Fire Portals review

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

This game is on fire! Get ready to step through the portal into a magical realm when you give this Pragmatic Play slot game a try.

The visuals are completely immersive, with the game grid set in the wreckage of an ancient portal to another world. With swirling background animations in neon colors and shooting stars piercing through the sky, you'll really feel like you're on a different planet. Even the soundtrack matches – it's a dreamy, esoteric tune with an otherworldly feel.

Gameplay

Fire Portals is played on a square grid with seven reels and seven rows. You'll trigger a win when at least five of the same symbols touch each other horizontally or vertically anywhere on the reels. So you don't need to worry about symbols matching on any particular paylines.

The witch is the highest-paying symbol, and you'll also bag decent payouts for landing her special accessories, like the glittering ring or the bejeweled locket. At the end of every spin, winning symbols will be removed from the grid (except for the Scatter symbols), and new ones fall into place. These Tumbles continue until there are no more winning combinations left.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

The very special Fire Portal Wild symbol can appear at any time, and it substitutes for all other symbols except Scatters. The Wild symbol results from any winning combination that doesn't already contain a Wild. Wilds start off with a Multiplier of 1x, which increases after every explosion.

The book Scatter symbol can appear on any of the reels, and you'll need at least three of them to get into the Free Spins round. The more Scatters that land, the more Free Spins you get, up to a maximum of 18. Free Spins can be re-triggered by landing more Scatters during the round.

Depending on your location, you might be able to bet higher for an increased chance of landing Scatters, or buy your way into the bonus round.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

Fire Portals is a high volatility game, meaning that you might have to wait a while before you land a winning combination, but payouts tend to be a bit bigger than in other slots. The Return to Player (RTP) percentage is 96.06%, which isn't the highest, but it's still above the industry average of 96%.

You can start spinning on Fire Portals for just $/€/£0.20 per spin and the maximum stake value is high at $/€/£240 a go. The maximum win is 10,000x your stake – very appealing no matter how much you're playing for.

Conclusion

The Cluster Pays and Tumble mechanisms make Fire Portals more fun and engaging than a lot of other slot games. We also liked how the Wilds come with increasing Multipliers, so there are plenty of chances to win. While 18 Free Spins isn't the most we've come across, the round still offers good potential for wins. And with a max payout of 10,000x your stake, it's definitely worth giving this game a try.
