About The Game
Welcome to 8 Balls of Fire, a 20-payline video slot with Free Spins, Fireball Link re-spin bonus, Pot Pick bonus and more features.
8 Balls of Fire is a Video Slot with 6 reels and 3 rows incorporating 20 paylines. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more identical symbols land on a payline starting from the leftmost reel.
Wild Symbols
Wild symbols are 3-high stacked symbols. Wilds substitute for all symbols except Bonus symbols, Fireball symbols and Volcano symbols (during Free Spins). Volcano symbols are wild and substitute for all symbols except Bonus symbols and Prize Fireballs. Volcano symbols will not form a x3, x4, x5 or x6 win of purely that symbol type.
Fireball Symbols
During the base games and Free Spins, the fireball symbols on reels can display the following prizes (displayed in the game as cash values): 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x. Fireballs can also display Mini, Minor, Major and Mega Pot prizes.
Free Spins Bonus
Landing 3 or more Bonus symbols in view triggers the Free Spins Bonus, awarding 8 Free Spins. Free Spins are played with the same base bet as the activating spin. On each Free Spin the background volcano sends fireballs onto random positions on the reels, creating active positions on the reel (shown by a surrounding frame).
Active positions have 2 lives. If no Prize Fireball has spun into an active position, a life is removed. If both lives are removed, the position is no longer active. If a Prize Fireball lands in an active zone, the prize on the fireball is awarded, and the position becomes locked in and will remain active for the rest of the Free Spins. If all positions on a reel are locked in, all Prize Fireballs landing on the reel are doubled. Re-trigger within this zone will award 6 Extra Free Spins, and the Volcano Prize is increased by x4.
Volcano symbols landing in this zone award double the value of the Volcano Prize, and the Volcano Prize is then increased by 10x base bet. Volcano Symbols can appear during Free Spins. Volcano symbols are Wild and substitute for all symbols except Bonus symbols and Prize Fireballs. During Free Spins, inactive zones are processed first, then active zones, then locked-in zones. If Fireball Link is triggered during Free Spins, it is awarded before the inactive zones are processed.
Volcano Prize
The Volcano Prize is initially seeded with the following amounts based on the number of triggering symbols (prize shown as a multiplier of the base bet):
- 3: 15x
- 4: 25x
- 5: 50x
- 6: 100x
The Volcano Prize is awarded only during Free Spins. During Free Spins, Volcano symbols landing in view add a 5x base bet to the Volcano prize. Landing a Volcano symbol within an active or locked-in zone awards the current Volcano Prize and adds a 5x base bet to the Volcano prize.
X2 Fireballs
X2 Fireball symbols can be created during a Fireball Link feature awarded within Free Spins. After the Fireball Link feature is finished, if an X2 Fireball is within an active or Locked-in zone, it will double the Volcano Prize.
Re-Triggers
Landing a Bonus symbol within an active or locked-in zone re-triggers the Bonus, and awards 3 extra Free Spins. Re-triggering Free Spins doubles the current Volcano Prize. Bonus symbols appear on reel 6 only during Free Spins.
Fireball Link Bonus
8 or more Prize Fireballs landing anywhere in view trigger this bonus. Triggering Prize Fireballs are locked in place while other reel positions spin. Any Prize Fireball symbols that land are locked in place, and the remaining Respins resets to 3. The bonus ends when all positions are filled, or all respins are finished.
Prize Fireball values are based on the base bet. All prizes are awarded at the end of the bonus. The MEGA Pot prize is awarded when all positions are filled with Prize Fireballs. A X2 fireball in view will double the total value of the prize meter when all other prizes have been added. In the case that multiple X2 fireballs have landed, each one will double the prize meter in turn. E.g. if the final prize meter is 40.00, and two X2 fireballs have landed, the prize meter is doubled twice. 40.00 x 2 x 2 = 160.00.
Pick Bonus
Prize Fireballs landing during the base game are collected above the reels. The Pick Bonus can be triggered randomly on any base game where Prize Fireballs have been collected. Match 3 icons to win the respective prize.
Wild Fire Bonus
Randomly, during a base game reel spin, blue Prize Fireballs are added to the reels. Blue Prize Fireballs act as normal Prize Fireballs, but also act as Wild symbols. Blue Fireballs are wild during the base game only. Blue Fireballs substitute for all symbols except Bonus symbols and Volcano symbols.

How To Calculate Payline Wins
To calculate your total payline win, calculate all payline wins and add them together. To calculate a single payline win, count the number of identical symbols lined up in sequence on the line. If three or more identical symbols are lined up, find the win value in the dynamic Pay Table. There you can find the value for all symbols for 3-in-a-row, 4-in-a-row, 5-in-a-row, and 6-in-a-row. Only the highest winning combination per line is paid out.

Return To Player
The expected payback reflects the theoretical return across a very large number of spins by numerous players over an extended period of time and cannot be affected by the player’s strategy. The overall theoretical return to player is 90.5%. The maximum win is 10,000x base bet. If a player’s win exceeds 10,000x base bet, they will be awarded 10,000x, and any feature being played will end.
Additional Information
The reels are spun with a fair and equal chance for each stop position by a certified random number generator.
