Fire Stampede is an online slot game developed by Pragmatic Play in collaboration with Wild Streak Gaming. Released on December 11, 2023, this high-volatility slot features a 6-reel layout with a unique 5-5-3-5-5 symbol arrangement, offering 1,875 ways to win.
The game's central mechanic is the Connect & Collect feature. Players aim to create chains of Connect & Collect symbols from left to right, connecting either horizontally or vertically. When these chains reach special positions on reels 3 or 6, they trigger various features:
- Respins: Available only on reel 3, triggering 5 respins with sticky Connect & Collect symbols.
- Money Values: Awards cash prizes between 2x and 800x the stake.
- Add Wilds: Randomly places wild symbols on reels 2, 3, 4, or 5.
- Free Spins: Grants 7 to 25 free spins plus a 2x bet payout.
- Minor, Major, and Grand Awards: Pays out 25x, 200x, or 4,000x the bet respectively.
The Free Spins bonus can be triggered through the Connect & Collect feature or by landing 3 or more scatter symbols. During free spins, the Connect & Collect feature remains active, offering the potential for additional free spins.
Fire Stampede also includes a Random Grand Award feature, where the 4,000x Grand Prize can be won at random after any base game spin. For players outside the UK, a Bonus Buy option is available for 100x the stake, guaranteeing a triggering spin with specific Connect & Collect outcomes.
The game's RTP is set at 96% by default but can be adjusted down to 95% or 94% by operators. With its high volatility and maximum win potential of 4,275x the stake, Fire Stampede offers a balance of risk and reward for players seeking intense gameplay.
