive or how a session will go.

Feature notes

Scatters landed? Check how it starts

Read this once three or more scatters land on the reels.

Which scatter count gives 18 spins?

Scatters land on the 7x7 grid and start the round. 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatters give 10, 12, 14, 16 or 18 free spins. Special reels run the round, and Fire Portal Wilds stay on screen instead of resetting each spin. The round can be retriggered.

Base game spinsRetriggerable spins

Connect five symbols to pay

Symbols win in clusters of five or more connected horizontally or vertically on the 7x7 grid. Winning symbols tumble away, new ones refill, and this repeats until no further win. A Fire Portal Wild can spawn, grow and merge within a spin's tumbles.

5 steps, one round

Know each step before your first bet

Useful before your first spin, when you want the order of a round from bet to payout.

  1. Fire Portals bets from A$0.20

    Nothing moves on the 7x7 Base Game grid until you set a bet from A$0.20 to A$300. Every win scales with that stake.

  2. Before and after the tumble

    Symbols join a win when five or more touch horizontally or vertically on the 7x7 grid. Winning symbols tumble away, the grid refills, and the check repeats until nothing new pays.

  3. Which features does the base game use?

    Fire Portal Wilds spawn during a spin's tumbles, grow, and merge with each other inside that same spin. Walking Wild, Sticky Wild and the Progressive Multiplier also sit in the feature set.

  4. How many scatters trigger Free Spins?

    Three to seven scatters on the reels start Free Spins, and more scatters bring more spins. Special reels take over, and Fire Portal Wilds stay on screen for the whole round.

  5. Limit first, then the first spin

    Each spin moves your balance up or down, and no round tells you when to stop. Set your limit before the first spin, while the reels are still idle.

The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs a Stake Casino account and the legal age of 18+.

Bonus frequency and session outcomes

Every spin on the 7x7 grid starts with a random draw, so the reels decide when Free Spins begin. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. A session with no bonus at all and a session with several rounds can both come from the same RTP version.

The reels show each spin's result, but the RTP version behind them stays out of sight. Which RTP version this site runs is shown only in the game rules, so read those before the first spin. Whichever version runs, the RTP is a long-run average and says nothing about a single session.

A winning combination on the reels can pay well above the bet, but the game caps the top prize at x10,000 the bet. That ceiling is reached very rarely, so treat the maximum win as the highest possible figure, not a typical result. Plan a session around the bet you can afford to lose, not the top prize.

When the reels stop being fun

Players must be 18+. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.

How much can you lose?

Set a budget before the first spin, since high volatility means results can swing widely.

After a big win

Pick your stopping point before you start, and keep to it after a big win as well as after a loss.

Deposit and loss limits

Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so the session ends on your rules.

Is it still fun?

If the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop before you play on.
